The bill amends several sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to motorcycle safety and the associated fees. It establishes a motorcycle safety account within the special revenue fund, which will consist of funds deposited from specific fees related to motorcycle endorsements and special license plates. The bill specifies that applicants for "Start Seeing Motorcycles" special license plates must contribute a minimum of $10 annually to this 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 bill modifies the fee structure for motorcycle endorsements on driver's licenses, detailing how the fees will be allocated to the motorcycle safety account. It clarifies that the commissioner of public safety is responsible for managing the funds appropriated for motorcycle safety purposes, ensuring that they are used effectively. The effective date for all these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
