This bill revises the rules for South Dakota teenagers seeking driving permits and licenses by clarifying when the state can waive the knowledge test for permit holders upgrading to a full license. Specifically, teens who hold a valid instruction permit for at least 180 days can skip the knowledge test when applying for an operator's license or restricted permit, but must retake the test if they apply more than 30 days after their permit expires.
