Bill > SF1585

This bill requires the Minnesota Attorney General to submit an annual report by July 15th to the chairs and ranking minority members of legislative committees overseeing judiciary, civil law, and criminal matters. The report must provide detailed information about legal proceedings where the constitutionality of a state statute is being challenged. Specifically, for each such case, the report must include a description of the statute in question, the Attorney General's efforts to defend its constitutionality, the current status of the case, the amount of staff time devoted to the case, and the total cost to the Attorney General's office for work on the case during the previous fiscal year (ending June 30). This transparency measure aims to provide legislators with comprehensive information about constitutional challenges to state laws and the resources expended in defending them. The bill will take effect the day after it is finally enacted.
