What’s in it
Under current law, to be qualified to provide street or highway driving instruction, a person must be certified by the department of transportation (DOT) and authorized by the board of educational examiners. This bill provides that if the person is a peace officer with five or more years of experience, or a retired peace officer who holds a driver’s license valid for more than two years from the date of issuance, the person need not be authorized by the board of educational examiners. Under the bill, “peace officer” includes sheriffs and their regular deputies who are subject to mandated law enforcement training, marshals and police officers of cities, peace officer members of the department of public safety, and employees of the DOT designated as peace officers.
