Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 1, July 1, 2024
RELATES TO: KRS 332.204
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 332.216 requires the
				department to promulgate administrative regulations to carry out the provisions
				of KRS Chapter 332. KRS 15A.160 authorizes the secretary of the cabinet to
				adopt administrative regulations to administer the cabinet. KRS 332.202 and
				332.204 require the department to establish a licensure process for driver
				training schools for instruction of persons in the operation of motor vehicles
				that are not commercial motor vehicles. This administrative regulation
				establishes the licensure process and standards for driver training
				schools.
Section 1. Driver Training
			 School Standards.
(1) The driver training
			 school shall have and maintain an established place of business in the
			 Commonwealth of Kentucky.
(2) The
			 established place of business of each driver training school shall be owned or
			 leased by the driver training school and regularly occupied and primarily used
			 by that driver training school for the business of:
(a) Giving driving instructions for hire;
			 and
(b) Preparing members of the
			 public for examination given by the department for a motor vehicle operator's
			 license.
(3) The
			 established place of business of each driver training school shall be located
			 in a district zoned for business or commercial purposes. The driver training
			 school office shall have a permanent sign displaying the school name in letters
			 at least six (6) inches in height and visible from the street or road on which
			 the school is located. If the classroom is at a different address, the
			 classroom shall have a permanent sign meeting the same criteria. The hours
			 during which the driver training is conducted shall also be displayed. If these
			 requirements do not comply with local zoning laws, the department shall permit
			 a sign of a type that does comply.
(4) The established place of business or
			 advertised address of any driver training school shall not consist of or
			 include a house trailer, residence, tent, temporary address, office space only,
			 a room or rooms in a hotel, rooming house or apartment house, or premises
			 occupied by a single or multiple unit dwelling house. This requirement shall
			 not apply to a driver training school that was already established and
			 operational on or before June 16, 1966.
(5) The place of business shall be operated
			 by responsible personnel during stated office hours and shall be open to
			 inspection of the premises, facilities, records and vehicles by any authorized
			 representative of the cabinet during this time.
(6) The place of business shall have a
			 business telephone used exclusively for the operation of the driving
			 school.
(7) A driver training
			 school shall employ at least one (1) driver training instructor licensed
			 pursuant to KRS 332.204 and  502 KAR 10:030.
(8) A driver training school shall have at
			 least one (1) motor vehicle registered in the name of the school pursuant to
			  502 KAR 10:070.
(9) A driver
			 training school shall not transfer its license nor change its place of business
			 without the prior approval of the department. A transfer of ownership shall be
			 treated as an initial application for a driver training school
			 license.
