MOTOR VEHICLES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the Parent-Student On-Road Driver’s Training Program.
This bill reduces the fee for parent-student driver's training from $15 to $10 and clarifies eligibility. It allows students in rural school districts or districts without driver's training courses to receive behind-the-wheel instruction from a parent or legal guardian who holds a valid Idaho license with no recent suspensions. Students must still complete 30 hours of online classroom instruction through approved programs. Parents must log driving sessions and submit them to the county driver's license office upon completion.
