HF 2644 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Definition of crime of violence modified for firearms crimes.

HF 2644 amends Minnesota law to update the definition of "crime of violence" specifically for firearms restrictions. The bill adds offenses like murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, robbery, kidnapping, and sexual violence crimes (including attempts) to the list of qualifying "crimes of violence." This change directly affects individuals convicted of these offenses by potentially prohibiting them from possessing firearms under state law. The amendment clarifies which violent crimes trigger firearm restrictions, ensuring the definition aligns with current firearms regulations.
