Public safety commissioner debt collection authority provided, in-person pickup of physical items delivered following Driver and Vehicle Services online transactions, deputy registrar fee retention procedures modified, no-fee transaction reimbursement funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill gives the Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner authority to collect unpaid fees for driver and vehicle services, including the ability to hire outside contractors for debt collection, while removing that responsibility from deputy registrars and license agents. It also requires the commissioner to offer in-person pickup options for physical items like license plates and registration cards that customers ordered online, and allows deputy registrars to charge a handling fee for these pickups. The legislation modifies how deputy registrars and license agents are reimbursed for certain administrative tasks and appropriates funds to cover no-fee transactions. Additionally, the bill clarifies that filing fees collected at self-service kiosks must be retained by the deputy registrar until deposited into their account, and establishes specific reimbursement rates for various vehicle-related services.
