Montana SB462 revises laws relating to driver licensing by lowering the minimum age for a driver's license from 16 to 15 years, provided the applicant has completed an approved driver's education course. It also mandates that the Department of Motor Vehicles schedule driver's examinations in every county at least once a month if requested by the county. The bill further outlines specific conditions under which the department may not issue a license, such as lack of lawful presence in the United States or a history of mental disability. The act is effective July 1, 2025.
