The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.471, subdivision 1, to modify the limitations on the display of dynamic electronic content while operating a motor vehicle. It replaces the term "television screen" with "display of electronic content" and introduces definitions for "dynamic content," "electronic device," and "vehicle interface system." The bill prohibits vehicle operators from using electronic devices or vehicle interface systems that display dynamic content visible to them while the vehicle is in motion, with specific exceptions for emergency vehicles, navigation systems, and devices that provide solely passive displays.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the prohibition does not apply to certain devices or features used in authorized emergency vehicles, navigation systems, and wireless communications devices used in compliance with existing laws. The effective date for these changes is set for August 1, 2025, and will apply to violations committed on or after that date.
