Minnesota SF5038 establishes a onetime aid to reimburse cities for costs related to federal immigration enforcement actions.

Minnesota SF5038 creates a onetime aid program to reimburse cities for costs incurred due to federal immigration enforcement actions. Cities can report eligible costs, which include operating and capital expenses for public safety, emergency management, public works, and legal counsel. The state auditor certifies these costs, excluding any deemed inaccurate, ineligible, or unrelated to federal enforcement actions. The commissioner of revenue calculates and pays the aid by December 26, 2026, using a $10,000,000 appropriation from the general fund.
