Bill > H2945

This bill aims to further regulate the issuance and use of junior operator licenses, which are licenses for young drivers. It mandates that high schools must annually provide a seminar on the dangers of texting and driving, and all students are required to attend these sessions. Additionally, to obtain a junior operator license, applicants will need to submit a letter of good standing from their principal or a designated school official. The bill also introduces stricter penalties for junior operators who violate certain laws, including increased fines and longer license suspensions for offenses such as texting while driving or violating other traffic regulations, with repeat offenders facing extended suspensions and mandatory programs designed to encourage attitudinal changes in young drivers.
