Bill > SF4370

This bill clarifies the responsibilities of juvenile and adult community-based residential correctional facilities licensed by the Department of Corrections (DOC) in Minnesota. It establishes new sections outlining the scope, definitions, inspection, licensing, and data reporting requirements for these facilities, which are collectively referred to as "local correctional facilities." Key provisions include mandating biennial inspections, requiring public posting of inspection reports, and detailing procedures for issuing, renewing, and revoking licenses. The bill also specifies requirements for reporting deaths, critical incidents, and emergencies, and establishes death review teams for certain juvenile facilities. Furthermore, it introduces a security audit process for state correctional facilities, involving a dedicated audit group and biennial reports. The bill amends existing laws to align with these new provisions and repeals several outdated sections related to facility licensing and oversight.
