The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.03, to extend the duration that 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 allowable period for nonresidents who become residents of Minnesota from 60 days to 180 days. This adjustment aims to provide greater flexibility for nonresidents transitioning to residency in Minnesota.

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 requirements for nonresidents are implemented promptly after the bill is passed.
