     On the printed bill, delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

"      Section  1.  That § 32-12-11 be amended to read as follows:

     32-12-11.   Any person who is at least fourteen years of age may apply to the Department of Commerce and Regulation for an instruction permit. The department may, after the applicant has successfully passed all parts of the examination other than the driving test and paid a fee which is equal in amount to the fee prescribed for a driver's license in §  32-12-16, issue to the applicant an instruction permit. The instruction permit entitles the applicant while having the permit in his immediate possession to drive a motor vehicle upon the public highways for a period of one hundred and eighty days if accompanied by a licensed operator who is at least eighteen years of age, has had at least one year of driving experience, and who is occupying a seat beside the driver unless the permittee is operating a motorcycle or a moped. A motorcycle instruction permit entitles the holder, while having the permit in his immediate physical possession, to operate a motorcycle during the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. if he is accompanied by a licensed motorcycle operator who is at least eighteen years of age, who has at least one year of driving experience and who is driving another motorcycle along with the permit holder. No motorcycle instruction permit holder may carry another person on the motorcycle. The permit is valid for thirty days. The permit may be issued only once in a one-year period.


     Any instruction permit issued pursuant to this section may be used without the restrictions as to time of operation and operation under the direction of a parent or guardian for the operation of a licensed motor vehicle to or from the home farm buildings to or from any adjacent or nearby farmland for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations.

     Section  2.  That § 32-12-12 be amended to read as follows:

     32-12-12.   A restricted minor's permit may be issued, upon application and payment of the proper fee as provided for in §  32-12-16, and passage of all driver's license examination tests, to any minor between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years. A restricted minor's permit entitles the holder, while having the permit in his immediate physical possession, to operate a motor vehicle during the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. standard time if the motor vehicle is being operated with the permission of the minor's parents or guardian and during the hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. if the motor vehicle is being operated under the direction of the minor's parent or guardian who is occupying a seat beside the driver. The restrictions as to time of operation and operation under the direction of a parent or guardian do not apply to the holder of a valid restricted minor's permit operating a self-propelled agricultural machine which is not subject to registration under chapter 32-5 , or operating a licensed motor vehicle to or from the home farm buildings to or from any adjacent or nearby farmland for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations .
