The bill introduced by Representative Quam in the Minnesota House proposes a new law that would restrict the use of municipal IDs. These IDs are locally issued identification cards that contain basic personal information about the resident they are issued to. The proposed law would prevent these municipal IDs from being accepted as valid identification for accessing state or federal services. This means that even though these IDs can still be used within the municipality for local purposes, they cannot be used to verify someone’s identity when they are trying to obtain services from the state government or from federal programs that are managed by the state.
