Bill > HF2118

This bill modifies requirements for noncompliant driver's licenses and identification cards in Minnesota, introducing several key changes. First, it requires all driver's license and identification card applications to include a statement that only citizens may serve on a jury. The bill mandates that the commissioner of public safety establish a process to verify the authenticity and security of documents from foreign jurisdictions when issuing noncompliant licenses. The commissioner must also collect specific data about these documents, such as country of origin and document type, while ensuring no personally identifiable information is retained. The bill further clarifies and restricts how immigration status data can be shared, limiting dissemination to specific government entities and only under certain circumstances, such as for voter registration, jury selection, or with valid court orders. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to submit a detailed report by December 15, 2025, to legislative committees, providing information about the document certification process, accepted foreign jurisdiction documents, and an analysis of how certain legal determinations are made in the licensing process. The overall aim appears to be enhancing transparency and security in the issuance of noncompliant driver's licenses while protecting applicants' privacy.
