More Kentuckians can now apply for a learner's permit

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear signed House Bill 15, allowing 15-year-olds to apply for a driver's permit, which goes into effect immediately.
The law requires 15-year-olds to complete 60 hours of practice driving, including 10 hours at night, before obtaining an intermediate license.
Beshear stated that the bill will assist families in managing daily activities, saying, "I signed this bill knowing it will help working families better juggle all of life's activities."
Along with House Bill 15, Beshear signed 17 other bills into law aimed at increasing protections for children and victims of domestic violence.
