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 necessary for medical reasons. Specifically, it introduces a requirement that prescriptions must indicate whether the medical need is temporary or permanent, and it allows for reduced transmittance to meet medical needs. Additionally, it specifies that a prescription or physician's statement can be used by a driver for a family member or a person they care for, provided it includes details about the vehicle.

The bill also includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to prescriptions issued on or after that date. This change aims to ensure that individuals with medical needs can have appropriate window glazing while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
