Bill > SF1926

This bill modifies the existing intensive comprehensive law enforcement education and training program by extending several deadlines and making some key changes. Specifically, the bill pushes back the deadline for preparing grant application forms from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2026, and requires the commissioner of public safety to develop a law enforcement education and skills training curriculum that can be completed in eight months or less. The bill also expands the potential education providers by allowing the commissioner to designate private (removing the "nonprofit" specification) postsecondary institutions to provide training, and enables the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents to request campus designations for law enforcement training starting July 1, 2025. Additionally, the bill appropriates $5 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2026 to support the continued operation of this intensive comprehensive peace officer education and training program, with funds available through June 30, 2029. All amendments are set to be effective retroactively from July 1, 2023, which suggests the bill aims to provide more flexibility and continued support for law enforcement training programs.
