Onetime aid to reimburse certain city costs of federal enforcement actions establishment and appropriation

This bill establishes a one-time $10 million fund to reimburse Minnesota cities for costs related to federal immigration enforcement activities expected between December 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026. Eligible expenses include operations for public safety, emergency management, public works, and legal counsel incurred during that specific period. Cities must submit verified cost reports to the state auditor by August 2026, after which funds will be distributed proportionally based on each city's certified expenses. The legislation also requires cities to return any state aid received if they subsequently obtain federal reimbursement for the same costs.
