What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides that a driver school may not be established within 1,500 feet of a Department of Transportation office where operator's licenses are issued or official driving skills tests are given. This bill eliminates that prohibition.
Current Department of Transportation administrative rules prohibit a driver school from soliciting business within 1,500 feet of a DOT office where operator's driving skills tests are given. This prohibition does not apply if the municipality where the DOT office is located has a population less than 10,000 and the business district in which the DOT office is located is less than 1,500 feet long. This bill modifies that exception to provide that the prohibition does not apply if the municipality where the DOT office is located has a population less than 15,000 and eliminates any requirement relating to the size of the business district were the DOT office is located.
