Driver licenses; requiring Service Oklahoma to deny certain licenses to certain persons who do not provide certain documentation. Effective date.

SB 1538 requires Oklahoma's Service Oklahoma to deny driver licenses or permits to applicants under 18 without specific documentation proving school enrollment, graduation, or equivalent status, or proof of passing an 8th-grade reading proficiency test. It mandates school districts to provide enrollment verification forms and requires parents/guardians to submit written statements if school is not in session. The bill includes an exception allowing licenses for minors employed at least 24 hours weekly, verified by employers, and requires schools to notify Service Oklahoma if a minor withdraws from school. This directly affects teenagers seeking driver's licenses in Oklahoma by linking licensing to educational status and reading skills.
