The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 204B.06, by adding a new subdivision that establishes a requirement for candidates seeking to hold county, municipal, or school board office. Specifically, the new provision stipulates that candidates must not have been convicted of making terroristic threats as defined under section 609.713.

This legislative change aims to ensure that individuals with a history of such convictions are ineligible for these public offices, thereby promoting safety and integrity within local governance. The addition of this requirement reflects a commitment to maintaining a standard of conduct for those who seek to serve in elected positions.
