Montana teens could qualify for driver's licenses at age 15

Montana's motor vehicle division would use 15 as the usual minimum age for a driver's license. These age rules would apply to people seeking Montana driver's licenses. A person at least 14½ could qualify after passing a driver education course approved by the motor vehicle division and the superintendent of public instruction. A person at least 13 could qualify for a restricted license if the motor vehicle division determines that individual hardship makes it necessary. Applicants would still have to meet the other licensing requirements. The proposal specified July 1, 2025, as its effective date, but it died without becoming law.
