MN SF1004

Establishes a permanent license reinstatement diversion program allowing cities and counties to divert Class D drivers charged with driving after suspension or revocation, provided the revocation was due to specific violations.

Participants must complete educational classes, pay reinstatement fees and program participation fees on a prosecutor-approved schedule, comply with traffic laws, and maintain vehicle insurance to receive a diversion driver's license.

Individuals with underlying citations costing less than $250 receive a 60 percent discount on program fees; those with citations costing $250 to $500 receive a 40 percent discount.

Program participation terminates if individuals are convicted of moving traffic violations, fail to provide vehicle insurance proof, or fail to meet program conditions; the original driving-after-revocation charge may be reinstated upon termination.

Requires biennial reports by February 1 of each even-numbered year documenting recidivism rates, participant success rates, fees collected, reimbursement policies, and recommendations for legislative changes.
