HF 809 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Local governments prohibited from enacting policies refusing to enforce traffic regulations.

HF 809 prohibits local governments (including cities, counties, and law enforcement agencies) from adopting policies that block enforcement of traffic laws. It states that any local ordinance or policy restricting traffic law enforcement is void. The bill directly affects municipal governments and law enforcement bodies by requiring consistent enforcement of state traffic regulations. This ensures traffic safety rules apply uniformly across Minnesota without local exemptions.
