The bill proposes the establishment of a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 160, to authorize the placement of roadside signage for public access automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) at qualifying locations. It defines a "public access AED" and outlines the criteria for property owners or businesses to request directional signage, which includes meeting registration and inspection requirements, ensuring the AED is in an accessible location, and marking it with visible signage. The relevant road authority is required to respond to requests for signage within a specified timeframe, and all associated costs for installation and maintenance will be borne by the requesting participant. Additionally, if an AED is removed or becomes non-operational, the participant must notify the road authority to remove the signage.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the commissioner of transportation to develop appropriate signage for outdoor public access AEDs by September 1, 2025, which must include the universal symbol for AEDs. The commissioner is also tasked with consulting stakeholders to ensure the signage is effective and minimizes confusion. The provisions of this bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, for the signage requirements, while the directive for the commissioner to develop signage is effective immediately following final enactment.
