                         A BILL FOR AN ACT
       Concerning a procedure by which an applicant for a driver's

                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at
       http://www.leg.state.co.us/billsummaries.)
       
            The bill sets up a procedure whereby, after qualifying for a driver's
       license but failing the driving test, an applicant for a driver's license who
       is not a permanent lawful resident may use a private vendor to
       readminister the driving test. The applicant must successfully complete
       the driver's test within 60 days after the first attempt.
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, add 42-2-511 as
       follows:
            42-2-511.  Driving test - third-party option - definition. (1)  As
       used in this section, "driving test" means the demonstration of
       ordinary and reasonable care in the operation of a motor
       vehicle in accordance with section 42-2-111.
            (2)  To use the procedure set forth in subsection (3) of this
       section, an applicant for an identification document must fulfill
       the applicable requirements of this part 5 and part 1 of this
       article other than the driving test.
            (3)  If an applicant for an identification document under
       this part 5 fails the driving test, the applicant may retake the
       driving test from a vendor approved by the department to
       conduct the test. If the applicant passes the driving test within
       sixty days after failing the driving test, the applicant may
       reopen the application for a driver's license at any office
       authorized to issue identification documents to the applicant.
       To be issued the license under this part 5, the applicant must
       present evidence of passing the test.
            SECTION 2.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
