Bill > SF320

This bill establishes restrictions for undocumented noncitizens in the criminal justice system by preventing them from receiving early release or sentence adjustments. Specifically, the bill defines an "undocumented offender" as a noncitizen residing in the United States without approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services who has been committed to the corrections system. Under this legislation, such individuals would be ineligible for various early release programs, including supervised release, conditional medical release, the challenge incarceration program, and earned incentive release credits. The bill mandates that undocumented offenders must serve their full term of imprisonment and complete any disciplinary confinement periods before being released. Additionally, the bill prohibits undocumented noncitizens from receiving sentence adjustments under existing law. These provisions aim to modify current practices related to incarceration and sentencing for undocumented individuals, effectively removing alternative release mechanisms that might be available to other inmates. The bill would take effect the day after its final enactment, immediately impacting how undocumented offenders are processed within the Minnesota corrections system.
