Gov. Blagojevich Signed Law On Saturday
(AP) SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Illinois students who want to drive may not skip school.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed a law today that requires minors to maintain school attendance to keep their drivers license or learners permit.
The Secretary of State can refuse to issue or renew a license or learners permit to a minor who has been certified as a chronic truant. A chronic truant is absent without valid cause for ten percent or more of the previous 180 school days.
The law allows exemptions for those whose failure to attend is due to economic reasons, medical necessity or family hardships. Minors who are married, legally emancipated, already graduated, or are working on their GED are also exempt.
Those of us who 'behave' enjoy the privilege of not being prosecuted for our crimes.
