What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Technical College System Board must approve courses

of study for each program offered in technical college district schools, including

driver education courses. TCSB may not approve a driver education course unless

the course includes certain content, such as acquainting students with the hazards

posed by farm machinery and animals on highways and by railroad grade crossings

and providing instruction in safely dealing with these hazards. The Department of

Transportation licenses private driver schools and DOT may not license a driver

school unless its course of instruction includes the content required for TCSB

approval of a driver education course.

Under this bill, technical college and licensed private driver school commercial

motor vehicle driver education courses must provide instruction in the recognition

and prevention of human trafficking.
