Bill > HF1466

This bill expands the list of individuals who are ineligible for earned incentive release credits under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. Specifically, the bill adds people serving sentences for certain serious homicide-related offenses to the existing list of those who cannot receive these credits. The newly ineligible categories include individuals convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and second-degree manslaughter. Previously, the list of ineligible individuals was limited to those serving life sentences, those with indeterminate sentences for crimes committed before April 30, 1980, and those subject to good time provisions. By adding these specific murder and manslaughter offenses to the ineligibility list, the bill effectively restricts the ability of individuals convicted of these serious crimes to earn early release credits, potentially ensuring that they serve more of their original sentenced time. The bill will become effective the day after it is enacted into law.
