10.23 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 171.072, is amended to read:
10.24 	171.072 TRIBAL IDENTIFICATION CARD.
10.25 	(a) If a Minnesota identification card is deemed an acceptable form of identification 
10.26 	in Minnesota Statutes or Rules, a tribal identification card is also an acceptable form 
10.27 	of identification. A tribal identification card is a primary document for purposes of 
10.28 	Minnesota Rules, part 7410.0400, and successor rules. This paragraph does not apply to 
10.29 	documentation of identification for a driver's license or Minnesota identification card 
10.30 	when the license or card is acceptable for federal identification.
10.31 	(b) For purposes of this section, "tribal identification card" means an unexpired 
10.32 	identification card issued by a Minnesota tribal government of a tribe recognized by the 
11.1 	Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Department of the Interior, that contains the legal 
11.2 	name, date of birth, signature, and picture of the enrolled tribal member.
11.3 	(c) The tribal identification card must contain security features that make it as 
11.4 	impervious to alteration as is reasonably practicable in its design and quality of material 
11.5 	and technology. The security features must use materials that are not readily available to 
11.6 	the general public. The tribal identification card must not be susceptible to reproduction by 
11.7 	photocopying or simulation and must be highly resistant to data or photograph substitution 
11.8 	and other tampering. The requirements of this section do not apply to tribal identification 
11.9 	cards used to prove an individual's residence for purposes of section 201.061, subdivision 3.

11.10 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2018, and applies to 
11.11 	applications submitted on and after that date.

11.12 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 171.12, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
11.13 		Subd. 7.Privacy of data. (a) Data on individuals provided to obtain a driver's 
11.14 	license or Minnesota identification card shall be treated as provided by United States Code, 
11.15 	title 18, section 2721, as in effect on May 23, 2005, and shall be disclosed as required or 
11.16 	permitted by that section. The commissioner shall disclose the data in bulk form upon 
11.17 	request to an authorized recipient under United States Code, title 18, section 2721.
11.18 	(b) An applicant for a driver's license or a Minnesota identification card may consent, 
11.19 	in writing, to the commissioner to disclose the applicant's personal information exempted 
11.20 	by United States Code, title 18, section 2721, to any person who makes a request for the 
11.21 	personal information. If the applicant so authorizes disclosures, the commissioner shall 
11.22 	implement the request and the information may be used.
11.23 	(c) If authorized by an applicant for a driver's license or a Minnesota identification 
11.24 	card, as indicated in paragraph (b), the applicant's personal information may be used, 
11.25 	rented, or sold solely for bulk distribution by organizations for business purposes, 
11.26 	including surveys, marketing, or solicitation.
11.27 	(d) An applicant for a driver's license, instruction permit, or Minnesota identification 
11.28 	card may request that the applicant's residence address be classified as "private data on 
11.29 	individuals," as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 12. The commissioner shall grant 
11.30 	the classification on receipt of a signed statement by the individual that the classification 
11.31 	is required for the safety of the applicant or the applicant's family, if the statement also 
11.32 	provides a valid, existing address where the applicant consents to receive service of 
11.33 	process. The commissioner shall use the service for process mailing address in place of the 
11.34 	residence address in all documents and notices pertaining to the driver's license, instruction 
11.35 	permit, or Minnesota identification card. The residence address and any information 
12.1 	provided in the classification request, other than the mailing address, are private data on 
12.2 	individuals and may be provided to requesting law enforcement agencies, probation and 
12.3 	parole agencies, and public authorities, as defined in section 518A.26, subdivision 18.
12.4 	(e) Except as otherwise provided by applicable federal laws and regulations 
12.5 	concerning commercial drivers' licenses, in connection with the issuance of a driver's 
12.6 	license or identification card that is not acceptable for federal identification, the 
12.7 	commissioner shall not:

12.9 	not disseminated as of January 1, 2018; or
