Bill > HB2003

This bill, titled the "Juveniles Unlocking Driver Education (JUDE) Act," makes several changes to Arizona's laws regarding driver's licenses and instruction permits for young drivers. Primarily, it lowers the age at which individuals can obtain an instruction permit for a class D or G license (standard passenger vehicles) from fifteen years and six months to fifteen years old, and for a class M license (motorcycles) from fifteen years and six months to fifteen years old. The bill also extends the duration of a class D or G instruction permit from twelve months to eighteen months, and a class M instruction permit from seven months to twelve months. Furthermore, it increases the required supervised driving practice for a class G license from thirty hours to fifty hours, with the nighttime practice requirement increasing from ten hours to twenty hours, and for a class M license, it increases the supervised practice from thirty hours to fifty hours. Finally, the bill requires that a class G license holder must have held their instruction permit for nine months instead of six months before applying for a full license, unless they have a license from another state.
