SB 412 Suspension of certain students' driver's licenses.
Introduced by: Charles J. Colgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Suspension of certain students' driver's licenses. Authorizes school boards to establish regulations requiring the division superintendent to provide written notification to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of any student who has 15 or more unexcused absences, as defined by the local school board, and has failed to comply with efforts of the school division to ensure his regular school attendance. This regulation must provide for notice to the parents and students of the potential for suspension of the student’s driver’s license, notice to the parents when the student has been determined to have acquired 15 or more unexcused absences, and an opportunity to appeal the school board’s determination of the 15 or more unexcused absences to the division superintendent. The division superintendent’s decision will be final. If the division superintendent notifies the DMV of the 15 or more unexcused absences, the student’s license will be suspended until the division superintendent notifies the DMV, in writing, that the student is in regular school attendance.
