What’s in it

AI summary Students with special minor's driver's licenses can currently drive to certain extracurricular activities if the location is in their school district or a neighboring one. This change would instead allow them to drive to these activities as long as the trip is no more than 50 miles long. This rule applies to students attending both public and private schools.1

to, among other locations, a site, facility, or school that is not the licensee’s school of enrollment for certain extracurricular activities if the site, facility, or school is within the licensee’s school district of enrollment or is within a school district contiguous to the licensee’s school district of enrollment. This bill instead allows the licensee to operate a motor vehicle during such hours to a site, facility, or school that is not the licensee’s school of enrollment for certain extracurricular activities provided the driving distance between the point of origin and the destination is no more than miles. Licensees who attend a nonpublic school currently operate under a similar 50-mile restriction.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.
