5.25lesser of (a) a maximum loan amount determined under rules adopted by the agency
5.26not to exceed $20,000 $27,000, or (b) the actual cost of the work performed, or (c) that
5.27portion of the cost of rehabilitation which the agency determines cannot otherwise be
5.28paid by the person or family without the expenditure of an unreasonable portion of the
5.29income of the person or family. Loans made in whole or in part with federal funds may
5.30exceed the maximum loan amount to the extent necessary to comply with federal lead
5.31abatement requirements prescribed by the funding source. In making loans, the agency

13.24postponement, as soon as practicable, in the newspaper in which the original advertisement
13.25was published, at the expense of the party requesting the postponement. The notice shall
13.26be published only once.
13.27    Subd. 2. Postponement by mortgagor or owner. (a) If all or a part of the property
13.28to be sold is classified as homestead under section 273.124 and contains one to four

13.30a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday and is five months after the originally scheduled
13.31date of sale in the manner provided in this subdivision. To postpone a foreclosure sale
13.32pursuant to this subdivision, at any time after the first publication of the notice of mortgage
13.33foreclosure sale under section 580.03 but at least 15 days prior to the scheduled sale date
13.34specified in that notice, the mortgagor shall: (1) execute a sworn affidavit in the form set
13.35forth in subdivision 3, (2) record the affidavit in the office of each county recorder and

14.4the affidavit and postponement of the foreclosure sale pursuant to this subdivision shall
14.5automatically reduce the mortgagor's redemption period under section 580.23 to five
14.6weeks. The postponement of a foreclosure sale pursuant to this subdivision does not
14.7require any change in the contents of the notice of sale, service of the notice of sale if the
14.8occupant was served with the notice of sale prior to postponement under this subdivision,
14.9or publication of the notice of sale if publication was commenced prior to postponement
14.10under this subdivision, notwithstanding the service and publication time periods specified
14.11in section 580.03, but the sheriff's certificate of sale shall indicate the actual date of the
14.12foreclosure sale and the actual length of the mortgagor's redemption period. No notice
14.13of postponement need be published. An affidavit complying with subdivision 3 shall be
14.14prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein, and shall be entitled to be recorded. The
14.15right to postpone a foreclosure sale pursuant to this subdivision may be exercised only
14.16once, regardless whether the mortgagor reinstates the mortgage prior to the postponed
14.17mortgage foreclosure sale.
14.18(b) If the automatic stay under United States Code, title 11, section 362, applies
14.19to the mortgage foreclosure after a mortgagor or owner requests postponement of the
14.20sheriff's sale under this section, then when the automatic stay is no longer applicable, the
14.21mortgagor's or owner's election to shorten the redemption period to five weeks under this
14.22section remains applicable to the mortgage foreclosure.

36.2    Sec. 44. [145.958] YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION.
36.3    Subdivision 1. Findings. The legislature finds that the Minneapolis Blueprint for
36.4Action on Youth Violence has had some remarkable success, leading to a 43 percent
36.5reduction in juvenile violent crime in certain neighborhoods. The legislature further
36.6finds that it would be beneficial for the state to recognize youth violence as a public
36.7health problem and to use public health methodologies in preventing youth violence.
36.8This approach should focus on:
36.9(1) creating connections between at-risk youth and trusted adults;
36.10(2) intervening at the first signs that a youth may be at risk; and
36.11(3) rehabilitating youth who have been involved in violence.
36.12    Subd. 2. Definition. For purposes of this section, "at-risk youth" means adolescents
36.13and teenagers who are likely to be a threat to the health and well-being of themselves or
36.14others through gang involvement, alcohol and drug use, unsafe sexual activity, dropping
36.15out of school, or through violence and other criminal activity.
36.16    Subd. 3. Violence prevention programs for at-risk youth. (a) Community-based
36.17violence prevention programs may apply to the commissioner of health for technical
36.18assistance. The programs must be community-based efforts serving at-risk youth and must
36.19work in collaboration with local schools, law enforcement agencies, faith communities,
36.20and community groups to provide a comprehensive approach to reducing youth violence
36.21by addressing the needs of at-risk youth.
36.22(b) The programs must:
36.23(1) ensure that there are trusted adults serving as role models and mentors for
36.24at-risk youth;
36.25(2) intervene at the first signs that a youth may be at risk and strive to rehabilitate
36.26youth who are already involved in violence;
36.27(3) work to strengthen families;
36.28(4) work with schools in order to keep students engaged and help them prepare
36.29for higher education or job training; and
36.30(5) teach self-respect and respect of others so that unsafe and unhealthy behaviors
36.31may be avoided.
36.32(c) Violence prevention programs may include, but are not limited to:
36.33(1) mentorship;
36.34(2) job placement and support;
36.35(3) youth violence prevention training;
37.1(4) parent and family intervention and teaching parenting skills;
37.2(5) school-related initiative involving police liaison officers, youth leadership, peer
37.3mediation systems, after-school activities, and intervention in truancy cases;
37.4(6) chemical dependency and mental health intervention, screening, and assessment;
37.5(7) assisting juvenile offenders in reconnecting with families and reintegrating
37.6into the community;
37.7(8) working with youth to prevent sexual violence;
37.8(9) working with youth to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases; and
37.9(10) a youth helpline and street outreach workers to connect youth with needed
37.10services.
37.11    Subd. 4. Coordination of prevention and intervention for programs for at-risk
37.12youth. (a) The commissioner of health, in collaboration with the commissioners of public
37.13safety, human services, and education, shall identify five community-based violence
37.14prevention programs that meet the criteria described in this section. One of these programs
37.15identified must be serving the youth in Minneapolis, one program must be serving the
37.16youth in St. Paul, and the remaining three programs must be serving youth in outstate
37.17communities.
37.18(b) The commissioner of health shall provide technical support, within existing
37.19department resources, to these community programs including, but not limited to,
37.20assistance in seeking and applying for federal grants and private foundation funding.
37.21(c) The commissioner of health shall monitor the progress of these programs in
37.22terms of the impact on public health and reducing juvenile violent crime, and shall identify
37.23the effective aspects of each program in order to assist other programs in replicating
37.24these successful aspects.
37.25(d) The commissioner of health must apply for private, state, or federal funding to
37.26support the activities described in this subdivision. This subdivision is effective upon
37.27receipt of funding to support these activities.
