The bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to corrections, specifically focusing on the revocation of earned incentive credits under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. It authorizes the commissioner of corrections to revoke these credits if an individual violates facility rules or commits a criminal act while incarcerated. The definition of "earned compliance credit" is updated to clarify that it is a one-month reduction for every two months of compliance with supervision conditions, and it introduces a requirement for the commissioner to consider public safety risks before granting supervision abatement status.

Additionally, the bill modifies the provisions regarding earned incentive release credits, stating that while these credits can reduce the term of imprisonment, they cannot shorten it to less than half of the executed sentence. It also establishes that individuals are eligible for supervision abatement status once their time served on active supervision, combined with earned compliance credits, meets the total length of their supervised release term. However, the commissioner retains the authority to deny this status if it poses a risk to public safety, particularly for individuals with lifetime conditional release terms, who must serve at least ten years before eligibility.
