The bill proposes an appropriation of $1 million from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, specifically allocating $500,000 for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support The Redemption Project. This initiative aims to assist justice-impacted individuals by providing them with programming designed to reduce incarceration rates and facilitate their transition from incarceration back into the community. The funding will be used for virtue-based education, mentoring, support services, and employment services, all grounded in core correctional practices.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that states the appropriations will be added to the base budget of the Department of Corrections. The effective date for this section of the bill is set for the day following its final enactment.
