This bill aims to enhance public safety by amending various provisions related to driver's licenses and vehicle operation in Minnesota. It adds criminal vehicular operation to the list of offenses that require a one-year waiting period for obtaining a limited driver's license. Additionally, the bill removes the requirement that invalidated licenses be physically clipped, which streamlines the process for law enforcement. The bill also renames "two-wheeled vehicle endorsements" to "motorcycle endorsements," reflecting a more accurate terminology in the context of licensing and safety regulations.

It specifies that individuals must possess a motorcycle endorsement to operate motorcycles and outlines the conditions under which the commissioner of public safety may issue permits and waivers. The bill also clarifies the fees associated with motorcycle endorsements and establishes a motorcycle safety fund. Overall, these changes are intended to improve the regulatory framework surrounding vehicle operation and enhance safety measures for motorcyclists in Minnesota.
