What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) licenses schools

that give instruction, for compensation, in the operation of motor vehicles (driver

schools). In an application for a driver school license, the applicant must identify all

driver school office and driver school classroom locations. DOT may promulgate

rules relating to driver schools and these rules currently include provisions relating

to driver school classrooms. By statute, a driver school classroom is a facility that

is approved by DOT and used to conduct driver training.

Under this bill, a driver school may provide driver training instruction by

means of the Internet instead of, or in addition to, providing instruction at a driver

school classroom.
