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" of the office of motor vehicles. The bill also clarifies the commissioner's role in establishing rules and regulations related to the issuance, suspension, or revocation of licenses and contracts, as well as the qualifications of applicants. Additionally, it introduces a fine structure for violations, allowing fines up to $1,500 for breaches of statutory law, rules, and regulations.

Furthermore, the bill enacts new definitions relevant to driving instructor training schools and agencies, particularly for Class D and E licenses. It defines key terms such as "principal," "third-party tester," and "third-party examiner," which clarify the roles and responsibilities of individuals and entities involved in driver education programs. The bill aims to enhance the regulatory framework governing driving instruction in Louisiana, ensuring that standards are maintained and that penalties for non-compliance are clearly outlined.
