This Act adds clarity to the statutory changes made by Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 151 of the 151st General Assembly related to drivers licenses for foster children. This Act clarifies that during the initial 6 months of a Learners Permit, a foster parent is liable for the negligent driving of the foster child up to the limits of the foster parent's applicable insurance coverage. This Substitute differs from the original bill in that it clarifies the language that refers to the insurance coverage and clarifies such language in both the new subsection and in the existing Code.

An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Driver's Licenses.
