Stubblefield, Collins-Smith, B. Johnson, Flippo, D. Sanders  \n6 By: Representative Sturch 7  \n8 For An Act To Be Entitled  \n9 AN ACT TO ENACT THE ARKANSAS TEEN DRIVER AND PARENTAL  \n10 EDUCATION ACT OF 2015; TO REGULATE DRIVERS LICENSING;  \n11 TO IMPROVE DRIVERS LICENSING PRACTICES AND  \n12 PROCEDURES; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.  \n13  \n14  \n15 Subtitle  \n16 TO ENACT THE ARKANSAS TEEN DRIVER AND  \n17 PARENTAL EDUCATION ACT OF 2015.  \n18  \n19  \n20  \n21 WHEREAS , injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents are the leading  \n22 cause of death for children and adolescents in the United States and in  \n23 Arkansas. Motor vehicle crashes rank first for injury-related deaths and  \n24 disability, particularly for teenagers between fourteen (14) and nineteen  \n25 (19) years of age , accounting for one-third (1/3) of teen deaths ; and 26  \n27 WHEREAS , the risk of motor vehicle accidents is highest when  \n28 adolescents are learning to drive and within the first year after licensing .  \n29 Adolescents represent the highest risk age group on the roads . Drivers  \n30 sixteen (16) years of age are four (4) times more likely to be involved in a  \n31 motor vehicle accident than drivers between the ages of twenty (20) and  \n32 twenty-four (24); and 33  \n34 WHEREAS , Arkansas has historically had much higher rates of teen  \n35 driving crashes and fatalities than other states . As recently as 2008, 36 Arkansas teens were dying at two (2) times the national average ; and  \n1  \n2 WHEREAS , motor vehicle death rates recently have decreased nationally  \n3 and more dramatically in Arkansas , with a reduction of more than fifty  \n4 percent (50%) in the past six (6) years ; and 5  \n6 WHEREAS , recent research has led to an improved understanding of the  \n7 factors that make learning to drive and novice driving safer , including a  \n8 three phase approach: the learner stage with supervised driving, the  \n9 intermediate stage permitting solo driving with restrictions on high-risk  \n10 situations, followed by granting a full license without driving  \n11 restrictions; and 12  \n13 WHEREAS , new research that focuses on supervised driver experience  \n14 during the learner’s period demonstrates the importance of having a licensed  \n15 driver as a coach during the first twelve (12) months of driving experience  \n16 while learning to negotiate the many demands of driving safely, reducing the  \n17 likelihood of deaths and insurance claims for drivers sixteen (16) years of  \n18 age by as much as twenty-six percent (26%); and 19  \n20 WHEREAS, statistical research offered by the Arkansas Center for  \n21 Health Improvement, in coordination with the Injury Prevention Center at  \n22 Arkansas Children's Hospital, demonstrates that parental involvement, teen  \n23 driver education, and enforcement of the principles of the graduated drivers  \n24 licenses contained in Arkansas Code § 27-16-701, et seq . , and Arkansas Code §  \n25 27-16-801, et seq . , have reduced the loss of life and injuries to teen  \n26 drivers; and 27  \n28 WHEREAS, a demonstrated need ex is t s for more parental education about  \n29 the mechanics and procedures contained in the graduated drivers license laws  \n30 to help Arkansas families procure drivers licenses for their teenagers; and 31  \n32 WHEREAS, in rural Arkansas limited opportunities e x i s t for teens to  \n33 apply, take the written driving test , and take the drivers' skills test  \n34 necessary to procure a drivers license; and 35  \n36 WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of Arkansas's families to  \n1 streamline the process to reduce time away from work for parents; and 2  \n3 WHEREAS the Department of Arkansas State Police is the lead  \n4 governmental agency in testing for drivers licenses and providing  \n5 information about obtaining drivers licenses; and 6  \n7 WHEREAS , the Departm","cbCaimAEr8g6BEPo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAEr8g6BEPo","pdf",167161,"English","# Subtitle\n## To enact the Arkansas Teen Driver and Parental Education Act of 2015\n# Whereas\n## Findings on teen driving risk and injury prevention\n# Enactment\n## Authority of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas\n# Section 1\n## Duties of Department of Arkansas State Police\n# Section 2\n## Do not codify and title reference","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Arkansas Senate Bill 49 (2015)?\",\"answer\":\"It enacts the Arkansas Teen Driver and Parental Education Act of 2015 to regulate drivers licensing, improve licensing practices and procedures, and support teen driver education and parental involvement.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the bill emphasize graduated driver licensing education?\",\"answer\":\"The bill cites that motor-vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death for youth and that risk is highest during learning to drive and the first year after licensing.\"},{\"question\":\"What duties does the bill assign to the Department of Arkansas State Police?\",\"answer\":\"The bill requires the department to improve its website as an information repository and to distribute graduated-license application and procedure information electronically, virtually, and through literature in coordination with the Injury Prevention Center.\"}]","Arkansas Teen Driver and Parental Education Act of 2015 - AN ACT TO ENACT | PDF",1790703028,13]
