HB 170 Engrossed 2015 Regular Session Hollis
Abstract: Decreases the required surety bond for private driving schools.
Present law requires a surety bond of $40,000 for each private driving school. Requires the bond
to name the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections, office of motor vehicles, as the obligee and
authorizes recovery of driving school fees by claims filed through the department against the bond.
Provides that if a driving school has multiple locations, only one bond is required.
Proposed law decreases the bond to $20,000.
