SF 1266 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Acceptance of certain gifts permission related to a line of duty death of a public safety officer

This bill allows public safety officers in Minnesota to accept certain gifts after a colleague dies while performing their duties. It permits gifts like money, property, plaques, or services given within 24 months of the death, provided they honor the deceased officer or boost team morale. The law overrides existing restrictions in statutes 10A.071 and 471.895 for these specific circumstances. It directly affects public safety officers whose colleagues died in the line of duty and the communities or organizations giving such gifts. The policy change takes effect after final enactment for gifts given on or after that date.
