SF 5297 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Licensing requirement of bail enforcement agents

This bill requires bail enforcement agents in Minnesota to obtain a license from the Board of Private Detective and Protective Agent Services before they can work. It mandates that bail bond companies cannot hire or contract with anyone who does not hold a valid license and establishes criminal penalties for violating this rule. The legislation also directs the board to create specific rules for training, conduct, and record-keeping for these agents while explicitly prohibiting them from enforcing civil immigration laws.
