What it does
This bill provides that a person of compulsory attendance age who is deemed to be a truant for percent or more of the days in a semester or term of a school year or instruction year shall not receive an intermediate or full driver’s license until age 18. If the person has already received an intermediate or full driver’s license, the bill requires the department of transportation to suspend the license until the person is age 18.
