SF 2479 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Qualifying agricultural products definition modification for purposes of special farm products permits provision

This bill (SF 2479) amends Minnesota Statutes section 169.865 to add "soybean oil" to the definition of "qualifying agricultural products" eligible for special farm products permits. It directly affects farmers and agricultural businesses transporting soybean oil, as well as those handling other listed products like corn, livestock, dairy, and feed. The key change is expanding the existing list of qualifying products to include soybean oil under the transportation permit provisions. This clarifies which agricultural goods qualify for streamlined permitting when transported on Minnesota roads.
