19  year  olds  than  among any other age group; and (c) the presence of

The  legislature  therefore finds and declares that a teen driver safety

  2. The commission shall, within twenty days following the  appointment
of all its members, elect a chairperson from among such members.
  3.  The  commission  shall study, examine and review the issue of teen
