SB0555

Learner's Permit holders

Learner's permit holder; passenger limits; use of cell phone. Prohibits a holder of a learner's permit from (i) using a cell phone while driving and (ii) having more than one passenger under age 21.

Current law prohibits the holder of a provisional driver's license who is under the age of 19 from (i) having more than one passenger under age 21 unless a parent is present and (ii) using a cellphone.

The bill removes the exception that a provisional driver's license holder under age 18 may have more than one passenger under age 21 if a parent is present. The bill also clarifies that the passenger limitations on all provisional driver's licenses do not include household or family members.

This bill was modified by the Senate to change licensing requirements for persons 18 years of age and older. This bill will no longer require persons age 18 and older to hold a learner's permit for 9 months before obtaining their driver's license. In addition, these persons will not be required to take a driver education course. Once a person turns 18, they will be required to hold the learner's permit for only 60 days.
