Senate Bill 858 amends the Education Code to authorize a driver education school to teach all or part of the classroom portion of an approved driver education course by an alternative method of instruction that does not require students to be present in a classroom if the alternative method includes testing and security measures that the commissioner of education determines are at least as secure as the measures available in the usual classroom setting, if the course, with the use of the alternative method, satisfies any other requirement applicable to a course in which the classroom portion is taught to students in the usual classroom setting, and if the commissioner approves the alternative method. The commissioner may establish a fee for an application for approval to offer a driver education course by an alternative method of instruction.
