The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6675, aims to enhance road safety by mandating continuing education for motor vehicle operators. Specifically, it seeks to amend section 14-41 of the general statutes to require individuals renewing their motor vehicle operator's licenses to attend a continuing education class focused on safe driving practices. This initiative is a response to the rising number of motor vehicle fatalities, with the intention of equipping drivers with updated knowledge and skills to promote safer driving behaviors.
The bill introduces new legal language that stipulates the requirement for continuing education upon license renewal, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text. By implementing this requirement, the bill aims to reduce accidents and improve overall road safety for all users.
