The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 244.46, subdivision 1, to modify the policy regarding earned compliance credit and supervision abatement status for individuals under supervision. It mandates that the commissioner adopt a policy that considers an individual's efforts to pay restitution when determining eligibility for earned compliance credits and transition to supervision abatement status. Specifically, individuals who have the ability to pay restitution but choose not to will be ineligible for this status.

Additionally, the bill outlines that individuals are eligible for supervision abatement status once their time served on active supervision, combined with earned compliance credits, equals the total length of their supervised release term. However, the commissioner retains the authority to deny this status if it poses a risk to public safety, taking into account various factors such as the individual's behavior and stability. For those with lifetime conditional release terms, a minimum of ten years of active supervision and earned compliance credits is required for eligibility. The new provisions will take effect on September 1, 2026.
