Reporting on accidental discharges of firearms by peace officers required.

HF 3506 requires Minnesota police departments to report accidental firearm discharges by peace officers to the commissioner of public safety within 30 days. If the discharge was accidental or due to negligence, the report must include the firearm's make, model, caliber, and details about any accessories (like lights or holsters), specifying whether they were factory or aftermarket. The commissioner then compiles an annual report for the legislature by November 15 each even-numbered year, summarizing all officer firearm use. This bill directly affects police departments and peace officers by mandating detailed reporting on accidental discharges, aiming to increase transparency around such incidents.
