The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 244.18, to repeal the sunset provision for correctional fees and make adjustments to the definitions and reporting requirements related to these fees. It modifies subdivision 1 to clarify the definition of "correctional fees" and removes the temporary provisions that were set to expire on August 1, 2027. Additionally, subdivision 7 is amended to eliminate the expiration date for the annual report requirement, which mandates that the commissioner provide information on the types of correctional services for which fees were imposed, the total amount of fees imposed, and the amount collected.

Furthermore, the bill includes a repeal of subdivision 9, which previously outlined a plan for phasing out supervision fees by August 1, 2027. This repeal effectively removes the requirement for probation agencies to develop and submit plans for the gradual elimination of these fees, thereby allowing correctional fees to remain in place without a specified timeline for their reduction or elimination. Overall, the bill aims to maintain the current structure of correctional fees and reporting without the constraints of a sunset provision.
