Consecutive sentences requirement for assaults committed by certain inmates of local facilities

Related bill: HF135

AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill, S.F. No. 1330, proposes an amendment to the public safety laws of Minnesota, specifically targeting how sentences are handled for inmates who commit assaults while incarcerated. The bill mandates that if an inmate in a state correctional facility or a local correctional facility (like a county jail) is convicted of assault under specified sections while imprisoned, the sentence for this assault will be served consecutively. This means that the punishment for the assault will not begin until after the inmate has completed serving the sentence for their initial crime. Also, inmates will not receive credit for time already served when the new sentence for the assault begins. The aim is to enforce stricter penalties for inmates who commit assaults, particularly against law enforcement officers like county sheriffs or deputies.
