Senate panel revives teen driving limit proposal in Kansas
A Senate Transportation Committee revived measures to restrict teen drivers by adopting a graduated licensing framework into a House bill. The plan raises learner permit age to 15, requires 50 supervised hours, and enforces night and passenger limits, with a path to an unrestricted license after six months of compliant driving. Proponents cite life savings. House backers worry about time and support.
