SF 1280 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Local government prohibition from enacting policies refusing to enforce traffic regulations

SF 1280 prohibits local governments in Minnesota from adopting ordinances or policies that refuse to enforce traffic laws. It directly affects cities, towns, and local law enforcement agencies by banning any rules that restrict enforcement of traffic violations. The bill makes such policies void if enacted, requiring local authorities to enforce all traffic laws uniformly. This changes local policy by eliminating the ability to create "no enforcement" zones for traffic regulations.
