This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to extend the duration of temporary vehicle permits issued to nonresidents from 31 days to 60 days. Specifically, it modifies section 168.091 to reflect this change, allowing nonresident buyers to use the permit for a longer period without needing to register the vehicle. The bill also stipulates that the permit must be available in an electronic format and outlines the conditions under which the $1 fee for the permit may be waived if certain electronic transmission requirements are met.
Additionally, 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. Both sections of the bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, for permits issued on or after that date.
