The Community Corrections Act, since its 1973 approval by the legislature, any Minnesota county or group of contiguous counties with a population exceeding 30,000 may elect to enter the CCA.  Under this system, the county provides community supervision services.  Funding is provided by a combination of state subsidy and county tax dollars.  This system is overseen by a local Corrections Advisory Board and must submit comprehensive plans to the DOC for approval.  The Advisory Board meets the third Tuesday of every other month.
