AI summary Students who miss 10 percent or more of their school days in a semester or year will not be allowed to get a driver's license until they turn 18. If a student already has an intermediate or full license, the state will suspend it until they reach that age. Schools and instructors are responsible for reporting these students to the Department of Transportation.1

This bill provides that a person of compulsory attendance age who is deemed to be a truant for 10 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.
