The restrictions on your license can be removed after 10 violation-free years.I live in MN and I've had a B card since 2007 and I want to have it removed. I got a boating while intoxicated in 2009 in WI. I have been sober since 2009. When MN does the background check for the B card removal will they see the BWI and cancel my license?
Yes they can.The BWI was in a different state than my home state so I'm curious if my home state can see the offense when they run the background check?
Probably. In what state was your BWI?The BWI was in a different state than my home state so I'm curious if my home state can see the offense when they run the background check?
Thank you for answering my question.BWI was in Wisconsin, but I live in Minnesota
Absolutely they can. I have a situation right now that involves two states farther apart than your two. Had a misdemeanor arrest and booking last fall and they ran a background check while I was in the holding cell, didn't find anything. But when I went to plead, they did a more thorough check and DID find a case from 10+ years ago which screwed up my new plea deal badly because I had also signed a statement that my record was clean, a statement that ended up false. So YES, assume very much they'll find it.Yes they can.
A lot depends on how the offense in the other state is charged, so it is not an absolute rule that an offense in one state will automatically be accessible/viewable to other states.Absolutely they can.

You would be smart to speak to an attorney in your area about the status of your restricted license with the additional boating while intoxicated violation.Ok thanks everyone! So it sounds like I should wait until 10 years after the BWI then? Can I still get in trouble even if I try to remove it in 2019 and they see the BWI?
I am going to revise my earlier answer a bit and also stress the need for you to speak to an attorney in your area of Minnesota.I live in MN and I've had a B card since 2007 and I want to have it removed. I got a boating while intoxicated in 2009 in WI. I have been sober since 2009. When MN does the background check for the B card removal will they see the BWI and cancel my license?
