HF 1354 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public safety policy bill.

HF 1354 requires Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to make publicly available, within 30 days of case closure, video footage documenting officer-involved death investigations that is already public under other laws. It specifically limits the scope of video shared to only footage recording actions and circumstances surrounding the incident. The bill also mandates an annual report to state leaders by February 1st detailing investigation statistics, outcomes, and charging decisions. This affects the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the public accessing these records. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299C.80, subdivision 6.
