SF 2207 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain special vehicle operation authorization on roads by ordinance without a permit

SF 2207 removes the requirement for a permit to operate certain special vehicles on designated roadways in Minnesota. Local governments (counties, cities, towns) can now authorize motorized golf carts, ATVs, utility task vehicles, and mini trucks on specific roads through ordinance, without requiring a separate permit for each vehicle. However, local ordinances must still designate approved roadways, require insurance, and set conditions like operating hours (sunrise to sunset), slow-moving vehicle emblems for golf carts, and specific equipment standards for mini trucks. This directly affects vehicle owners and local governments managing road access for these non-traditional vehicles.
