This bill aims to enhance public safety and security within the Minnesota Capitol complex by introducing several key provisions. It establishes a database for emergency contact information of elected officials, creates a Security Services Task Force, and provides security and protective services for legislators. The bill also includes appropriations for safety measures, such as courthouse security improvements and additional State Patrol personnel. It amends existing statutes to clarify the State Patrol's responsibilities in securing elected officials and state buildings, as well as the procedures for managing emergency contact information.

Additionally, the bill creates a Legislative Services Unit under Capitol Security, responsible for coordinating security services, developing protocols, and training newly elected officials. It mandates annual public and non-public reports on Capitol security, detailing activities and recommendations for improvements. The Security Services Task Force will advise on security measures and consist of appointed members, including legislators and law enforcement representatives. The task force is required to submit a report by February 1, 2027, summarizing its activities and recommendations. The new measures will take effect the day following final enactment.
