The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 631.50, to enhance the reporting requirements for state and local institutions regarding suspected undocumented individuals. It mandates that when a person is housed in a publicly funded facility, the chief executive officer or officer in charge must inquire into the individual's nationality. If the person is identified as an undocumented alien, the officer is required to notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with specific details, including the date of conviction and the crime for which the individual was convicted, the length of commitment, the country of citizenship, and the date and port of entry into the United States.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for institutions housing individuals serving felony sentences. By September 1, 2025, the commissioner of corrections or relevant officers must inquire into the nationality of each person serving a felony sentence. If an undocumented alien is identified, the same notification protocol to ICE applies. The bill also removes references to mentally ill persons from the previous law, focusing solely on undocumented individuals and their reporting requirements.
