SF 1733 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Members of public safety policy and finance committees requirement to participate in ride alongs with law enforcement or fire departments

This bill requires members of Minnesota's legislative committees with jurisdiction over public safety policy or finance to complete at least 12 hours of ride-alongs with law enforcement or fire departments every two years. It directly affects legislators serving on these specific committees, mandating hands-on observation of public safety operations. The bill also requires the House and Senate to adopt rules for implementing this requirement. It does not change public safety policies or funding, but focuses on legislators gaining firsthand experience through these ride-alongs. The bill proposes adding this requirement to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 3.
