Bill > SF314

This bill prohibits municipal identification cards (municipal IDs) from being used as valid proof of identification for accessing state or federal services in Minnesota. The bill defines a municipal ID as a photographic identification card issued by a city to its residents, which must include the person's name, date of birth, and residential address. To be considered a resident and eligible for a municipal ID, a person must have lived within the city's boundaries for at least 30 continuous days and provide documentation proving their identity and residency. Specifically, the legislation prevents municipal IDs from being accepted as valid identification for receiving any services provided by the state or through federal programs administered by the state or its political subdivisions. The bill would take effect immediately after being signed into law, effectively creating a barrier for individuals, potentially immigrants or others with limited documentation, who might rely on municipal IDs to access government services.
