Minnesota correctional industries program modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's correctional industries program to increase transparency and fairness when private businesses contract with inmate labor. It requires the Minnesota Correctional Industries (MINNCOR) to separately track wages paid under the federal Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program and non-certified wages, while prohibiting the use of blended wage rates to calculate contract profitability. The legislation also mandates that MINNCOR cannot subsidize private businesses using inmate confinement costs, must charge fair market value for using Department of Corrections facilities, and must verify that contracts do not displace existing private sector workers in the region. Additionally, MINNCOR must post regional PIECP wage rates on its website and include detailed financial reports on how confinement costs affect its operations.
