Summary
The bill changes the rules for people who are 18 to 21 and are applying for their first non‑commercial driver’s license. Applicants must hold a learner’s permit for at least 90 days (up from 60) and finish an approved driver‑education course before they can get a permanent license. A learner’s permit plus proof of education can be used as a temporary license to drive alone until the full license is issued.
