Public safety radio account establishment provision, abandoned or stolen property proceeds deposits direction provision, and appropriation
This bill creates a new public safety radio account in Minnesota's special revenue fund to support communication equipment for emergency responders. It requires that proceeds from the sale of abandoned or stolen property held by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for more than 90 days be deposited into this account instead of the general fund. The money in the account will be used to provide grants to local governments, Tribal entities, and state agencies for purchasing or upgrading interoperable portable and mobile radios for the statewide ARMER public safety radio system. The bill also establishes a requirement for the Department of Public Safety commissioner to submit annual reports on the account's funds and grants awarded by January 15, 2027.
