Amends the Driver Education Act of the School Code. Provides that driver education course instruction shall demonstrate the proper actions to be taken during a law enforcement traffic stop by drivers and passengers (instead of just the proper actions to be taken during a law enforcement traffic stop). Provides that, beginning with the 2027-2028 school year, the traffic stop instruction shall include the constitutional rights of drivers and passengers during a traffic stop, including, but not limited to, the right to remain silent, the right to refuse consent to a vehicle search unless law enforcement has lawful cause, the right to respectfully ask if one is free to leave, and the right to refuse to answer questions regarding immigration status, citizenship, or national origin, which instruction may be offered in a culturally responsive manner that reflects and affirms the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs of students in order to enhance understanding and support safe, informed interactions during traffic stops.
