Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to allow students who enroll and successfully complete a driver's education course to receive a certificate which the DMV will accept in lieu of being tested at the DMV.

AI Summary

This bill allows students who are enrolled in and successfully complete a driver's education course to waive the written and road skill tests typically administered by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when applying for an operator's license. Instead, certified driver education teachers will administer these examinations, and upon successful completion, issue a "High School Driver Education Certificate." This certificate will be accepted by the DMV in place of their own testing for six months, meaning no further DMV testing will be required unless the certificate expires, in which case full testing will be necessary; however, individuals under 18 transferring an out-of-state license will still need to undergo both written and road tests by the DMV. All standard driver's license fees will still be paid to the DMV upon presentation of a valid certificate.
