STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27271 / H0422
This bill is an overall cleanup of the State Driving Businesses Licensure Board enabling act. The amendments
include clarifying the definition of a driving business, modifying the qualifications for the public board
member, moving the fees to administrative rule, and clarifying insurance requirements. Consistent with the
Governor's Licensing Freedom Act, the proposed legislation also would reduce the apprenticeship training
hour requirement to qualify for driving business instructor licensure from 60 to 30 hours of classroom
instruction and 108 to 50 hours of behind-the-wheel training. The bill also includes amendments to reduce
duplicative language.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no impact to the General Fund, because the board operates solely on dedicated funds. There is no
impact to the Bureau of Occupational Licenses dedicated fund since the proposed legislation will not alter the
number of board meetings held each year, require more services be provided to the board, or change any fee
schedules.
