This legislation extends the sunset for the driver's education fine add-on until June 30, 2016; however, it reduces the fine add-on from 5 percent to 1.5 percent. Furthermore, it requires that the Georgia Driver's Education Commission issue an annual report to the General Assembly listing how much in fines were raised each year (around $10 million of recent) and whether or not that money has been used for driver's education... or merely dumped into the state's general fund to be used for other purposes. Note that of the $80 million raised since 2005, only $7 million has gone toward driver's education.
