Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize international students with F-1 visas who have obtained a drivers permit to drive. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill allows international students with F-1 visas from certain countries who have obtained a Massachusetts driver's permit to continue legally driving on their own country's valid license for up to 45 days after receiving their Massachusetts permit. The bill is intended to address a gap in the law that previously required these students to immediately obtain a Massachusetts driver's license even after passing the driver's permit test.
