Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for anyone under 18 to pass an eighth‑grade level reading test and show they are enrolled in school (or have a lawful excuse) before a driver’s license or permit is issued. It also creates an alternate path for full‑time employed teens, sets documentation rules, and adds penalties for falsifying information. The goal is to ensure young drivers have basic literacy and are actively engaged in education.
