DIGEST
Gallot (SB 105)
Present law authorizes public license tag agents to contract with the Department of Public Safety
and Corrections, office of motor vehicles, to administer knowledge and skills tests to applicants
for the issuance of Class "D" or "E" drivers' licenses.
Present law provides motorcycles, motor driven cycles, and motorized bicycles do not have a
separate driver's license class, but their use is provided for by making an endorsement on  the
basic classes of drivers' licenses.
Proposed law retains present law and adds authority for public license tag agents to administer
knowledge and skills tests to applicants for the issuance of the "M" endorsement on Class "D" or
"E" drivers' licenses to operate motorcycles, motor driven cycles, and motorized bicycles.
Effective August 1, 2014.
