PURPOSE: This rule establishes the drivers license retesting requirements after a license expires pursuant to section 302.173, RSMo.

1. (1) Every holder of a valid Missouri drivers license, school bus permit, or both, shall renew that license or permit, or both, on or before the date of expiration.
2. (2) If a person does not renew the drivers license, school bus permit, or both, on or before the date of expiration, the person is allowed a grace period of six (6) months (one hundred eighty-four (184) days) to renew the license, permit, or both, without being required to take the written and skills examinations as described in 12 CSR 10-24.060 or 12 CSR 10-24.400.
