H 99 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

DRIVER TRAINING – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding Class D driver’s training instruction permits and Class D supervised instruction permits.

Idaho's H 99 revises rules for Class D driver's training permits, creating a new "parent-student on-road driver's training" option for teens in rural school districts without driver education programs. It allows parents or guardians with valid licenses to provide in-car driving instruction (6 hours observation + 6 hours behind-the-wheel) while students complete classroom training online. The bill reduces the enrollment fee to $10 for this option (from $15) and specifies how fees are distributed to state highways, county funds, or driver training accounts. It directly affects teens aged 14.5-17.5 seeking driver's permits in qualifying rural areas, requiring them to complete online classroom instruction regardless of parent training.
