A. Any legal custodial parent or legal guardian may prohibit the licensing of or cause the cancellation of a license previously issued to his or her unemancipated child by filing an objection with the Department of Public Safety on a form prescribed by the Department. The Department shall refuse to issue or shall cancel a license when an objection has been properly filed by a legal custodial parent or legal guardian. A license may not be issued and a previous license shall remain canceled until the objection is withdrawn by the legal custodial parent or legal guardian or until the child attains eighteen (18) years of age. A license canceled because a legal custodial parent or legal guardian has filed an objection may be reinstated only after a period of three (3) months. No fee shall be assessed by the Department for reinstatement of a license pursuant to the provisions of this act.

B. No legal custodial parent or legal guardian shall be found liable for negligent entrustment of an unemancipated child for failure to file an objection pursuant to the provisions of this section.
