Bill
SF 719
Proposes Minnesota constitutional amendment explicitly protecting the right to keep and bear arms, requiring legislative passage and voter approval before implementation.
SF 719 proposes a constitutional amendment to Article I of the Minnesota Constitution explicitly protecting an individual's right to keep and bear arms. The amendment would need to pass both chambers of the legislature and be approved by Minnesota voters before taking effect. This would constitute a direct addition to Minnesota's state constitution regarding Second Amendment protections.
Minnesota currently lacks an explicit state constitutional right to bear arms, unlike many other states. A successful amendment would provide state-level constitutional protection independent of federal interpretation, potentially affecting gun regulation authority at the state and local levels. This could significantly impact future firearms legislation, licensing requirements, and local ordinances in Minnesota.
