The bill establishes the Task Force on Holistic and Effective Responses to Illicit Drug Use in Minnesota, which is tasked with reviewing existing reports on illicit drug use, developing a phased timeline for policy implementation, and making recommendations to the legislature regarding policy and funding. The task force will consist of various members, including representatives from law enforcement, medical professionals, criminal defense lawyers, Tribal governments, and individuals with lived experience related to drug use. Appointments to the task force must be completed by August 31, 2024, and the task force will convene its first meeting by September 30, 2024.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the task force, including the submission of an initial report by February 15, 2025, and a final report by February 15, 2026, detailing its findings and legislative recommendations. The task force will be supported by the commissioner of public safety, who will provide necessary staff and resources. An appropriation from the general fund is also included to support the task force's operations, with specified funding amounts for fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027. The task force will expire upon the submission of its final report or the adjournment of the 94th Minnesota Legislature, whichever occurs later.
