The bill establishes a Driver's Education Financial Assistance Pilot Program within the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, aimed at providing financial support to eligible youth aged 15 to 24 for attending driver's education courses. The program will award grants to various eligible entities, including school districts and nonprofit organizations, to enhance access to driver's education and licenses for disadvantaged youth. The bill outlines specific eligibility criteria for youth seeking assistance, such as experiencing homelessness or being part of a foster care system, and sets a maximum assistance amount of $2,000 per eligible youth.

Additionally, the bill creates a work group composed of representatives from education, public safety, and economic development sectors to study the availability and accessibility of driver's education in Minnesota. This group will analyze barriers faced by low-income students and recommend permanent funding solutions to expand driver education opportunities. The pilot program is set to expire on June 30, 2028, and includes a one-time appropriation of $3,850,000 from the general fund for its implementation and reporting requirements.
