Authorize city attorneys in Hennepin and Rasmey Counties to prosecute felony offenses and certain gross misdemeanor offenses when a county attorney declines to prosecute

This bill allows city attorneys in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties to prosecute certain felony and gross misdemeanor offenses when the county attorney declines to do so. It applies specifically when the crime occurred within a city's boundaries, the county attorney refused to prosecute, and the violation was discovered during a traffic stop for an equipment violation. The bill also authorizes these city attorneys to issue administrative subpoenas in such cases to gather evidence. It directly affects city attorneys in those two counties and the prosecution of specific offenses like certain violent crimes, child abuse violations, and environmental law breaches. The law amends existing statutes to clarify this authority and update subpoena procedures for relevant investigations.
