(i) A learner's license shall be issued for no more than a two-year period and shall expire upon the driver's reaching sixteen (16) years of age.

(C) An intermediate driver's license shall be issued for no more than a two-year period and shall expire upon the driver's reaching eighteen (18) years of age and may be renewed at that time as a regular driver's license for eight (8) years, so long as the intermediate driver has been free of a serious accident and conviction of a serious traffic violation for at least twelve (12) months before arriving at his or her eighteenth birthday.

(2)

(A) The director may by rule shorten or lengthen the term of any driver's license period, as necessary, to ensure that approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the total valid licenses are renewable each fiscal year.
