Bill > SF1880

This bill requires the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) to establish and maintain road skills examination stations in cities with populations over 70,000, specifically naming Blaine, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Lakeville, Maple Grove, and Woodbury. The bill mandates that these examination stations be operational starting August 1, 2025, regardless of existing examination locations. An appropriation will be made from the driver and vehicle services operating account to support the development and establishment of these new road skills examination stations. The funds will be used for researching and purchasing suitable locations for road skills examinations in the specified cities, as well as covering the operating costs of these new testing facilities. A Class D driver's license is a standard driver's license for non-commercial vehicles, and this bill aims to improve accessibility to road skills examinations by ensuring that larger cities have dedicated testing locations. The effective date of August 1, 2025, provides time for the Department of Public Safety to plan and implement these new examination stations.
