What changed in the latest version
1222 added · 1187 removedPlain-language change summary
The proposed changes to Bill HB 1878 involve specifying different age groups that will be required to complete a driver training education course before obtaining their driver's license. The amendment removes references to a specific traffic safety education program and clarifies the requirement for education courses, including options for online training. This change is significant because it broadens the options available for young drivers to fulfill their training requirements, allowing more flexibility in how they prepare for safe driving.
