This bill amends Section 49-307 of the Idaho Code to update the provisions regarding parent-student on-road driver's training. It allows eligible students to fulfill their driver's training requirements through parent-student on-road training, removing the previous stipulation that this option was only available to students living in rural school districts or those without a driver's training course. The bill establishes that students must complete 30 hours of classroom instruction through an approved online course and outlines the qualifications for parents or legal guardians who wish to provide the driving instruction. Additionally, it mandates that a driving log be maintained and submitted to the county driver's license office upon completion of the training.

The bill also clarifies the requirements for obtaining a class D driver's license, including the age restrictions and the necessity of completing a supervised instruction period. It specifies that permit holders under 17 years of age must adhere to certain conditions, such as being accompanied by a licensed driver and accumulating a minimum number of supervised driving hours. The legislation declares an emergency, indicating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
