Reports out of Springfield indicate that the Secretary of State is backing drafted bi-partisan legislation with the AARP of Illinois to up the age for senior citizens behind the wheel drivers license testing.
The bill would increase the testing age from 79 to 87 and also implement new procedures to allow immediate family relatives to report unsafe elderly drivers.
Illinois is currently the only state in the nation that requires a behind the wheel driving test for seniors based on age.
In addition, the state is one of only five in the nation that does not allow family relatives to report concerns about a relatives driving ability.
If passed by the House and Senate, the Road Safety and Fairness Act would make Illinois consistent with other states in the U.S.
