Bill > SF1361

This bill modifies Minnesota's driver's license regulations by updating the acceptable forms of identification for obtaining a driver's license and changing driver's license revocation requirements. Specifically, the bill eliminates some previous methods of proving name change (such as marriage certificates or divorce decrees) from the identity verification section and creates a new separate subdivision specifically for documenting name changes, which allows the same types of documents to be used for that purpose. The bill also expands and clarifies the grounds for driver's license revocation, including specific updates to how certain criminal offenses like manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and driving-related felonies trigger automatic license revocation. The changes include adding precise statutory references for offenses like manslaughter (sections 609.20 and 609.205), clarifying language around criminal vehicular homicide, and adding new specific scenarios that can result in license revocation, such as driving over 100 miles per hour. These modifications aim to provide more precise legal language and potentially enhance public safety by creating clearer standards for driver's license administration and revocation.
