HF 533 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Earned incentive release credit exclusions expanded.

HF 533 expands Minnesota's list of offenses that disqualify incarcerated individuals from earning an early release credit based on good behavior. The bill adds specific crimes to the existing exclusions, including certain murders, violent sexual offenses, gang-related crimes, drug trafficking with mandatory minimums, and offenses involving weapons against staff. This directly affects prisoners convicted of these added offenses who would otherwise qualify for the earned incentive release credit under Minnesota Statutes section 244.45. The change makes it harder for individuals convicted of these specific crimes to reduce their sentences through good conduct while incarcerated.
