Driver's license road skills examination appointment requirements and website information modification

SF 1394 updates Minnesota's process for scheduling and administering the road skills test required for class D driver's licenses. It mandates that the state website display real-time appointment availability, including next available dates sorted by distance from the user's address, with appointments released three months in advance at set times (8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m.). The bill also authorizes approved third-party testing programs and certified testers to conduct the road test, requiring state approval, regular audits, and an appeals process for applicants. These changes directly affect class D license applicants, the Department of Public Safety, and new third-party testing organizations.
