Driving regulations for people with epilepsy vary enormously from country to country (and even within some countries) and within regions of the world. There are also many countries that have no regulations or have blanket bans on driving for persons with epilepsy. It can often be very difficult to access information on what regulations apply in a country and as a result many people with epilepsy are unfairly precluded from, or restricted in, driving. It also means that many people with epilepsy drive when they should not, as a consequence of unfair or unclear rules.

The aim of the Governance Task Force is to thoroughly review and propose amendments to the Constitution and/or Bye laws of the International Bureau for Epilepsy such that any revisions to them can be put forward for the approval of the IBE voting members at the next most appropriate General Assembly.

The Task Force will also consider issues which fall within the scope of the above which are either referred to the Task Force by the President or the International Executive Committee or which the Task Force itself concludes are appropriate topics for its consideration and to report its deliberations and recommendations to the President and the International Executive Committee.
