Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A note has been added to the regulation stating that section 8.1 — which ties driving instructor and driving school licence fees to annual Ontario Consumer Price Index adjustments — will be revoked when a specific provision of the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 comes into force. In practical terms, the automatic CPI-based fee escalation mechanism will disappear from this regulation. Driving schools and driving instructors should be aware that the basis on which their licence fees are calculated will change, and they should watch for further guidance on what fee structure will replace the current indexed approach.
