A bill for an act relating to the maximum driving distance for persons issued a special minor’s restricted driver’s license who participate in open enrollment.
HF 613 modifies Iowa's driving restrictions for minors aged 14-18 holding a special minor's restricted license who participate in open enrollment. It increases the maximum allowable driving distance between a minor's home and school from 25 miles to 40 miles for these students, while maintaining the existing unlimited distance rule for those attending public school within their district. The bill specifically applies to students enrolled in open enrollment programs under section 282.18. It does not change the 25-mile limit for other restricted license holders or alter the current penalties for violations. This change aims to provide greater flexibility for students attending schools outside their home district through open enrollment.
