The bill establishes the Task Force on Mandatory Minimum Sentences in Minnesota, which is tasked with collecting and analyzing data related to the charging, convicting, and sentencing of individuals subject to mandatory minimum sentences. The task force will assess whether current laws promote public safety and equity in sentencing and will make recommendations to the legislature based on its findings. The bill defines "mandatory minimum" and outlines the composition of the task force, which includes various stakeholders such as the commissioner of corrections, public defenders, county attorneys, and representatives from victims' rights and civil rights organizations.

Additionally, the task force is required to meet regularly, collect data on various aspects of mandatory minimum sentencing, and consider the implications of current statutes and practices. It must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by January 15, 2026, after which the task force will expire. The bill emphasizes the importance of gathering input from affected individuals and analyzing the impact of mandatory minimum sentences on public safety and justice.
