What’s in it
AI summary People with a special minor's driver's license would be allowed to drive between their home or school and their place of employment. This change replaces the old rule that allowed minors to drive specifically for farm work. Additionally, the new law removes the rule that automatically says a student does not need a license if they live less than one mile from their school.1
