Drivers Education Modifications.

This bill updates North Carolina laws regarding driver education and commercial driver training to improve safety and oversight. It requires the Division of Motor Vehicles to provide free printed copies of the driver's license handbook to public schools, ensuring students learn about proper interactions with law enforcement during traffic stops. The legislation also imposes stricter rules on commercial driver training schools, mandating they meet public school education standards and keep their contracts available for inspection. Additionally, the bill establishes continuing education requirements for driver instructors, sets specific license renewal fees, and allocates $100,000 in state funds to help cover the costs of these new regulations.

MINOR
The bill underwent a transition from a draft filing status to its official first edition, resulting in the removal of internal tracking codes and the addition of formal page numbering and session headers. These changes reflect standard legislative formatting procedures rather than any alteration to the bill's substantive policy, scope, or legal requirements.
TECHNICAL

Internal draft identifiers (e.g., 'DRS45504-NEa-128') and the 'Filed' date stamp were removed to finalize the document version.

Official session headers, bill number formatting, and page numbering were added to establish the bill as the 'First Edition' for the 2025 session.
