Bill > HF1691

This bill makes technical clarifying changes to Minnesota Statutes section 168.002, specifically updating language in two subdivisions related to vehicle terminology. In subdivision 1, the bill modifies the introductory language about defining terms, replacing somewhat archaic phrasing like "shall be given the meanings subjoined to them" with more modern, direct language that indicates the terms defined in the section have specific meanings. In subdivision 10, which defines "first year of life" for vehicles, the bill updates outdated grammatical constructions, replacing phrases like "if there be" with "if there is" and modernizing the explanation of how a vehicle's first year of life is determined. These changes do not substantively alter the legal meaning of the statute but instead improve its clarity and readability, making the language more contemporary and easier to understand for readers and practitioners working with transportation-related statutes.
