HB 518-FN, relative to eligibility for youth operators' licenses. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
Rep. Brenda L. Ferland for Transportation: This bill would have required a youth operator to furnish proof of current school attendance, receipt of home education or a high school diploma to obtain an operators license. Although we all want our children to get a good education there are good reasons why some kids do not finish their schooling. They can be good, productive members of society without a diploma and shouldn’t be punished for a life style that is beyond their control. Vote 13-0.
