HB 1541 -- Intermediate Driver's Licenses

Sponsor:  St. Onge

This bill requires, beginning January 1, 2007, parents or legal
guardians of applicants for a temporary instruction permit to
provide 40 hours of behind-the-wheel driving instruction.  A
minimum of 10 hours must occur during the nighttime hours.
Currently, only 20 hours of behind-the-wheel driving instruction
is required.

For the first six months after issuance of an intermediate
driver's license, the driver cannot operate a vehicle with more
than one passenger younger than 19 years of age who is not a
member of the driver's immediate family.  After the first
six-month time period has passed, the driver must not operate a
vehicle with more than three passengers younger than 19 years of
age who are not members of the driver's immediate family until he
or she receives a full driver's license.
