Minnesota HF663 repeals lane-splitting for motorcyclists and mandates a public education campaign on safe motorcycle operations.

Minnesota HF663 repeals the authorization for motorcyclists to split or filter lanes, effectively prohibiting lane-splitting. The bill also mandates the commissioner of public safety to implement a statewide public education campaign to inform drivers and the public on safe practices for overtaking and passing vehicles on motorcycles. This campaign must be consistent with existing driving rules and is funded by a one-time appropriation of $200,000 available until June 30, 2026. The bill amends existing statutes to ensure clarity and safety on motorcycle operations within traffic lanes.
