The Medical Review Board identifies drivers with physical or mental impairments which hamper their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. The Medical Review Board consists of ophthalmologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and rehabilitation specialists. Board members provide medical advise to the Division of Driver Licensing on license applicants and licensees that are reported to the Board. The authority for the Medical Review is found in Kentucky Revised Statues 186.444, 601 KAR 13:010, and 601 KAR 13:090.
