SF 4068 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Ignition interlock program license revocation requirements modifications, driver's licenses indicators classified as private data provision, and technical corrections provisions

SF 4068 modifies Minnesota's driver's license rules in three key ways. It changes license revocation requirements for certain impaired driving cases under the ignition interlock program, clarifying which offenses trigger mandatory license suspension. The bill classifies driver's license indicators (like no-alcohol restrictions) as "private data" under Minnesota law, limiting how this information can be shared. It also adds new privacy protections, allowing license applicants to classify their residence address as private data for safety reasons and restricting how personal license data can be disclosed to third parties or federal agencies. These changes directly affect drivers with license restrictions, applicants seeking privacy protections, and the state's handling of driver data.

MODERATE

This bill updates Minnesota's driver's license laws to modify revocation periods for out-of-state driving while impaired convictions, add new data privacy rules for license indicators, and repeal an older implied consent revocation rule. It also corrects a reference to a repealed statute and adjusts data classification sections to better align with current privacy standards.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of data privacy protections to include specific identifiers and designations on driver's licenses and ID cards, and it extends the applicability of certain revocation periods to include out-of-state convictions that would warrant revocation in Minnesota.

REQUIREMENT

Revocation periods for out-of-state driving while impaired convictions are now explicitly defined, including specific minimum days based on alcohol concentration and prior incidents.

An older implied consent revocation provision (Section 169A.54, subdivision 6) was repealed and replaced with updated language referencing new revocation sections.

DEFINITION

New data privacy rules classify specific credential identifiers and designations on driver's licenses as private data governed by a new subdivision.

Data classification sections were amended to clarify that certain data maintained by the commissioner is private data and to update references to existing privacy statutes.

TECHNICAL

A reference to a repealed statute in the bill's summary was corrected to ensure legal accuracy.
