SF 2279 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Acceptance of a municipal ID prohibition for state or federal services

SF 2279 prohibits state and federal programs from accepting municipal IDs as valid identification for accessing services. The bill defines a "municipal ID" as a photo ID issued by a city or town (like Minneapolis or St. Paul) to residents who live there for at least 30 days. It explicitly states that such IDs cannot be used to prove identity for state services or federally administered programs run by Minnesota. This affects residents who rely on municipal IDs, as they would need alternative state-recognized IDs to access services like driver's license renewals or social programs. The law takes effect immediately after passing.
