Appropriate agencies required to destroy firearms subject to forfeiture that are not kept for a law enforcement purpose.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Public Safety Finance and Policy
Summary
The bill amends Minnesota’s forfeiture statutes so that agencies must destroy any firearms, ammunition, or accessories they decide not to retain for official use after a court orders forfeiture. It also limits who may purchase forfeited items and requires sales to be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The goal is to keep unwanted weapons out of circulation while preserving legitimate law‑enforcement needs.
