Certain law enforcement training reimbursement funding extended.
HF 1256 extends the annual $6 million funding for the Philando Castile Memorial Training Fund, making it ongoing rather than temporary. This funding reimburses law enforcement agencies for approved training courses focused on use-of-force protocols (per MN Stat. §626.8452), crisis response/cultural diversity (§626.8469), and autism training (§626.8474). Agencies must submit detailed course applications including learning objectives, instructor qualifications, and assessment plans for board approval before reimbursement. The bill amends existing law to ensure this funding remains available each year for these specific training programs.
