Minnesota Repeals No-Windshield-Mount Law

[MichaelF]

From the Minnesota legislature's press release:

GPS usage... addressed in public safety law
Global Positioning Systems can be mounted or located near the bottommost portion of a vehicle?s
windshield beginning Aug. 1, 2009. The provision, initially proffered by Rep. Al Juhnke (DFL-Willmar)
and Sen. David Tomassoni (DFL-Chisholm) as HF85/SF323, is part of the larger omnibus public safety
policy law sponsored by Rep. Debra Hilstrom (DFL-Brooklyn Center) and Sen. Mee Moua (DFL-St.
Paul).
HF1301/SF993*/CH59​

Dang - I spend all that extra cash on the dashboard mounts...

Appreciate that information (I live in Minnesota). I've enjoyed mine for over a year now, and use various mounting positions below eye-level using a homemade transferable mount between cars, bikes, and cycles. Works great!

It's nice to see the nanny state finally come to their senses.
