Committee: Crime Prevention
Video Coverage: (Continued) Appropriation of money for the continued development of CriMNet, a statewide integrated criminal justice system.
About the Bill:
The CriMNet legislation is the second installment to the multi-year plan, also known as Katie's Law. Currently, Minnesota's criminal justice agencies do not use integrated systems or protocols to collect, store, or disseminate criminal justice data. This bill appropriates a total of $41.5 million to the Supreme Court, the Department of Safety, the BCA and the Department of Corrections for various CriMNet initiatives. Senator Jane Ranum, DFL-Minneapolis, sponsored Senate File 0038.

The bill passed and was re-referred to the Committee on Finance.
