MOTIONS AND
RESOLUTIONS
House
Resolution No. 1 was reported to the House.
HOUSE
RESOLUTION No. 1
A House resolution declaring racism a public health crisis.
Whereas, race is a social construct with no biological basis; and
Whereas, racism is embedded in the foundation of America, beginning with chattel slavery in 1619; and
Whereas, much of the Black experience in America has been endured under slavery and Jim Crow, which created preferential opportunities for white people while subjecting people of color to hardships and disadvantages in every area of life; and
Whereas, public health disparities have persisted for over 400 years and there are long-standing, unaddressed disparities as well as systemic racism and other socioeconomic inequities; and
Whereas, the American Public Health Association defines racism as a social system with multiple dimensions: individual racism is internalized or interpersonal, and systemic racism is institutional or structural. Systemic racism is a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks that unfairly disadvantages some individuals and communities, unfairly advantages other individuals and communities, and saps the strength of the whole society through the waste of human resources; and
Whereas, racism is complex and it is imperative to employ an intersectional lens and approach that considers the unique ways that racism intersects with disabilities, immigration, gender, documentation status, and LGBTQ+ communities; and
Whereas, racism causes persistent racial discrimination in housing, education,
employment, and criminal justice; and
Whereas, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, and the American Public Health Association recognize that racism is a social determinant of health that has a profound impact across the lifespan of an individual and that failure to address racism is an urgent public health issue that will exacerbate and perpetuate existing health inequities; and
Whereas, more than 100 studies have linked racism to worse health outcomes; and
Whereas, in Minnesota the highest excess death rates exist for Black and Indigenous communities, at every age demographic; and
Whereas, Minnesota must address persistent disparities in health outcomes and the social, economic, educational, and environmental inequities that contribute to them; and
Whereas, while there is no epidemiologic definition of crisis, the health impact of racism clearly rises to the definition proposed by Sandro Galea: "The problem must affect large numbers of people, it must threaten health over the long-term, and must require the adoption of large-scale solutions"; and
Whereas, racism is a public health crisis affecting our entire state and a comprehensive and intersectional approach is necessary to address the crisis, Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that it declares racism a public health crisis; and
Be It Further Resolved, based upon this affirmation, the Minnesota House of Representatives will actively participate in the dismantling of racism by:
Collaborating with the state's law and justice agencies and the community to work to ensure public confidence that public safety is administered equitably;
Studying, evaluating, and conducting an assessment of the existing policies and practices of the Minnesota House of Representatives through an intersectional lens of racial equity, setting measurable goals to advance equity through these policies and practices;
Conducting an assessment related to all human resources, vendor selection, including reviewing internal processes and practices related to hiring, promotions, and leadership appointments;
Enhancing data-driven education efforts on understanding, addressing, and dismantling racism, and how racism affects public health, family stability, early childhood education, economic development, public safety, housing, and the delivery of human services;
Supporting local, regional, and federal initiatives that advance efforts to dismantle systemic racism, partnering with local organizations with a demonstrated track record of confronting racism, and meaningfully engaging with communities of color;
Convening a House Select Committee on Minnesota's response to addressing racism as a public health crisis to ensure House legislative efforts are analyzed through an intersectional race equity lens; and
Hereby encouraging the Governor and the Senate to also adopt resolutions affirming that racism is a public health crisis resulting in disparities in family stability, health and mental wellness, education, employment, economic development, public safety, criminal justice, and housing.

1 be now adopted.

Subd. 1a. Legislative
intent. The legislature
hereby finds and declares the following:
(1) that the authority to use deadly
force, conferred on peace officers by this section, is a critical
responsibility that shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human
rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life. The legislature further finds and declares
that every person has a right to be free from excessive use of force by
officers acting under color of law;
(2) as set forth below, it is the
intent of the legislature that peace officers use deadly force only when
necessary in defense of human life or to prevent great bodily harm. In determining whether deadly force is
necessary, officers shall evaluate each situation in light of the particular
circumstances of each case;
(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
(4) that peace officers should exercise
special care when interacting with individuals with known physical, mental
health, developmental, or intellectual disabilities as an individual's
disability may affect the individual's ability to understand or comply with
commands from peace officers.

deadly force. (a)
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.06 or 609.065, the use of deadly
force by a peace officer in the line of duty is justified only when if
an objectively reasonable officer would believe, based on the totality of the
circumstances known to the officer at the time and without the benefit of hindsight,
that such force is necessary:
(1) to protect the peace officer or
another from apparent death or great bodily harm, provided that the
threat:
(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
(iii) must be addressed through the use
of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
(2) to effect the arrest or capture, or
prevent the escape, of a person whom the peace officer knows or has reasonable
grounds to believe has committed or attempted to commit a felony involving
the use or threatened use of deadly force; or and the officer reasonably
believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another
person under the threat criteria in clause (1), items (i) to (iii), unless
immediately apprehended.
(3) to effect the arrest or capture, or
prevent the escape, of a person whom the officer knows or has reasonable
grounds to believe has committed or attempted to commit a felony if the officer
reasonably believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm if
the person's apprehension is delayed.
(b)
A peace officer shall not use deadly force against a person based on the danger
the person poses to self if an objectively reasonable officer would believe,
based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time and
without the benefit of hindsight, that the person does not pose a threat of
death or great bodily harm to the peace officer or to another under the threat
criteria in paragraph (a), clause (1), items (i) to (iii).

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
(2) suggest best practices that should
be considered for future responses in the event of civil unrest.
EFFECTIVE
DATE. This section is
effective August 1, 2020.
Sec. 27. APPROPRIATION.
$250,000 in fiscal year 2021 is appropriated from the general fund to the Minnesota Supreme Court on a onetime basis for costs associated with the Civil Unrest Investigatory Commission."
