Summary
The bill revises Connecticut’s teen‑driver passenger rules so that 16‑ and 17‑year‑old license holders may carry their siblings. It retains existing restrictions—such as limited passengers for the first six months and a night‑driving ban—except for volunteer emergency responders and Safe Ride drivers. Violations become infractions with short‑term license suspensions.
