Minnesota SF5215 establishes a graduated sanctions grid for technical violations of probation, parole, and supervised release.

Minnesota SF5215, known as the Swift and Certain Sanctions Act, mandates the commissioner of corrections to create a graduated sanctions grid for technical violations of probation, parole, and supervised release. This grid must be established by February 1, 2027, and will classify violations into severity levels, incorporating validated risk assessment results. The grid will provide presumptive and proportional sanctions that escalate with severity, prioritizing noncustodial sanctions unless they are insufficient to achieve compliance.
