Bill > SF2161

This bill modifies Minnesota state law regarding driver's licenses and identification cards to allow individuals who have experienced hair loss due to accidents, serious illnesses, or medical treatments to wear medically required head coverings in their official photographs. Specifically, the bill updates existing language to clarify that the state commissioner must permit applicants to wear hats, medically required coverings, or similar head wear in their license or ID card photographs without requiring removal of the covering. The key requirement is that the head covering must be of an appropriate size and type that still allows for clear identification of the individual, ensuring that the person's face is not obscured. This change provides more flexibility and dignity for individuals who may be experiencing medical conditions that necessitate head coverage, while still maintaining the essential purpose of identification documents.
