1.5 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 244.46, subdivision 1, is amended 
1.6 	to read:
1.7 		Subdivision 1.Adopting policy for earned compliance credit; supervision abatement 
1.8 	status. (a) The commissioner must adopt a policy providing for earned compliance credit 
1.9 	and supervision abatement status, including the circumstances under which an individual 
1.10 	may receive earned compliance credits and transition to supervision abatement status. The 
1.11 	policy must include consideration of an individual's effort to pay restitution to the extent 
1.12 	known to the supervising agency and must provide that an individual who has the ability 
1.13 	to pay restitution but engages in willful nonpayment is not eligible to transition to supervision 
1.14 	abatement status.
1.15 	(b) Except as otherwise provided in the act, once the time served on active supervision 
1.16 	plus earned compliance credits equals the total length of the supervised release term or, if 
1.17 	applicable, the aggregate length of the supervised release term and conditional release term, 
1.18 	the individual is eligible for supervision abatement status. However, the commissioner must 
1.19 	not place the individual on supervision abatement status for the remainder of the supervised 
1.20 	or conditional release term if the commissioner determines that doing so would present a 
1.21 	risk to public safety, after weighing factors including the individual's stability, behavior, or 
1.22 	overall adjustment while on supervision. For individuals with lifetime terms of conditional 
1.23 	release, the commissioner shall not place the individual on supervision abatement status 
2.1 	unless the time served on active supervision plus earned compliance credits equals at least 
2.2 	ten years.
