Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to corrections; clarifying reporting requirements related to community supervision; exempting federal law enforcement agents who transport persons from definition of protective agent; repealing obsolete civil commitment law regarding incarcerated individuals with mental illness; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 326.338, subdivision 4; 401.10, subdivision 4; 401.17, subdivisions 1, 5; repealing Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 253.21; 253.23.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Minnesota's statutes related to community supervision, protective agents, and reporting requirements. It modifies the definition of a protective agent to explicitly exempt federal law enforcement agents who transport individuals, updates reporting requirements for the Department of Corrections by changing the frequency and content of annual reports on community supervision, and expands the Community Supervision Advisory Committee to include more diverse representation from judicial, prosecutorial, and defense perspectives. The bill also standardizes data collection methods across community supervision systems, requiring more comprehensive and nuanced reporting on supervision outcomes, including breakdowns by race, gender, and county. Additionally, the bill repeals two obsolete sections of law related to the civil commitment of prisoners with mental illness, which appear to be outdated procedures for transferring and managing mentally ill inmates between correctional facilities and mental health treatment centers. These changes aim to improve transparency, enhance the understanding of community supervision practices, and streamline legal frameworks related to corrections and mental health management.
