Resolve establishing a special commission to investigate and study the protection of junior operators

SD 345 establishes a special commission to study laws and regulations related to junior operator licenses and vehicle safety for minors, aiming to improve driver safety and reduce traffic fatalities. The commission, composed of state safety and transportation officials, legislative leaders, and a driver education instructor, will examine specific provisions like passenger restrictions for junior drivers, increased penalties for violations, and expanded driver education requirements. The commission must submit findings and legislative recommendations to the Joint Committee on Public Safety by December 1, 2026. This bill does not enact new laws but creates a study group to evaluate potential safety improvements for teen drivers.
