This bill amends existing legislation regarding retroactive relief for certain felony murder convictions in Minnesota. It clarifies the criteria under which a petitioner may be entitled to relief, specifically for violations of Minnesota Statutes, section 609.185 and section 609.19. The bill outlines the necessary evidence a petitioner must present to demonstrate that they did not cause the death of a human being or were not a major participant in the underlying felony. It also details the court's responsibilities in determining eligibility for relief, including the issuance of orders for resentencing or vacating convictions.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language that mandates the court to ensure that any new conviction entered under this subdivision retains the original conviction date. If there has been a prior inconsistency in the conviction date, the court is required to correct it upon notification. The bill is set to take effect the day following its final enactment.
