Subdivision 1. Religious objection. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 171.07, the commissioner of public safety may adopt rules to permit identification on a driver's license or Minnesota identification card in lieu of a photograph or electronically produced image where the commissioner finds that the licensee has religious objections to the use of a photograph or electronically produced image.

The hat or head wear must be of an appropriate size and type to allow identification of the holder of the license or card and must not obscure the holder's face.
