This bill, S.F. No. 1034, proposes that the state of Minnesota allocate $250,000 in 2026 from its general fund to a nonprofit organization. This money is intended to support a Community Engagement Response Team in the Rochester area. The team, which will be made up of community leaders and volunteers, aims to enhance public safety by serving as a mediator between the Black community and law enforcement. Additionally, the team will focus on creating opportunities, resolving conflicts, and advocating for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
