Bill > SF816

This bill sets the maximum term of incarceration for a gross misdemeanor at 364 days, down from the previous one year maximum. It amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes to reflect this change, including the definitions of "felony" and "gross misdemeanor", sentencing provisions, and alternative placements for offenders with serious and persistent mental illness. The bill also includes an effective date provision and instructs the revisor of statutes to make the necessary technical changes throughout the statutory language to reflect the new 364-day maximum for gross misdemeanors.
