Bill > H3104

This bill proposes to reform driver education and training by transferring the responsibility and jurisdiction for these programs from the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), the state agency that handles driver licensing and vehicle registration, to the Department of Education, which oversees public schools. The bill also outlines how driver education and training should be funded, suggesting a mix of tuition and fees paid by students and parents, revenue collected by the RMV, contributions from automobile manufacturers and dealers, and incentives from the insurance industry. Furthermore, the Department of Education would be tasked with overseeing these programs in all secondary high schools, and legislative committees on public safety would be involved in ensuring a smooth and timely transfer of these duties from the RMV to the Department of Education.
