Bill links driver's license to school attendance

A Wyoming lawmaker is proposing that students who drop out of school before age 18 be barred from getting a driver's license. The Star-Tribune reports that Republican state Sen. Hank Coe of Cody has drafted a bill with the new requirement. Twenty other states and the District of Columbia have set 18 as the minimum age for dropping out. About 1,000 Wyoming students dropped out of school in 2008-09.
