This bill establishes an Advisory Council on Community Collaboration, Stability, and Preparedness, as well as a 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. The council is required to submit 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, tasked with developing 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 bill aims to strengthen community mediation and alternative dispute resolution infrastructure across Minnesota, ensuring that all regions have access to necessary resources and training.
