What’s in it

AI summary People with a special minor's driver's license would be allowed to drive between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. to help with farm work or travel to and from a farm job. This change also lets these drivers stop at a service station along their route. Additionally, living very close to a school would no longer automatically disqualify a student from getting this license if they live or work on a farm.1

between the licensee’s residence, schools of enrollment, bus stops, and sites, facilities, or schools designated by the licensee’s district or school of enrollment for the accommodation of the school’s extracurricular activities, with certain limitations. for the purpose of assisting the person’s parents, guardians, or employers with farm work or in connection with any farm job, employment, or other farm-related work, including traveling to or from the location of the farm work, provided the driving distance between the point of origin and the destination is no more than miles. The bill also allows a licensee to operate a motor vehicle to a service station along the associated routes. Under current law, an application for a special minor’s driver’s license must be accompanied by a statement from the applicant’s school of enrollment certifying that a need exists for the license. The fact that an applicant resides at a distance less than one mile from the applicant’s school of enrollment is prima facie evidence of the nonexistence of necessity for the issuance of the license. However, the bill provides that the distance between the applicant’s residence and school of enrollment shall not be considered regarding the existence of a necessity if the applicant resides on a farm or is employed for compensation on a farm.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $50.
