AI Summary
This bill directs the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue New York drivers' licenses to individuals holding a valid or recently expired driver's license from a Caribbean country. Specifically, the bill allows the DMV to accept driver's licenses issued by 28 Caribbean countries or territories, including Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, and Jamaica, as valid for identification, age, and examination purposes. The individual must still pass the written examination and vision test required for a New York license. The bill aims to make it easier for Caribbean residents to obtain a New York driver's license.
