AI Generated Summary
This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1288) proposes increasing presumptive sentences for certain criminal sexual conduct offenses. It directs the Sentencing Guidelines Commission to raise the presumptive sentence durations for violations of specified Minnesota statutes (§§ 609.342–609.3458) by 25%. However, this increase does not apply in cases where the offender is or was recently in a position of authority over the victim for specific offenses (§§ 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, and 609.345). The sentencing changes must be incorporated into the 2025 sentencing grid, take effect on August 1, 2025, and apply to crimes committed on or after that date.
