Modifies special peace officer provisions for the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to allow the secretary or the president of the Minnesota State Agriculture Society to appoint peace officers for the regulation of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. These officers must take an oath of office and have the power to arrest individuals violating state law or society rules. They can remove offenders and their property from the grounds and bring them before a court. The society can contract with state, county, or municipal police for protection, especially during major events with at least 2,500 attendees.
