The bill amends K.S.A. 8-276 to update the qualifications for driving school and motorcycle instructors in Kansas. It allows instructors to possess a driver's license or motorcycle driver's license from any state, rather than being restricted to a Kansas-issued license. The bill outlines specific requirements for driving school instructors, including educational credentials, knowledge of safety programs, physical ability to operate a vehicle, and a health certificate. Additionally, it specifies that motorcycle instructors must complete the same requirements and hold a valid motorcycle license from any state.

The bill also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 8-276, streamlining the qualifications for instructors. The changes aim to broaden the pool of potential instructors by recognizing licenses from other states, thereby enhancing the availability of driver education and training in Kansas. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas register.
