What’s in it

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

Licensees who attend a nonpublic school currently operate under a similar 50-mile restriction.F.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.
