The bill aims to enhance public safety by establishing that undocumented noncitizens are ineligible for early release from incarceration and for prosecutor-initiated sentence adjustments. It introduces new legal language in Minnesota Statutes, specifically in chapter 244, which defines "undocumented offender" and outlines the restrictions on their eligibility for various forms of early release, including supervised release and earned incentive credits. The bill mandates that the commissioner of corrections must ensure that undocumented offenders complete their full term of imprisonment and any disciplinary confinement before being released.

Additionally, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 609.133, by adding a subdivision that explicitly states that undocumented noncitizens are ineligible for sentence adjustments. This provision reinforces the restrictions placed on undocumented offenders regarding their incarceration and potential sentence modifications. Both sections of the bill are set to take effect the day following final enactment.
