This bill mandates the commissioner of public safety to amend Minnesota Rules regarding loss of consciousness or voluntary control provisions by July 1, 2026. Specifically, it introduces new criteria under which drivers will no longer be required to submit an annual physician's statement if they have experienced a single nonepileptic seizure or have been free from episodes of loss of consciousness for specified periods (five or ten years) and have not been prescribed antiseizure medication during that time. Additionally, a physician must confirm that no further review of the driver's condition is necessary due to their good health and minimal risk of reoccurrence.

The bill also includes a provision that allows the commissioner to utilize a good cause exemption for rule adoption and specifies that the new rules do not apply to drivers who must hold a valid medical examiner's certificate. Furthermore, it appropriates $11,000 from the driver and vehicle services operating account for the costs associated with this rulemaking in fiscal year 2026. The effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment.
