This bill addresses various aspects of corrections in Minnesota, including clarifying reporting requirements related to community supervision and exempting federal law enforcement agents from the definition of protective agents. It amends several sections of the Minnesota Statutes, specifically sections 326.338, 401.10, and 401.17, while also repealing obsolete laws concerning the civil commitment of incarcerated individuals with mental illness, specifically sections 253.21 and 253.23. The amendments include changes to the composition of the Community Supervision Advisory Committee, ensuring it reflects geographic and demographic diversity, and updating the reporting requirements for the commissioner regarding community supervision data.

Key changes include the addition of new members to the advisory committee, such as judicial representatives and a prosecutor, and the requirement for the committee to standardize data classifications across community supervision systems. The bill also mandates that the commissioner analyze collected data by race, gender, and county, including Tribal Nations, and specifies a new deadline for data collection reporting. The repeal of the civil commitment laws aims to eliminate outdated procedures that are no longer applicable to the current correctional system.
