The bill proposes the repeal of Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 299A.707, which establishes the community justice reinvestment account within the special revenue fund. This account was intended to provide grants for local governments and nonprofit organizations to support programs aimed at substance use disorder and mental health treatment, improve supervision, and reduce recidivism among controlled substances offenders. The bill eliminates the account and its associated funding mechanisms, including the annual transfer of $461,000 from the general fund to the account.

By repealing this statute, the bill effectively removes the framework for the grant program that was previously administered by the commissioner of public safety through the Office of Justice Programs. This change signifies a shift in the state's approach to funding community justice initiatives, as it discontinues the allocation of resources that were aimed at enhancing public safety through treatment and supervision programs.
