KY SB123

All written examinations and road skills tests for instruction permits and operator's licenses in Kentucky must be administered in English only

Applicants are prohibited from using translation dictionaries, electronic devices, or interpreters during written examinations

Exemptions from testing requirements remain in place for applicants holding valid licenses from reciprocal states, those who completed approved motorcycle rider training courses, and Kentucky citizens returning from U.S. military service with expired licenses

The bill amends KRS 186.480 to incorporate the new English-only testing requirements into existing examination procedures administered by the Department of Kentucky State Police
