This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 244.05, subdivision 6, to require that all level III predatory offenders placed on intensive supervised release must be subject to electronic surveillance. The bill outlines that the commissioner of corrections is responsible for implementing this requirement, which is part of the conditions of release for these offenders. Additionally, it specifies that electronic surveillance must be activated before the inmate is released from custody, and the inmate's residence must be equipped to support this surveillance.

Furthermore, the bill includes an appropriation of funds from the general fund to the commissioner of corrections to facilitate the implementation of these changes, with an effective date of August 1, 2025, for offenders placed on intensive supervised release on or after that date. The bill also maintains existing provisions regarding conditions of release, including unannounced searches and participation in sex offender programs, while introducing new requirements specifically for electronic surveillance.
