Bill > S05945

This bill amends the existing vehicle and traffic law to modify the pre-licensing course internet pilot program by restricting participation to persons 25 years of age or younger, instead of the previous limitation which specified class DJ and class MJ license applicants. The pilot program, which was originally set to run from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2025, will continue with this new age-based eligibility restriction. Currently, the pilot program allows for evaluating internet-based delivery of pre-licensing courses required for obtaining a driver's license. The bill does not change the overall duration of the pilot program, and it takes effect immediately. The amendments will expire along with the original section of the vehicle and traffic law governing the pilot program. The primary purpose appears to be narrowing the pool of participants eligible to take the online pre-licensing course by focusing on younger drivers.
