Abstract: Provides that a vertical Class "D" or "E" driver's license that was issued to a
person under the age of 21 will expire upon that person's 21st birthday.
Present law requires the expiration of a Class "D" or "E" driver's license on the anniversary
of the birthday of the applicant which is nearest to a period of six years subsequent to the
issuing of the license, unless suspended, revoked, or canceled prior to that time.

or canceled prior to that time.
