SF 1484 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

License plates impoundment and reissue modification under the DWI law

This bill modifies Minnesota's DWI law regarding license plate impoundment and reissuance. It directly affects drivers convicted of DWI who have their license plates impounded. Key changes include: requiring police to either destroy impounded plates or permanently invalidate them with a sticker, extending temporary driving permits to 45 days for blood/urine test cases (up from 14 days), and clarifying that permits only cover the specific vehicle issued. The bill also adds new criminal penalties for violations like operating a vehicle with impounded plates or making false statements about plate reissuance.
