Senate Bill S.F. No. 1371 pertains to public safety and seeks to mandate legislative approval for any proposed changes to the Sentencing Guidelines in Minnesota. Specifically, this involves adjustments related to the Sentencing Guidelines grid, which could influence severity levels, criminal history scores, or potentially reduce sentences or allow for the early release of inmates. These modifications would need to be presented to the legislature by January 15 of any given year in which changes are desired, and they wouldn't take effect until August 1 of that year unless the legislature decides otherwise. All other modifications by the commission would proceed based on existing procedural rules. Additionally, the commission must annually report to the senate and house committees overseeing criminal justice policy, detailing their activities and any changes made or proposed during the preceding year.
