The bill proposes the establishment of a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 160, to authorize the placement of roadside signage for outdoor public access automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) at qualifying locations. It allows businesses or locations with an AED to request directional signage from relevant road authorities, which must be placed within specified distances from intersections or interchanges. To qualify for signage, these locations must adhere to registration and inspection requirements, ensure the AED is easily accessible, and display visible signage on their premises. The road authority is required to respond to requests for signage within a specified timeframe, and all associated costs will be borne by the requesting participants.

Additionally, the bill mandates the commissioner of transportation to develop appropriate signage and text for AED locations by September 1, 2025, which will include the universal symbol for AEDs. The commissioner is also tasked with maintaining publicly available information regarding AED signage and best practices on the department's website. This section will expire once relevant updates to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices are adopted. The effective date for the signage provisions is set for October 1, 2025, while the section concerning the commissioner’s responsibilities takes effect immediately following final enactment.
