Introduced by: James K. O'Brien, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Driver's licenses for persons 19 years old and younger. Requires all applicants (rather than only unlicensed ones) for driver's licenses who are less than 19 years old to furnish proof that they have successfully completed a driver education program approved by the State Department of Education. The bill also requires persons under 19 (rather than those under 18) to hold learner's permits at least nine months before applying for a driver's license, and authorizes the issuance of temporary driver's licenses, valid for six months, to persons who are 18 years old and hold valid driver's licenses issued in another state.
