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 operate at speeds not exceeding 35 miles per hour, and that towed implements of husbandry can also be towed at this increased speed without being subject to certain tail lamp requirements.

Additionally, the bill updates the regulations regarding the display of slow-moving vehicle emblems, stating that these vehicles, including implements of husbandry, must display the emblem when operating at speeds of 35 miles per hour or less. The amendments ensure that the safety standards for these vehicles are consistent with the new speed limit, while also maintaining the requirement for proper visibility and safety measures for all vehicles involved in agricultural operations.
