The bill mandates the commissioner of public safety to amend Minnesota Rules regarding loss of consciousness or voluntary control provisions by July 1, 2026. Specifically, it introduces two new criteria under which drivers will no longer be required to submit an annual physician's statement. The first criterion applies to drivers who have experienced a single nonepileptic seizure, have been free from episodes for five years, have not taken antiseizure medication during that time, and have received a physician's assurance of good health. The second criterion allows for exemption after ten years of being free from episodes and not taking antiseizure medication, along with a physician's confirmation of minimal risk for reoccurrence.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the physician review requirements do not apply to drivers needing a valid medical examiner's certificate under federal regulations and allows the commissioner to utilize a good cause exemption for rule adoption. An appropriation of $11,000 is allocated for fiscal year 2026 from the driver and vehicle services operating account to cover the costs associated with this rulemaking. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
