Bill text classifies some driver record details as private

The text classifies certain driver’s license and state ID information as private data about individuals. It covers data tied to certain indicators and designations on Minnesota driver’s licenses and state ID cards. The classification covers data maintained under the listed parts of section 171.07.

The text sets revocation periods for certain out-of-state impaired-driving convictions and adds at least 90 days to specified periods when department records show injury or death. These periods apply to certain out-of-state convictions that would be grounds for revocation in Minnesota. For a person with no qualified prior impaired-driving incidents in the past 20 years, the listed base periods vary by offense and circumstances. The extra time applies to those base periods. The base periods apply to the revocations described in paragraph (a); the added days apply to its clause (1) periods.

The text says people whose licenses were revoked for the same incident as their conviction are subject to the revocation periods in this section, and repeals a separate provision about revocations tied to the same incident. The rule covers people whose license was revoked under subdivision 3, clause (1), or subdivision 4, clause (1), because of the same incident as their conviction. The same-incident rule does not apply when the impaired-driving violation involved the specified aggravating factor. The rule applies to the revocation tied to the same incident.

The text defines ignition-interlock program participants to include people with certain out-of-state violations and listed offenses. The definition includes certain violations of other states’ laws and specified offenses under Minnesota law. A person must qualify for the program and have a license revoked, canceled, denied, or suspended under a listed provision.
