The bill aims to enhance public safety by increasing the presumptive sentences for various criminal sexual conduct offenses in Minnesota. Specifically, it directs the Sentencing Guidelines Commission to raise the presumptive sentence durations for violations of certain statutes by 25 percent. However, this increase will not apply to specific cases where the offender holds a recent or current position of authority over the victim, as outlined in the bill.

The implementation of these changes is mandated to occur in the 2025 sentencing grid, with an effective date of August 1, 2025, for crimes committed on or after that date. This legislative action reflects a commitment to addressing and strengthening penalties for serious sexual offenses in the state.
