HF 5124 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Procedures and training related to the treatment of potentially suspicious deaths involving domestic violence modified.

This bill modifies procedures for investigating deaths in Minnesota that may involve domestic violence, directly affecting coroners, medical examiners, and law enforcement agencies. It requires officials to review records for a history of domestic abuse in cases initially classified as suicide, overdose, or accidents, and mandates training on identifying concealed homicides. The legislation also establishes a process for determining a "predominant aggressor" in cases involving intimate partners and ensures family members can access investigative records within one year of the case closing.
