BY BOB MERCERState Capitol Bureau

PIERRE — Learner permits for newdrivers would become valid for fiveyears in South Dakota under a proposalspeeding through the Legislature.

Officially known as an instructorpermit, a first-time driver must haveone for at least 180 days.

The 180 days can be reduced to 90days if the person successfully com-pleted a driver education course.

The driver has 30 days after the 180-day period to apply for the next step ofan operator’s permit or a restrictedminor’s permit.

If the driver doesn’t advance to thenext level of permit within the 210-daywindow, the instructor permit currentlyexpires and the person must apply foranother instructor permit.

Sen. Craig Tieszen, R-Rapid City,wants to make the instructor permit

valid for five years.Tieszen is a retired Rapid City police

chief. He said a constituent inquiredwhy the instructor permit couldn’t lastlonger.

He said the state Department of Pub-lic Safety didn’t object to expanding itto five years.

Tieszen said he considered making itlast indefinitely but the federal Depart-ment of Homeland Security wants per-mits to expire at some point.

People can apply for the instructorpermit in South Dakota as soon as theyturn 14 years old.

Receiving an instructor permit al-lows a person to drive on public high-ways between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. ifaccompanied in the front seat by anadult with an operator’s permit and atleast one year of driving experience.

The House Transportation Commit-tee voted 13-0 Tuesday to endorse thechange to five years.

The legislation, SB 107, now is onestep away from final passage by theHouse of Representatives. The Senategave unanimous approval Feb. 9.

Rep. Mike Verchio said a grand-daughter is using her instructor permitand she could benefit from more thanthe 210-day minimum.

“It does happen. We’re better off tohave safe drivers on the road than kidswho are intimidated,” said Verchio, R-Hill City.

He is the lead House sponsor of themeasure and the committee chairman.

Tieszen was the only person to tes-tify on the bill Tuesday.

The committee placed the measureon the consent calendar for actiontoday (Wednesday) by the full House.

That means the bill should automati-cally pass, unless a representative asksthat it be transferred to the debatecalendar.
