County attorneys required to record and report reason for dismissing charges, Sentencing Guidelines Commission required to report information on dismissals to legislature, and county attorneys required to post information on dismissals to publicly accessible website.

HF 480 requires Minnesota county attorneys to document specific details (including dismissal reasons, victim input, and offense dates) when dismissing felony charges. It mandates that county attorneys forward this anonymized data to the Sentencing Guidelines Commission and post it on public websites. The Commission must then include a summary and analysis of these dismissal reports in its annual legislative report. The law applies to felony dismissals occurring on or after August 1, 2025.
