AI Generated Summary

Senate File No. 1365 is a proposed legislative bill in Minnesota that seeks to expand the list of individuals who are not eligible to receive earned incentive release credits, which are reductions in prison time for good behavior. Specifically, the bill identifies various offenders, including those serving life sentences, those with indeterminate sentences for crimes before a certain date, and those serving sentences for specific severe crimes such as murder, serious assaults, and certain sex offenses, among others. This expansion means that individuals convicted of these offenses would not be eligible for early release based on good behavior while in prison. The bill was introduced and referred to the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee for further consideration.
