SPRINGFIELD — With support from the Illinois Secretary of State and AARP, State Senator Ram Villivalam is leading the charge on a measure to reduce the barriers seniors face when looking to renew their driver’s licenses.
“According to the data, seniors are among the safest drivers on our roads. This legislation addresses the discrimination many older adults face by raising the age for driving tests,” said Villivalam (D-Chicago). “It also brings Illinois in line with 45 other U.S. states by allowing family members to report medical concerns about a relative’s driving ability, regardless of age.”
