Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to driver and vehicle services; providing public safety commissioner debt collection authority; authorizing in-person pickup of physical items delivered following Driver and Vehicle Services online transactions; modifying deputy registrar fee retention procedures; appropriating money to reimburse deputy registrars and driver's license agents for no-fee transactions; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 168.0135, subdivision 3; 168.33, by adding a subdivision; Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, sections 168.33, subdivision 7a; 171.061, subdivision 4a; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 168.

AI Summary

This bill grants the Public Safety Commissioner new authority to collect debts owed for driver and vehicle services fees, allowing them to contract with debt collectors and use collected funds to pay for those services, while clarifying that deputy registrars and driver's license agents are not responsible for this debt collection. Additionally, it authorizes deputy registrars to offer customers the option to pick up physical items, such as license plates or registration stickers, in person after completing online transactions, and allows them to charge a handling fee for this service. The bill also modifies how deputy registrars are reimbursed for certain no-fee transactions, ensuring that the necessary funds are annually appropriated from the driver and vehicle services operating account to cover these payments, rather than prorating them if funds are insufficient.
