Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission meetings to be recorded and made available to the public requirement

This bill requires the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission to record all meetings (audio and visual) and make those recordings publicly available on its website or via a posted link. It directly affects the Commission, which must implement this recording and posting requirement, and the public, who gains access to meeting discussions. The bill amends existing law to add this transparency measure, while existing rules still govern when legislative approval is needed for sentencing guideline changes. The Commission must also continue submitting annual written reports to relevant legislative committees about guideline modifications.
