What This Bill Does
This bill clarifies who can supervise a minor with a learner permit while operating a vehicle.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- defines terms;
- clarifies that a stepparent or foster parent can supervise a minor with a learner permit; and
- makes technical changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah law already allows a parent or legal guardian to supervise a teen driver with a learner permit, and this bill updates the definition of "parent" in that law to explicitly include stepparents and foster parents, making clear they have the same supervisory authority. The rest of the changes are technical cleanup — updating numbering and standardizing language throughout the section.
