This bill proposes changes to the penalties associated with the crime of fleeing from a peace officer in a motor vehicle in Minnesota. The main points are:

1. Heightened Penalties for Culpably Negligent Fleeing: The bill aims to introduce more severe consequences for fleeing from a peace officer in a motor vehicle in a manner that is considered culpably negligent.

2. License Revocation: The commissioner of public safety is required to revoke the driver's license of anyone convicted of fleeing from a peace officer under specified conditions. The duration of revocation varies:

   • For a first offense, the license is revoked for at least one year.
   • For a second or subsequent offense, it is revoked for at least three years.
   • For more serious offenses under different clauses, the revocation period can be as long as four to ten years, depending on the specifics of the violation.

3. Restrictions on Limited Licenses: During the first half of the revocation period, no limited license will be issued. After this period, a limited license may only be granted upon recommendation by the adjudicating court.

The aim is to enhance public safety by implementing stricter consequences for more severe violations when fleeing from law enforcement. The bill emphasizes the seriousness of endangering public safety through such actions and strengthens the legal repercussions.
