Bill > SF2028

This bill allows students to complete driver's education through a flexible combination of online, teleconference, and in-person classroom instruction, with three key conditions: the instruction must come from a single licensed driver's education provider, the curriculum must be identical across all instruction formats, and the provider must be authorized by the commissioner to offer at least two methods of classroom instruction. Specifically, students can mix and match different instruction modes (like taking some classes online and others in-person) while maintaining the same educational standards. The bill will take effect on August 1, 2025, applying to driver's education instruction that begins on or after that date. This change provides more flexibility for students in completing driver's education, potentially making it easier to accommodate different learning preferences, schedules, or accessibility needs while ensuring the quality of instruction remains consistent.
