What’s in it
AI summary Certain active and retired police officers would no longer need to get special certification from the Department of Transportation to teach people how to drive on streets or highways. These officers would also be excused from following specific training requirements usually required for driving instructors. This change affects law enforcement officers, including sheriffs, deputies, and city police.1
Read the official explanation

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. The bill exempts certain peace officers and retired peace officers from those requirements.4(11)(a, b, c, and h), a peace officer includes sheriffs and their regular deputies who are subject to mandated law enforcement training, marshals and police officers of cities, peace officer members of the department of public safety, and employees of the DOT designated as peace officers.49C, after service as a peace officer.
