Staff said sections 1 and 2 contain Representative Knudson's fentanyl-exposure bill with an exception for certain medical professionals and practitioners. The DE2 also includes Representative Whitty's House File 1399, which requires the commissioner of corrections to stock opiate antagonists in state correctional facilities. Other provisions noted by staff include Representative Harter's House File 467 (delaying the elimination of correctional fees by two years), Chair Moller's House File 1082 (establishing the Minnesota victims of crime account and creating assessments to fund it), Representative Vice's House File 1769 (modifying the community supervision formula calculation), Representative Myers's House File 135 (consecutive sentences for assaults on certain jail personnel), Representative Harter's House File 130 (mandatory minimums for certain trafficking offenses), Representative Hewitt's House File 120 (extending implementation timeline for the Peace Officer Intensive Education and Skills Training program), Representative Hudson's House File 764 (extending the statute of limitations for arson), and Chair Novotny's House File 962 (creating an advisory panel on Brady/Giglio issues and law enforcement testimony in criminal trials).

Staff emphasized that some items in Article 2 are one-time funding or timing changes, while others change statute language or formula calculations. The committee did not take votes on these provisions during the hearing; members were told they would consider additional amendments and votes on the DE2 the following day.

Staff said the administrative transfer of investigators already occurred in February under an administrative authority (cited in testimony as section 16B.37). Article 3 includes two highlighted statutory provisions: one requiring the BCA to investigate criminal insurance fraud and imposing a reporting duty on the commissioner of commerce for crimes identified in civil regulatory work, and another that formally establishes a financial crimes and fraud section within the BCA. That section is described in the amendment as having specific duties, mandatory referral responsibilities, authority for certain data-sharing between agencies to facilitate reporting of suspected fraud, and a requirement that funds from the existing insurance-policy assessment be used only for insurance-fraud investigations and related crimes.

Mr. Johnson, who reviewed Article 3, told the committee the statutory language also requires an annual report to the legislature on the new section's work. He described the provisions as largely conforming changes related to the transfer that nonetheless contain operational requirements and reporting obligations that will govern the BCA's new financial-crimes activities going forward.

No vote on the statutory language occurred during the hearing; staff said members would have further opportunities to debate and amend the language when the committee reconvenes to take votes on the DE2.

Committee staff opened with a line-by-line spreadsheet walkthrough of Article 1 of the DE2 amendment, comparing the governor's recommendations (shaded columns) with the House proposal. The walkthrough identified additions to agency bases, program transfers (including fraud investigators moved into the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension), and a set of operating adjustments. Committee members were told the House package adds $50,000,000 per biennium above the February forecast, well below the operating-adjustment totals described in the governor's budget materials.

The difference matters because testimony from agency leaders and labor representatives described immediate operational impacts. Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Department of Public Safety told the committee the department's top priority was the operating adjustment, which pays salaries, rent, information technology and other ongoing costs. Jacobson said the proposed House-level adjustments risked cuts of sworn peace officer positions in the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, could leave the new statewide emergency operations center unaffordable when it opens later this spring, and would hinder federal grant administration at a time when some federal grants have been paused or canceled. \"I am hopeful that this committee will adopt the amendment to include the agency wide GRAMa administration authority,\" Jacobson said, arguing for resources to administer and oversee grants.

Paul Schnell, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, said the department's requested operating adjustment was much larger than the amount in the DE2 package and that funding at the proposed level would force layoffs and reductions that would undermine safety and programming inside facilities. \"At this funding level, the DOC will struggle to maintain safe staffing levels,\" Schnell said. He warned of potential facility lockdowns, increased idleness and reduced programming, and called such outcomes \"warehousing,\" which he described as counterproductive to public safety.

Representatives of labor and local government echoed those concerns. Devin Bruce of MAPE and Ethan Vogel of AFSCME Council 5 described effects on rehabilitation services, evidence testing and other day-to-day operations. Emilio Lamba of the Association of Minnesota Counties urged full funding of the community supervision formula to support counties carrying out probation and supervised-release responsibilities for roughly 95,000 people.

Committee staff repeatedly noted the committee is not taking final action on the bill during this hearing; members will continue amendment debate and vote on the DE2 at a later meeting. Representative Fice moved to approve the committee minutes from 04/02/2025 earlier in the meeting; the voice motion passed.

The committee discussion also recorded numerous line items and one-time additions in Article 1, including operating adjustments for Homeland Security and Emergency Management, additions to urban search-and-rescue and hazardous-materials response teams, and funding for intensive peace-officer training (IC POET). The staff spreadsheet referenced a proposed transfer of $1,815,000 for fraud and financial crimes activity into the BCA and a proposed creation of a crime victims special revenue account funded by new surcharges and assessments.

The committee adjourned with plans to resume amendment work the following day and with staff materials and written testimony left on members' desks for the next hearing.
