1997 Minnesota Statutes

     171.20 Licenses must be surrendered. 

    Subdivision 1. Repealed, 1993 c 266 s 34 

    Subd. 2.    Operation after revocation, suspension, 
 cancellation, or disqualification.  (a) A resident or 
 nonresident whose driver's license or right or privilege to 
 operate a motor vehicle in this state has been suspended, 
 revoked, or canceled, shall not operate a motor vehicle in this 
 state under license, permit, or registration certificate issued 
 by any other jurisdiction or otherwise during the suspension, or 
 after the revocation until Minnesota driving privileges are 
 reinstated. 

    (b) A resident or nonresident who has been disqualified 
 from holding a commercial driver's license or been denied the 
 privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle in this state 
 shall not operate a commercial motor vehicle in this state under 
 license, permit, or registration certificate issued by any other 
 jurisdiction or otherwise during the disqualification period 
 until Minnesota commercial driving privileges are reinstated.  

    Subd. 3.    Driver improvement clinics.  The 
 commissioner may require, before reissuing a license which has 
 been revoked or suspended, that the licensee complete a course 
 of study at an approved driver improvement clinic.  The 
 commissioner may not require the licensee to complete such a 
 course unless an approved driver improvement clinic is located 
 within 35 miles of the licensee's residence.  For purposes of 
 this section "an approved driver improvement clinic" means a 
 clinic whose curriculum and mode of instruction conform to 
 standards promulgated by the commissioner.  

    Subd. 4.    Reinstatement fee.  Before the license is 
 reinstated, a person whose driver's license has been suspended 
 under section 171.16, subdivision 2; 171.18, except subdivision 
 1, clause (10); or 171.182, or who has been disqualified from 
 holding a commercial driver's license under section 171.165 must 
 pay a fee of $25 until June 30, 1999, and $20 thereafter.  When 
 this fee is collected by a county-operated office of deputy 
 registrar, a $3.50 handling charge is imposed.  The handling 
 charge must be deposited in the treasury of the place for which 
 the deputy registrar was appointed and the reinstatement fee 
 must be deposited in an approved state depository as directed 
 under section 168.33, subdivision 2.  A suspension may be 
 rescinded without fee for good cause.
