 1        AN ACT relating to education.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.   The  School  Code  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 27-24.3 as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/27-24.3) (from Ch. 122, par. 27-24.3)
 7        Sec.  27-24.3.   Reimbursement.  In  order for the school
 8    district  to  receive  reimbursement  from   the   State   as
 9    hereinafter  provided, the driver education course offered in
10    its schools shall consist of  at  least  30  clock  hours  of
11    classroom   instruction   and,  subject  to  modification  as
12    hereinafter allowed, at  least  6  clock  hours  of  practice
13    driving  in a car having dual operating controls under direct
14    individual instruction. The State Board may allow, in lieu of
15    not more than 5 clock hours of practice  driving  in  a  dual
16    control   car,   such  practice  driving  instruction  as  it
17    determines is the equivalent of such practice  driving  in  a
18    dual control car.
19        School districts may adopt a policy to permit proficiency
20    examinations  for  the  practice  driving  part of the driver
21    education course at any time after the completion of 3  hours
22    of practice driving under direct individual instruction.
