Provides that the Secretary of State may issue a special restricted license for a period of 12 months to an individual using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses, allowing the operation of a motor vehicle during nighttime hours. Provides that the Secretary shall adopt rules defining the terms and conditions by which the individual may obtain and renew this special restricted license. Provides that all drivers must meet minimum requirements, including: possession of a valid driver's license; previous operation of a motor vehicle during daylight hours for a period of 12 months using vision aid arrangements other than standard eyeglasses or contact lenses; having a driving record that does not include any traffic accidents; and successful completion of a road test administered during nighttime hours. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that the minimum requirements for these drivers include having a driving record that does not include any traffic accidents that occurred during nighttime hours, for which the driver has been found to be at fault, during the 12 months before he or she applied for the special restricted license (rather than having a driving record that does not include any traffic accidents). Provides that any driver issued a special restricted license whose privilege to drive during nighttime hours has been suspended due to an accident occurring during nighttime hours may request a hearing to contest that suspension. Provides that the Secretary may reinstate the driver's nighttime driving privilege if it is determined that the accident for which the driver was at fault was not influenced by the driver's use of special vision aid arrangements.
