  2 10    This bill provides that a person who does not possess a
  2 11 high school diploma or its equivalent and who does not attend
  2 12 a public school, an accredited nonpublic school, competent
  2 13 private instruction, an alternative school, or adult education
  2 14 classes shall not be issued a driver's license until age 18,
  2 15 and if the person has already been issued a license, the
  2 16 person shall surrender the license.  The bill also prohibits
  2 17 the department of transportation from issuing a temporary
  2 18 restricted license to the person.
  2 19    Currently, the Code does not address the issue of who
  2 20 possesses a high school diploma or its equivalent, but says
  2 21 only that a person who does not attend a public school, an
  2 22 accredited nonpublic school, competent private instruction, an
  2 23 alternative school, adult education classes, or who is not
  2 24 employed at least 20 hours per week shall not receive a motor
  2 25 vehicle operator's license until age 18.
