CIVIL Act established.
HF 900 establishes the "Constitutional Integrity and Values in Law (CIVIL) Act" for Minnesota counties. It allows counties to pass a resolution designating themselves as "constitutional counties," enabling them to refuse using county resources (funds, staff, property) to enforce any federal law or regulation they believe conflicts with the U.S. Constitution. This bill directly affects county governments by giving them a formal mechanism to opt out of enforcing certain federal requirements. The provisions take effect the day after the bill is enacted. The bill does not change federal law or directly impact residents' daily lives.
