Strengthens court procedures for address disclosure by requiring written findings, 30-day enforcement delay after serving the Secretary of State, and granting the Secretary standing to intervene in proceedings involving potential disclosure

Mandates executive branch agencies designate a Safe at Home coordinator by August 1, 2026, and requires district court judges and peace officers to complete training on the Safe at Home program (minimum one hour for law enforcement)

Increases criminal penalties so that violations of the Safe at Home chapter causing bodily harm constitute a felony, and allows Safe at Home cards to serve as proof of Minnesota residence for driver's license applications
