This Minnesota legislative bill aims to expand the categories of prisoners who are not eligible for earned incentive release credits. Specifically, the bill details that prisoners serving life sentences, those with indeterminate sentences for crimes committed before April 30, 1980, and those subject to good time regulations are excluded from such credits. Additionally, the bill lists several specific offenses, including various degrees of murder, assault, criminal sexual conduct, crimes committed for the benefit of a gang, certain drug offenses, and crimes involving the use of weapons or violence against public safety personnel, where convicted individuals would also be ineligible for earned incentive release credits. This means prisoners committing these offenses cannot reduce their prison time through this credit system.
