Online driver improvement clinics authorization

This bill allows courts and municipalities in Minnesota to refer drivers to online or remote driver improvement clinics when local in-person clinics aren't available. It requires the Public Safety Commissioner to create rules for third-party online providers to meet the same standards as traditional clinics and maintain a list of approved courses. The bill also permits these third-party providers to charge fees exceeding the current $50 limit for participants. It directly affects drivers needing improvement classes, courts/municipalities making referrals, and third-party course providers seeking certification. The changes aim to expand access to driver improvement programs through digital options while ensuring regulatory oversight.
