What’s in it
Under current law, to be qualified to provide street or highway driving instruction, a person must be certified by the department of transportation (DOT) and authorized by the board of educational examiners; however, certain peace officers and retired peace officers are not required to be authorized by the board of educational examiners. This bill provides that certain peace officers and retired peace officers need not be certified by the DOT. Current DOT administrative rules also provide certain instructor preparation requirements for driving instructors.
