Minnesota Correctional Facility-Shakopee requirement that the commissioner of corrections to house only biological female inmates provision

This bill (SF 1295) amends Minnesota law to require the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Shakopee to house only biological female inmates. It specifies that the facility can only accept inmates committed by courts who are biological females, and the commissioner must transfer any non-biological female inmates there within seven days of the bill's enactment. The requirement expires on January 1, 2026, and applies only to this specific facility. The bill directly affects inmates housed at Shakopee and the commissioner of corrections, who must implement the policy change.
