SF 2358 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the maximum driving distance of unsupervised persons issued a special minor’s restricted driver’s license who are enrolled at an accredited nonpublic school.

SF 2358 allows minors with special restricted driver's licenses to drive beyond the standard 25-mile limit for unsupervised travel between home and an accredited nonpublic school. It creates a waiver process: parents or guardians apply to the school's administrator, who can approve a waiver permitting unlimited distance for the home-to-school commute. The approved waiver must be carried by the minor while driving. This directly affects minors enrolled in accredited nonpublic schools who would otherwise face the 25-mile restriction for their commute. The bill does not change other existing restrictions on unsupervised driving.
