Penalty for introducing contraband into a correctional facility increased.

HF 327 increases penalties for bringing contraband into Minnesota correctional facilities. The bill amends Minnesota law to set specific maximum sentences: introducing contraband (excluding weapons) becomes a felony punishable by up to two years in prison, while bringing dangerous weapons into facilities becomes a felony punishable by up to five years. This directly affects individuals who attempt to smuggle prohibited items into jails or prisons, as well as correctional facilities managing security. The law does not change what constitutes contraband but clarifies and raises the criminal penalties for violations.
