HF 3768 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Department of Corrections licensed juvenile and adult community-based residential correctional facilities responsibilities clarified.

This bill clarifies the responsibilities of Minnesota's Department of Corrections regarding licensed juvenile and adult community-based residential correctional facilities. It defines key terms (like "local correctional facility" and "facility administrator"), requires annual inspections to verify compliance with safety standards, and mandates that inspection reports be published online within 30 days. The bill also specifies licensing procedures, including two-year licenses for facilities meeting standards or making satisfactory progress, and requires facilities to provide data through the department's detention system. It directly affects licensed facilities, their administrators, and the Department of Corrections, streamlining oversight without creating new programs.
