In 7 yrs., when his license comes up for renewal, my currently 87 yr old brother-in- law must “renew …licenses in person, allowing authorities to assess their capabilities firsthand.” And have “a mandatory vision test at each renewal.” Yeah – THAT’S cracking down”

Show me the guidelines/policy/rules used to “assess their capabilities firsthand.” Explain to me & my BIL the qualifications the DVM worker has achieved to “assess their capabilities firsthand.” Tell me which DVM worker is going to stick his or her neck out to deny him a renewal. On, and pleeaasse let me know when FL legislature passes these requirements & Gov. DeSantis signs it.

This FL cracking down??? HAHAHAHA
