Department of Licensing:
The bill aims to improve young driver safety by expanding driver education requirements and adjusting fees for licenses, exams, permits, and license service fee. The total revenue impact is an increase from fees, and a partially indeterminate amount from new students/instructors.
It mandates phased-in driver training education for individuals up to 25 years old and increases certain fees starting in 2026, with portions of these fees allocated to a new Driver Education Safety Improvement Account.
Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:
