State and local units of government and law enforcement agencies prohibited from acquiring military-grade weapons from the Pentagon's 1033 program.
This bill prohibits Minnesota state and local government agencies, as well as law enforcement entities, from accepting military-grade weapons through the Pentagon's 1033 program. The legislation defines "military-grade weapons" to include combat vehicles, aircraft, and offensive arms while explicitly excluding non-weapon items like generators and medical equipment. By codifying this restriction in state law, the measure prevents these agencies from utilizing surplus military equipment intended for offensive purposes.
