(3) that the decision by a peace officer to use deadly force shall be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances known to or perceived by the officer at the time, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about using deadly force; and

(i) can be articulated with specificity by the law enforcement officer;

(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the law enforcement officer; and

Page 22, after line 21, insert:

"Sec. 24. CIVIL UNREST INVESTIGATORY COMMISSION.

Subdivision 1. Purpose; finding of facts and time line of public responses. (a) The legislature and governor of the state of Minnesota recognize that the civil unrest that occurred in Minnesota in May and June of 2020 raises questions about the nature of orders given, responses made, and actions taken by civil authorities. The Minnesota public lacks a comprehensive and accurate timeline of events and the role played in those events by local authorities, state military and police, appointed and elected officials, and all other responsible parties whose duties commanded the public response to the unprecedented events that tragically unfolded.

(b) Civil authorities remain actively engaged at this moment in time to perform ongoing duties and manage the ongoing public interests in responding to unrest, and to help affected citizens.

(c) However, the creation of an accurate timeline of civic responses is a crucial task that must be completed to provide confidence to the Minnesota public regarding the capacity of civil government in the current and future responses. Further, an investigation into decisions and actions cannot be undertaken by persons currently in state or local government, whose ongoing duties and past responsibilities render the persons too involved for dispassionate analysis.

(d) Therefore, a Civil Unrest Investigatory Commission is established to examine and create a public record of all actions, choices, orders, and responses by all local governments, police and military authorities, and elected officials who were crucial to the government's response to the civil unrest that unfolded in May and June 2020.

Subd. 2. Duties of commission. The commission must take public and private testimony, hold public meetings, construct a timeline of official responses and actions, and issue a public report with an accurate and dispassionate analysis of the responses of Minnesota appointed and elected officials.

Subd. 3. Cooperation. The commission must be given access to all records and documents held by any government entity that are in any way associated with the civil unrest of May and June 2020. Within legal and constitutional rights, all elected and appointed officials must cooperate with requests made by the commission.

Subd. 4. Data. All materials and information held by or created by the commission must be made public upon completion of the report required under this act.

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2020.

Sec. 25. COMMISSION STRUCTURE.

(a) The chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court must appoint a panel of ten neutral persons to constitute the Civil Unrest Investigatory Commission. Appointees must: (1) have no current involvement with any political party; (2) have played no role in the events of May and June 2020; and (3) have the highest personal probity and ability to command public confidence. Members must be chosen for expertise in management of public crises and knowledge of government responses to civil unrest.

(b) The commission must be established by August 15, 2020. The chief justice must designate one member of the panel to serve as chair.

(c) The chief justice must determine the pay and expenses received by the panel. A member's total pay, not including expenses, must not exceed $1,000.

(d) The Office of the Legislative Auditor is appropriated on an open and standing basis an amount of funds that are, in the determination of the chair of the commission, necessary to meet the panel's expenses to conduct duties under this act.

(e) The commission may issue subpoenas, take testimony under oath, and hire outside investigators and counsel.

(f) The legislative auditor must act as fiscal agent for the commission and must provide administrative support to the commission.

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2020.

Sec. 26. DUTIES AND REPORT.

(a) The Civil Unrest Investigatory Commission must:

(1) conduct and record interviews of all elected and appointed officials who played a role in the response to civil unrest as it occurred in May and June 2020;

(2) establish a timeline of decisions taken and choices made by elected officials;

(3) conduct a review of the responses of police, national guard, and other responders;

(4) create a timeline of events, with a detailed explanation of the choices made by public officials; and

(5) issue a report no later than December 15, 2020, with the commission's findings.

(b) The commission may:

(1) determine, if possible, whether actions taken were consistent with the duties of elected and appointed officials; and
