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 mandates that grant recipients report biannually on their activities and outcomes related to reducing violent crime.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund for the program, specifying amounts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with a base appropriation set for fiscal year 2028 and beyond. The grants can be used for various purposes, including hiring personnel, overtime for staff, developing policies and training, acquiring technology, and partnering with hospital-based violence intervention programs. The legislation emphasizes the importance of data integration and information sharing among law enforcement agencies to effectively address nonfatal shootings.
