Bill > HF120

This bill modifies provisions related to law enforcement education and training by extending several key deadlines and making some structural changes to the intensive comprehensive law enforcement education and skills training program. Specifically, the bill changes multiple deadlines from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2026, for preparing grant application forms and developing the law enforcement training curriculum. The bill allows the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities to designate at least two regionally diverse system campuses for training, and removes the "nonprofit" qualifier when allowing the commissioner to designate private postsecondary institutions as training providers. Additionally, the bill enables the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents to request commissioner designation of campuses for training starting July 1, 2025. The bill also includes a $5,000,000 appropriation from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety for the Office of Justice Programs to continue the peace officer education and training program, with funds available through June 30, 2029. Most provisions are retroactively effective from July 1, 2023, which suggests an intent to provide continuity and additional support for law enforcement training programs.
