This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 244.18, by repealing the sunset provision for correctional fees and making adjustments to the definitions and reporting requirements related to these fees. The definition of "correctional fees" is updated to remove the expiration date of August 1, 2027, which previously limited the application of these fees. Additionally, the bill modifies subdivision 7 to eliminate the expiration clause that required an annual report on the implementation of the commissioner's duties to be submitted until August 1, 2027.
Furthermore, the bill repeals subdivision 9 of section 244.18, which outlined a plan for phasing out supervision fees for individuals under probation agencies and the commissioner of corrections. This repeal removes the requirement for probation agencies to submit a written plan for phasing out these fees by August 1, 2025, and the associated review and approval process by the commissioner. Overall, the bill aims to continue the imposition of correctional fees without the previously established sunset provisions.
