Senate File No. 261 is a legislative bill in Minnesota that proposes to modify the rules for running for certain local offices including county, municipal, and school board positions. Specifically, the bill seeks to amend existing statutes by adding a new requirement that any candidate for these offices must not have been convicted of making terroristic threats, as defined under Minnesota law (section 609.713). This new rule, if enacted, would be a prerequisite for eligibility to run for these local government positions.
