(St. Paul-AP) -- The Minnesota Court of Appeals has overturned rules
that allowed law enforcement to track foreign visitors through special
driver's license markings.
While agreeing that the threat to public safety ``arguably might be
both serious and immediate,'' the three-judge panel determined that the
Department of Public Safety didn't demonstrate a strong enough reason to
go around the normal rulemaking process.
The move to align driver's license expiration dates with the time
visas expire is also a hot topic at the Legislature.
