This bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Louisiana's Revised Statutes regarding the requirements for private training and driving instructor schools. It changes the title of the authority responsible for overseeing these schools from "deputy secretary" to "commissioner" and outlines the commissioner's responsibilities in establishing rules and regulations for the issuance, suspension, or revocation of licenses and contracts. The bill also specifies the requirements and qualifications for applicants, the terms and manner of instruction and testing, and the penalties for violations, including fines that may reach up to $1,500.

Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions relevant to driving instructor training schools and agencies, including terms such as "principal," "third-party tester," and "third-party examiner." These definitions clarify the roles and responsibilities of individuals and entities involved in providing driving courses for Class D and E licenses. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulatory framework governing driving instructor training in Louisiana, ensuring better oversight and compliance with established standards.
