Bill > SF5058

This bill expands the existing same-day driver's license issuance pilot project in Minnesota. The key provisions include: 1. Expanding the pilot project to 10 additional locations across the state, including cities like Blaine, Brainerd, and Rochester. The Department of Public Safety will select the specific locations in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rochester. 2. Requiring that applicants who submit a completed application for a non-compliant driver's license, instruction permit, or ID card receive the document on-site, without the need for a temporary paper version. 3. Specifying that the same-day issued documents must be substantially similar in design, security features, and materials to centrally issued non-compliant licenses and IDs. 4. Mandating the commissioner to establish public awareness campaigns and administrative processes to support the expanded pilot project. 5. Requiring a report by January 1, 2026, on the pilot project's implementation, security comparisons, and recommendations for statewide same-day issuance. The bill also appropriates funding for equipment, vendor agreements, and staffing to support the expansion of the same-day issuance pilot project.
