SF1361

The bill aims to update the laws concerning driver's licenses in Minnesota. It outlines specific types of identification that can be used to verify a driver's identity and date of birth when applying for a license. These include:

1. A compliant REAL ID driver’s license or identification card not marked as temporary, expired for no more than five years.
2. A valid U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate.
3. Various immigration-related documents, such as a permanent resident card or employment authorization document, that are unexpired or have been automatically extended.
4. Marriage certificates, court orders related to name changes, and certain other official documents.

Additionally, the bill specifies new criteria under which a driver’s license can be revoked, including convictions related to criminal vehicular actions, multiple traffic violations, and very high-speed violations (over 100 mph). The bill seeks to ensure these identification requirements and revocation rules are formally recognized and enforced, enhancing public safety and compliance with federal guidelines.
