Bill > HF963

This bill modifies Minnesota's criminal justice regulations regarding earned incentive credits and supervision for individuals on supervised release. Specifically, the bill allows the Commissioner of Corrections to revoke earned compliance credits (a one-month reduction from active supervision for every two months of good behavior) if an individual violates facility rules or commits a criminal act while incarcerated. The bill changes existing law to make earned incentive release credits revocable, whereas previously they were considered nonrevocable. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to adopt a policy for earned compliance credits and supervision abatement status, with discretion to deny supervision abatement based on public safety considerations. The commissioner must now weigh factors such as the individual's stability, behavior, and overall adjustment before placing someone on supervision abatement status. For individuals with lifetime conditional release terms, they must serve at least ten years of active supervision before becoming eligible for supervision abatement. The bill maintains that earned incentive release credits cannot reduce an incarcerated person's sentence to less than half of their original executed sentence, and the maximum credits that can be earned remain capped at 17 percent of the total executed sentence.
