This 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. The bill introduces new definitions for "dynamic content," "electronic device," and "vehicle interface system," which clarify the types of electronic media that are subject to regulation. It prohibits drivers from operating a vehicle while an electronic device or vehicle interface system displays dynamic content that is visible to them, unless it pertains to vehicle operation, condition, maintenance, safety, or navigation.

Additionally, the bill outlines exceptions to this prohibition, allowing for the use of certain devices and features in specific circumstances, such as in authorized emergency vehicles or when using a global positioning system solely for navigation. The effective date for these changes is set for August 1, 2025, and applies to violations committed on or after that date. The bill aims to enhance road safety by regulating distractions caused by electronic displays in vehicles.
