Bill > HF1769

This bill modifies the funding formula for community supervision in Minnesota, updating how counties and Tribal Nations receive financial support for probation and supervision services. The bill changes the calculation method from using a single year's population to using a three-year average population from probation surveys, while maintaining a base funding amount of $150,000 for each county or Tribal Nation. It introduces a more stable funding mechanism by averaging population data and ensures that no county receives less funding than in the previous fiscal year until June 30, 2029. For Tribal Nations, the bill provides an annual $250,000 allotment for probation services and allows them to become part of the community supervision system with adjusted funding. Additionally, the bill appropriates $12,662,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund to the Department of Corrections specifically to fully fund this new probation funding formula, ensuring that counties and Tribal Nations receive adequate resources to support their community supervision programs.
