(Des Moines) The Iowa House passed a bill changing driving privileges for drivers under the age of 18.
This bill passed in the Senate two weeks ago and moved to the House for consideration. Iowa House Representative Tom Moore, of Griswold, said SF 2109 would replace the current school permit and farm work permit system with a new restricted work license and a special minor’s restricted license.
“The special minor’s restricted license would be for those between the age of 14.5 and 16 who has an instructional permit, has completed driver’s education or have been allowed by the DOT to get the license without driver’s ed due to hardship, and is enrolled in a school. This license would allow qualifying teens to drive to and from school, extracurricular activities, work, and stop at service stations.”
Moore said written permission from a parent or guardian must be filed with the DOT.
