Bill > SF78

This bill expands the list of individuals who are ineligible for earned incentive release credits under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. Specifically, the bill adds people serving sentences for certain serious crimes to the existing list of ineligible persons, which previously included those serving life sentences, those with indeterminate sentences for crimes committed before April 30, 1980, and those subject to good time laws. The newly ineligible categories include individuals convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and second-degree manslaughter. These changes mean that people convicted of these specific types of homicide will no longer be able to earn incentive release credits, which are typically used to reduce prison sentences for good behavior. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted, potentially impacting how sentences are served for these specific criminal offenses going forward.
