AI Summary
This bill prohibits local governments, including prosecutorial offices and law enforcement agencies, from creating ordinances or policies that prevent or limit the enforcement of traffic laws. Specifically, the bill proposes adding a new statute to Minnesota law that would make any local policy restricting traffic law enforcement automatically void. The legislation aims to ensure uniform traffic law enforcement across all local jurisdictions in Minnesota, preventing individual cities or counties from deciding not to enforce specific traffic regulations. By establishing this statewide mandate, the bill seeks to maintain consistent public safety standards and traffic regulation compliance throughout the state, regardless of local preferences or interpretations of traffic laws.
