1/4/08-AB2 remained in the Assembly Committee on Transportation when the 2007 session closed. It can be brought back for consideration during the session that begins Jan. 15.

3/21/07-A bill in the Assembly Committee on Transportation is intended to help families in the state deal with the problem of telling aging relatives that they should no longer be behind the wheel.
Sponsored by Rep. Sheldon Wasserman, D-Milwaukee, AB2 would require persons age 75 to 85 to take free vision test or submit results from a doctor's test every three years. Drivers over age 85 would be required to take vision and written knowledge tests every two years.
Existing state law allows for renewal of driver's licenses every eight years.
