What’s in it

AI summary Students with special minor's driver's licenses would be allowed to drive to extracurricular activities between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. as long as the trip is no more than 50 miles. This change replaces the current rule that limits driving to locations within the student's own school district or a neighboring one. The new distance limit applies to students attending both public and nonpublic schools.1

to, among other locations, a site, facility, or school that is not the licensee’s school of enrollment for certain extracurricular activities if the site, facility, or school is within the licensee’s school district of enrollment or is within a school district contiguous to the licensee’s school district of enrollment. This bill instead allows the licensee to operate a motor vehicle during such hours to a site, facility, or school that is not the licensee’s school of enrollment for certain extracurricular activities provided the driving distance between the point of origin and the destination is no more than miles. Licensees who attend a nonpublic school currently operate under a similar 50-mile restriction.F.194 is punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.

Changed since by amendment S-3064; see Amendments.
