Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Each secondary
			 school conducting a driver education program for students between sixteen (16)
			 and eighteen (18) years of age shall submit to the commissioner its driver
			 education program curriculum for approval. Such curriculum shall include class
			 schedule, the name(s) of instructor(s), and the amount of the fees, if any,
			 charged to students enrolled in such program, as well as any other information
			 concerning the conduct and scope of such driver education program as may be
			 requested by the commissioner. The commissioner shall review the curriculum and
			 shall notify the secondary school of any elements of the curriculum which are
			 inconsistent with the licensing requirements of section
			 14-36
			 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The secondary school shall revise its
			 curriculum in accordance with such licensing requirements. Where a secondary
			 school contracts with a licensed commercial driving school to provide either
			 classroom or behind-the-wheel instruction, or both, such instruction shall be
			 included as part of the commercial driving school curriculum, and shall be
			 submitted to the commissioner as provided in subsection (g) of section
			 14-78-22
			 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. A secondary school providing
			 driver education instruction shall meet the requirements of subsection (a) of
			 section 14-36f-2 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(b) Any local or regional board of education
			 or secondary school, may enter into an agreement with a commercial driving
			 school licensed by the commissioner in accordance with section
			 14-69
			 of the Connecticut General Statutes, to provide either classroom or
			 behind-the-wheel instruction, or both. Any such driver education instruction
			 may be given only by a licensed commercial driving instructor. An agreement
			 with a commercial driving school shall not relieve the secondary school from
			 meeting driver training safety standards. The secondary school shall inform the
			 commissioner in writing, if any part of its driver training program is
			 conducted by a commercial driving school.
(c) The commissioner may review the conduct
			 and scope of a secondary school driver education program at any time the
			 secondary school is in session, or at anytime instruction is being
			 provided.
(d) A secondary school
			 shall not substantially deviate from the approved curriculum unless it has the
			 prior approval of the commissioner.
(e) A secondary school shall notify the
			 commissioner within five (5) business days and in writing of any change in the
			 location of the school, or a permanent change in the classroom in which
			 training is provided.
(f) A
			 secondary school shall inform the commissioner, in writing, of the location of
			 the records maintained with respect to a driver education program, if such
			 records are not maintained at the main office of the secondary
			 school.
(g) No secondary school
			 shall offer a driver education program for profit, or engage in the business of
			 providing driver education.
(h) No
			 secondary school shall conduct a driver education program unless the
			 commissioner has approved its curriculum and the conduct of the program. At any
			 time, the commissioner may require the review and approval of a curriculum used
			 by a secondary school.
