Escort requirements modification for certain oversized loads

This bill modifies Minnesota's escort requirements for oversized loads by adding specific rules for manufactured and modular homes. It allows the state's commissioner of public safety to pay for licensed peace officer escorts when required by law enforcement, rather than requiring the transport company to cover the cost. The legislation also clarifies that brief centerline crossings permitted under existing traffic laws do not count as extending beyond the left lane for escort determination purposes. These changes directly affect transportation companies moving large homes and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
