Advisory Council on Community Collaboration, Stability, and Preparedness and a Minnesota Common Ground Task Force created; capacity for dispute resolution increased; reports required; civil health dashboard established; and money appropriated.

This bill establishes two new advisory groups in Minnesota: an Advisory Council on Community Collaboration, Stability, and Preparedness and a Minnesota Common Ground Task Force. The council will include representatives from law enforcement, local governments, behavioral health, and community organizations to study how to better prepare for civil unrest and political instability. These groups will work together to develop strategies for building trust, improving communication, and creating toolkits for de-escalation during times of community tension. The bill also requires these groups to hold public meetings and submit annual reports to the governor and the legislature, with funding provided to support their operations.
