The extent of &#10;42.16   the information disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must relate to &#10;42.17   the level of danger posed by the offender, to the offender's pattern of offending behavior, &#10;42.18   and to the need of community members for information to enhance their individual and &#10;42.19   collective safety.&#10;42.20   (b) The law enforcement agency shall employ the following guidelines in &#10;42.21   determining the scope of disclosure made under this subdivision:&#10;42.22   (1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency may maintain information &#10;42.23   regarding the offender within the agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement &#10;42.24   agencies. Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any victims of or &#10;42.25   witnesses to the offense committed by the offender. The agency shall disclose the &#10;42.26   information to victims of the offense committed by the offender who have requested &#10;42.27   disclosure and to adult members of the offender's immediate household;&#10;42.28   (2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the agency also may disclose the &#10;42.29   information to agencies and groups that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose &#10;42.30   of securing those institutions and protecting individuals in their care while they are on or &#10;42.31   near the premises of the institution. These agencies and groups include the staff members &#10;42.32   of public and private educational institutions, day care establishments, and establishments &#10;42.33   and organizations that primarily serve individuals likely to be victimized by the offender. &#10;42.34   The agency also may disclose the information to individuals the agency believes are likely &#10;42.35   to be victimized by the offender. The agency's belief shall be based on the offender's &#10;43.1    pattern of offending or victim preference as documented in the information provided by &#10;43.2    the department of corrections or human services;&#10;43.3    (3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the agency shall disclose the &#10;43.4    information to the persons and entities described in clauses (1) and (2) and to other &#10;43.5    members of the community whom the offender is likely to encounter, unless the law &#10;43.6    enforcement agency determines that public safety would be compromised by the disclosure &#10;43.7    or that a more limited disclosure is necessary to protect the identity of the victim.&#10;43.8    Notwithstanding the assignment of a predatory offender to risk level II or III, a law &#10;43.9    enforcement agency may not make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or &#10;43.10   (3), if: the offender is placed or resides in a residential facility. However, if an offender is &#10;43.11   placed or resides in a residential facility, the offender and the head of the facility shall &#10;43.12   designate the offender's likely residence upon release from the facility and the head of &#10;43.13   the facility shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner of human &#10;43.14   services of the offender's likely residence at least 14 days before the offender's scheduled &#10;43.15   release date. The commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement agency &#10;43.16   having jurisdiction over the offender's likely residence. The head of the residential facility &#10;43.17   also shall notify the commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours &#10;43.18   after finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a permanent residence. Within &#10;43.19   five days after receiving this notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to &#10;43.20   the appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the commissioner has &#10;43.21   concerning the offender, including information on the risk factors in the offender's history &#10;43.22   and the risk level to which the offender was assigned. After receiving this information, &#10;43.23   the law enforcement agency shall make the disclosures permitted or required by clause &#10;43.24   (2) or (3), as appropriate.&#10;43.25   (c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely to encounter" means that:&#10;43.26   (1) the organizations or community members are in a location or in close proximity &#10;43.27   to a location where the offender lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or &#10;43.28   is likely to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the offender's outpatient &#10;43.29   treatment program; and&#10;43.30   (2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that location and other &#10;43.31   circumstances indicate that contact with the offender is reasonably certain.&#10;43.32   (d) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this &#10;43.33   subdivision shall make a good faith effort to make the notification within 14 days of receipt &#10;43.34   of a confirmed address from the Department of Corrections indicating that the offender &#10;43.35   will be, or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for supervision, or has moved &#10;44.1    to a new address and will reside at the address indicated. If a change occurs in the release &#10;44.2    plan, this notification provision does not require an extension of the release date.&#10;44.3    (e) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this &#10;44.4    subdivision shall not disclose the identity or any identifying characteristics of the victims &#10;44.5    of or witnesses to the offender's offenses.&#10;44.6    (f) A law enforcement agency shall continue to disclose information on an offender &#10;44.7    as required by this subdivision for as long as the offender is required to register under &#10;44.8    section 243.166. This requirement on a law enforcement agency to continue to disclose &#10;44.9    information also applies to an offender who lacks a primary address and is registering &#10;44.10   under section 243.166, subdivision 3a.&#10;44.11   (g) A law enforcement agency that is disclosing information on an offender assigned &#10;44.12   to risk level III to the public under this subdivision shall inform the commissioner of &#10;44.13   corrections what information is being disclosed and forward this information to the &#10;44.14   commissioner within two days of the agency's determination. The commissioner shall &#10;44.15   post this information on the Internet as required in subdivision 4b.&#10;44.16   (h) A city council may adopt a policy that addresses when information disclosed &#10;44.17   under this subdivision must be presented in languages in addition to English. The policy &#10;44.18   may address when information must be presented orally, in writing, or both in additional &#10;44.19   languages by the law enforcement agency disclosing the information. The policy may &#10;44.20   provide for different approaches based on the prevalence of non-English languages in &#10;44.21   different neighborhoods.&#10;44.22   (i) An offender who is the subject of a community notification meeting held pursuant &#10;44.23   to this section may not attend the meeting.&#10;44.24   <ins>(j) When a school, day care facility, or other entity or program that primarily </ins>&#10;44.25   <ins>educates or serves children receives notice under paragraph (b), clause (3), that a level III </ins>&#10;44.26   <ins>predatory offender resides or works in the surrounding community, notice to parents must </ins>&#10;44.27   <ins>be made as provided in this paragraph.
