The proposed bill aims to enhance public safety in Minnesota through a series of reforms focused on accountability, victim support, and improved safety measures. It mandates the director of child sex trafficking prevention to submit a program evaluation every odd-numbered year to the legislature, introduces stricter penalties for repeat driving without a valid license, and requires schools to report active shooter incidents to the Minnesota Fusion Center. Additionally, the bill emphasizes violence prevention training in schools, mandates better care in correctional facilities, and improves victim assistance programs, including updates to notification requirements for victims of domestic abuse and harassment.

The bill also amends existing laws to enhance transparency and support for victims of crime, particularly regarding investigations into officer-involved deaths and victim notification processes. It specifies that information on such investigations must be made available within 30 days of inactivity and requires law enforcement to provide supplemental notices to homicide victims and victims of juvenile offenses. Furthermore, it introduces new definitions related to protection orders and harassment restraining orders, ensuring peace officers notify victims of their rights orally. The bill designates certain sections as the "Larry R. Hill Medical Reform Act," reflecting its broader implications for victim support and legal processes.
