This legislative bill proposes a change to the election laws in Minnesota, specifically how they apply to candidates for county, municipal, or school board offices. The main feature of the bill is to establish that anyone who has been convicted of making terroristic threats, as defined under Minnesota law in section 609.713, would be ineligible to hold these types of offices. The bill aims to add this new requirement as a subdivision under section 204B.06 of the Minnesota Statutes. This proposal was introduced by representatives Knudsen and Joy, and has been referred to the Committee on Elections, Finance, and Government Operations for further consideration.
