This bill (S.F. No. 2363) amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.19, to allow individuals whose driver's license revocation period has been extended due to violations of the state's ignition interlock program guidelines to seek judicial review. It grants district courts the authority to hear petitions challenging such extensions, similar to other cases involving license suspension, revocation, or cancellation.

Under the proposed changes, a person may file a petition in the district court of their residence (or any district court if they are a nonresident) within 180 days of the revocation extension or before the withdrawal period ends, whichever comes first. The court must hear the case within 15 days' notice to the commissioner, with both the petitioner and the commissioner (or representatives) given opportunities to present evidence. The petitioner must appear in person for cross-examination.

If the court upholds the extension of the revocation, the petitioner cannot file another petition for one year following the decision.
