Consecutive sentences requirement for assaults committed by certain inmates of local facilities

SF 1330 requires that if an inmate in a county jail or similar local facility assaults a sheriff or deputy, the new sentence for the assault must run consecutively to any prior sentence. This means the person cannot have time served for earlier offenses counted toward the new assault sentence and must serve the full consecutive term in a state facility. The bill directly affects inmates in local correctional facilities who commit assaults against law enforcement officers, changing their sentencing rules under Minnesota Statutes 609.2232. It applies to assaults committed on or after August 1, 2025.
