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 offenses as gross misdemeanors if they cause significant harm or occur within a specific timeframe of prior offenses. Additionally, schools are mandated to report active shooter incidents and threats to the Minnesota Fusion Center, while also improving violence prevention training for students.

The legislation also modifies existing laws to enhance care in correctional facilities, including guidelines for mental health treatment and medication administration. It requires correctional facilities to provide prescribed medications to incarcerated individuals unless deemed unnecessary by a licensed health care professional and mandates reporting of all deaths and significant incidents to the commissioner of corrections. The bill expands the definition of "endangered" in missing persons cases to include individuals with cognitive impairments and introduces federal background checks for applicants seeking licenses for adult entertainment establishments or massage services. Furthermore, it emphasizes the confidentiality of communications between professionals and clients, mandates notifications of rights for domestic violence victims, and establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for the new requirements.
