This bill authorizes the placement of roadside signage for outdoor public access automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) at qualifying locations in Minnesota. It establishes a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, chapter 160, which outlines the criteria for businesses or locations to request directional signage from relevant road authorities. To qualify, these locations must adhere to registration and inspection requirements, ensure the AED is easily accessible, and display visible signage on the premises. The bill mandates that road authorities respond to requests for signage within a specified timeframe and outlines the responsibilities of participants regarding the costs and maintenance of the signage.

Additionally, the bill directs the commissioner of transportation to develop appropriate signage and text for AED locations by September 1, 2025, while allowing for revisions to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The signage must incorporate the universal symbol for AEDs and be designed to facilitate public access during emergencies. The commissioner is also tasked with maintaining information on AED signage and best practices on the department's website. The provisions of this section will take effect on October 1, 2025, while the section regarding the commissioner’s responsibilities will expire upon the adoption of relevant updates to the traffic control manual.
