SF 1365 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Earned incentive release credit exclusions expansion provision

SF 1365 expands the list of offenses that disqualify inmates from earning "earned incentive release credit" - a program allowing eligible prisoners to reduce sentences through good behavior or rehabilitation participation. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 244.45 to add specific crimes - including certain violent offenses (like first-degree murder), sexual crimes with force, gang-related convictions, and firearm-related crimes - to the existing exclusion list. This change directly affects inmates convicted of these newly specified offenses, barring them from qualifying for the credit. The policy adjustment modifies eligibility criteria without altering the core structure of the sentencing program.
