Key Provisions:

  1. Revised Community Supervision Funding Formula:

    • Establishes a base funding amount of $150,000 for each county and Tribal Nation.
    • Implements a per diem rate of $5.62 for individuals under supervision, incorporating factors such as felony sentences, supervised release, parole, gross misdemeanors, misdemeanors, and juvenile probation.
    • Adjusts funding calculations based on a three-year average population count from probation surveys.

  2. Funding Adjustments:

    • If total appropriations differ from expected costs, funding levels for each jurisdiction are proportionally adjusted.

  3. Tribal Nation Allocation:

    • Each Tribal Nation receives $250,000 annually for probation or related services.
    • Tribal Nations opting into Community Corrections Act (CCA) or non-CCA jurisdiction would receive base funding plus additional formula-based funding.

  4. Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act (MRRA) Savings:

    • Savings under the MRRA are distributed to CCA and non-CCA jurisdictions based on their proportion of individuals on supervised release.

  5. Appropriation for Community Supervision:

    • $12,662,000 in fiscal year 2026 is appropriated from the general fund for the Department of Corrections to distribute per the revised probation funding formula.
    • This funding is added to the Department of Corrections’ base budget.

Purpose:

The bill aims to stabilize and fully fund community supervision services across Minnesota, ensuring counties and Tribal Nations receive adequate funding for probation and parole programs.
