Minnesota SF5080 modifies the correctional industries program to set wage rates, track labor costs, and prevent displacement of private sector.

Minnesota SF5080 amends the correctional industries program by requiring the Minnesota Correctional Industries (MINNCOR) to calculate the prevailing wage rate for each region based on the Department of Employment and Economic Development's wage survey. MINNCOR must set the wage rate at the 50th percentile for each region and use this rate when contracting with private businesses. The bill also mandates that MINNCOR separately track wages and floor space dedicated to private businesses.
