Chief justice security appropriation

SF 4065 amends Minnesota law to require the Minnesota State Patrol to provide security for the chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, adding this position to the list of officials eligible for such protection. The bill appropriates $101,000 from the general fund for the 2027 fiscal year specifically for this purpose, with the amount becoming a permanent part of the Supreme Court's budget starting in 2028. This security would be arranged through consultation with the chief justice and is intended to provide ongoing safety measures, similar to protections already provided for other state officials like the governor.
