AI Summary

  • Requires law enforcement agencies to notify the public and disclose information about sex offenders committed under Minnesota's civil commitment statute regardless of their assigned risk level, using the broadest disclosure authorized under existing law.

  • Removes restrictions that previously prevented law enforcement from disclosing information about offenders living in residential facilities, allowing disclosure to proceed when such individuals are released from the Minnesota sex offender program.

  • Establishes a four-year waiting period after civil commitment discharge before an individual can petition to have their community notification scope based solely on their assigned risk level rather than their civil commitment status.

  • Requires the head of a treatment facility to appoint a multidisciplinary committee to review petitions for reduced notification scope, with the facility head having sole discretion to grant or deny petitions.

  • Effective the day following final enactment.
