The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.03, to extend the period during which a nonresident with a valid driver's license from another state or jurisdiction can operate a motor vehicle in Minnesota without needing to apply for a Minnesota driver's license. Specifically, the bill changes the exemption period for new residents from 60 days to 180 days. This adjustment aims to provide nonresidents with more time to transition to Minnesota's licensing requirements after establishing residency.

Additionally, the bill includes a new effective date provision, stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. This ensures that the amendments to the licensing regulations are implemented promptly, allowing nonresidents to benefit from the extended exemption period without delay.
