AI Summary

This bill amends the eligibility requirements for a restricted driver's license for farm work in Minnesota. The key provisions are: 1. It allows individuals aged 15 and up to apply for a restricted farm work license, without having to meet the typical instruction permit and provisional license requirements. 2. The restricted license can be used to perform farm work for any authorized farming entity, not just the applicant's parent or guardian's farm. 3. The license limits driving to daylight hours and within a 40-mile radius of the farm where the person is working, rather than the parent/guardian's farmhouse. 4. The application must include documentation of the applicant's or their employer's ownership or rental of agricultural land, as well as a statement of necessity for the license.
