Acceptance of certain gifts related to a line of duty death of a public safety officer allowed, and local government expenditure authorized for public safety officer killed in line of duty.

Related bill: SF1266

AI Generated Summary

This bill is designed to permit the giving of gifts to public safety officers following the line-of-duty death of a fellow officer. It defines what qualifies as a gift (money, personal property, plaques, or services provided without reciprocation) and outlines specific conditions under which these gifts can be accepted. Gifts are allowed if they are given within a 24-month period from the officer's death and if their purpose is to honor the deceased, commemorate their service, or boost the morale and cohesion of the team. This change is proposed to be added to the Minnesota Statutes, specifically under chapter 299A.
