SF 759 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Disarming of peace officers who are in good standing by local units of government prohibition provision

SF 759 prohibits local government entities (such as mayors, city councils, county boards, or chief law enforcement officers) from disarming peace officers who are in good standing and not under investigation or disciplinary action. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require that any disarming must be expressly authorized by another law, preventing unilateral decisions by local officials. It directly affects peace officers performing duties without issues and local governments making equipment-related decisions. The provision becomes effective upon final enactment.
