Bill > SF5212

This bill authorizes the development of an electronic driver's license system in Minnesota. The key provisions include: 1. Definitions of terms like "electronic credential," "physical credential," and "relying party" (an entity to which the credential holder is presenting an electronic credential). 2. Allowing the Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Division (DVS) to contract with entities to develop an electronic credential system that complies with American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) standards. 3. DVS must adopt rules governing the management and operation of the electronic credential system and the issuance of electronic credentials. 4. DVS may issue an electronic credential only to individuals eligible for a physical credential, and the data elements must match the individual's current DVS record. 5. Relying parties must authenticate the electronic credential and only request necessary data elements, and electronic credential data is subject to data privacy laws. 6. The electronic credential system must be designed to maximize the credential holder's privacy and not track or compile information without consent. 7. Credential holders must have a physical credential in possession when operating a motor vehicle, but they are not required to display or relinquish the device containing the electronic credential to a relying party.
