Employers prohibited from requiring a driver's license as a condition of employment.

This bill prohibits employers in Minnesota from requiring a valid driver's license as a condition for getting or keeping a job. It allows employers to ask for a driver's license only if driving is essential to the job or serves a legitimate business purpose, and it permits employees to use other forms of identification that meet federal standards instead. The law also clarifies that employers can still accept a driver's license if one is voluntarily offered, but doing so cannot be used as proof of discrimination. These changes would take effect on January 1, 2027, and apply to employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations.
