It is a class two misdemeanor usually settled with a fine. Yuma County charges just under $300. If he can go the MVD and pass the eye test to have the corrective lens restriction removed, the prosecutor will likely dismiss the charge. Even if your brother had 20/20 vision, he would still be in violation. He can still work something out with the prosecutor such as a deferral or diversion if offered in your area.
