Minnesota SF1016 modifies provisions for repeat or dangerous traffic violations, enhancing penalties for certain offenses.

Minnesota SF1016 amends the state's traffic violation laws, specifically targeting repeat or dangerous offenses.

This change applies to offenses committed in a manner that endangers people or property, or those that occur after two or more petty misdemeanor convictions within a 12-month period. Additionally, the Judicial Council is prohibited from placing certain violations on the uniform fine schedule, and a court appearance is required for specific offenses.
