HF 1117 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Local units of government prohibited from disarming peace officers who are in good standing.

This bill prohibits local government officials (mayors, city councils, county boards, or chief law enforcement officers) from disarming peace officers who are in good standing and not under investigation or disciplinary action, unless another law specifically authorizes it. It directly affects peace officers and the local officials who manage their employment. The key provision amends Minnesota Statutes section 626.8452 to add this restriction, ensuring qualified officers cannot be disarmed without legal justification. The law takes effect the day after it is enacted.
