====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Montana -- Driver's License Bill Tabled Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: I am pleased to report to you that Montana House bill 215, the bill prohibiting anyone under 18 years old from obtaining or keeping a driver's license unless the person was enrolled in school or had received a high school diploma or GED, was tabled by the House Education Committee on February 4, 2011. While this bill is not dead, it is unlikely that it will receive further attention during this legislative session. We will continue to track its status. The current compulsory attendance age in Montana is from 7 to 16 or completion of the eighth grade, whichever is later. House Bill 215 is a driver's license bill which attempts to meddle with the education law of the state. It is nothing more than a back-door effort to increase the compulsory school attendance age. Many thanks to all of you who contacted members of the House Education Committee and expressed your opposition to this bill. We especially appreciate all of the effective lobbying work of the Montana Coalition of Home Educators. To view the text of this bill, please go to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=10167. Very truly yours, Dewitt T. Black, III HSLDA Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Have you ever yelled into the wind, only to hear the sound of your voice blown back at you? It's hard to be heard in the midst of a storm. Trying to influence federal legislation is much like yelling to be heard while standing in a fierce wind. Yet when 80,000 voices join together, they become a powerful force that cannot be drowned out. Join HSLDA to be heard above the tempests that threaten homeschool freedoms.
