1.11 	department shall not issue a driver's license to a person unless and until the person's license 
1.12 	from any jurisdiction has been invalidated. The department shall provide to the issuing

1.19 	Sec. 2. [171.072] TRIBAL IDENTIFICATION CARD.
1.20 	(a) For purposes of this subdivision, "tribal identification card" means an unexpired 
1.21 	identification card issued by the tribal government of a Minnesota tribe recognized by the 
1.22 	Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Department of the Interior, that contains the legal 
1.23 	name, date of birth, signature, and picture of the enrolled tribal member.
2.1 	(b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if a Minnesota identification card is 
2.2 	deemed an acceptable form of identification in Minnesota Statutes or Minnesota Rules, a 
2.3 	tribal identification card is also an acceptable form of identification. A tribal identification 
2.4 	card shall be recognized as a primary document for purposes of Minnesota Rules, part 
2.5 	7410.0400, and successor rules.
2.6 	(c) The tribal identification card must contain security features that make it as 
2.7 	impervious to alteration as is reasonably practicable in its design and quality of material 
2.8 	and technology. The security features must utilize materials that are not readily available 
2.9 	to the general public. The tribal identification card must not be susceptible to reproduction 
2.10 	by photocopying or simulation and must be highly resistant to data or photograph 
2.11 	substitution and other tampering. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply to 
2.12 	tribal identification cards used to prove an individual's residence for purposes of section 
2.13 	201.061, subdivision 3.
