Maryland eyes test bill passes House debate over burden
The Maryland House of Delegates approved a bill requiring motorists to pass an eye exam every four years by an 85 to 41 margin, sending it to the Senate where it previously stalled. Supporters argue it improves safety and aligns with renewals, while opponents call it bureaucratic harassment and burdensome. The measure would let drivers skip the test if they prove an eye exam within a year of renewal and allows the MVA to require testing if eyesight is questioned.
