Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission required to maintain a publicly searchable database, and money appropriated.

HF 1728 requires the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission to create and maintain a publicly searchable website containing detailed sentencing data. The database must include court records on sentences stayed or imposed, such as case numbers, defendant names, offense details, sentencing outcomes (including probation terms), and whether sentences deviated from guidelines. Users can search by multiple fields, sort data, and download information. The bill appropriates funds for the Commission to develop and maintain this database, directly affecting the Commission's operations and providing the public with access to previously non-searchable sentencing records.
