summary

This amendment modifies the exception in the bill allowing a young driver to carry a passenger who is a person under guardianship of an immediate family member to specify that the guardianship is court-appointed. This amendment also adds details to the provision allowing a young driver to carry a child whose parent is deployed for military service, specifying that the child must be under guardianship of an immediate family member as provided on an Armed Forces Family Care Plan form. The amendment defines "deployed for military service" to mean assigned to active military duty with the state military forces, as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 37-B, section 102, or the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, whether pursuant to orders of the Governor or the President of the United States, when the duty assignment is in a combat theater, in an area where armed conflict is taking place or in an area away from a person's normal duty station.
