Driving and epilepsy: changing the law in Maryland.

The Epilepsy Association of Maryland, an affiliate of the Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA), recognized that the Maryland state regulations and laws on driving licensing restricted the rights of individuals with epilepsy. After identifying the problem, the Association determined the needed changes and planned a legislative strategy to accomplish the change. Once the change was achieved, the Association planned and executed steps necessary for successful implementation of the change.
