Conditional medical release expanded to include geriatric and nonmedical release, and report required.

This bill expands conditional release options in Minnesota prisons to include geriatric release for older inmates, family caregiver release for those caring for incapacitated relatives, and nonmedical release for extraordinary circumstances like terminal illness or pregnancy. It directly affects incarcerated individuals who meet specific age, medical, or family care criteria, allowing them to apply for supervised release from prison. The bill requires prison officials to review applications within 30 days, consider factors like offense severity and community safety, and maintain a public database tracking all requests and outcomes. A report on release data and cost savings must be submitted to the legislature annually starting in 2028. All provisions take effect on July 1, 2026.
