This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 244.18, by repealing the sunset provision for correctional fees and making adjustments to the definitions and reporting requirements related to these fees. The definition of "correctional fees" is updated to remove the expiration date of August 1, 2027, which previously limited the applicability of these fees. Additionally, the bill modifies subdivision 7 to eliminate the expiration date for the annual report requirement, ensuring that the report on the implementation of the commissioner's duties regarding correctional fees continues indefinitely.
Furthermore, the bill repeals subdivision 9 of section 244.18, which contained a plan for phasing out supervision fees by August 1, 2027. This repeal means that there will no longer be a requirement for probation agencies to develop a plan to phase out these fees, nor will there be restrictions on increasing supervision fees during the specified period. Overall, the bill aims to maintain the current structure of correctional fees without the previously established sunset provisions.
