Driver Education -
New Laws
Due to an amendment of Law part 252 (Driver
Education) we will need to change how we are doing
permit testing this year. The amendment is as
follows: "The amendments include a definition of
"enrollment" for purpose of an approved driver
education course as that period of time beginning 30
days prior to the time a student begins classroom
instruction through the conclusion of the driver
education course." This is basically stating
students can only receive permits from the school 30
days prior to the start of class.
We will have permit test on the following dates for
specific terms:
Term 2- September 29th
Term 3- November 19th
Term 4- February 4th
Effective July 1,
2007
“School Truant and License Sanctions”
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code and the School
Code. Provides, beginning July 1, 2007, with certain
exceptions, for the cancellation of or refusal to
issue a driver's license or permit for failure of an
unmarried person under 18 years of age to maintain
school attendance.
Effective July 22,
2006
Provides that a parent or guardian must certify that
an un-emancipated minor has received 50 hours of
behind-the-wheel instruction, at least 10 hours of
which must have been at night, in order for the
minor to receive a graduated driver's license.
Effective January 1, 2006
Each driver under the age of 18 years and each of
the driver's passengers under the age of 19 years
(changed from 18) shall wear a safety belt. |
