Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is required to
provide each applicant for renewal of a driver's license with information on child
safety restraint systems and, as developed by all organ procurement organizations
in cooperation with DOT, information on anatomical donations. DOT must also
provide each applicant who is 65 years of age or older with medicare acceptance of
assignment information.
This bill requires DOT to also provide each applicant for renewal of a driver's
license with information, as developed by DOT in consultation with the state affiliate
of Operation Lifesaver, Inc., on traffic regulations relating to railroad crossings.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
