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, with a particular emphasis on gun violence, and it aims to utilize data and analysis to enhance criminal justice-related policies and practices in Minnesota.

The legislation underscores the state's commitment to addressing violence through research and informed policy-making. By allocating these funds, the bill seeks to create a dedicated resource that can provide valuable insights and recommendations to improve public safety and reduce incidents of violence across the state.
