Various provisions related to driver and vehicle services modified, distribution of money to deputy registrars for no-fee transactions required, driver's license examination requirements modified, online renewal established, and money appropriated.

HF 1174 modifies Minnesota's driver and vehicle services by establishing online license renewal for eligible applicants, requiring vision exams for online renewals, and changing fee structures. It mandates that deputy registrars handling no-fee transactions (like corrections or title surrenders) receive payments of $9 per renewal and $13 per other transaction from a dedicated fund. The bill also adjusts vehicle registration fees ($8 for renewals, $12 for other transactions) and specifies how these fees are allocated to state accounts for operations and technology. These changes directly affect drivers renewing licenses online, deputy registrars processing transactions, and the Department of Public Safety managing fees. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
