Sponsor: Representative Marshall, LD 7

House Engrossed

Overview

Tasks each employed or contracted instructor at a traffic survival school with providing a valid fingerprint clearance card to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) or a contracted private entity of ADOT.

History

A person may not act as a traffic survival school unless the person applies for and obtains from the ADOT Director (Director) a license in the manner and form prescribed by the director.

Rules adopted by the Director must state the requirements for a school license, including: 1) requirements concerning location, equipment, courses of instruction, instructors, previous records of the school and instructors, insurance in an amount and with provisions that the Director deems necessary to protect adequately the interests of the public and other matters prescribed by the Director; and 2) a requirement that traffic survival school courses of instruction must consist of at least eight hours of instruction and include information relating to aggressive driving and be offered and completed in person and may not be offered or completed online unless the Governor declares a state of emergency. 

ADOT may grant a person who enrolls in a traffic survival school a onetime waiver of the in-person requirement if the person demonstrates to ADOT that completing the course in person would impose a substantial burden on the person.

Each applicant who owns 20% or more of an entity and each partner or stockholder who owns 20% or more of an entity and who seeks traffic survival school licensure must provide ADOT or a contracted private entity of ADOT with a valid fingerprint clearance card (A.R.S. § 28-3413).

Provisions

1.   Requires each instructor who is employed by or under contract with a traffic survival school to provide to ADOT or a contracted private entity of ADOT, with a valid fingerprint clearance card. (Sec. 1)
