This amendment is the majority report of the committee.

The bill increases the period of restrictions for an intermediate license holder from 180 days to either 270 days from license issuance or until the person attains 18 years of age, whichever occurs later. The amendment limits the period of restrictions to 270 days but allows that period to extend beyond the person's 18th birthday.

This amendment changes the fine imposed on an intermediate license holder for a violation of the restrictions for intermediate license holders from a minimum of $350 as proposed in the bill to not less than $250 and not more than $500.

The bill provides that, before a suspension issued to the holder of an intermediate license is terminated and a license reinstated, a fee of $100, in addition to the regular license fee, must be paid to the Secretary of State.
