SB438

Senate Bill 438 amends Arkansas law regarding the issuance of driver's licenses to military personnel and their families. It specifically updates the requirements for active-duty military members, their spouses, and their dependents who are sixteen years of age or older and possess an expired driver's license. Under the proposed changes, individuals who were residing outside the United States due to military assignments at the time their license expired may obtain an Arkansas driver's license by meeting specific conditions. These conditions include surrendering the expired license, paying the required fees, passing an eyesight test, and presenting a valid, unexpired military identification card. This bill aims to streamline the licensing process for military families returning to or moving to Arkansas after serving abroad.
