Minnesota HF135 mandates consecutive sentences for assaults committed by inmates in local facilities.

Minnesota HF135 amends state law to require consecutive sentences for inmates in local correctional facilities convicted of assault. Specifically, if an inmate in a county jail, regional jail, work farm, workhouse, or other local facility commits an assault against a county sheriff or sheriff's deputy, the sentence for the assault must be served consecutively to any other sentence the inmate is currently serving. The inmate will not receive credit for time served on the previous sentence. This change applies to crimes committed on or after August 1, 2025.
