Summary


The terminology used by the division is being changed from "functional ability profile" to "safety assessment level" in an effort to clarify that an individual is being assessed for safety reasons, rather than being profiled as having a medical condition. In addition, the language is being removed that incorporates the guidelines by reference. The guidelines are made available to physicians and the public both on the Driver License Division (DLD) website, and at DLD headquarters. The portion of the guidelines that results in the automatic denial of an individual's driving privilege is outlined in Section R708-7-5 of the rule. The rest of the document is applied as a guideline for the division to use, in addition to documentation provided by an individual's physician, in an effort to determine whether an individual is able to safely operate a motor vehicle.
