Escort requirements for oversized loads modified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's escort requirements for oversized loads, specifically addressing manufactured and modular homes. It clarifies that when a licensed peace officer requires an escort beyond standard rules, that officer cannot personally provide the escort or be paid for it. Instead, the state commissioner of public safety must cover the escort costs from existing department funds and create a process to do so. The legislation also clarifies that briefly crossing the centerline during transport does not count as extending beyond the left side for escort determination purposes. These changes directly affect transportation companies moving large homes and the state public safety department.
