Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 10.

In order for a driver education course to be eligible for attendance in satisfaction of a court order to attend such a course, the course must be approved by the department of safety and operated and conducted by: (1) A local government entity; (2) A tax-exempt charitable organization; or (3) A private entity that meets certain requirements for private entities providing misdemeanor probation supervision services, such as providing quarterly reports to court clerks, making application to trial court judges, recordkeeping, and other requirements. Some of the requirements for private entities providing misdemeanor probation supervision services do not apply in certain counties. This bill replaces the present law requirement that a private entity providing a driver education course comply with certain requirements for private entities providing misdemeanor probation supervision services. Under this bill, a private entity providing a driver education course must: (1) Be licensed by the secretary of state to conduct business in this state, if required of the entity by state law; (2) Register with the department of revenue for all applicable taxes; and (3) Conduct at least two courses per calendar year, whether in person or online. This bill makes corresponding changes to the requirements for private entities that provide a community education course that includes education on the dangers of leaving young children unattended in motor vehicles.
