Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act ineligible persons list expansion

This bill expands who is ineligible for earned incentive release credit under Minnesota's Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act. It amends statutes to add individuals serving sentences for second-degree murder (Minn. Stat. 609.19), third-degree murder (609.195), first-degree manslaughter (609.20), or second-degree manslaughter (609.205) to the existing list of ineligible persons. The key mechanism adds these specific violent crime categories to Section 244.45, which defines ineligibility, while Section 244.46's applicability exemptions are updated to reflect the expansion. This directly affects incarcerated individuals convicted of these specific offenses who would otherwise qualify for the credit.
