Committee weighs letting 17-year-olds drive pickups for summer work
Summary
Ashland County executives discussed revising the vehicle-use policy to allow limited driving by 17‑year‑old summer employees (pickups/mowers only), while excluding CDL-required vehicles; staff were asked to research license and insurance constraints.
The executive committee reviewed a vehicle-use policy originally drafted in 2019 after a department asked to hire a 17‑year‑old summer worker. Members said minors could operate only limited vehicles — pick‑up trucks and some mowers — and that any vehicle requiring a commercial driver’s license would remain off‑limits.
"This policy originally was drafted in 2019," a committee member said while explaining the background for the proposed update. Members emphasized the need to confirm state licensing rules for probationary licenses and passenger restrictions before any change; the committee asked staff to return with specific recommendations on license types and experience minimums.
