The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 244.44, to grant the commissioner of corrections the authority to revoke earned incentive credits that are awarded under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. This change allows for the revocation of credits if an incarcerated individual violates facility rules or commits a criminal act while in custody.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while earned incentive release credits are included in calculating the term of imprisonment, they do not extend the supervised release term, which remains unchanged. The maximum earned credit that can be applied is 17 percent of the total executed sentence, and it cannot reduce the term of imprisonment to less than half of the executed sentence. The previous language indicating that earned credits were "nonrevocable" has been deleted, reflecting the new revocation authority.
