Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act (TAADRA)

Georgia’s Teen-age and Adult Driver Responsibility Act (TAADRA) of 1997, requires that local school systems certify that a student’s attendance pattern and discipline record permits him or her to have a Georgia learner’s permit or driver’s license. This document contains the administrative policies and procedures for the local school districts to reference in determining the circumstances for which a student should be reported as non-compliant and other policies and procedures that fall within the TAADRA law. With the creation of the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000, the passage of House Bill 1190 in 2004, and the passage of Senate Bill 35 in 2005, the Department of Education (DOE) was cited with the responsibility of collecting the non-compliance student data from the local school districts. DOE has worked with the Department of Driver Services (DDS), formerly the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety (DMVS), to provide a Web application as the means for local school districts to report non-compliant student data.
