AI Summary
- Authorizes the Department of Driver Services to conduct knowledge tests, on-the-road driving skills tests, and other tests for license applicants, while removing the authority for licensed driver training schools to issue driver's licenses directly to successful applicants
- Clarifies the term "on-the-road driving skills test" throughout Chapter 5 of Title 40, replacing the previous "on-the-road driving" test terminology with consistent "on-the-road driving skills" language
- Allows a department-issued receipt reflecting issuance, renewal, replacement, or reinstatement of a driver's license to serve as proof of license if confirmed valid by the department or Georgia Crime Information Center, though such receipts cannot be used for voter identification or proof of age for alcohol purchases
- Removes restrictions that limited ignition interlock device permit holders to driving only for employment, school, treatment meetings, and interlock monitoring visits, instead applying the same general "extreme hardship" standards used for other limited driving permits
- Effective date of January 1, 2015
