Driver's license expiration dates extension to every eight years
This bill extends Minnesota driver's license expiration periods from current 4-6 year terms to every eight years, effective August 1, 2025. It directly affects all drivers renewing licenses after this date, including standard, REAL ID, and enhanced license holders. The key mechanism is extending the expiration period while increasing standard driver's license fees from $27.75 to $55.50 (and adjusting other related fees). This change applies to all license classes under Minnesota Statutes 171.02-171.27.
