This bill, H.F. No. 1351, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives during the Ninety-Fourth Session, proposes technical and clarifying changes to the state's transportation statutes, specifically Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.011. The bill makes amendments to three subdivisions within the statute:

1. Subdivision 1 (Terms) – Adjusts the wording to clarify that the definitions provided in the section apply to the chapter using more precise language.

2. Subdivision 7 (Bicycle Route) – Defines a bicycle route as a roadway or shoulder that is signed to encourage bicycle use, ensuring clarity in transportation laws.

3. Subdivision 68 (Roadway) – Refines the definition of roadway to explicitly exclude sidewalks and shoulders, except in cases where the commissioner allows dynamic shoulder lanes, in which case the shoulder is considered part of the roadway. Additionally, if a highway has multiple separate roadways, the term "roadway" refers to each one separately, rather than as a collective whole.

The bill was authored by Representative Koznick and referred to the Committee on Transportation Finance and Policy for further review.
