What’s in it
AI summary People with special minor's driver's licenses would no longer be allowed to drive specifically for farm work. Instead, teenagers who are 16 or older could use their license to drive between home or school and their place of employment. This change applies to driving between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. along the most direct route.1

A licensee may also operate a motor vehicle to a service station along the associated routes. over the most direct and accessible route between the licensee’s residence or school of enrollment and the licensee’s place of employment, provided the driving distance between the licensee’s place of employment and the nearest point on the route on which the licensee is otherwise authorized to travel is no more than miles. Under current law, a special minor’s driver’s license application 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, if an applicant resides or is employed for compensation on a farm, the distance between the applicant’s residence and school cannot be considered. The bill does not amend these provisions.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.
