Driver's education financial assistance pilot program established, and money appropriated.

HF 1970 establishes a temporary driver's education financial assistance pilot program in Minnesota to help low-income youth aged 15-24 access driver's education and driver's licenses. The program provides grants of up to $2,000 per youth to cover costs like driver's education courses, permit fees, and license application fees, funded through a new state revenue account. Eligible youth must meet specific criteria, including experiencing homelessness, being in foster care, receiving certain public assistance, or facing documented financial hardship. The program requires implementation in diverse communities (urban, rural, suburban, Tribal) and mandates reports on its operation, with administrative costs reimbursed from the same account.
