Bill > HF795

This bill modifies regulations for driver's license road skills examinations and associated fees in Minnesota. The first section requires the commissioner of motor vehicles to provide more advanced online booking options for road skills exams, mandating that at least 50% of projected appointments be available to book three months in advance, 75% two months in advance, and 100% one month in advance. The bill also requires the department's website to display real-time information about exam availability, including next available dates and times for each exam station. The second section changes the fee structure for road skills examinations: individuals who fail to appear for a scheduled test will now be charged a $50 fee (increased from $20) if they cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment, while a $20 fee will be charged for cancellations between 24 and 72 hours before the appointment. These changes are designed to improve accessibility and transparency of driver's license testing, while also implementing more stringent cancellation policies. Both sections will become effective on August 1, 2025, and apply to examinations on or after that date.
