Relative to learner's permits and junior operator's licensing. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide young drivers with more practical driving experience by making several changes to learner's permits and junior operator licensing laws. Specifically, it lowers the minimum age to obtain a learner's permit from sixteen years to fifteen years and six months, and extends the required supervised driving period from six months to one year. Additionally, the bill increases the required supervised driving hours from 40 to 80, and doubles the required night driving hours from 12 to 24, all intended to ensure new drivers gain more proficiency before operating a vehicle independently.
