This bill proposes to allow students to participate in a flexible driver's education program that combines online, teleconference, and in-person instruction. Under the new section [171.397] FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTION PERMITTED, students can receive this combination of instruction as long as it is provided by a single licensed or authorized driver's education provider, the curriculum is consistent across all formats, and the provider is authorized by the commissioner to offer multiple methods of classroom instruction. The bill also establishes an effective date for this new provision, stating that it will take effect on August 1, 2025, for any driver's education instruction that begins on or after that date. This change aims to enhance accessibility and flexibility in driver's education, accommodating various learning preferences and circumstances for students in Minnesota.
