Bill > HF1690

This bill makes technical changes to how the motorcycle safety account is established and managed in Minnesota, primarily focusing on updating references and clarifying account details. Specifically, the bill moves the motorcycle safety account from section 171.06, subdivision 2a to a new subdivision 4 in section 171.335, while maintaining the existing funding mechanisms. When individuals obtain or renew a motorcycle endorsement on their driver's license or purchase "Start Seeing Motorcycles" special license plates, they will continue to contribute $10-$19 to the motorcycle safety account. The account will remain part of the state's special revenue fund and will be used to support motorcycle safety training, instructor coordination, and related administrative costs, with strict limitations on spending: no more than 5% can be used for administrative expenses, and no more than 65% can be used for training and instructor activities. The changes are technical in nature and do not substantially alter the core purpose or funding of the motorcycle safety programs. All modifications will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing time for administrative preparation and implementation.
