The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 123B.51, by adding a new subdivision that establishes limits on access to school sites by federal officials, specifically those employed by the United States Department of Homeland Security and related agencies. Under the new provisions, school officials and employees are prohibited from allowing these federal agents to enter school premises without valid identification, a written statement of purpose, and a valid judicial warrant. Additionally, approval from the superintendent or the person in administrative control of a charter school is required for such access. If the federal agent meets these requirements, access must be restricted to areas where students are not present.

The effective date of this new section is set for the day following its final enactment. This legislation aims to enhance the protection of students and school environments by regulating the circumstances under which federal officials can access school sites.
