SUMMARY: Senate Bill 2695, authored by State Senator Dennis DeBar Jr, is headed to the Mississippi State Senate. The bill aims to require school districts with secondary schools to establish and maintain driver education and training programs. The proposed legislation would amend a section of the Mississippi code from 1972, requiring the state superintendent of education and the commissioner of Public Safety to recommend courses to the State Board of Education. Additionally, the bill would allow students to participate in driver education programs without needing a learner’s permit or driver’s license, as long as they are under the supervision of an instructor.
