AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- OPERATORS' AND CHAUFFEURS' LICENSES

SB 362 exempts foster care youth in Rhode Island from paying tuition fees for driver education courses at the Community College of Rhode Island. The bill amends existing law to specifically include individuals receiving foster caregiving in foster and adoptive homes (as defined by state law) under a fee waiver program. This change directly affects foster youth aged 15+ seeking driver's education, removing a financial barrier to obtaining a driver's license. The provision applies to the standard 33-hour classroom driver education program offered through the college.
