Bill > HF1351

This bill proposes technical clarifying changes to Minnesota's transportation statutes, specifically modifying definitions in section 169.011 of the state's transportation laws. The changes involve three subdivisions: First, in subdivision 1, the bill removes the word "shall" and replaces "ascribed to them" with "given" when referring to term definitions. In subdivision 7, the bill removes the phrase "The term" before defining a "bicycle route" as a roadway or shoulder signed to encourage bicycle use. Finally, in subdivision 68, the bill updates the definition of "roadway" to clarify that during periods when dynamic shoulder lanes are allowed, the roadway includes those shoulders, and when a highway has multiple roadways, each roadway is considered separately. These modifications appear to be primarily stylistic and aimed at improving the clarity and precision of the statutory language without substantially changing the fundamental meaning of the definitions.
