This bill amends various sections of Minnesota Statutes related to transportation and driver and vehicle services, specifically focusing on the establishment of a full-service provider account and modifications to fee distributions. It introduces a new section that creates a "full-service provider account" within the special revenue fund, which will consist of fees collected from vehicle registration renewals and other vehicle transactions. The bill specifies how these fees will be allocated, including a $5 surcharge on vehicle registration renewals submitted by mail, with funds directed to both the driver and vehicle services operating account and the new full-service provider account.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing fee structures for vehicle transactions and driver's licenses, ensuring that a portion of the fees collected from mail or online transactions is allocated to the newly created full-service provider account. The effective date for these changes is set for October 1, 2025, with the first quarterly distribution from the full-service provider account scheduled for January 15, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to enhance funding for full-service providers while streamlining fee collection processes within the state's transportation services.
