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 two new criteria under which drivers will no longer be required to submit an annual physician's statement. The first criterion applies if a driver experienced a single nonepileptic seizure and has been free from episodes and antiseizure medication for five years, with a physician confirming minimal risk of reoccurrence. The second criterion allows for exemption if a driver has been free from episodes and medication for ten years, also confirmed by a physician.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that these physician reviews do not apply to drivers who must hold a valid medical examiner's certificate under federal regulations and does not determine their physical qualifications. The commissioner is also granted the authority to adopt rules using a good cause exemption, and an appropriation of $11,000 is allocated for the costs associated with this rulemaking in fiscal year 2026. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
