This bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding learners' permits. It modifies Section 1505(e) by adding a new subsection (e.1) and making a slight adjustment to the introductory paragraph. Specifically, it stipulates that a person under 18 years old must meet certain conditions before taking the examination for a junior driver's license, including a Class M license for motorcycles. The language "Before" is replaced with "Except as provided under subsection (e.1), before," indicating that there are exceptions to the previous requirements.

The newly added subsection (e.1) introduces a military exception for learners' permits, allowing the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to credit the time a minor has held a learner's permit from another state and the hours of practical driving experience completed if the minor is a family member of an active duty service member, resides in Pennsylvania with that service member, holds a valid learner's permit from another state, and has a learner's permit issued by Pennsylvania. This provision aims to facilitate the licensing process for military families. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
