Federal law enforcement officers in Minnesota must meet state peace officer licensing standards.

This bill amends Minnesota law to require federal law enforcement officers performing duties in Minnesota to meet the minimum qualifications of a Peace Officer Standards and Training Board licensed peace officer. Federal officers must hold an associate's or bachelor's degree and meet the standards established by the board. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor, with repeat offenses being a gross misdemeanor. The board will designate a law enforcement agency to investigate violations, with the attorney general prosecuting these cases.
