The proposed bill introduces comprehensive reforms to Minnesota's criminal justice and public safety systems, focusing on various aspects such as sentencing, expungement, clemency, and community supervision. It establishes new offices, including the Office for Missing and Murdered African American Women and the Office of Restorative Practices, while allocating significant funding for public safety initiatives, youth intervention programs, and mental health services. Key provisions include the establishment of a Domestic Violence Housing First grant program, automatic expungements for eligible individuals, and the creation of special revenue accounts for violent crime reduction. The bill also emphasizes the importance of culturally competent crime prevention programs and mandates studies on pretrial release practices and illicit drug use.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to enhance penalties for bias-motivated crimes, trafficking, and organized retail theft, while introducing new definitions and provisions related to privacy violations and the use of deep fake technology. It establishes a Clemency Review Commission to oversee clemency applications and mandates the automatic sealing of records related to pardoned offenses. The legislation also addresses the treatment of incarcerated individuals, particularly those with mental health issues, and enhances the accountability of law enforcement agencies. Overall, the bill aims to improve public safety, support vulnerable populations, and create a more rehabilitative and equitable criminal justice system in Minnesota.
