Bill > SF1103

This bill repeals the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act (MRRA), which was a comprehensive set of statutes designed to encourage and support rehabilitation for incarcerated individuals. Specifically, the bill eliminates sections 244.40 through 244.51 of Minnesota Statutes and certain provisions from Laws 2023, effectively removing the entire framework for earned incentive release credits, earned compliance credits, and supervision abatement status that were previously established. The repealed act had outlined a process for comprehensive assessments of incarcerated individuals, development of individualized rehabilitation plans, and a mechanism for inmates to earn credits that could reduce their time of imprisonment and supervised release. Additionally, the bill removes provisions related to victim notification and input, and changes some language in related statutes about rehabilitative programs and supervised release. The repeal means that the previous rehabilitation-focused approach to corrections will no longer be in effect, potentially changing how inmates are managed and potentially reducing opportunities for early release based on rehabilitation efforts.
