Responsibilities of Department of Corrections licensed facilities clarified.
HF 1353 clarifies the responsibilities of Minnesota's Department of Corrections regarding licensed local correctional facilities. The bill requires the commissioner to inspect all licensed facilities at least once every two years, mandates public posting of inspection reports within 30 days, and specifies that facility administrators must provide requested data for critical incident reviews. It also changes inspection unit reporting to occur outside the correctional institutions division and repeals outdated or redundant provisions in existing law. This directly affects licensed local correctional facilities, their administrators, and the Department of Corrections' oversight process.
