Senate File No. 292 is a legislative bill proposed in Minnesota that seeks to allocate funding to increase the number of State Patrol troopers. The bill outlines appropriations from the state's general fund totaling $7.2 million for fiscal year 2025, and $2.9 million for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This funding is designated specifically for hiring additional State Patrol troopers and for related staff and equipment costs. However, the bill specifies that this money cannot be used for hiring permanent capitol security troopers or for nonsworn officers.
