AI Generated Summary

This bill (S.F. No. 1859) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299C.80, subdivision 6, limiting the scope of video footage made publicly available by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) for officer-involved death investigations.

The bill specifies that within 30 days of the conclusion of all criminal appeals or the case becoming inactive, the BCA must publish certain public investigative data on its website. The types of data to be released include reports, audio recordings, photographs, and only video that records, describes, or documents the actions and circumstances surrounding the officer-involved death.

Additionally, the bill requires the superintendent of the BCA to submit an annual report by February 1 to the commissioner, governor, and relevant legislative committees. The report must detail the unit's investigations, the number of incidents investigated, the outcomes of those investigations, prosecutorial charging decisions, plea agreements, and any other relevant information related to the unit’s mission.
