The bill amends the Driver Education Provider and Instructor Act by updating the requirements for the segment 2 curriculum course. It stipulates that students must have successfully completed a segment 1 driver education course, held a valid level 1 graduated driver license for at least three months, and accumulated a minimum of 30 hours of driving experience, which includes at least two hours of night driving with a licensed adult. Notably, the nighttime driving requirement is exempt for individuals with a graduated driver license that restricts them to daylight driving.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the segment 2 curriculum must include at least six hours of classroom instruction, with a maximum of two hours per day. It requires instruction on the right to make an anatomical gift in the event of death, developed in collaboration with the state's organ procurement organization, and specifies that instructional materials must be provided to students. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new requirement for instruction on how to approach and pass a stationary authorized emergency vehicle, ensuring that driver education encompasses critical safety practices.
