DES MOINES (AP) - A bill that would allow parents to teach driver's education to their own home-schooled children passed the House on Tuesday.

Parents would be required to have a valid driver's license and have a clean driving record for at least two years.

Parents would be required to provide the Department of Transportation with proof that the student has completed a minimum number of classroom hours and street driving experience.

Rep. Mary Mascher, D-Iowa City, said she opposed the bill for safety reasons, saying home-school parents may not be qualified to teach driving.

"Being a good driver does not automatically make you a good teacher," Mascher said.

She also said the bill will invite lawsuits because it establishes a two-tiered system in which parents of home-schooled students could teach their own children to drive, but parents of public and private school students could not.

"That is separate but not equal. The system is inherently wrong," Mascher said. "You should not set this up in this state. We are waiting for another lawsuit if you do."

The bill passed 67-32 and next goes to the Senate for consideration.
