The bill proposes the repeal of the peace officer grievance arbitration selection procedure as outlined in Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 626.892. This repeal eliminates the existing framework for selecting arbitrators in grievance arbitrations involving peace officers, which had established definitions, applicability, fees, and procedures for appointing arbitrators. The bill effectively removes the entire section, thereby nullifying the specific processes and requirements that governed how grievances related to disciplinary actions, discharges, or terminations of peace officers were to be arbitrated.

By repealing this statute, the bill aims to streamline the grievance arbitration process for peace officers, potentially allowing for a more flexible approach to handling disputes without the constraints of the previous selection procedure. The removal of this legal language signifies a shift in how grievance arbitrations may be conducted in the future, although the bill does not provide details on any new procedures or frameworks that will replace the repealed section.
