This bill proposes to amend Minnesota Statutes, chapter 171, by introducing a new section, [171.397] FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTION PERMITTED. It allows students to participate in a combination of online, teleconference, and in-person driver's education instruction under specific conditions. The bill stipulates that the instruction must be provided by a single licensed or authorized driver's education provider, the curriculum must be identical across all formats, and the provider must be authorized by the commissioner to offer at least two methods of classroom instruction in accordance with existing regulations. The effective date for this new provision is set for August 1, 2025, applying to driver's education instruction that begins on or after that date. This legislative change aims to enhance the flexibility of driver's education programs, accommodating various learning preferences and circumstances for students.
