Driver licenses and learner permits; age in which the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency may deny an application for failure to meet certain school enrollment and graduation criteria changed, accepted criteria further provided for

Summary

The bill changes Alabama law so that anyone under 17 who cannot show a high‑school diploma, GED, or satisfy one of several approved criteria can be denied a driver’s license or learner’s permit. It lists the acceptable alternatives—such as enrollment in a diploma program, good school standing, job‑training, substantial employment, parenting, or certain medical certifications—and requires schools to provide documentation of a student’s status. The goal is to ensure that very young drivers have completed or are actively pursuing a high‑school credential before receiving a license.
