This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 609.115, to allow presentence investigation reports to include information related to brain injuries. Specifically, it requires courts to inquire about a felony defendant's history of stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). If such a history exists and the court believes it may have impaired the defendant's judgment at the time of the offense, the court must order a neuropsychological examination unless a recent examination has already been conducted.

The bill also allows courts to consider this medical information, along with recommendations from healthcare professionals, when determining an appropriate sentence. The goal is to assess whether a neurological condition substantially affected the defendant’s decision-making capacity during the offense.
