The bill establishes a reimbursement program for use of force training for peace officers in Minnesota, appropriating $2,500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2025. The funds will be allocated to the commissioner of the Office of Higher Education to provide grants to postsecondary schools certified in professional peace officer education. These grants are intended to support in-service training programs that cover the use of force, including deadly force, and will be available to peace officers at no cost.

To qualify for reimbursement, the training programs must meet specific criteria, including approval by the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, the use of scenario-based training with nonlethal ammunition, and instruction on stress management and de-escalation tactics. Schools can apply for reimbursement at a rate of $450 for each officer who completes the training, provided they submit the necessary documentation to the Office of Higher Education. The bill also defines "law enforcement agency" and "peace officer" according to existing Minnesota statutes.
