The bill amends Section 31-10-7 of the General Laws regarding temporary driver's permits for individuals over the age of eighteen. It introduces new provisions that allow the division of motor vehicles to issue a temporary driver's permit to applicants for a full operator's license, which will be valid for a minimum of thirty days before the applicant can take the road test. The temporary permit must be carried by the applicant while driving and will become invalid once a full license is issued or if the application is denied for valid reasons.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the temporary driver's permit will expire one year from the date of issuance unless it is canceled, revoked, or suspended earlier, and it can only be renewed for an additional year. This legislation aims to establish a waiting period of thirty days after receiving a learner's permit before the applicant is eligible to take the road test for a full license. The act will take effect upon passage.
