HF1351

This bill, H.F. No. 1351, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives by Representative Koznick, aims to make technical and clarifying changes to certain transportation-related definitions in Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.011. Specifically, the bill modifies the definitions of:

• General terms (Subdivision 1): Simplifies wording regarding the definitions in the section.
  
• Bicycle route (Subdivision 7): Clarifies that a bicycle route is a roadway or shoulder signed to encourage bicycle use.
  
• Roadway (Subdivision 68): Revises the definition to specify that a roadway is the portion of a highway used for vehicular travel, excluding the sidewalk or shoulder, while also including dynamic shoulder lanes when permitted by the commissioner.
  

The bill appears to be technical in nature, mainly aimed at improving clarity and consistency in transportation laws. It has been referred to the Committee on Transportation Finance and Policy for further review.
