Minnesota bill mandates U.S. citizenship for peace officers.
The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require that peace officers be U.S. citizens. It prohibits the board from issuing a peace officer license to non-citizens, except for those licensed before July 1, 2025, who can continue to be licensed until June 30, 2027. The board must conduct background investigations to ensure applicants meet established standards, including U.S. citizenship. Law enforcement agencies can set higher standards if not contrary to law.
