The bill amends several sections of the Minnesota Statutes to make technical changes related to the motorcycle safety account. It updates the requirements for issuing "Start Seeing Motorcycles" special license plates, specifying that applicants must contribute a minimum of $10 annually to the motorcycle safety account, which is now referenced under section 171.335, subdivision 4, instead of the previously mentioned section 171.06, subdivision 2a. Additionally, the motorcycle endorsement fee structure is clarified, with specific amounts allocated to the motorcycle safety account, which is now established as a separate entity within the special revenue fund.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new subdivision under section 171.335, which formally establishes the motorcycle safety account, detailing its funding sources, including contributions from license plate fees and motorcycle endorsement fees. The effective date for all these changes is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments aim to enhance the funding and management of motorcycle safety initiatives in Minnesota.
