Bill > SF2375

This bill modifies the eligibility criteria for the challenge incarceration program (CIP), which is a prison rehabilitation program, by expanding the list of offenders who cannot participate. The bill adds a new provision excluding offenders convicted of specific drug offenses under section 152.021, subdivision 1 (which typically involves controlled substance crimes), from program eligibility. The bill also renumbers the existing list of ineligible offenders while maintaining the original restrictions. These restrictions include offenders convicted of serious violent crimes like murder, sexual offenses, and assault; those with recent convictions for specific offenses; offenders required to register as sex offenders; those with active arrest warrants or detainers; inmates with less than 180 days remaining until supervised release; offenders who have recently been in disciplinary confinement or segregation; those with suspended formal disciplinary sanctions; and offenders whose governing sentence originated from another state or federal jurisdiction. The bill becomes effective the day after it is finally enacted, potentially making it more challenging for certain offenders to participate in the challenge incarceration program.
