Sec. 2.

Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 241.021, subdivision 1, is amended
to read:


Subdivision 1.

Correctional facilities; inspection; licensing.

(a) Except as provided
in paragraph (b), the commissioner of corrections shall inspect and license all correctional
facilities throughout the state, whether public or private, established and operated for the
detention and confinement of persons confined or incarcerated therein according to law
except to the extent that they are inspected or licensed by other state regulating agencies.
The commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules establishing minimum
standards for these facilities with respect to their management, operation, physical condition,
and the security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons confined or incarcerated
therein. These minimum standards shall include but are not limited to specific guidance
pertaining to:

(1) screening, appraisal, assessment, and treatment for persons confined or incarcerated
in correctional facilities with mental illness or substance use disorders;

(2) a policy on the involuntary administration of medications;

(3) suicide prevention plans and training;

(4) verification of medications in a timely manner;

(5) well-being checks;

(6) discharge planning, including providing prescribed medications to persons confined
or incarcerated in correctional facilities upon release;

(7) a policy on referrals or transfers to medical or mental health care in a noncorrectional
institution;

(8) use of segregation and mental health checks;

(9) critical incident debriefings;

(10) clinical management of substance use disorders and opioid overdose emergency
procedures;

(11) a policy regarding identification of persons with special needs confined or
incarcerated in correctional facilities;

(12) a policy regarding the use of telehealth;

(13) self-auditing of compliance with minimum standards;

(14) information sharing with medical personnel and when medical assessment must be
facilitated;

(15) a code of conduct policy for facility staff and annual training;

(16) a policy on death review of all circumstances surrounding the death of an individual
committed to the custody of the facility; and

(17) dissemination of a rights statement made available to persons confined or
incarcerated in licensed correctional facilities.

No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private
organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the
facility unless it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. Private
adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 13, if
the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with the authority and the facility meets
requirements of section 243.52.

The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision
at least once every two years, except as otherwise provided, to determine compliance with
the minimum standards established according to this subdivision or other Minnesota statute
related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.

The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum
standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory
progress toward substantial conformity and the standards not being met do not impact the
interests and well-being of the persons confined or incarcerated in the facility. A limited
license under subdivision 1a may be issued for purposes of effectuating a facility closure.
The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years. Unless otherwise specified by
statute, all licenses issued under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the
expiration date stated on the license.

The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and
to persons confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may require the
officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the commissioner
deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner.new text begin Notwithstanding
chapter 13 or any other state law classifying or restricting access to data, the officers in
charge of these facilities must furnish all data available to the facility that the commissioner
deems necessary to conduct a review of any emergency or unusual occurrence at the facility.
Failure to provide or grant access to relevant information or statistics necessary to fulfill
inspection or emergency or unusual occurrence reviews, as requested by the commissioner,
may be grounds for the commissioner to take action against a correctional facility's license
under subdivision 1a, 1b, or 1c.
new text end

All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all deaths of
individuals who died while committed to the custody of the facility, regardless of whether
the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the facility for medical care stemming
from an incident or need for medical care at the correctional facility, as soon as practicable,
but no later than 24 hours of receiving knowledge of the death, including any demographic
information as required by the commissioner.

All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all other
emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including uses of force by facility
staff that result in substantial bodily harm or suicide attempts, to the commissioner of
corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any demographic information
as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections shall consult with the
Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the Minnesota Association of
Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the operations of an adult
correctional facility to define "use of force" that results in substantial bodily harm for
reporting purposes.

The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the
Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each
inspection report publicly and on the department's website within 30 days of completing
the inspection. The education program offered in a correctional facility for the confinement
or incarceration of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner of education
before the commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.

(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the
commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth
in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given
it in section 245A.02.

(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional
facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are
substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or
license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different
correctional facilities.

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections'
authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive
funds under chapter 401, or to require counties to comply with operating standards the
commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that funding.

(e) The department's inspection unit must report directly to a division head outside of
the correctional institutions division.

or the medical director's designee, who must be a physician licensed under chapter 147,
new text end
may make a health care decision for an inmate incarcerated in a state correctional facility
or placed in an outside facility on conditional medical release if the inmate's attending
physician determines that the inmate lacks decision-making capacity and:

care agent is not reasonably available to make the health care decision;

(2) if there is a documented health care directive, the decision is consistent with that
directive;

(3) the decision is consistent with reasonable medical practice and other applicable law;
and

(4) the medical director has made a good faith attempt to consult with the inmate's next

Subd. 2.

Use of force.

(a) Use of force must not be applied maliciously or sadistically
for the purpose of causing harm to a confined or incarcerated person.

(b) Unless the use of deadly force is justified in this section, a correctional officer working
in an adult correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner of corrections
or licensed by the commissioner under section 241.021 may not use any of the following
restraints:

(1) a choke hold;

(2) a prone restraint;

(3) tying all of a person's limbs together behind the person's back to render the person
immobile; or

(4) securing a person in any way that results in transporting the person face down in a
vehicle, except as directed by a medical professional.

(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given
them:

(1) "choke hold" means a method by which a person applies sufficient pressure to a
person to make breathing difficult or impossible, and includes but is not limited to any
pressure to the neck, throat, or windpipe that may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce
intake of air. Choke hold also means applying pressure to a person's neck on either side of
the windpipe, but not to the windpipe itself, to stop the flow of blood to the brain via the
carotid arteries;

(2) "prone restraint" means the use of manual restraint that places a person in a face-down
position; and

(3) "deadly force" has the meaning given in section 609.066, subdivision 1.

(d) Use of deadly force is justified only if an objectively reasonable correctional officer
would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time
and without the benefit of hindsight, that deadly force is necessary:

(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided
that the threat:

(i) can be articulated with specificity deleted text begin by the correctional officerdeleted text end ;

(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and

(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or

(2) to effect the capture or prevent the escape of a person when the officer reasonably
believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the
threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.

identify specific steps that the inmate can take to increase the likelihood that release will
be granted at a future hearing.

(n) When granting supervised release under this subdivision, the board must set prerelease
conditions to be followed by the inmate, if time permits, before their actual release or before
constructive parole becomes effective. If the inmate violates any of the prerelease conditions,
the commissioner may rescind the grant of supervised release without a hearing at any time
before the inmate's release or before constructive parole becomes effective. A grant of
constructive parole becomes effective once the inmate begins serving the consecutive
sentence.

(o) If the commissioner rescinds a grant of supervised release or parole, the board:

(1) must set a release review date that occurs within 90 days of the commissioner's
rescission; and

(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.

(p) If the commissioner revokes supervised release or parole for an inmate serving a life
sentence, the revocation is not subject to the limitations under section 244.30 and the board:

(1) must set a release review date that occurs within one year of the commissioner's final
revocation decision; and

(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.

(q) The board may, by a majority vote, grant a person on supervised release or parole
for a life or indeterminate sentence a final discharge from their sentence in accordance with
section 243.05, subdivision 3. In no case, however, may a person subject to a mandatory
lifetime conditional release term under section 609.3455, subdivision 7, be discharged from
that term.

(r) For purposes of this subdivision:
