Will a caregiver, case manager or an authorized representative of a residential group home signs the youth’s application for a learner’s permit assume any obligation or be liable for any damages?

No. Although DMV personnel at your local office may say that the adult co-signer assumes responsibility for the negligence of the youth, Florida Statutes 322.094(4) exempts foster parents/caregivers of a minor, an authorized representative of a residential group home at which the minor resides or the caseworker at the agency from assuming any obligation or liability for any damages by signing the application.
