WE'LL MEET ANOTHER FIRST-TERM 'LAWMAKER WHO DEFEATED A POWERFUL INCUMBENT IN HER DISTRICT.

BUT, FIRST, THE BIGGEST BILL SIGNING SO FAR AND A BONDING BILL ALREADY MOVING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

>> IT'S DONE!

[ Cheers ] >> Mary: ANOTHER HISTORIC BILL SIGNING, THE BIGGEST GATHERING YET, BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALL DFL CONTROL MAKES DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR ALL A REALITY AFTER DECADES OF WORK.

>> FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY'RE MOVING TOO FAST, IT TOOK 20 YEARS TO GET TO HERE.

[ Cheers ] 20 YEARS!

THERE IS NO MOVING TOO FAST ON DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR ALL.

>> OVER 80,000 MINNESOTANS, BECAUSE THEY ARE MINNESOTANS, YOU ARE MINNESOTANS, DESERVE AND HAVE WAITED FOR FOR TOO LONG, BUT THAT CHANGES TODAY.

>> WE ALL BELIEVE THAT MINNESOTANS DESERVE SAFE AND STRONG AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES, AND WE, AS THE CHAIR HAS SAID, ARE OVERDUE IN UPDATING SOME OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
