SCS HB 648, HB 477 & HB 805 -- DRIVER'S LICENSES

Under current law a person under 16 years of age who holds a
temporary instruction permit must be accompanied when driving by
a grandparent, parent, or guardian who has a valid driver's
license.  This bill adds certified driver training instructors
and qualified instructors of private driver's education programs
to those who may accompany an under-16 temporary permit holder.

Time that any temporary instruction permit holder spends with a
driver training instructor is allowed to count toward the
required 20 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.

A driving instructor is permitted to sign the application for a
temporary permit of a person enrolled in a federal residential
training program stating that the applicant will receive 20
hours of driving instruction.

The bill contains an emergency clause.
