HF 456: Relating to third-party test examiners authorized to administer knowledge and final field tests to persons seeking a driver’s permit or driver’s license

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Current law authorizes the department of transportation (DOT) to examine every new applicant for a driver’s license, any person holding a valid driver’s license when the DOT has reason to believe that the person may be physically or mentally incompetent to operate a motor vehicle, and any person whose driving record appears to the DOT to justify the examination. In addition, a final field test prior to a student’s completion of an approved driver education course must generally be administered by a person qualified as a classroom driver education instructor and certified to provide street and highway driving instruction.
