SF759

The legislative bill SF No. 759, introduced by Senators Koran and Limmer, aims to ensure that local government units in Minnesota cannot disarm police officers who are currently in good standing, unless there are specific legal provisions allowing it. This bill would add a new rule to Minnesota Statutes, specifically under section 626.8452, stating that local authorities—such as mayors, city councils, county boards, or chief law enforcement officers—cannot disarm a peace officer who is not under investigation or facing disciplinary action. This action seeks to maintain the arming of police officers unless specific conditions suggest otherwise.
