This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the definition of mental illness by including "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a recognized condition. The bill specifies that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is characterized by an acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal individuals, triggered by the policies and presidency of Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include intense hostility towards Trump and aggressive actions against his supporters or symbols associated with him. The definition of mental illness is updated in sections 245.462 and 245I.02 to reflect this new inclusion.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision specifically defining "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in both sections 245.462 and 245I.02. The amendments aim to provide clarity on this condition within the context of mental health legislation, thereby expanding the understanding of mental illness to encompass reactions to political figures and their policies.
