Bill > SF5208

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 471.59, subdivision 8, to create an exception to the "commonality of powers" requirement for agreements between governmental units. Specifically, it allows a county sheriff to enter into agreements with a federal agency under a specific federal law (United States Code, title 8, section 1357(g)) to perform services or functions that the federal agency is authorized to provide, without needing prior approval from the county board of commissioners. This change aims to facilitate cooperation between local sheriffs and federal agencies for certain law enforcement functions.
