BY BOB MERCER State Capitol Bureau PIERRE — Learner permits for new drivers would become valid for five years in South Dakota under a proposal speeding through the Legislature. Officially known as an instructor permit, a first-time driver must have one for at least 180 days. The 180 days can be reduced to 90 days 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 of an operator’s permit or a restricted minor’s permit. If the driver doesn’t advance to the next level of permit within the 210-day window, the instructor permit currently expires and the person must apply for another 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 inquired why the instructor permit couldn’t last longer. He said the state Department of Pub- lic Safety didn’t object to expanding it to five years. Tieszen said he considered making it last indefinitely but the federal Depart- ment of Homeland Security wants per- mits to expire at some point. People can apply for the instructor permit in South Dakota as soon as they turn 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. if accompanied in the front seat by an adult with an operator’s permit and at least one year of driving experience. The House Transportation Commit- tee voted 13-0 Tuesday to endorse the change to five years. The legislation, SB 107, now is one step away from final passage by the House of Representatives. The Senate gave unanimous approval Feb. 9. Rep. Mike Verchio said a grand- daughter is using her instructor permit and she could benefit from more than the 210-day minimum. “It does happen. We’re better off to have safe drivers on the road than kids who are intimidated,” said Verchio, R- Hill City. He is the lead House sponsor of the measure and the committee chairman. Tieszen was the only person to tes- tify on the bill Tuesday. The committee placed the measure on the consent calendar for action today (Wednesday) by the full House. That means the bill should automati- cally pass, unless a representative asks that it be transferred to the debate calendar.
