REAL ID implementation law repealer
SF 3492 repeals Minnesota's 2017 law that required driver's licenses to meet federal REAL ID standards. The repeal, effective July 1, 2026, would end the state's requirement to issue REAL ID-compliant licenses and to provide specific information about REAL ID to applicants. The bill also directs the state to prepare new legislation by February 2026 to update relevant statutes. This change would remove Minnesota's state-level implementation of REAL ID standards, though the federal requirement for REAL ID-compliant licenses to board domestic flights would remain in effect.
