Young motorcycle learners need written parental permission
Colorado cannot issue motorcycle instruction permits to applicants under 18 without written permission from a parent or legal guardian. Emancipated minors are exempt, and the rule does not cover other vehicle types. The consent subsection names April 1, 2026, but application coverage depends on the act’s separate effective date. The act covers applications submitted on or after that effective date. It takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after the 90-day period following final adjournment of the 2026 session. August 12, 2026, is the stated likely date without a referendum. Provisions challenged by referendum take effect after voter approval, on the date of the governor’s declaration of the vote.
