HB 805 -- TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION PERMIT

CO-SPONSORS:  Mayer, Richardson

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee
on Motor Vehicle and Traffic Regulations by a vote of 8 to 0.

Current law requires parents to provide a minimum of 20 hours of
driver training in order for their child to obtain a temporary
instruction permit and intermediate driver's license.

This bill also gives instructors of persons enrolled in a
federal residential job training program the authority to sign
the application for a temporary instruction permit stating the
applicant will receive 20 hours behind-the-wheel driving
instruction.

The bill clarifies that any person who has a temporary
instruction permit and is a participant in a federal residential
job training program may operate a motor vehicle accompanied by
a driver training instructor.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that driver education instructors
should also be allowed to certify the 20-hour driver training
requirement.

Testifying for the bill were Representatives Mayer and
Richardson.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
