Minnesota HF815 requires individuals who steal firearms to report the theft to law enforcement and appropriates funds for a reporting system.

Minnesota HF815 mandates that anyone who steals a firearm must promptly report the theft to law enforcement. The bill also includes penalties for non-compliance, escalating from a petty misdemeanor for the first offense to a gross misdemeanor for subsequent offenses. Additionally, it appropriates funds from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety for a reporting system overseen by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. This system is designed to ensure that chiefs of police and sheriffs can report stolen firearms within seven days of receiving notification of the theft.
