Starting July 1, all Florida permit and license applicants—both teenagers and adults—must complete a state-approved driver education course in addition to the current testing requirements, with exemptions for those holding prior out-of-state licenses or who have already finished the course.

The association warned that the added cost could deepen the financial strain on local families.
