This bill amends several sections of the Minnesota Statutes to increase the speed limit for implements of husbandry from 30 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour. Specifically, it modifies definitions and requirements related to implements of husbandry in sections 168A.01, 169.50, 169.522, 169.801, and 169.81. The changes clarify that self-propelled motor vehicles used in livestock operations must not exceed the new speed limit, and that towed implements of husbandry are also subject to this updated speed regulation.

In addition to the speed limit increase, the bill maintains existing safety requirements, such as the need for slow-moving vehicle emblems and tail lamp regulations. The amendments ensure that all relevant vehicles, including those used in agricultural operations, comply with the new speed limit while still adhering to safety standards. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the efficiency of agricultural transport while ensuring public safety on the roads.
