Minnesota SF758 modifies the crime of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle by adding a heightened penalty for fleeing in a culpably negligent.

SF758 amends Minnesota Statutes to add a new subdivision for fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle in a culpably negligent manner, which is defined as knowingly operating a vehicle in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of causing death or great bodily harm. This offense is classified as a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, a fine of up to $8,000, or both. The bill also revises the revocation periods for driver's licenses of those convicted of fleeing a peace officer, with the revocation period increasing for subsequent offenses.
