Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the city of Osseo in Minnesota to impose a one percent local sales and use tax if approved by voters in a special election.

The legislation also allows the city to issue up to $13 million in bonds to finance these projects without counting toward the city's debt limits or requiring a separate voter approval for the bonds.

The law mandates that employers pay a "quality service wage" starting in 2026, which combines the applicable minimum wage with supplemental benefits calculated according to federal Service Contract Act standards.

The bill expands the unit's current mandate - which already covers incidents with state/local officers - to now cover all incidents involving the specified federal agencies. This change directly affects federal law enforcement personnel from those agencies operating in Minnesota.
