AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill, authored by Rarick, proposes an amendment to the existing Minnesota statutes specifically to section 244.44 regarding Earned Incentive Release Credits under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. The key changes introduced by this bill are:
- Authority for the Commissioner of Corrections to revoke earned incentive credits. Previously, once these credits were earned, they were non-revocable.
- Conditions for revocation include violations of facility rules or the commission of a criminal act while incarcerated.
The bill maintains that earned incentive release credits can be used to reduce the term of imprisonment but not the total length of supervised release term, which remains unchanged. It specifies that the maximum reduction from the term of imprisonment through these credits cannot exceed 17% of the total executed sentence, and cannot reduce the term of imprisonment to less than half of the executed sentence.
