Minnesota HF900 establishes the CIVIL Act, allowing counties to opt out of enforcing laws conflicting with the federal constitution or federal law.
Minnesota HF900, known as the Constitutional Integrity and Values in Law (CIVIL) Act, allows a county to designate itself as a constitutional county through a resolution. The county's chief clerical officer must file this resolution with the secretary of state. A constitutional county can choose not to allocate funds, employees, property, or other resources to enforce any law, rule, or regulation that conflicts with the federal constitution or federal law. This act takes effect the day after final enactment.
