Minnesota clearance grant program provided, law enforcement agency solve rate of crimes involving nonfatal shootings increased, and money appropriated.

HF 2742 establishes Minnesota's Clearance Grant Program to help law enforcement agencies improve their resolution rates for nonfatal shooting incidents. The program provides state funds for agencies to hire investigators, purchase forensic equipment, support victim services, and develop data-sharing systems across agencies. Recipients must submit biannual reports detailing investigations, staffing, clearance rates, and how grant funds were used. This directly affects local and state law enforcement agencies handling nonfatal shooting cases, with priority given to those with high unsolved case rates and plans for interagency collaboration. The bill requires agencies to track and report on specific metrics like victim/offender demographics and clearance rate improvements.
