Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of the bill is to eliminate the Community Crime and Violence Prevention Account and transfer the remaining funds to Minnesota's general fund.

Main Provisions

• Elimination of Account: The bill proposes to dissolve the existing Community Crime and Violence Prevention Account.

• Transfer of Funds: It directs that the unspent amount in this account, specifically $42,000,000, will be transferred to the general fund. This means the funds will be redirected to a broader pool used for various state expenses.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The bill repeals specific sections of the 2023 law (Laws 2023 chapter 52, article 2, sections 12 and 13), which originally established the Community Crime and Violence Prevention Account. This effectively nullifies any ongoing or future allocations through this program.
