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 ordering this surveillance as part of the offenders' release conditions. Additionally, it specifies that the commissioner may impose various conditions of release, including unannounced searches, compliance with restitution, random drug testing, and participation in sex offender programs. The bill also establishes requirements for the inmate's residence and telecommunications system to support electronic surveillance before their release.

Furthermore, the bill includes an appropriation of funds from the general fund to the commissioner of corrections to implement these changes, with a specified effective date of August 1, 2025, for offenders placed on intensive supervised release on or after that date. This legislative action aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that high-risk offenders are monitored while under community correctional supervision.
