What’s in it

AI summary People with a special minor's driver's license would be allowed to drive to their jobs between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. instead of being allowed to drive for farm work. This change applies to minors traveling on the most direct route between their home or school and their workplace. Additionally, the rule that says a student does not need a license if they live less than one mile from their school would be removed.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, 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. The bill strikes the presumption of the nonexistence of necessity for an applicant who lives less than one mile from the applicant’s school of enrollment.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.
