Teen driving bill still underway in House committee

Sen. Mitch

Seabaugh, R-Newnan, who is on the Senate's Public Safety Committee, said

Tuesday that the House is trying to write one comprehensive bill that

likely won't include all the ideas brought forth during the debate on

the issue.

For instance,

Seabaugh said he thinks raising the driving age to 17 in metro Atlanta

counties won't make it into the final bill.

Also, the curfew

rule will likely be refined from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. or midnight, with

elimination of any restrictions on that curfew, Seabaugh said. That would

make it easier to enforce, he added.

The House Motor

Vehicles Committee should be finished with the bill at the end of this

week, Seabaugh estimated.
