The bill establishes requirements for the investigation and negotiation of reciprocal driver's license agreements between Minnesota and foreign jurisdictions, defined as areas outside the United States and its territories. The commissioner of public safety is tasked with reviewing foreign jurisdictions that have reciprocal agreements with at least ten states, aiming to minimize administrative burdens in the exchange of driver's license issuance.
By October 1, 2025, the commissioner must begin negotiations for these agreements unless it is determined that such an agreement poses public safety concerns or other issues. In such cases, the commissioner is required to notify the relevant legislative committees about the findings and rationale for the decision. The new provisions will take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
