Task Force on Establishing a Yellow Alert System creation

This bill establishes a task force to design a public alert system for hit-and-run accidents causing injury or death in Minnesota. The task force, composed of public safety officials, law enforcement representatives, and community stakeholders, will study other states' systems, determine triggering conditions (like injury or death), and develop procedures for law enforcement and public notification. It requires a final report with recommendations by January 15, 2026, and appropriates $ for the task force's work. The system itself would not be implemented until after the task force completes its recommendations.
