One of the Nebraska legislature’s new faces, Senator Bob Giese of South Sioux City has filed a few bills already in the session, including one that pertains to learner’s permits for driver’s licenses. Giese says his bill would put a new restriction on those permits.
Under the bill, he says anyone over 18 could only be issued a learner’s permit one time and then they have a year to get their full license. He says some people get the permit and aren’t comfortable taking the test after a year and then just get another permit.
Giese says the bill would apply to only those older Nebraskans who are learning to drive. He says a year is plenty of time to learn how to drive and this proposed law only applies to people over 18 — those who are younger would not be targeted.
While new to state government, Giese was previously Mayor in South Sioux. Lawmakers return to Lincoln tomorrow.
