-
§ 736. Implementation
After a date to be established by the Commissioner in rules, any applicant for a permit
or an operator’s license valid for operating a motorcycle, except a renewal applicant
or an applicant who surrenders a valid motorcycle license issued by another state,
shall successfully complete the rider training course established under this subchapter
before taking the on-motorcycle portion of the license examination or, in his or her
discretion, the Commissioner may require any applicant to successfully complete an
approved classroom training curriculum before a motorcycle learner’s permit or motorcycle
endorsement may be issued. The Department shall also exempt applicants who have successfully
completed equivalent training courses in other states or provinces. The Commissioner
shall not implement the rider training course until the Commissioner determines that
the program can be operated effectively, and that there are adequate training vehicles,
instructors, curriculum materials, training sites, and program funding to provide
the training throughout the State to all those individuals who desire or would be
required to complete the course. (Added 1989, No. 268 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. June 21, 1990; amended 1997, No. 9, § 4, eff. May 6, 1997; 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 160.)
