18.28 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
18.29 		Subdivision 1.Correctional facilities; inspection; licensing. (a) Except as provided 
18.30 	in paragraph (b), the commissioner of corrections shall inspect and license all correctional 
18.31 	facilities throughout the state, whether public or private, established and operated for the 
19.1 	detention and confinement of persons detained or confined or incarcerated therein according 
19.2 	to law except to the extent that they are inspected or licensed by other state regulating 
19.3 	agencies. The commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules establishing 
19.4 	minimum standards for these facilities with respect to their management, operation, physical 
19.5 	condition, and the security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons detained or
19.6 	confined or incarcerated therein. Commencing September 1, 1980, These minimum standards 
19.7 	shall include but are not limited to specific guidance pertaining to:

19.17 	in licensed correctional facilities.
19.18 	No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private 
19.19 	organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the 
19.20 	facility unless licensed by it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. 
19.21 	Private adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 
19.22 	13, if the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with such the authority and the 
19.23 	facility meets requirements of section 243.52.
19.24 	The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision 
19.25 	at least once every biennium two years, except as otherwise provided herein, to determine 
19.26 	compliance with the minimum standards established pursuant according to this subdivision
19.27 	or other law related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.
19.28 	The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum 
19.29 	standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory 
19.30 	progress toward substantial conformity and the interests and well-being of the persons 
19.31 	detained or confined therein or incarcerated in the facility are protected. The commissioner 
19.32 	may grant licensure up to two years. Unless otherwise specified by statute, all licenses issued 
20.1 	under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the expiration date stated on the 
20.2 	license.
20.3 	The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and 
20.4 	to persons detained or confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may 
20.5 	require the officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the 
20.6 	commissioner deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner.
20.7 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities defined under subdivision 1f are 
20.8 	required to report all deaths of individuals who died while committed to the custody of the 
20.9 	facility, regardless of whether the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the 
20.10 	facility for medical care stemming from an incident or need for medical care at the 
20.11 	correctional facility, within 24 hours of receiving knowledge of the death, including any 
20.12 	demographic information as required by the commissioner.
20.13 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities defined under subdivision 1f are 
20.14 	required to report all other emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including 
20.15 	uses of force by facility staff that result in substantial bodily harm, to the commissioner of 
20.16 	corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any demographic information 
20.17 	as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections shall consult with the 
20.18 	Minnesota Sheriffs' Association to define "use of force" that results in substantial bodily 
20.19 	harm for reporting purposes.
20.20 	The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the 
20.21 	Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each 
20.22 	inspection report publicly within 30 days of completing the inspection. The education 
20.23 	program offered in a correctional facility for the detention or confinement or incarceration 
20.24 	of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner of education before the 
20.25 	commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.
20.26 	(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the 
20.27 	commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth 
20.28 	in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given 
20.29 	it in section 245A.02.
20.30 	(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional 
20.31 	facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
20.32 	substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or 
20.33 	license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different 
20.34 	correctional facilities.
21.1 	(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections' 
21.2 	authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
21.3 	funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16, or to require counties to comply with operating 
21.4 	standards the commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that 
21.5 	funding.
21.6 	(e) When the commissioner finds that any facility described in paragraph (a), except 
21.7 	foster care facilities for delinquent children and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does 
21.8 	not substantially conform to the minimum standards established by the commissioner and 
21.9 	is not making satisfactory progress toward substantial conformance, the commissioner shall 
21.10 	promptly notify the chief executive officer and the governing board of the facility of the 
21.11 	deficiencies and order that they be remedied within a reasonable period of time. The 
21.12 	commissioner may by written order restrict the use of any facility which does not substantially 
21.13 	conform to minimum standards to prohibit the detention of any person therein for more than 
21.14 	72 hours at one time. When, after due notice and hearing, the commissioner finds that any 
21.15 	facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups as provided in sections 
21.16 	641.26, 642.10, and 642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making 
21.17 	satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance therewith, the commissioner may issue 
21.18 	an order revoking the license of that facility. After revocation of its license, that facility 
21.19 	shall not be used until its license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that 
21.20 	satisfactory progress towards substantial compliance with minimum standard is being made, 
21.21 	the commissioner may, at the request of the appropriate officials of the affected facility 
21.22 	supported by a written schedule for compliance, grant an extension of time for a period not 
21.23 	to exceed one year.
21.24 	(f) As used in this subdivision, "correctional facility" means any facility, including a 
21.25 	group home, having a residential component, the primary purpose of which is to serve 
21.26 	persons placed therein by a court, court services department, parole authority, or other 
21.27 	correctional agency having dispositional power over persons charged with, convicted, or 
21.28 	adjudicated to be guilty or delinquent.

21.29 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
21.30 	read:
21.31 		Subd. 1a.Correction order; conditional license. (a) When the commissioner finds that 
21.32 	any facility described in subdivision 1, except foster care facilities for delinquent children 
21.33 	and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does not substantially conform to the minimum 
21.34 	standards established by the commissioner and is not making satisfactory progress toward 
22.1 	substantial conformance and the nonconformance does not present an imminent risk of 
22.2 	life-threatening harm or serious physical injury to the persons confined or incarcerated in 
22.3 	the facility, the commissioner shall promptly notify the facility administrator and the 
22.4 	governing board of the facility of the deficiencies and may issue a correction order or a 
22.5 	conditional license order that they be remedied within a reasonable and specified period of 
22.6 	time.
22.7 	The conditional license order may restrict the use of any facility which does not 
22.8 	substantially conform to minimum standards, including imposition of conditions limiting 
22.9 	operation of the facility or parts of the facility, reducing facility capacity, limiting intake, 
22.10 	limiting length of detention for individuals, or imposing detention limitations based on the 
22.11 	needs of the individuals being confined or incarcerated therein.
22.12 	The correction order or conditional license order must clearly state the following:
22.13 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
22.14 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards;
22.15 	(3) the corrective action needed;
22.16 	(4) time allowed to correct each violation; and
22.17 	(5) if a license is made conditional, the length and terms of the conditional license, any 
22.18 	conditions limiting operation of the facility, and the reasons for making the license 
22.19 	conditional.
22.20 	(b) The facility administrator may request review of the findings noted in the conditional 
22.21 	license order after satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with minimum 
22.22 	standards has been made, supported by evidence of correction, and, if appropriate, may 
22.23 	include a written schedule for compliance. The commissioner shall review the evidence of 
22.24 	correction and the progress made toward substantial compliance with minimum standards 
22.25 	within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ten business days. When the commissioner 
22.26 	has assurance that satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with minimum 
22.27 	standards is being made, the commissioner shall lift any conditions limiting operation of 
22.28 	the facility or parts of the facility or remove the conditional license order.
22.29 	(c) Nothing in this section prohibits the commissioner from ordering a revocation under 
22.30 	subdivision 1b prior to issuing a correction order or conditional license order.

23.1 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
23.2 	read:
23.3 		Subd. 1b.License revocation order. (a) When, after due notice to the facility 
23.4 	administrator of the commissioner's intent to issue a revocation order, the commissioner 
23.5 	finds that any facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups subject 
23.6 	to active condemnation proceedings or orders as provided in sections 641.26, 642.10, and 
23.7 	642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making satisfactory progress 
23.8 	toward substantial compliance with minimum standards, the commissioner may issue an 
23.9 	order revoking the license of that facility.
23.10 	The notice of intent to issue a revocation order shall include:
23.11 	(1) the citation to minimum standards that have been violated;
23.12 	(2) the nature and severity of each violation;
23.13 	(3) whether the violation is recurring or nonrecurring;
23.14 	(4) the effect of the violation on persons confined or incarcerated by the correctional 
23.15 	facility;
23.16 	(5) an evaluation of the risk of harm to persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional 
23.17 	facility;
23.18 	(6) relevant facts, conditions, and circumstances concerning the operation of the licensed 
23.19 	facility, including at a minimum:
23.20 	(i) specific facility deficiencies that endanger the health or safety of persons confined 
23.21 	or incarcerated in the correctional facility;
23.22 	(ii) substantiated complaints relating to the correctional facility; or
23.23 	(iii) any other evidence that the correctional facility is not in compliance with minimum 
23.24 	standards.
23.25 	(b) The facility administrator must submit a written response within 60 days of receipt 
23.26 	of the notice of intent to issue a revocation order with any information related to errors in 
23.27 	the notice, ability to conform to minimum standards within a set period of time including 
23.28 	but not limited to a written schedule for compliance, and any other information the facility 
23.29 	administrator deems relevant for consideration in revocation. The written response must 
23.30 	also include a written plan indicating how the correctional facility will ensure the transfer 
23.31 	of confined or incarcerated individuals and records if the correctional facility closes. Plans 
24.1 	must specify arrangements the correctional facility will make to transfer confined or 
24.2 	incarcerated individuals to another licensed correctional facility for continuation of detention.
24.3 	(c) When revoking a license, the commissioner shall consider the nature, chronicity, or 
24.4 	severity of the violation of law or rule and the effect of the violation on the health, safety, 
24.5 	or rights of persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional facility.
24.6 	(d) If the facility administrator does not respond within 60 days to the notice of intent 
24.7 	to issue a revocation order or if the commissioner does not have assurance that satisfactory 
24.8 	progress toward substantial compliance with minimum standards will be made, the 
24.9 	commissioner shall issue a revocation order. The revocation order must be sent to the facility 
24.10 	administrator and the governing board of the facility, clearly stating:
24.11 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
24.12 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards and the nature, 
24.13 	chronicity, or severity of those violations;
24.14 	(3) the corrective action needed;
24.15 	(4) any prior correction or conditional license orders issued to correct violations; and
24.16 	(5) the date at which the license revocation shall take place.
24.17 	A revocation order may authorize use until a certain date, not to exceed the duration of the 
24.18 	current license, unless a new license is issued by the commissioner for purposes of 
24.19 	effectuating a facility closure and continued operation does not present an imminent risk 
24.20 	of life-threatening harm or is not likely to result in serious physical injury to the persons 
24.21 	confined or incarcerated in the facility.
24.22 	(e) After revocation of the facility's licensure, that facility shall not be used until the 
24.23 	license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that satisfactory progress toward 
24.24 	substantial compliance with minimum standards is being made, the commissioner may, at 
24.25 	the request of the appropriate officials of the affected facility supported by a written schedule 
24.26 	for compliance, reinstate the license for a period not to exceed one year.

24.27 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
24.28 	read:
24.29 		Subd. 1c.Temporary license suspension. The commissioner shall act immediately to 
24.30 	temporarily suspend a license issued under this chapter if:
24.31 	(1) the correctional facility's failure to comply with applicable minimum standards or 
24.32 	the conditions in the correctional facility pose an imminent risk of life-threatening harm or 
25.1 	serious physical injury to persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, staff, law 
25.2 	enforcement, visitors, or the public; and
25.3 	(i) if the imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury cannot be 
25.4 	promptly corrected through a different type of order under this section; and
25.5 	(ii) the correctional facility cannot or has not corrected the violation giving rise to the 
25.6 	imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury; or
25.7 	(2) while the correctional facility continues to operate pending due notice and opportunity 
25.8 	for written response to the commissioner's notice of intent to issue an order of revocation, 
25.9 	the commissioner identifies one or more subsequent violations of minimum standards which 
25.10 	may adversely affect the health or safety of persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, 
25.11 	staff, law enforcement, visitors, or the public.
25.12 	A notice stating the reasons for the immediate suspension informing the facility 
25.13 	administrator must be delivered by personal service to the correctional facility administrator 
25.14 	and the governing board of the facility.

25.15 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
25.16 	read:
25.17 		Subd. 1d.Reconsideration of orders; appeals. (a) If the facility administrator believes 
25.18 	the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in error, the facility 
25.19 	administrator may ask the Department of Corrections to reconsider the parts of the order or 
25.20 	action that are alleged to be in error. The request for reconsideration must:
25.21 	(1) be made in writing;
25.22 	(2) be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than 30 calendar days after 
25.23 	receipt of the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order;
25.24 	(3) specify the parts of the order that are alleged to be in error;
25.25 	(4) explain why the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in 
25.26 	error; and
25.27 	(5) include documentation to support the allegation of error.
25.28 	The commissioner shall issue a disposition within 60 days of receipt of the facility 
25.29 	administrator's response to correction, conditional license, or revocation order violations. 
25.30 	A request for reconsideration does not stay any provisions or requirements of the order.
26.1 	(b) The facility administrator may request reconsideration of an order immediately 
26.2 	suspending a license. The request for reconsideration of an order immediately suspending 
26.3 	a license must be made in writing and sent by certified mail, personal service, or other means 
26.4 	expressly stated in the commissioner's order. If mailed, the request for reconsideration must 
26.5 	be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than five business days after the facility 
26.6 	administrator receives notice that the license has been immediately suspended. If a request 
26.7 	is made by personal service, it must be received by the commissioner no later than five 
26.8 	business days after the facility administrator received the order. The request for 
26.9 	reconsideration must:
26.10 	(1) specify the parts of the order that are alleged to be in error;
26.11 	(2) explain why they are in error; and
26.12 	(3) include documentation to support the allegation of error.
26.13 	A facility administrator and any controlling board or individual shall discontinue operation 
26.14 	of the correctional facility upon receipt of the commissioner's order to immediately suspend 
26.15 	the license.
26.16 	(c) Within five business days of receipt of the facility administrator's timely request for 
26.17 	reconsideration of a temporary immediate suspension, the commissioner shall review the 
26.18 	request for reconsideration. The scope of the review shall be limited solely to the issue of 
26.19 	whether the temporary immediate suspension should remain in effect pending the written 
26.20 	response to commissioner's notice of intent to issue a revocation order.
26.21 	The commissioner's disposition of a request for reconsideration of correction, conditional 
26.22 	license, temporary immediate suspension, or revocation order is final and subject to appeal. 
26.23 	The facility administrator must request reconsideration as required by this section of any 
26.24 	correction, conditional license, temporary immediate suspension, or revocation order prior 
26.25 	to appeal.
26.26 	No later than 60 days after the postmark date of the mailed notice of the commissioner's 
26.27 	decision, the facility administrator may appeal the decision by filing a writ of certiorari with 
26.28 	the court of appeals under section 606.01 and Minnesota Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure, 
26.29 	Rule 115. Failure by the facility administrator to appeal to the court of appeals no later than 
26.30 	the 60-day period precludes the person from later raising, in any subsequent administrative 
26.31 	hearing or court proceeding, those substantive and procedural issues that reasonably should 
26.32 	have been raised upon a timely appeal.

27.1 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
27.2 	read:
27.3 		Subd. 1e.Report. By February 15, 2022, and by February 15 each year thereafter, the

27.5 	house of representatives and senate committees and divisions with jurisdiction over public 
27.6 	safety and judiciary on the status of the implementation of the provisions in this section 
27.7 	over the prior year, particularly the health and safety of individuals confined or incarcerated 
27.8 	in a state correctional facility and a facility licensed by the commissioner. This report shall 
27.9 	include but not be limited to data regarding:
27.10 	(1) the number of confined or incarcerated persons who died while committed to the 
27.11 	custody of the facility, regardless of whether the death occurred at the facility or after 
27.12 	removal from the facility for medical care stemming from an incident or need for medical 
27.13 	care at the correctional facility, including aggregated demographic information and the 
27.14 	correctional facilities' most recent inspection reports and any corrective orders or conditional

27.17 	including any implemented policy changes;
27.18 	(3) the number of uses of force by facility staff on persons confined or incarcerated in 
27.19 	the correctional facility, including but not limited to whether those uses of force were 
27.20 	determined to be justified by the facility, for which the commissioner of corrections shall 
27.21 	consult with the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association to develop criteria for reporting and define 
27.22 	reportable uses of force;
27.23 	(4) the number of persons committed to the commissioner of corrections' authority that 
27.24 	the commissioner is housing in facilities licensed under subdivision 1f, including but not

27.27 	(ii) length of time spent housed in a licensed correctional facility; and
27.28 	(iii) any contracts the Department of Corrections has with correctional facilities to provide

27.32 	(i) total number of misconduct complaints and investigations;
28.1 	(ii) total number of complaints by each category of misconduct, as defined by the 
28.2 	commissioner of corrections;
28.3 	(iii) number of allegations dismissed as unfounded;
28.4 	(iv) number of allegations dismissed on grounds that the allegation was unsubstantiated; 
28.5 	and
28.6 	(v) number of allegations substantiated, any resulting disciplinary action, and the nature 
28.7 	of the discipline.

28.8 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
28.9 	read:
28.10 		Subd. 1f.Definition. As used in this section, "correctional facility" means any facility, 
28.11 	including a group home, having a residential component, the primary purpose of which is 
28.12 	to serve persons placed therein by a court, court services department, parole authority, or 
28.13 	other correctional agency having dispositional power over persons charged with, convicted, 
28.14 	or adjudicated guilty or delinquent.

28.15 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
28.16 	read:
28.17 		Subd. 7.Intake release of information. All correctional facilities that confine or 
28.18 	incarcerate adults are required at intake to provide every person an authorization form to 
28.19 	release information related to their health condition and when that information should be 
28.20 	shared. This release form shall allow the individual to select if they want to require the 
28.21 	correctional facility to make attempts to contact the designated person to facilitate the sharing 
28.22 	of health condition information upon incapacitation or if the individual becomes unable to 
28.23 	communicate or direct the sharing of this information, so long as contact information was 
28.24 	provided and the incapacitated person or individual who is unable to communicate or direct 
28.25 	the sharing of this information is not subject to a court order prohibiting contact with the 
28.26 	designated person.

28.27 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
28.28 	read:
28.29 		Subd. 8.Death review teams. In the event a correctional facility as defined in subdivision 
28.30 	1f receives information of the death of an individual while committed to the custody of the 
28.31 	facility, regardless of whether the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the 
28.32 	facility for medical care stemming from an incident or need for medical care at the 
29.1 	correctional facility, the administrator of the facility, minimally including a medical expert 
29.2 	of the facility's choosing who did not provide medical services to the individual, and, if 
29.3 	appropriate, a mental health expert, shall review the circumstances of the death and assess 
29.4 	for preventable mortality and morbidity, including recommendations for policy or procedure 
29.5 	change, within 90 days of death. The investigating law enforcement agency may provide 
29.6 	documentation, participate in, or provide documentation and participate in the review in 
29.7 	instances where criminal charges were not brought. A preliminary autopsy report must be 
29.8 	provided as part of the review and any subsequent autopsy findings as available. The facility 
29.9 	administrator shall provide notice to the commissioner of corrections via the Department 
29.10 	of Corrections detention information system that the correctional facility has conducted a 
29.11 	review and identify any recommendations for changes in policy, procedure, or training that 
29.12 	will be implemented. Any report or other documentation created for purposes of a facility 
29.13 	death review is confidential as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3. Nothing in this 
29.14 	section relieves the facility administrator from complying with the notice of death to the 
29.15 	commissioner as required by subdivision 1, paragraph (a).

29.16 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 243.52, is amended to read:

29.18 		Subdivision 1.Discipline and prevention of escape If any inmate of person confined 
29.19 	or incarcerated in any adult correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner 
29.20 	of corrections or licensed by the commissioner of corrections under section 241.021 assaults 
29.21 	any correctional officer or any other person or inmate, the assaulted person may use force 
29.22 	in defense of the assault, except as limited in this section. If any inmate confined or 
29.23 	incarcerated person attempts to damage the buildings or appurtenances, resists the lawful 
29.24 	authority of any correctional officer, refuses to obey the correctional officer's reasonable 
29.25 	demands, or attempts to escape, the correctional officer may enforce obedience and discipline 
29.26 	or prevent escape by the use of force. If any inmate confined or incarcerated person resisting 
29.27 	lawful authority is wounded or killed by the use of force by the correctional officer or 
29.28 	assistants, that conduct is authorized under this section.
29.29 		Subd. 2.Use of force. (a) Unless the use of deadly force is justified in this section, a 
29.30 	correctional officer may not use any of the following restraints:
29.31 	(1) a choke hold;
29.32 	(2) tying all of a person's limbs together behind the person's back to render the person 
29.33 	immobile; or
30.1 	(3) securing a person in any way that results in transporting the person face down in a 
30.2 	vehicle, except as directed by a medical professional.
30.3 	(b) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given 
30.4 	them:
30.5 	(1) "choke hold" has the meaning given in section 609.06, subdivision 3, paragraph (b); 
30.6 	and
30.7 	As used in this section, (2) "use of force" means conduct which is defined by sections 
30.8 	609.06 to 609.066.
30.9 	(c) Use of deadly force is justified only if an objectively reasonable correctional officer 
30.10 	would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time 
30.11 	and without the benefit of hindsight, that deadly force is necessary:
30.12 	(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided 
30.13 	that the threat:
30.14 	(i) can be articulated with specificity by the correctional officer;
30.15 	(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and
30.16 	(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
30.17 	(2) to effect the capture, or prevent the escape, of a person whom the correctional officer 
30.18 	knows or has reasonable grounds to believe has committed or attempted to commit a felony 
30.19 	and the officer reasonably believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to 
30.20 	another person under the threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.
30.21 		Subd. 3.Duty to report. (a) Regardless of tenure or rank, staff who observe another 
30.22 	employee engage in neglect or use force that exceeds the degree of force permitted by law 
30.23 	must report the incident in writing within 24 hours to the administrator of the correctional 
30.24 	facility that employs the reporting staff member.
30.25 	(b) A staff member who fails to report neglect or excessive use of force within 24 hours 
30.26 	is subject to disciplinary action or sanction by the correctional facility that employs them. 
30.27 	Staff members shall suffer no reprisal for reporting another staff member engaged in 
30.28 	excessive use of force or neglect.
30.29 	(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, neglect means:
30.30 	(1) the knowing failure or omission to supply a person confined or incarcerated in the 
30.31 	facility with care or services, including but not limited to food, clothing, health care, or 
31.1 	supervision that is reasonable and necessary to obtain or maintain the person's physical or 
31.2 	mental health or safety; or
31.3 	(2) the absence or likelihood of absence of care or services, including but not limited to 
31.4 	food, clothing, health care, or supervision necessary to maintain the physical and mental 
31.5 	health of the person that a reasonable person would deem essential for health, safety, or 
31.6 	comfort.

31.7 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective March 1, 2021.

31.24 	terms except that the terms of the initial members of the board must be as follows:
31.25 	(1) two members must be appointed for terms that expire January 1, 2024; and
31.26 	(2) two members must be appointed for terms that expire January 1, 2026.
31.27 	(b) A member is eligible for reappointment.

32.6 	equipment, office space, and other administrative services necessary and incident to the 
32.7 	discharge of the functions of the board.
32.8 		Subd. 4.Limitation. Nothing in this section supersedes the commissioner's authority 
32.9 	to revoke an inmate's release for a violation of the inmate's terms of release or impairs the 
32.10 	power of the Board of Pardons to grant a pardon or commutation in any case.
32.11 		Subd. 5.Report. On or before February 15 each year, the board shall submit to the 
32.12 	legislative committees with jurisdiction over criminal justice policy a written report detailing 
32.13 	the number of inmates reviewed and identifying persons granted release in the preceding 
32.14 	year. The report shall also include the board's recommendations for policy modifications 
32.15 	that influence the board's duties.

32.16 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.05, subdivision 5, is amended to read:

32.24 	report and shall consider the findings of the report when making a supervised release decision 
32.25 	under this subdivision. The report shall reflect the sentiment of the various elements of the 
32.26 	community toward the inmate, both at the time of the offense and at the present time. The 
32.27 	report shall include the views of the sentencing judge, the prosecutor, any law enforcement 
32.28 	personnel who may have been involved in the case, and any successors to these individuals 
32.29 	who may have information relevant to the supervised release decision. The report shall also

32.32 	(c) The commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to notify the victim, in advance, of 
32.33 	the time and place of the inmate's supervised release review hearing. The victim has a right
