SCS/SB 673 - This act allows holders of temporary motorcycle instruction permits to only renew such permits two additional times (for a total permit period of 18 months). The act also applies the same renewal restriction to temporary driver instruction permits. If a temporary driver instruction permit includes a motorcycle endorsement, then the temporary driver instruction permit with the motorcycle endorsement shall only be valid for 6 months (not 12 months as it is under current law) and may only be renewed two additional times (for a total of 18 months). The act also removes the motorcycle engine size restriction and the 50 mile operating restriction from the temporary motorcycle instruction permit. In addition, the act applies the two remaining restrictions (passenger restriction and night-time operation restriction) that currently only apply to permit holders under the age of 16 to all temporary motorcycle instruction permit holders, regardless of age.

The act has an effective date of May 1, 2013.
