SF 4731 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Wheelchair accessibility for operators of autonomous vehicles requirement provision

This bill requires commercial operators of autonomous vehicles in Minnesota to have at least two wheelchair-accessible vehicles in their fleet within one year of starting operations. It applies to any entity using autonomous vehicles - defined as Level 3, 4, or 5 automation systems - for commercial purposes like transporting passengers or goods. The bill mandates that operators certify compliance to the state commissioner, who can suspend operations if the requirement is not met. This measure ensures accessibility for wheelchair users in the emerging autonomous vehicle industry.
