Noncompliant driver's licenses displaying of immigration status requirement provision
This bill requires Minnesota driver's licenses issued to individuals without lawful immigration status to display their immigration status on the card. The amendment modifies state statutes governing driver's license applications and license design to ensure noncompliant licenses clearly indicate the holder's immigration status while maintaining existing requirements for citizenship verification on enhanced licenses. The legislation affects all applicants seeking driver's licenses or identification cards in Minnesota, with specific provisions for how applications must be processed and what information must appear on issued licenses. The bill does not change residency requirements or the ability to obtain a license, but adds a new disclosure requirement for those whose immigration status does not meet federal standards.
