The bill amends Florida Statutes regarding driver license education requirements. Specifically, it stipulates that applicants for a driver license who are 18 years of age or older must complete a traffic law and substance abuse education course, unless they have been licensed in another jurisdiction or have completed a Department of Education driver education course. Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for obtaining a learner's driver license by mandating that applicants who are at least 15 years old must satisfactorily complete a driver education course approved by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which meets specific educational standards.

Key changes include the insertion of language specifying the age requirement for the driver license education course and the replacement of the previous education course requirement for learner's licenses with a new approved driver education course. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
