Amends Minnesota Statutes section 181.973 to prohibit peer counseling or debriefing information from being admissible as evidence in criminal, administrative, or civil proceedings involving the person being counseled or debriefed.

Expands confidentiality protections to cover all criminal, administrative, and civil proceedings, replacing the previous limitation to personnel or occupational licensing matters.

Allows peer counselors to disclose information if they reasonably believe the person may be a danger to self or others, but only for the purpose of eliminating that danger.

Requires chief law enforcement officers to report each incident of use of force resulting in serious bodily harm or death to the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension using a reporting form adopted by the superintendent.

Mandates the superintendent to summarize and analyze use of force information monthly and submit an annual written report to legislative committees with public safety jurisdiction, while forwarding data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
