Reimbursement program for law enforcement agencies that respond to protests and demonstrations at the Capitol complex and the governor's residence established, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 2818 creates a program to reimburse Minnesota law enforcement agencies for specific costs incurred while responding to protests or demonstrations at the State Capitol complex or the governor's residence. Eligible costs include overtime pay, equipment damage, backfill staffing, and necessary supplies. Agencies must submit detailed requests within 60 days of a protest, with the Public Safety Commissioner reviewing applications and making payments within 30 days. The law requires an annual report starting in 2027 detailing all reimbursements, and appropriates funding for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
