This legislative bill from the State of Minnesota proposes that individuals who are convicted of certain sex trafficking offenses, particularly those involving minors under 18 years old, must face stricter mandatory minimum prison sentences. The bill modifies existing laws to include these tougher penalties. Specifically, it details that:

1. Anyone involved in soliciting, inducing, promoting, or profiting from the prostitution of individuals under 18, or engaging in sex trafficking of minors, may face a maximum of 25 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $50,000.
2. If aggravating factors are present (such as previous related offenses, physical harm to the victim, prolonged periods of forced labor, or multiple victims), the maximum penalties increase to 30 years in prison and/or a $60,000 fine.
3. The bill sets a guideline where courts are expected to impose minimum prison sentences of 10 years for the offenses listed under the initial conditions and 12 years if aggravating factors are present.

This bill aims to intensify the legal repercussions for those involved in serious crimes against minors in an effort to enhance public safety and deter human trafficking.
