Bill > SF3546

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing law regarding electronic displays in motor vehicles by comprehensively defining and restricting the use of dynamic electronic content while driving. The bill introduces new definitions for "dynamic content" (which includes video content, interactive games, and content with movement), "electronic device" (covering a wide range of portable electronics), and "vehicle interface system" (a centralized electronic interface in a vehicle). When a motor vehicle is in motion, drivers are prohibited from having electronic devices or vehicle interface systems displaying dynamic content visible to them, with specific exceptions for law enforcement and emergency vehicles, closed-circuit video systems for vehicle visibility, navigation systems, wireless communication devices used in compliance with existing law, and devices providing passive displays. The law aims to reduce driver distraction by limiting the types of electronic content that can be viewed while operating a vehicle, with the new regulations set to take effect on August 1, 2025, and applying to violations from that date forward.
