The bill establishes the Task Force on Establishing a Yellow Alert System in Minnesota, aimed at designing a system to quickly locate vehicles involved in hit-and-run accidents. The task force will consist of various members, including state officials and representatives from law enforcement and safety organizations, and is required to collect data, analyze existing alert systems, and make recommendations for legislation and funding. The task force is mandated to submit a report by January 15, 2026, detailing its findings and recommendations, after which it will expire.
Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety for the implementation of the task force. The specific amount of the appropriation is not detailed in the text. The task force is expected to convene its first meeting by October 1, 2025, and will operate under guidelines that ensure regular meetings and compliance with public meeting laws.
