AZ SB1600

Establishes a new "junior driver license" for applicants at least 14 years old but under 18 years old, available if school or transportation facilities are inadequate for school attendance or employment travel.

Restricts junior driver license holders to operating motor vehicles only for employment, between residence and school/school activities, or between employment and residence/school.

Requires applicants to submit a signed parental statement explaining the necessity of the license and allows the department to deny applications if adequate public transportation exists within one mile of the applicant's residence.

Mandates the junior driver license expire on the licensee's 18th birthday or when issued a graduated driver license, and requires completion of a department-approved driver education program or driving practice hours within six months of issuance to maintain the license.

Sets the fee for a junior driver license to be determined by the department director and adds junior driver licenses to Arizona's fee schedule in section 28-3002.
