Bill > HF2503

This bill modifies Minnesota's laws regarding driver's license suspensions for criminal vehicular operation and homicide offenses. The bill streamlines the process by which a driver's license can be suspended when a peace officer determines probable cause exists for certain vehicle-related criminal offenses. Specifically, the changes remove specific clause references in sections related to criminal vehicular operation and modify the circumstances under which a license can be suspended or revoked. The bill simplifies the language around license suspension requirements for offenses involving serious vehicle-related crimes, making the suspension process more straightforward. Under the new provisions, if a person's driver's license is suspended due to probable cause and they are later convicted of the underlying offense, the time already spent under suspension may be credited toward the revocation period. These changes will take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to certifications and determinations made on or after that date, giving law enforcement and the Department of Public Safety time to prepare for the new procedures.
