You are receiving this email because you have or have been registered to receive electronic rulemaking notices pertaining to the Minnesota POST Board, or because we believe you may be interested in possible rule changes on this topic.  

The Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST Board) intends to adopt rules without a public hearing, unless 25 or more hearing requests are received, following the procedures prescribed by the Office of Administrative Hearings, Minnesota Rules, parts 1400.2300 to 1400.2310, and the Administrative Procedure Act, Minnesota Statutes, sections 14.22 to 14.28. The official Dual Notice will be posted in the State Register on March 18, 2024. The proposed amendment will make violating any order issued by the Board a standards of conduct violation under Rule 6700.1600, item F. This provision existed in rule for nearly 26 years prior to the R4641 rulemaking process, during which the rule was inadvertently omitted.  

The POST Board is seeking comment on the proposed rules beginning on March 18, 2024. A draft of the rules and a copy of the Statement of Need and Reasonableness (SONAR) are posted on the Board’s website under Current Rulemaking Activity. Comments are due on April 19, 2024, by 4:30 p.m. to the agency contact person below. In addition to comments, respondents my submit a hearing request. Hearing requests must include the respondents name and address to count toward the 25 required for a hearing. You are also encouraged to state the reason for the request and any changes you want made to the proposed rules. See the notice in the State Register or the POST Board’s website for additional information.
