AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen the review process for a medically conditioned license to operate a motor vehicle. It creates a medical advisory board within the registry to provide advisory opinions on the fitness of applicants for learner's permits or licenses, or for persons whose right to operate has been suspended or revoked due to a physical or mental disability. The bill also requires a more stringent review process for applicants who have had their license suspended or revoked due to an illness that requires ongoing monitoring and active management. The board may grant exemptions for medical conditions that affect vision, such as light or photosensitivity, and recommend that the license be conditionally approved with reasonable requirements to demonstrate the operator's continued ability to responsibly operate a motor vehicle.
