The Minnesota Senate approved a modest set of police accountability measures early Wednesday that s part of a broader public safety budget bill, as the state s divided Legislature put itself on pace to avert a partial state government shutdown.
The Senate s 45-21 vote followed a 75-59 vote in the Minnesota House on Tuesday night, and it came on the heels of last week s sentencing of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin to 22 1/2 years for murder in the death of George Floyd. The bill attracted Republican support in both chambers, while some Democrats who said it didn t go far enough voted no. It now goes to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz for his signature.
