HF 553 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Acceptance of a municipal ID for state or federal services prohibited.

HF 553 prohibits state and local government agencies from accepting municipal identification cards as valid proof of identity for state or federal services. The bill specifically affects residents who rely on city-issued municipal IDs (like photo IDs with name, birthdate, and address) to access services such as welfare programs, healthcare, or driver's license renewals. It requires state agencies and local governments to reject municipal IDs for any service requiring identification, regardless of local ordinances. The law defines "municipal ID" as a card issued by a city to residents living within its boundaries for at least 30 days. The bill takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
