This bill establishes the Advisory Council on Community Collaboration, Stability, and Preparedness, and the Minnesota Common Ground Task Force, aimed at enhancing dispute resolution capacity and fostering collaboration among community leaders and public officials. The Advisory Council will consist of various representatives, including those from law enforcement, behavioral health, and community organizations, and will focus on preparedness for civil unrest and political instability. It is tasked with submitting annual reports to the legislature and the governor detailing its findings and recommendations. The Minnesota Common Ground Task Force will include members from both legislative chambers and various organizations, with a mandate to develop policy recommendations to address polarization and promote civility in governance.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds for several initiatives, including a study on the economic impacts of polarization, the creation of a civic health dashboard, and increased capacity for the Office of Collaboration and Dispute Resolution. This includes promoting conflict resolution education in schools, expanding mediation services, and enhancing support for local governments. The task force and council meetings will be public, and both entities are set to expire after specific reporting deadlines. Overall, the bill aims to improve community resilience and collaboration in Minnesota amidst growing social divisions.
