Sec. 3. Transition provisions. Notwithstanding the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 29-A, section 1304, subsection 1-A, prior to October 1, 2014, the Secretary of State may allow an individual affiliated with an approved driver education course to collect fees or application materials for a learner's permit. Notwithstanding Title 29-A, section 1304, subsection 1-A, prior to January 1, 2015, the Secretary of State may allow an individual affiliated with an approved driver education course to administer any required examination for a learner's permit.’

SUMMARY

This amendment replaces the bill and removes the emergency preamble and emergency clause. It creates a new learner's permit issuance subsection in statute that identifies the Secretary of State as the only entity allowed to collect learner's permit fees and application materials, administer an examination for a learner's permit and issue a learner's permit. The amendment contains transition language that allows the Secretary of State or an individual affiliated with an approved driver education course to collect fees and application materials until October 1, 2014 and to administer exams until January 1, 2015.
