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 2026. The funds will be allocated to the commissioner of the Office of Higher Education to provide grants to certified postsecondary schools that offer professional peace officer education programs. Up to 2.5 percent of the appropriated amount is designated for the administration and monitoring of the program.

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 the effects of stress and de-escalation tactics. The training must be provided at no cost to the peace officers or their agencies, and postsecondary schools can apply for reimbursement at a rate of $450 for each officer who completes the training. The bill also defines "law enforcement agency" and "peace officer" according to existing Minnesota statutes.
