The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.071, subdivision 2, to modify the requirements for photographs on drivers' licenses and identification cards for individuals who have a medical covering due to specific health conditions. It allows for the inclusion of individuals who have experienced hair loss due to an accident or serious illness, as well as those who need to maintain continuous coverage of the head or scalp.

The new legal language specifies that the commissioner must not require the removal of a medically required covering for the photograph or electronically produced image. Additionally, the covering must be of an appropriate size and type to allow for the identification of the license or card holder while ensuring that the holder's face is not obscured. This change aims to accommodate individuals with medical needs while maintaining identification standards.
