Bill > HF2605

This bill modifies how fees are collected and distributed for driver and vehicle services in Minnesota, focusing on creating a new full-service provider account and adjusting fee allocations. The legislation establishes a new full-service provider account in the special revenue fund, which will receive portions of existing filing fees from vehicle registration renewals and other vehicle transactions. For mail or online transactions, the bill redistributes fee allocations, with some money going to the driver and vehicle services operating account, technology account, and the new full-service provider account. A new $5 surcharge is added to mail-based vehicle registration renewals, with half going to the driver and vehicle services operating account and half to the full-service provider account. For driver's license filing fees, the bill mandates that revenue from mail or online transactions will be split equally between the operating account and the full-service provider account. The full-service provider account will be used to distribute funds quarterly to full-service providers (such as licensed deputy registrars) based proportionally on their total number of transactions. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2025, with the first quarterly distribution scheduled for on or before January 15, 2026.
