This bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to corrections, specifically focusing on the earned incentive credits under the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. It authorizes the commissioner of corrections to revoke these earned credits if an individual violates facility rules or commits a criminal act while incarcerated. The bill modifies the definition of "earned compliance credit" to include criteria established by the commissioner and emphasizes the need to assess public safety risks before placing an individual on supervision abatement status.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that earned incentive release credits can reduce the term of imprisonment but cannot shorten the supervised release term, maintaining that the maximum credit earned cannot exceed 17% of the total executed sentence. It also stipulates 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 discretion 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.
