Vehicle Laws - Drivers' Schools and Driver Education Programs - Age of Instruction Vehicles

HB 1183 requires all vehicles used for instruction in Maryland driver education programs - including both commercial driving schools and public school programs - to be no older than 10 model years. This applies to all instructional vehicles used in classroom, lab, and on-road training sessions. The bill updates existing law by adding this age limit to vehicle standards for both driver education programs and drivers' schools, effective October 1, 2025. It directly affects driver education providers and the vehicles they use for student training.
