HB 648 -- Temporary Driver's Permits

Sponsor:  Ostmann

Current law requires parents to provide a minimum of 20 hours of
behind-the-wheel driver instruction in order for their child to
obtain a temporary instruction permit or an intermediate
driver's license.  This bill gives an option of 20 hours of
parent driver instruction or the completion of a formal driver
training program which certifies the driver is competent to
receive a driver's license.

The bill also makes it clear that any person at least 15 years
of age may operate a motor vehicle while in the immediate
presence of a certified driver training instructor.
