Sponsored by Rep. Joe Hoppe (R-Chaska),HF1397 was passed, as amended, 127-2 by the House Thursday and heads to the Senate where Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) is the sponsor.
The bill comes in response to Syed Farook’s shooting rampage in San Bernardino, Calif., in December 2015 that killed 14 people and injured 22. Authorities suggest Farook made sure his life insurance policies worth $275,000 were valid before the incident.
