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 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 specifies that these vehicles are not required to display the emblem when being used in actual construction work or when towing an empty implement of husbandry at lawful speeds greater than 35 miles per hour. The bill aims to enhance public safety while accommodating the operational needs of agricultural vehicles on Minnesota roads.
