Proof of lawful presence in the United States required to obtain driver's license or identification card.

HF 3297 requires all applicants for a Minnesota driver's license or identification card to provide proof of legal presence in the United States. This change directly affects anyone seeking to obtain or renew these documents, adding a new eligibility requirement to existing rules. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly prohibit issuing licenses to applicants who fail to provide this proof, aligning with federal requirements under 8 U.S.C. §1324. The intent is stated as enhancing public safety while complying with federal law, without altering other existing licensing conditions like vision tests or driving experience.
