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 the authority to collect debts owed for driver and vehicle services, allowing them to contract with debt collectors and use collected funds to pay for those services, while relieving deputy registrars and driver's license agents of this responsibility. It also allows customers who complete certain motor vehicle transactions online, such as renewing registration or requesting duplicate plates, to pick up the physical items in person at a deputy registrar's office, and permits deputy registrars to charge a handling fee for this service. Furthermore, the bill ensures that deputy registrars and driver's license agents are reimbursed for no-fee transactions by annually appropriating funds from the driver and vehicle services operating account, removing a previous provision that allowed for prorated payments if funds were insufficient.
