Relates to restricting participation in the pre-licensing course internet pilot program
This bill restricts eligibility for a driver's license pre-licensing course pilot program to applicants aged 25 and older. It amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to exclude individuals 25 years old or younger from participating in the internet-based pilot program, which evaluates online delivery of required pre-licensing courses for certain driver's license classes (DJ/MJ). The restriction applies during the program's pilot period (June 2020-June 2025) and does not affect the program's expiration. This directly impacts young drivers seeking these licenses through the online pilot option.
