BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 518.1705, subdivision 4, is amended to
read:


Subd. 4.

Custody designation.

deleted text begin A final judgment and decree that includes a
parenting plan using alternate terms to designate decision-making responsibilities or
allocation of residential time between the parents must designate whether the parents have
joint legal custody or joint physical custody or which parent has sole legal custody or sole
physical custody, or both. This designation is solely for enforcement of the final judgment
and decree where this designation is required for that enforcement and has no effect
under the laws of this state, any other state, or another country that do not require this
designation.
deleted text end new text begin If the parenting plan or order substitutes other terms for legal and physical
custody and if a designation of legal and physical custody is necessary for enforcement
of the judgment and decree in another jurisdiction, it must be considered solely for that
purpose that the parents have joint legal and joint physical custody.
