This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to extend the validity of temporary vehicle permits issued to nonresidents from 31 days to 60 days. Specifically, it modifies section 168.091 to reflect this change, allowing nonresidents who purchase a vehicle in Minnesota to use the permit for a longer period without needing to register the vehicle. The bill also includes provisions for electronic permit formats and waives the $1 fee if the sale information is electronically transmitted to the commissioner. Additionally, it mandates that the permit be affixed to the rear of the vehicle and is valid only for the specific vehicle for which it was issued.

Furthermore, the bill updates section 168A.11, subdivision 1, to align with the new 60-day permit duration for vehicles sold to buyers who will remove them from the state. Dealers are required to issue the 60-day permit and notify the commissioner within 48 hours of the sale. The effective date for these changes is set for October 1, 2025, for permits issued on or after that date.
