The law specifically targets drivers under 21 with probationary licenses who violate restrictions on passenger limits or nighttime driving, which are currently in place for drivers under 21. Named after Daniel Kearney, a 19-year-old who died as a passenger in a 2021 accident where the driver was under 21 with a probationary license and had two passengers.
