ACTION ALERT MN VOTERS - Felony Murder Limitation Bill Hearing

Heidi • February 27, 2023

House File (HF) 1406 in Public Safety Committee Hearing Tomorrow 1030a CT

During the current Minnesota State Legislative session, Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota sponsors HF1406 in the Minnesota House of Representatives and companion bill SF1478 in the Senate, where liability for felony murder committed by another will be applied only if the person intentionally aided, advised, hired, counseled, or conspired with or otherwise procured the other with the intent to cause the death of another human being.


Tomorrow, HF1406 will have it's first hearing in the Minnesota House of Representatives Public Safety Committee starting at 1030am. The hearing is open to the public if you have time to help fill the room in support. Note - several bills will be heard, and there is no schedule as to when each bill is heard, so an exact time HF1406 will be heard can't be determined.


If you can't attend and you're a Minnesota voter, please turn up the volume and call your Minnesota State Legislator (legislator lookup) and inform them you're a voter in their district and ask them to support a yes vote on HF1406.
