This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.07, to introduce a new subdivision that allows for the inclusion of a speech condition identifier on drivers' licenses and Minnesota identification cards. Specifically, upon written request from the applicant, the commissioner is required to issue a license or ID card that features a graphic or written identifier indicating a speech condition or disorder, such as stuttering. Importantly, the bill stipulates that no specific medical information will be included on the card.

Additionally, the bill provides that applicants can request a replacement or renewal of their license or identification card without the speech condition designation, provided they pay the required fee. This amendment aims to enhance the recognition and accommodation of individuals with speech conditions in Minnesota.
