     171.20 Minnesota license required; conditions, fees. 

    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 Repealed, 1993 c 266 s 34 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 clinic.  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 may require, before reissuing a license which has been revoked 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 or, in the case of a licensee 
 who is age 18 or younger, a youth-oriented driver improvement 
 clinic.  The commissioner may not require the licensee to 
 complete such a course unless an approved driver improvement 
 clinic or youth-oriented 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 $20.  When fees are collected by a licensing 
 agent appointed under section 171.061, a handling charge is 
 imposed in the amount specified under section 171.061, 
 subdivision 4.  The reinstatement fee and surcharge must be 
 deposited in an approved state depository as directed under 
 section 171.061, subdivision 4.  A suspension may be rescinded 
 without fee for good cause.
