 10.31  felony if committed by an adult, the juvenile court may enter an 
 10.32  order certifying the proceeding to the district court for action 
 10.33  under the criminal laws under the laws and court procedures 
 10.34  controlling adult criminal violations. 
 10.35     Subd. 2.  [ORDER OF CERTIFICATION; REQUIREMENTS.] Except as 
 10.36  provided in subdivision 3a or 3b, the juvenile court may order a 
 11.1   certification to district court only if:  
 11.2      (1) a petition has been filed in accordance with the 
 11.3   provisions of section 260.131; 
 11.4      (2) a motion for certification has been filed by the 
 11.5   prosecuting authority; 
 11.6      (3) notice has been given in accordance with the provisions 
 11.7   of sections 260.135 and 260.141; 
 11.8      (4) a hearing has been held in accordance with the 
 11.9   provisions of section 260.155 within 30 days of the filing of 
 11.10  the certification motion, unless good cause is shown by the 
 11.11  prosecution or the child as to why the hearing should not be 
 11.12  held within this period in which case the hearing shall be held 
 11.13  within 90 days of the filing of the motion; 
 11.14     (5) the court finds that there is probable cause, as 
 11.15  defined by the rules of criminal procedure promulgated pursuant 
 11.16  to section 480.059, to believe the child committed the offense 
 11.17  alleged by delinquency petition; and 
 11.18     (6) the court finds either: 
 11.19     (i) that the presumption of certification created by 
 11.20  subdivision 2a applies and the child has not rebutted the 
 11.21  presumption by clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that 
 11.22  retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court serves public 
 11.23  safety; or 
 11.24     (ii) that the presumption of certification does not apply 
 11.25  and the prosecuting authority has demonstrated by clear and 
 11.26  convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in the 
 11.27  juvenile court does not serve public safety.  If the court finds 
 11.28  that the prosecutor has not demonstrated by clear and convincing 
 11.29  evidence that retaining the proceeding in juvenile court does 
 11.30  not serve public safety, the court shall retain the proceeding 
 11.31  in juvenile court. 
 11.32     Subd. 2a.  [PRESUMPTION OF CERTIFICATION.] It is presumed 
 11.33  that a proceeding involving an offense committed by a child will 
 11.34  be certified to district court if: 
 11.35     (1) the child was 16 or 17 years old at the time of the 
 11.36  offense; and 
 12.1      (2) the delinquency petition alleges that the child 
 12.2   committed an offense that would result in a presumptive 
 12.3   commitment to prison under the sentencing guidelines and 
 12.4   applicable statutes, or that the child committed any felony 
 12.5   offense while using, whether by brandishing, displaying, 
 12.6   threatening with, or otherwise employing, a firearm. 
 12.7   If the court determines that probable cause exists to believe 
 12.8   the child committed the alleged offense, the burden is on the 
 12.9   child to rebut this presumption by demonstrating by clear and 
 12.10  convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in the 
 12.11  juvenile court serves public safety.  If the court finds that 
 12.12  the child has not rebutted the presumption by clear and 
 12.13  convincing evidence, the court shall certify the child to 
 12.14  district court proceeding. 
 12.15     Subd. 2b.  [PUBLIC SAFETY.] In determining whether the 
 12.16  public safety is served by certifying a child to district court 
 12.17  the matter, the court shall consider the following factors: 
 12.18     (1) the seriousness of the alleged offense in terms of 
 12.19  community protection, including the existence of any aggravating 
 12.20  factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the use of a 
 12.21  firearm, and the impact on any victim; 
 12.22     (2) the culpability of the child in committing the alleged 
 12.23  offense, including the level of the child's participation in 
 12.24  planning and carrying out the offense and the existence of any 
 12.25  mitigating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines; 
 12.26     (3) the child's prior record of delinquency; 
 12.27     (4) the child's programming history, including the child's 
 12.28  past willingness to participate meaningfully in available 
 12.29  programming; 
 12.30     (5) the adequacy of the punishment or programming available 
 12.31  in the juvenile justice system; and 
 12.32     (6) the dispositional options available for the child. 
 12.33  In considering these factors, the court shall give greater 
 12.34  weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the child's 
 12.35  prior record of delinquency than to the other factors listed in 
 12.36  this subdivision. 
 13.1      Subd. 3a.  [PRIOR CERTIFICATION; EXCEPTION.] 
 13.2   Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 2, 2a, and 2b, 
 13.3   the court shall order a certification in any felony case if the 
 13.4   prosecutor shows that the child has been previously prosecuted 
 13.5   on a felony charge by an order of certification issued pursuant 
 13.6   to either a hearing held under subdivision 2 or pursuant to the 
 13.7   waiver of the right to such a hearing, other than a prior 
 13.8   certification in the same case. 
 13.9      This subdivision only applies if the child is convicted of 
 13.10  the offense or offenses for which the child was prosecuted 
 13.11  pursuant to the order of certification or of a lesser-included 
 13.12  offense which is a felony.  
 13.13     This subdivision does not apply to juvenile offenders who 
 13.14  are subject to criminal court jurisdiction under section 609.055.
 13.15     Subd. 3b.  [ADULT CHARGED WITH JUVENILE OFFENSE.] The 
 13.16  juvenile court has jurisdiction to hold a certification hearing 
 13.17  on motion of the prosecuting authority to certify the matter to 
 13.18  district court if: 
 13.19     (1) an adult is alleged to have committed an offense before 
 13.20  the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 13.21     (2) a petition is filed under section 260.131 before 
 13.22  expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26. 
 13.23  The court may not certify the matter to district court under 
 13.24  this subdivision if the adult demonstrates that the delay was 
 13.25  purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
 13.26  advantage. 
 13.27     Subd. 4.  [EFFECT OF ORDER.] When the juvenile court enters 
 13.28  an order certifying an alleged violation to district court, the 
 13.29  prosecuting authority shall proceed with the case as if the 
 13.30  jurisdiction of the juvenile court had never attached. 
 13.31     Subd. 5.  [WRITTEN FINDINGS; OPTIONS.] The court shall 
 13.32  decide whether to order certification to district court within 
 13.33  15 days after the certification hearing was completed, unless 
 13.34  additional time is needed, in which case the court may extend 
 13.35  the period up to another 15 days.  If the juvenile court orders 
 13.36  certification, and the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 14.1   does not apply, the order shall contain in writing, findings of 
 14.2   fact and conclusions of law as to why public safety is not 
 14.3   served by retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court.  If 
 14.4   the juvenile court, after a hearing conducted pursuant to 
 14.5   subdivision 2, decides not to order certification to district 
 14.6   court, the decision shall contain, in writing, findings of fact 
 14.7   and conclusions of law as to why certification is not ordered.  
 14.8   If the juvenile court decides not to order certification in a 
 14.9   case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 14.10  applies, the court shall designate the proceeding an extended 
 14.11  jurisdiction juvenile prosecution and include in its decision 
 14.12  written findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why the 
 14.13  retention of the proceeding in juvenile court serves public 
 14.14  safety, with specific reference to the factors listed in 
 14.15  subdivision 2b.  If the court decides not to order certification 
 14.16  in a case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 14.17  does not apply, the court may designate the proceeding an 
 14.18  extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, pursuant to the 
 14.19  hearing process described in section 260.126, subdivision 2. 
 14.20     Subd. 6.  [FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.] When a motion for 
 14.21  certification has been filed in a case in which the petition 
 14.22  alleges that the child committed murder in the first degree, the 
 14.23  prosecuting authority shall present the case to the grand jury 
 14.24  for consideration of indictment under chapter 628 within 14 days 
 14.25  after the petition was filed. 
 14.26     Subd. 7.  [INAPPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN OFFENDERS.] This 
 14.27  section does not apply to a child excluded from the definition 
 14.28  of delinquent child under section 260.015, subdivision 5, 
 14.29  paragraph (b). 
 14.30     Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.126, 
 14.31  subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
 14.32     Subd. 5.  [EXECUTION OF ADULT SENTENCE.] When it appears 
 14.33  that a person convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile has 
 14.34  violated the conditions of the stayed sentence, or is alleged to 
 14.35  have committed a new offense, the court may, without notice, 
 14.36  revoke the stay and probation and direct that the offender be 
 15.1   taken into immediate custody.  The court shall notify the 
 15.2   offender in writing of the reasons alleged to exist for 
 15.3   revocation of the stay of execution of the adult sentence.  If 
 15.4   the offender challenges the reasons, the court shall hold a 
 15.5   summary hearing on the issue at which the offender is entitled 
 15.6   to be heard and represented by counsel.  After the hearing, if 
 15.7   the court finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay of 
 15.8   execution of sentence, the court shall treat the offender as an 
 15.9   adult and order any of the adult sanctions authorized by section 
 15.10  609.14, subdivision 3.  If the offender was convicted of an 
 15.11  offense described in subdivision 1, clause (2), and the court 
 15.12  finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay, the court must 
 15.13  order execution of the previously imposed sentence unless the 
 15.14  court makes written findings regarding the mitigating factors 
 15.15  that justify continuing the stay.  Upon revocation, the 
 15.16  offender's extended jurisdiction status is terminated and 
 15.17  juvenile court jurisdiction is terminated.  The ongoing 
 15.18  jurisdiction for any adult sanction, other than commitment to 
 15.19  the commissioner of corrections, is with the adult court. 
 15.20     Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.131, 
 15.21  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 15.22     Subd. 4.  [DELINQUENCY PETITION; EXTENDED JURISDICTION 
 15.23  JUVENILE.] When a prosecutor files a delinquency petition 
 15.24  alleging that a child committed a felony offense for which there 
 15.25  is a presumptive commitment to prison according to the 
 15.26  sentencing guidelines and applicable statutes or in which the 
 15.27  child used a firearm, after reaching the age of 16 years, the 
 15.28  prosecutor shall indicate in the petition whether the prosecutor 
 15.29  designates the proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
 15.30  prosecution.  When a prosecutor files a delinquency petition 
 15.31  alleging that a child aged 14 to 17 years committed a felony 
 15.32  offense, the prosecutor may request that the court designate the 
 15.33  proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. 
 15.34     Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.181, 
 15.35  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 15.36     Subd. 4.  [TERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.] (a) The court may 
 16.1   dismiss the petition or otherwise terminate its jurisdiction on 
 16.2   its own motion or on the motion or petition of any interested 
 16.3   party at any time.  Unless terminated by the court, and except 
 16.4   as otherwise provided in this subdivision, the jurisdiction of 
 16.5   the court shall continue until the individual becomes 19 years 
 16.6   of age if the court determines it is in the best interest of the 
 16.7   individual to do so.  Court jurisdiction under section 260.015, 
 16.8   subdivision 2a, clause (12), may not continue past the child's 
 16.9   17th birthday.  
 16.10     (b) The jurisdiction of the court over an extended 
 16.11  jurisdiction juvenile, with respect to the offense for which the 
 16.12  individual was convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile, 
 16.13  extends until the offender becomes 21 years of age, unless the 
 16.14  court terminates jurisdiction before that date.  
 16.15     (c) The juvenile court has jurisdiction to designate the 
 16.16  proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, to 
 16.17  hold a certification hearing, or to conduct a trial, receive a 
 16.18  plea, or impose a disposition under section 260.126, subdivision 
 16.19  4, if: 
 16.20     (1) an adult is alleged to have committed an offense before 
 16.21  the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 16.22     (2) a petition is filed under section 260.131 before 
 16.23  expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26 and 
 16.24  before the adult's 21st birthday. 
 16.25  The juvenile court lacks jurisdiction under this paragraph if 
 16.26  the adult demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by 
 16.27  the state in order to gain an unfair advantage. 
 16.28     (d) The district court has original and exclusive 
 16.29  jurisdiction over a proceeding: 
 16.30     (1) that involves an adult who is alleged to have committed 
 16.31  an offense before the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 16.32     (2) in which a criminal complaint is filed before 
 16.33  expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26 and after 
 16.34  the adult's 21st birthday. 
 16.35     The juvenile court retains jurisdiction if the adult 
 16.36  demonstrates that the delay in filing a criminal complaint was 
 17.1   purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
 17.2   advantage. 
 17.3      (e) The juvenile court has jurisdiction over a person who 
 17.4   has been adjudicated delinquent until the person's 21st birthday 
 17.5   if the person fails to appear at any juvenile court hearing or 
 17.6   fails to appear at or absconds from any placement under a 
 17.7   juvenile court order.  The juvenile court has jurisdiction over 
 17.8   a convicted extended jurisdiction juvenile who fails to appear 
 17.9   at any juvenile court hearing or fails to appear at or absconds 
 17.10  from any placement under section 260.126, subdivision 4.  The 
 17.11  juvenile court lacks jurisdiction under this paragraph if the 
 17.12  adult demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the 
 17.13  state in order to gain an unfair advantage. 
 17.14     Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, is 
 17.15  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 17.16     Subd. 1b.  [COMMITMENT TO SECURE FACILITY; LENGTH OF STAY; 
 17.17  TRANSFERS.] An adjudicated juvenile may not be placed in a 
 17.18  licensed juvenile secure treatment facility unless the placement 
 17.19  is approved by the juvenile court.  However, the program 
 17.20  administrator may determine the juvenile's length of stay in the 
 17.21  secure portion of the facility.  The administrator shall notify 
 17.22  the court of any movement of juveniles from secure portions of 
 17.23  facilities.  However, the court may, in its discretion, order 
 17.24  that the juveniles be moved back to secure portions of the 
 17.25  facility. 
 17.26     Sec. 17.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, is 
 17.27  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 17.28     Subd. 1c.  [PLACEMENT OF JUVENILES IN SECURE FACILITIES; 
 17.29  REQUIREMENTS.] Prior to a postadjudication placement of a 
 17.30  juvenile in a secure treatment facility either inside or outside 
 17.31  the state, the court may: 
 17.32     (1) consider whether the juvenile has been adjudicated for 
 17.33  a felony offense against the person or that in addition to the 
 17.34  current adjudication, the juvenile has failed to appear in court 
 17.35  on one or more occasions or has run away from home on one or 
 17.36  more occasions; 
 18.1      (2) conduct a subjective assessment to determine whether 
 18.2   the child is a danger to self or others or would abscond from a 
 18.3   nonsecure facility or if the child's health or welfare would be 
 18.4   endangered if not placed in a secure facility; 
 18.5      (3) conduct a culturally appropriate psychological 
 18.6   evaluation which includes a functional assessment of anger and 
 18.7   abuse issues; and 
 18.8      (4) conduct an educational and physical assessment of the 
 18.9   juvenile. 
 18.10     In determining whether to order secure placement, the court 
 18.11  shall consider the necessity of: 
 18.12     (1) protecting the public; 
 18.13     (2) protecting program residents and staff; and 
 18.14     (3) preventing juveniles with histories of absconding from 
 18.15  leaving treatment programs. 
 18.16     Sec. 18.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, 
 18.17  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
 18.18     Subd. 6.  [OUT-OF-STATE PLACEMENTS.] (a) Prior to August 1, 
 18.19  1997, a court may not place a preadjudicated delinquent, an 
 18.20  adjudicated delinquent, or a convicted extended jurisdiction 
 18.21  juvenile in a residential or detention facility outside 
 18.22  Minnesota unless the commissioner of corrections has certified 
 18.23  that the facility: 
 18.24     (1) meets or exceeds the standards for Minnesota 
 18.25  residential treatment programs set forth in rules adopted by the 
 18.26  commissioner of human services and the standards for juvenile 
 18.27  residential facilities set forth in rules adopted by the 
 18.28  commissioner of corrections or the standards for juvenile 
 18.29  detention facilities set forth in rules adopted by the 
 18.30  commissioner of corrections; and 
 18.31     (2) provides education, health, dental, and other necessary 
 18.32  care equivalent to that which the child would receive if placed 
 18.33  in a Minnesota facility licensed by the commissioner of 
 18.34  corrections or commissioner of human services. 
 18.35     (b) After August 1, 1997, a court may not place a 
 18.36  preadjudicated delinquent, an adjudicated delinquent, or a 
 19.1   convicted extended jurisdiction juvenile in a residential or 
 19.2   detention facility outside Minnesota unless the court determines 
 19.3   that the specialized programmatic needs of the juvenile are not 
 19.4   available in a facility within Minnesota and the out-of-state 
 19.5   facility has been certified by the commissioner of corrections 
 19.6   under paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (2).  For purposes of this 
 19.7   subdivision, "specialized programmatic needs" does not include 
 19.8   concerns about security. 
 19.9      (c) The interagency licensing agreement between the 
 19.10  commissioners of corrections and human services shall be used to 
 19.11  determine which rule shall be used for certification purposes 
 19.12  under this subdivision. 
 19.13     (c) (d) The commissioner of corrections may charge each 
 19.14  facility evaluated a reasonable amount.  Money received is 
 19.15  annually appropriated to the commissioner of corrections to 
 19.16  defray the costs of the certification program. 
 19.17     Sec. 19.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.193, 
 19.18  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 19.19     Subd. 4.  [ORIGINAL JURISDICTION; JUVENILE COURT.] The 
 19.20  juvenile court shall have original jurisdiction if the child is 
 19.21  alleged to have committed both major and adult court traffic 
 19.22  offenses in the same behavioral incident over: 
 19.23     (1) all juveniles age 15 and under alleged to have 
 19.24  committed any traffic offense; and 
 19.25     (2) 16- and 17-year-olds alleged to have committed any 
 19.26  major traffic offense, except that the adult court has original 
 19.27  jurisdiction over: 
 19.28     (i) petty traffic misdemeanors not a part of the same 
 19.29  behavioral incident of a misdemeanor being handled in juvenile 
 19.30  court; and 
 19.31     (ii) violations of sections 169.121 (drivers under the 
 19.32  influence of alcohol or controlled substance) and 169.129 
 19.33  (aggravated driving while intoxicated), and any other 
 19.34  misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor level traffic violations 
 19.35  committed as part of the same behavioral incident of a violation 
 19.36  of section 169.121 or 169.129. 
 20.1      Sec. 20.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.215, 
 20.2   subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 20.3      Subdivision 1.  [CERTAIN VIOLATIONS NOT CRIMES.] A 
 20.4   violation of a state or local law or ordinance by a child before 
 20.5   becoming 18 years of age is not a crime unless the juvenile 
 20.6   court: 
 20.7      (1) certifies the matter to the district court in 
 20.8   accordance with the provisions of section 260.125; 
 20.9      (2) transfers the matter to a court in accordance with the 
 20.10  provisions of section 260.193; or 
 20.11     (3) convicts the child as an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
 20.12  and subsequently executes the adult sentence under section 
 20.13  260.126, subdivision 5. 
 20.14     Sec. 21.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.291, 
 20.15  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 20.16     Subdivision 1.  [PERSONS ENTITLED TO APPEAL; PROCEDURE.] 
 20.17  (a) An appeal may be taken by the aggrieved person from a final 
 20.18  order of the juvenile court affecting a substantial right of the 
 20.19  aggrieved person, including but not limited to an order 
 20.20  adjudging a child to be in need of protection or services, 
 20.21  neglected and in foster care, delinquent, or a juvenile traffic 
 20.22  offender.  The appeal shall be taken within 30 days of the 
 20.23  filing of the appealable order.  The court administrator shall 
 20.24  notify the person having legal custody of the minor of the 
 20.25  appeal.  Failure to notify the person having legal custody of 
 20.26  the minor shall not affect the jurisdiction of the appellate 
 20.27  court.  The order of the juvenile court shall stand, pending the 
 20.28  determination of the appeal, but the reviewing court may in its 
 20.29  discretion and upon application stay the order. 
 20.30     (b) An appeal may be taken by an aggrieved person from an 
 20.31  order of the juvenile court on the issue of certification of a 
 20.32  child to district court matter for prosecution under the laws 
 20.33  and court procedures controlling adult criminal violations.  
 20.34  Certification appeals shall be expedited as provided by 
 20.35  applicable rules. 
 20.36     Sec. 22.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.055, 
 21.1   subdivision 2, is amended to read:
