HF 1832 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain special vehicle operation on roads by ordinance without a permit authorized, and conforming and technical changes made.

HF 1832 amends Minnesota law to allow local governments (counties, cities, or towns) to authorize operation of motorized golf carts, ATVs, utility task vehicles, and mini trucks on designated roadways through local ordinances - without requiring separate permits from the local government. The bill removes the current "permit only" requirement for these vehicles, while maintaining existing safety rules like operating only from sunrise to sunset (unless equipped with proper lights), displaying slow-moving vehicle emblems for golf carts, and requiring minimum equipment for mini trucks. This change directly affects vehicle owners and local governments by simplifying the authorization process for operating these special vehicles on public roads. The bill makes technical updates to align the statute with this new authorization method.
