What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
