AI Summary

This bill amends the eligibility requirements for restricted drivers' licenses that allow farm workers aged 15 and older to operate motor vehicles for farm work. The key changes are: 1) removing the requirement that the license holder must be assisting their parents or guardians with farm work, allowing them to work for any authorized farm entity; 2) allowing the license holder to operate a vehicle within 40 miles of the farm where they are working, rather than just their parents' or guardians' farmhouse; and 3) requiring a written statement from the farm owner, if the applicant is not working for a parent or guardian, explaining the necessity for the license.
