The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety. This funding is designated for the establishment of a violence prevention project research center, which will operate as a nonprofit and nonpartisan entity. The center's primary focus will be on reducing violence in society, particularly emphasizing issues related to gun violence, and utilizing data and analysis to enhance criminal justice policies and practices in Minnesota.

The legislation aims to create a dedicated resource for research and policy improvement in the realm of public safety, specifically targeting violence prevention. By allocating these funds, the state seeks to foster a more informed approach to addressing violence through evidence-based strategies and interventions.
