Forensic navigator monitoring provided, Minnesota Competency Attainment Board provisions modified, and money appropriated.

HF 3070 modifies Minnesota's legal procedures for defendants found incompetent to stand trial. It establishes a new "forensic navigator" role to monitor defendants released pretrial while awaiting competency treatment, requiring courts to assess public safety risks before imposing supervision. The bill sets specific dismissal timelines for charges (30 days for misdemeanors, 3 years for felonies) unless prosecutors file a notice to prosecute upon competency, with exceptions for certain violent crimes like criminal vehicular homicide. It also requires courts to review release conditions if pretrial detention interferes with competency treatment and mandates bridge plans for defendants unlikely to regain competency. This affects criminal defendants, courts, prosecutors, and forensic navigators handling competency cases.
