Public Safety Advisory Council eliminated.
HF 1257 eliminates Minnesota's Public Safety Advisory Council by repealing the statute that established it (Minnesota Statutes §626.8435). The bill amends another statute (§626.8457) to remove all references to the council, including provisions requiring law enforcement agencies to submit data to it for evaluating officer conduct. This change removes the council's role in analyzing law enforcement data and identifying patterns of officer behavior. The bill does not create new reporting requirements but ends an existing entity and its associated duties.
