2006 Senate Bill 1290 ↩

Senate Roll Call 532: Passed

To recodify in a single updated statute the state law regulating and licensing drivers education courses, revising and updating many details of the law. A detailed explanation is here. Among other things the bill would certify driver education providers and instructors, rather than license driver training schools and instructors. It would also require criminal history check of instructors, create a "Driver Education Provider and Instructor Fund" to cover administration of the certification and oversight, funded by increased application fees and administrative fines collected under the bill. In addition, the bill would require an additional one hour of behind the wheel instruction for teenagers.
