Summary

The chair of the Advisory Committee on Capital Area Security invoked Minnesota Statute 13D.05 subdivision 3(d) and Minn. Stat. 13.37 to enter a closed session to review classified operational findings from the full security assessment, citing risk to Capitol safety if details were public.

Madam Chair announced the committee would transition to a closed session under Minnesota statute to discuss secure operational findings from the full capital security assessment.

The chair cited Minn. Stat. 13D.05, subdivision 3(d), authorizing closed sessions to discuss sensitive security details, and said detailed operational findings in the full report are classified as nonpublic under Minn. Stat. 13.37 because disclosure could jeopardize Capitol security and the safety of individuals who work in and visit the complex.

The committee stated it would reconvene in the public room after the closed session to hold a vote on whether certain provisions of the report's public executive summary should be included among ACAS recommendations.
