The bill amends the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act by expanding the list of individuals who are ineligible for earned incentive release credit. Specifically, it adds a new category of ineligibility for those serving sentences for serious violent crimes, including second degree murder, third degree murder, first degree manslaughter, and second degree manslaughter. This change is reflected in the amendments to Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 244.45 and 244.46, where the previous language regarding ineligibility is updated to include this new provision.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the amendments will take effect the day following final enactment. The changes aim to enhance public safety by ensuring that individuals convicted of particularly severe offenses are not eligible for early release incentives, thereby reinforcing the consequences of such crimes within the state's correctional system.
