This bill (S.F. No. 1585) proposes a new requirement for the Minnesota Attorney General's Office to submit an annual report by July 15 each year. The report must be provided to the chairs and ranking minority members of legislative committees overseeing judiciary, civil law, or criminal law. Specifically, the report must list all legal proceedings in which the constitutionality of a state statute has been challenged. For each case, the report must include: - A description of the statute being challenged, - The Attorney General's efforts to defend the statute, - The status of the case, - The amount of staff time attributed to the case, and - The cost incurred by the Attorney General's Office for handling the case during the fiscal year ending June 30.

This bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the Attorney General's legal activities.
