A single platform on existing aid, more examiners and the use of the expanded training account: the National Assembly is examining a Renaissance bill on Monday to facilitate the approval of the driving license. It is about “making the permit cheaper, simpler and faster”, argues the author of the text, Sacha Houlié, president of the Law Commission of the Assembly, who wants to send “a message to the youth” with it. .
He points out that “the cost of acquiring a driving license now reaches 2,000 euros, or even more, with strong territorial disparities” and that the times for obtaining it have “lengthened”. A new digital platform, “1 young person, 1 permit”, must see the light of day, to identify all the aid, both from the State and from the communities.
Opening of financing by the CPF to all types of permits
The bill also foresees opening the financing through the personal training account (CPF) to all types of permits, while currently it only deals with B permits, heavy vehicles and buses. The CPF made it possible to finance 322,000 driving licenses in 2021, or 28% of the permits issued that year, two-thirds of the beneficiaries being people under 35 years of age. Sacha Houlié initially wanted to offer the possibility of transferring the rights of the CPF between parents and children, but he returned to the idea, due to the inequalities that he could create.
Finally, the authorization for public or contractual officials to carry out the practical test of the permit will be extended to the national level. It is not about “outsourcing”, says Sacha Houlié, in response to the concerns of the inspectors.
Some Renaissance elected officials advocate for possible furloughs starting at age 16
The bill has a general consensus among the deputies, although the left deplores the lack of ambition. Renaissance elected officials are advocating for a possible approval of the permit starting at age 16 and will request a report on it.
The week at the Palais Bourbon is dedicated to the proposals of parliamentarians. A text “against cross-channel social dumping” will be on the menu on Monday night, before Tuesday night or Wednesday a bill “against scams and excesses of influencers on social networks” . Carried out by the deputies Stéphane Vojetta (related to Renaissance) and Arthur Delaporte (PS), it has the support of the government. A controversial text on the protection of owners against squatters and non-payment of rents, defended by the presidential majority, will go to second reading this Wednesday.
