AB 708 California Assembly · 2019-2020 Regular Session

Traffic violator schools.

Summary
Existing law provides for the licensing of traffic violator school owners, operators, and instructors by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law sets forth requirements for traffic violator schools, including that the school procure and file with the department a bond of $15,000 for home study schools and $2,000 for classroom-based schools. Existing law prohibits an office or place of business of a traffic violator school from being within 500 feet of a court of law. Beginning July 1, 2020, this bill would require a traffic violator school to procure and file a bond of $15,000 with the department, and would require an office or place of business of a traffic violator school to meet certain criteria, including having a minimum of 100 square feet and not being located within 50 feet of another licensed traffic violator school.
