Office of General Counsel required to provide guidance on law enforcement actions for the Department of Education.
This bill requires Minnesota's Department of Education Office of General Counsel to create guidance for school districts and charter schools on how to handle law enforcement actions, including immigration enforcement. The guidance must cover legal concepts like judicial warrants and probable cause, and explain how laws apply to various school settings such as parking lots, athletic facilities, extracurricular venues, and student transportation. The document must also identify the specific legal sources used, including state and federal laws and constitutional provisions. This guidance will be issued in consultation with the state attorney general and takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
