Bill > HF2532

This bill eliminates the community crime and violence prevention account and transfers its unexpended funds to the general fund. Specifically, the bill moves $42 million from the community crime and violence prevention account to the general fund, effective immediately. Additionally, the bill repeals two previously enacted sections of law from 2023 that established the account and its funding mechanism, which had originally transferred $70 million from the general fund to create the account and allocated up to $14 million annually for crime and violence prevention grants administered by the commissioner of public safety. The repealed sections will be fully nullified on July 1, 2025. By eliminating this special revenue account, the bill effectively cancels the planned grants and redirects the remaining funds back to the state's general fund, potentially changing the approach to crime and violence prevention funding in Minnesota.
