The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.71, subdivision 4a, to modify the requirements for exceptions to window glazing regulations. It clarifies that certain glazing materials are exempt from standard requirements if they have not been modified since installation or if they are original replacement windows that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205. Additionally, it specifies that glazing materials required for medical needs must include a prescription that indicates whether the condition is temporary or permanent, and allows for reduced transmittance to meet these medical needs.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that a driver can rely on a prescription or physician's statement issued to a family member or a person for whom they are a personal care attendant, provided that the documentation specifies the vehicle's details and the driver possesses the statement. The bill also includes an effective date of July 1, 2025, applying to prescriptions issued on or after that date.
