Bill > H3036

This bill, known as "David's Law," establishes a dedicated "Young Driver Education Trust Fund" to support driver education courses in public high schools for students. This fund will be financed by a new 5% surcharge on all assessments for moving violations, meaning a small additional fee added to the penalties for traffic offenses. The bill also mandates that public high schools *shall* offer driver education courses, changing the current language from "may," ensuring these programs are a requirement rather than an option. The money collected from the surcharge will be managed by the state treasurer and used specifically for these driver education programs, with provisions allowing for payments in anticipation of collected revenue to prevent interruptions.
