The bill amends Section 49-307 of the Idaho Code to update provisions related to parent-student on-road driver’s training and make technical corrections. It introduces a new structure for fees associated with class D driver's training courses, reducing the fee for students participating in parent-student on-road training from $15 to $10. The bill also clarifies that eligible students can fulfill driver's training requirements through parent-student on-road training, provided they live in a rural school district or a district without a driver's training course. Additionally, it mandates that students must complete 30 hours of classroom instruction through approved online courses and outlines the qualifications for parents or guardians providing this training.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that a qualifying parent or legal guardian must maintain a driving log for each session and submit it to the county driver's license office upon completion of the training. It also establishes that students must meet certain requirements before applying for a class D driver's license, including a minimum age and a period of supervised driving. The bill includes various technical corrections, such as updating the numbering of subsections and clarifying language regarding the responsibilities of parents and guardians in the training process. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
