Prohibit Department of Public Safety from accepting private funds for any purposes

This bill prohibits the Minnesota Department of Public Safety from accepting any private money, including donations, nonfederal grants, bequests, or gifts, for any purpose. The law requires that the department cannot use such funds to carry out its duties or for any other activity, effectively banning all private financial contributions to the agency. Additionally, the bill removes previous reporting requirements that allowed the department to disclose how it used accepted private funds. This change directly affects the Department of Public Safety by restricting its ability to receive and utilize external private funding.
