The bill establishes the Minnesota Clearance Grant Program, aimed at increasing the solve rate of nonfatal shooting crimes by providing grants to law enforcement agencies. It defines key terms related to nonfatal shooting clearance rates and outlines the program's purpose, which includes improving law enforcement strategies, enhancing victim support, and encouraging interagency cooperation. The program prioritizes agencies with high rates of unsolved nonfatal shootings and inadequate staffing, and it requires applicants to demonstrate collaborative efforts and a commitment to improving clearance rates.

Additionally, the bill specifies the allowable uses of grant funds, which include hiring personnel, overtime for investigators, developing evidence-based policies, and acquiring technology to improve investigative resources. Law enforcement agencies receiving grants must submit biannual reports detailing their activities and outcomes related to reducing violent crime and improving clearance rates. The bill also includes appropriations from the general fund for the program in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with a base appropriation set for subsequent years.
