Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to public safety; prohibiting local governments from enacting policies refusing to enforce traffic regulations; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 471.
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 legislation makes it illegal for local jurisdictions to implement rules that would restrict or block the prosecution of traffic law violations. Any existing local ordinances or policies that attempt to do so would be considered invalid under this proposed law. The bill adds a new section to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 471, which deals with municipal government regulations. By preventing local governments from selectively enforcing traffic laws, the bill aims to ensure consistent and uniform traffic law enforcement across different jurisdictions in Minnesota, potentially improving public safety and maintaining standard traffic regulation practices statewide.
