Swift and Certain Sanctions Act

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections to create a statewide system that determines punishments for technical violations of probation, parole, and supervised release. The system classifies violations based on their severity and the individual's risk level, ensuring that responses start with noncustodial options like warnings or increased reporting before considering stricter measures. Beginning in 2027, officials must follow this grid unless they provide written justification that the standard punishment is insufficient or that public safety is at immediate risk. By mandating this structured approach, the legislation aims to limit revocations for minor infractions while still addressing repeated noncompliance.
