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 "mental illness" now encompasses both traditional mental health conditions and this newly defined syndrome, which is characterized by an acute onset of paranoia in response to the policies and presidency of Donald J. Trump. Symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome may include intense hostility towards Trump and aggressive actions against his supporters or symbols associated with him.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision that explicitly defines Trump Derangement Syndrome, detailing its symptoms and the behavioral manifestations associated with it. The amendments to sections 245.462 and 245I.02 of the Minnesota Statutes reflect these changes, ensuring that this syndrome is formally recognized within the legal framework governing mental health.
