Bill > HF4900

This bill authorizes the development and issuance of electronic driver's licenses (also known as "electronic credentials") in Minnesota. The key provisions include: 1. Definitions of important terms like "AAMVA" (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators), "electronic credential," and "relying party" (the entity verifying the electronic credential). 2. Authorizing the Department of Public Safety's Driver and Vehicle Services Division (DVS) to contract with entities to develop an electronic credential system that complies with AAMVA standards. 3. Allowing DVS to issue electronic credentials to individuals eligible for a physical driver's license, with data matching the credential holder's DVS record. 4. Permitting DVS to charge an additional fee for electronic credentials. 5. Requiring relying parties to authenticate electronic credentials using secure communication methods and only request necessary data elements. 6. Protecting the privacy of credential holders by limiting data retention and use without consent, and prohibiting tracking or compiling information without consent. 7. Specifying that credential holders must have a physical credential in their possession when operating a vehicle, but are not required to display or relinquish their device to a relying party for verification of the electronic credential.
