HCS/HB 1309 - This act allows, in addition to a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian, any family member older than 21 years of age to occupy the seat beside the driver with a temporary instruction permit. This act also allows any family member over the age of 21 to sign the application for an instruction permit stating that they will provide the statutory minimum hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. The act also provides that permit holders must obtain the written consent of the motor vehicle owner when operating such vehicle during the instruction permit period. STEPHEN WITTE
