Reporting requirement on accidental discharges of firearms by peace officers

SF 3561 requires Minnesota peace officer departments to report all firearm discharges during duty (except training or animal control) to the Commissioner of Public Safety within 30 days. For accidental or negligent discharges, departments must include specific details about the firearm (make, model, caliber) and accessories (like lights or holsters), noting if they were factory or aftermarket. The Commissioner must then forward these reports to the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training and submit an annual summary to the legislature by November 15 each even-numbered year. This bill directly affects law enforcement agencies and aims to increase transparency around firearm use by officers.
