The Short Version
This bill allows 21-year-olds to get a temporary traditional driver's license up to 30 days before their birthday (with physical delivery after) and restructures fleet vehicle registration fee schedules based on owner birthdate anniversaries. The first provision creates a smoother transition for young drivers; the second changes how fleet registration fees are calculated and prorated.
