13.5 	and technology. The driver's license security laminate shall be made from materials not 
13.6 	readily available to the general public. The design and technology employed must enable 
13.7 	the driver's license and identification card to be subject to two or more methods of visual 
13.8 	verification capable of clearly indicating the presence of tampering or counterfeiting. 
13.9 	The driver's license and identification card must not be susceptible to reproduction by

13.19 	the applicant's identity and residency be documented according to Minnesota Rules, 
13.20 	parts 7410.0100 to 7410.0600, or successor rules. The commissioner may enter into

13.23 	sharing of identification data and similar information and technology, subject to the data 
13.24 	privacy requirements of subdivision 1a. The commissioner may enter into agreements 
13.25 	with any public or private organization or agency to receive identification data and 
13.26 	identification verification information, which may include, but are not limited to, limited 
13.27 	liability or hold harmless agreements.
