Bill > HF663

This bill repeals the recently enacted authorization for motorcyclists to split or filter lanes in Minnesota, effectively removing the previous provisions that allowed motorcycles to move between lanes of traffic under specific speed conditions. The bill modifies existing statutes to prohibit motorcyclists from operating between lanes of moving or stationary vehicles, overtaking or passing vehicles within the same traffic lane, and removes language that previously outlined conditions under which lane splitting was permitted. Additionally, the bill eliminates a planned public education campaign about motorcycle lane splitting and reduces funding associated with motorcycle safety initiatives. The changes mean that motorcyclists must now follow the same lane usage rules as other motor vehicles, staying within a single lane and not maneuvering between vehicles. The modifications to the law are set to take effect the day after final enactment, immediately rescinding the previous lane splitting permissions that were recently established.
