The Minnesota House passed House File 1354, a public‑safety policy package, after the author, Representative Moller (Ramsey), described several bipartisan provisions and the inclusion of other bills previously approved on the floor. Members voted 133–1 to pass the measure as amended.
Representative Moller told members the bill included four new or highlighted provisions: expanded school safety and threat reporting so students and community members can report threats digitally through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension system; a requirement that county jails ensure people in custody have access to their prescribed medications; protections to allow victims of domestic violence to maintain confidentiality in communications with advocates; and a refinement to state law requiring agencies to publish only the portions of body‑camera and squad‑camera footage that are directly related to an officer‑involved death rather than every piece of footage from a scene.
Other lawmakers praised inclusion of earlier floor measures and singled out provisions that extend criminal penalties for trafficking, enhance protections for judges and standardize missing‑endangered‑person alerts. Co‑chairs and committee members emphasized the package’s bipartisan work and said the bill contains both policy clarifications and some targeted spending to support victim services and related programs.
The clerk read the third reading and recorded 133 ayes and 1 nay, and the bill passed as amended. Supporters said the legislation combines technical fixes and new protections to improve public‑safety response and victim protections around the state.
