Bill > SF3446

This bill addresses two specific financial claims against the state of Minnesota, appropriating funds for specific settlements in fiscal year 2026. First, the bill appropriates $65,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of management and budget for a full payment to the Vincent Beaulieu Estate under the Imprisonment and Exoneration Remedies Act, which provides compensation for individuals who have been wrongfully imprisoned. Second, the bill appropriates funds to the Department of Corrections for two separate claims: $849.86 for community service and sentence-to-service work claims that have already been paid by the department, and $6,531.25 specifically for payment to Victor Lynch for permanent injuries suffered while incarcerated or performing community service. Both appropriations are available until June 30, 2026, and are aimed at providing financial compensation for individuals who have experienced losses or injuries while in state custody or performing court-mandated community service.
