SF 4937 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Identification of a lifetime permit to discharge a firearm or bow and arrow from a stationary motor vehicle provision on drivers' licenses and Minnesota identification cards

This bill updates Minnesota drivers' licenses and identification cards to show when a holder has a lifetime permit to hunt from a stationary vehicle. It applies specifically to individuals with permanent physical disabilities who qualify for this special hunting permit under existing state laws. The legislation requires the Department of Public Safety to receive electronic notifications from the Department of Natural Resources when such lifetime permits are issued, suspended, or revoked. Once notified, the department must add a specific graphic or written mark to the affected driver's license or ID card to indicate the permit status. These changes are designed to ensure that law enforcement and other officials can easily identify permit holders while the bill itself takes effect on June 1, 2027.
