AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission to record and publicly share all of its meetings. Specifically, the commission must create visual and audio recordings of each meeting and make those recordings accessible to the public through the commission's website or via a link on the website. The bill maintains the existing requirements for the commission, which include meeting as necessary to modify and improve sentencing guidelines and submitting annual reports to legislative committees about any guideline modifications. The recording requirement is aimed at increasing transparency in the commission's proceedings, which play a critical role in determining sentencing standards for criminal cases in Minnesota. The new provisions will take effect the day after the bill is signed into law, ensuring immediate implementation of the public recording mandate.
