Criminal felony murder and aiding and abetting murder provisions modified, retroactive relief for aiding and abetting murder convictions authorized, and report required.

HF 1575 modifies Minnesota's felony murder and aiding and abetting murder laws to require a higher intent standard for conviction. It specifies that individuals can only be charged with aiding and abetting murder if they intentionally aided with the specific intent to cause death, not merely by participating in a felony. The bill authorizes retroactive relief for people convicted under previous standards who were found guilty without this intent requirement. It also revives a task force on aiding and abetting felony murder and mandates a report on its findings. These changes apply to crimes committed on or after August 1, 2025.
