SF 3264 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Length of time a nonresident with a valid driver's license from another state and jurisdiction may operate a motor vehicle without being required to apply for Minnesota driver's license expansion

This bill (SF 3264) amends Minnesota Statutes section 171.03 to extend the time nonresidents have to apply for a Minnesota driver's license after becoming a Minnesota resident. Currently, nonresidents with valid out-of-state licenses may drive without a Minnesota license for 60 days after moving to Minnesota; this bill increases that period to 180 days. It directly affects new Minnesota residents who hold valid driver's licenses from another state or jurisdiction but have not yet obtained a Minnesota license. The change applies only to the 60-day exemption period in section 171.03(h), with no other provisions altered.
