The 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 sections 169.50, 169.522, 169.801, and 169.81 to reflect this change. The amendments include adjustments to the requirements for tail lamps on vehicles, the display of slow-moving vehicle emblems, and the speed limits for operating or towing implements of husbandry.
In addition to the speed limit increase, the bill also clarifies the conditions under which certain vehicles, such as animal-drawn vehicles and motorized golf carts, must display slow-moving vehicle emblems. It establishes that these vehicles are designed for operation at the new speed limit of 35 miles per hour, with exceptions for specific situations like construction work. The bill aims to enhance public safety while accommodating the operational needs of agricultural and related vehicles on Minnesota roads.
