EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Currently, a special minor’s license may be issued to a person between 14 and 18 years of age. The license allows limited driving between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. by the most accessible route for the purpose of attending classes at schools of enrollment and extracurricular activities within the school district. The license also allows driving to the service station closest to the route the licensee is traveling on for the purpose of refueling.
   This bill allows a person with a special minor’s license to also drive, between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., from the person’s residence or school of enrollment to another school for the purpose of participating in extracurricular activities conducted under a sharing agreement with the student’s school of enrollment. The licensee may also drive to the closest service station for the purpose of refueling.
