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 sections 169.50, 169.522, 169.801, and 169.81 to reflect this change. The amendments include the removal of the previous speed limit of 30 miles per hour and the insertion of the new limit of 35 miles per hour in relevant provisions regarding the operation and towing of implements of husbandry.

In addition to the speed limit increase, the bill maintains existing requirements for vehicle safety, such as the need for tail lamps and slow-moving vehicle emblems. The changes aim to enhance the operational efficiency of agricultural vehicles while ensuring public safety on the roads. The bill also clarifies the conditions under which certain vehicles, including animal-drawn vehicles and motorized golf carts, must display the slow-moving vehicle emblem, ensuring they are visible from a distance of at least 600 feet.
