This bill aims to enhance public safety in Minnesota through various measures, including child sex trafficking prevention, driving violations, and school safety protocols. It requires the director of child sex trafficking prevention to submit a program evaluation every odd-numbered year to the legislature, focusing on services for sexually exploited youth. The bill increases penalties for repeat driving violations without a valid license, establishing minimum fines and classifying certain violations as gross misdemeanors if they cause significant harm or occur within a specific timeframe of prior offenses. Additionally, it mandates schools to report active shooter incidents and threats to the Minnesota Fusion Center and enhances violence prevention training for students.

Moreover, the bill introduces amendments to improve care in correctional facilities, including guidelines for mental health treatment and medication administration. It establishes a new requirement for correctional facilities to provide prescribed medications to incarcerated individuals unless otherwise determined by a licensed health care professional. The bill also expands reporting requirements for the Minnesota Fusion Center and modifies timelines for public disclosure of inactive investigative data related to officer-involved deaths. Furthermore, it strengthens confidentiality rules for domestic abuse advocates and outlines the responsibilities of law enforcement in notifying victims of their rights, ensuring that resources are allocated to local victim assistance programs. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
