Undocumented noncitizens made ineligible for early release from incarceration, and undocumented noncitizens made ineligible for prosecutor-initiated sentence adjustments.
HF 321 prohibits undocumented noncitizens who have been sentenced to prison from accessing early release programs and prosecutor-led sentence reductions. Specifically, it blocks eligibility for early supervised release, conditional medical release, earned incentive credits, and other programs that would shorten a prison term (Section 1). It also makes undocumented noncitizens ineligible for prosecutor-initiated sentence adjustments under Minnesota Statutes 609.133 (Section 2). This law directly affects individuals convicted of crimes and incarcerated in Minnesota who lack legal immigration status. The bill takes effect the day after final enactment.
