1.1 	A bill for an act
1.2 	relating to public safety; requiring the commissioner of public safety to review the 
1.3 	process for driving privilege reinstatement following a driving while impaired

 1.9 		Subdivision 1.Review. (a) The commissioner of public safety shall conduct a review 
1.10 	of the statutes and the department's administrative rules and policies governing the process 
1.11 	by which a person's driving privileges are reinstated, in whole or in part, following a driving 
1.12 	while impaired incident.
1.13 	(b) At a minimum, the review must focus on identifying requirements that needlessly 
1.14 	impede a person's ability to reacquire driving privileges, such as requiring documents or 
1.15 	other items from sufficiently far in the past that would prove unduly cumbersome or 
1.16 	impossible for the average person to procure.
1.17 		Subd. 2.Rule or policy change. If the commissioner identifies a requirement of the 
1.18 	type described in subdivision 1, paragraph (b), that is contained in a Department of Public 
1.19 	Safety rule or internal policy and that is not required by statute, the commissioner shall 
1.20 	amend or update the rule or policy to facilitate driving privilege reinstatement if doing so 
1.21 	is consistent with public safety.
1.22 		Subd. 3.Report. By February 15, 2024, the commissioner shall report to the chairs and 
1.23 	ranking minority members of the legislative committees on public safety and transportation

2.2 	in subdivision 1. In addition, the report must identify any actions taken or commenced under 
2.3 	subdivision 2.
