Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to public safety; requiring reporting on accidental discharges of firearms by peace officers; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 626.553, subdivision 2.
AI Summary
This bill requires that if a peace officer accidentally discharges their firearm, or if the discharge is due to the officer's negligence, the notification filed with the commissioner of public safety must include specific details about the firearm and any accessories attached to it, such as its make, model, and caliber, and whether accessories like lights, lasers, or holsters were factory-installed or added later. This amendment builds upon an existing law that already mandates reporting for all firearm discharges by peace officers, except for training or when killing a sick, injured, or dangerous animal, with the commissioner of public safety then forwarding a copy to the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training and reporting summary information to the legislature.
