SB 613 - This act eliminates the requirement that a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian sign the application that a 16 year old applicant has completed 20 hours of supervised driving. This bill also allows the Director of Revenue to deny a full license to an individual until he has demonstrated safe driving performance for a period of 12 months or reaches the age of 21, whichever is longer. An individual may obtain a full license upon reaching the age of 17 if he or she successfully completes a driving training program approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education or a program offered by a private institution approved by the Department of Revenue. The act also prohibits the Department of Revenue from requiring a person to file a SR-22 or other form of high risk insurance for driving without automobile insurance.
