The No
Pass/No Drive law (HB 32) was implemented on August 1, 2007.
In the new legislation enacted by the Kentucky General Assembly,
this law will apply to ALL students 16 and 17 years old who
apply for a permit or license on or after August 1, 2007.
This law will not affect minors who received their instructional
permit or license prior to August 1, 2007. It is important
to understand that when a sixteen or seventeen year old goes
to the circuit court clerk’s office to obtain an instructional
permit or license, a school compliance verification form must
be presented verifying that the student is in compliance with
KRS 159.051. The public/private school students may obtain
the school compliance verification form from their school.
Home school/job corp students may obtain the form from the
Board of Education office in the county of residence. If a
sixteen or seventeen year old does not present a school compliance
verification form he/she will not be eligible to obtain an
instructional permit or license.
The
Driver License/ID Card Application form (Parent/Guardian Signature
form) has been revised to include parental consent for the
receipt and release of the information regarding the attendance
and academic requirements for a minor to acquire and keep
an operator’s license, intermediate license, instructional
permit, or privilege to operate a motor vehicle.
This form is available in Adobe-pdf
format or jpg.
When
a sixteen or seventeen year old student drops out of school
or is declared to be academically deficient, the schools will
report electronically to the Division of Driver Licensing.
The Division of Driver Licensing will suspend the student’s
privilege to drive and notify the driver of the suspension.
The schools will also report when a student is back in compliance
with KRS 159.051 to the Division of Driver Licensing. The
Division of Driver Licensing will reinstate the student’s
driving privilege.
