AN ACT
To amend chapters 170 and 488, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to driver's education instruction.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapters 170 and 488, RSMo, are amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be known as sections 170.315 and 488.033, to read as follows:
170.315. 1. Every school district shall make a driver's education course available to students of the age of fifteen or older. School districts may apply to the department of elementary and secondary education for allocation of moneys from the driver's education fund established in subsection 2 of this section. The department of elementary and secondary education shall decide how such funds will be allocated, provided that school districts with lower quotients resulting from the division of the assessed valuation of each school district by the weighted average daily attendance of the most recently completed school year for which data is available in such school district shall be allocated more moneys from the fund than school districts with higher quotients.
2. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "Driver's Education Fund", which shall consist of money collected under section 488.033, RSMo. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and may approve disbursements from the fund in accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180, RSMo. Upon appropriation, money in the fund shall be used solely for the administration of this section. Notwithstanding the provision of section 33.080, RSMo, to the contrary, any moneys remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the credit of the general revenue fund. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in the same manner as other funds are invested. Any interest and moneys earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.
488.033. A surcharge of fifteen dollars for each motor vehicle moving violation, as defined in section 302.010, RSMo, shall be assessed and collected. The surcharge collected under this section shall be credited to the driver's education fund established in section 170.315, RSMo.
