The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 401.10, subdivision 1, to revise the community supervision funding formula. It establishes a new calculation method for determining the community supervision subsidy for counties and Tribal Nations, replacing the previous per diem rates based on current populations with a formula that uses the average total population over the last three years. The new formula includes a base funding amount of $150,000 and adjusts the funding based on the average populations of individuals with felony sentences, gross misdemeanors, and juvenile probation, multiplied by a per diem rate of $5.62 and then by 365 to determine the total annual allocation.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $12,662,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of corrections to support the revised funding formula. This appropriation aims to fully fund the community supervision formula as calculated using the new rates and population estimates, and it is added to the Department of Corrections' base budget. The bill also includes provisions for adjusting funding based on appropriations and sets a deadline for certain funding adjustments to expire on June 30, 2029.
