 25.26     Sec. 18.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 481.01, is 
 25.27  amended to read: 
 25.28     481.01 [BOARD OF LAW EXAMINERS; EXAMINATIONS.] 
 25.29     The supreme court shall, by rule from time to time, 
 25.30  prescribe the qualifications of all applicants for admission to 
 25.31  practice law in this state, and shall appoint a board of law 
 25.32  examiners, which shall be charged with the administration of 
 25.33  such rules and with the examination of all applicants for 
 25.34  admission to practice law.  The board shall consist of not less 
 25.35  than three, nor more than seven, attorneys at law, who shall be 
 25.36  appointed each for the term of three years and until a successor 
 26.1   qualifies.  The supreme court may fill any vacancy in the board 
 26.2   for the unexpired term and in its discretion may remove any 
 26.3   member thereof.  The board shall have a seal and shall keep a 
 26.4   record of its proceedings, of all applications for admission to 
 26.5   practice, and of persons admitted to practice upon its 
 26.6   recommendation.  At least two times a year the board shall hold 
 26.7   examinations and report the result thereof, with its 
 26.8   recommendations, to the supreme court.  Upon consideration of 
 26.9   such report, the supreme court shall enter an order in the case 
 26.10  of each person examined, directing the board to reject or to 
 26.11  issue to the person a certificate of admission to practice.  The 
 26.12  board shall have such officers as may, from time to time, be 
 26.13  prescribed and designated by the supreme court.  The fee for 
 26.14  examination shall be fixed, from time to time, by the supreme 
 26.15  court, but shall not exceed $50.  Such fees, and any other fees 
 26.16  which may be received pursuant to such rules as the supreme 
 26.17  court may promulgate governing the practice of law and 
 26.18  court-related alternative dispute resolution practices shall be 
 26.19  paid to the state treasurer and shall constitute a special fund 
 26.20  in the state treasury.  The moneys in such fund are appropriated 
 26.21  annually to the supreme court for the payment of compensation 
 26.22  and expenses of the members of the board of law examiners and 
 26.23  for otherwise regulating the practice of law.  The moneys in 
 26.24  such fund shall never cancel.  Payments therefrom shall be made 
 26.25  by the state treasurer, upon warrants of the commissioner of 
 26.26  finance issued upon vouchers signed by one of the justices of 
 26.27  the supreme court.  The members of the board shall have such 
 26.28  compensation and such allowances for expenses as may, from time 
 26.29  to time, be fixed by the supreme court. 
 26.30     Sec. 19.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.101, 
 26.31  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 26.32     Subdivision 1.  [SURCHARGES AND ASSESSMENTS.] (a) When a 
 26.33  court sentences a person convicted of a felony, gross 
 26.34  misdemeanor, or misdemeanor, other than a petty misdemeanor such 
 26.35  as a traffic or parking violation, and if the sentence does not 
 26.36  include payment of a fine, the court shall impose an assessment 
 27.1   of not less than $25 nor more than $50.  If the sentence for the 
 27.2   felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor includes payment of a 
 27.3   fine of any amount, including a fine of less than $100, the 
 27.4   court shall impose a surcharge on the fine of 20 percent of the 
 27.5   fine.  This section applies whether or not the person is 
 27.6   sentenced to imprisonment and when the sentence is suspended.  
 27.7      (b) In addition to the assessments in paragraph (a), the 
 27.8   court shall assess the following surcharges a surcharge of $20 
 27.9   after a person is convicted: 
 27.10     (1) for a person charged with a felony, $25; 
 27.11     (2) for a person charged with a gross misdemeanor, $15; 
 27.12     (3) for a person charged with a misdemeanor other than a 
 27.13  traffic, parking, or local ordinance violation, $10; and 
 27.14     (4) for a person charged with a local ordinance violation 
 27.15  other than a parking or traffic violation, $5 of a violation of 
 27.16  state law or local ordinance, other than a traffic or parking 
 27.17  violation.  
 27.18  The surcharge must be assessed for the original charge, whether 
 27.19  or not it is subsequently reduced.  A person charged on more 
 27.20  than one count may be assessed only one surcharge under this 
 27.21  paragraph, but must be assessed for the most serious offense.  
 27.22  This paragraph applies whether or not the person is sentenced to 
 27.23  imprisonment and when the sentence is suspended. 
 27.24     (c) If the court fails to impose an assessment required by 
 27.25  paragraph (a), the court administrator shall correct the record 
 27.26  to show imposition of an assessment of $25 if the sentence does 
 27.27  not include payment of a fine, or if the sentence includes a 
 27.28  fine, to show an imposition of a surcharge of ten percent of the 
 27.29  fine.  If the court fails to impose an assessment required by 
 27.30  paragraph (b), the court administrator shall correct the record 
 27.31  to show imposition of the assessment described in paragraph (b). 
 27.32     (d) Except for assessments and surcharges imposed on 
 27.33  persons convicted of violations described in section 97A.065, 
 27.34  subdivision 2, the court shall collect and forward to the 
 27.35  commissioner of finance the total amount of the assessments or 
 27.36  surcharges and the commissioner shall credit all money so 
 28.1   forwarded to the general fund. 
 28.2      (e) If the convicted person is sentenced to imprisonment, 
 28.3   the chief executive officer of the correctional facility in 
 28.4   which the convicted person is incarcerated may collect the 
 28.5   assessment or surcharge from any earnings the inmate accrues for 
 28.6   work performed in the correctional facility and forward the 
 28.7   amount to the commissioner of finance, indicating the part that 
 28.8   was imposed for violations described in section 97A.065, 
 28.9   subdivision 2, which must be credited to the game and fish fund. 
 28.10     Sec. 20.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.101, 
 28.11  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 28.12     Subd. 2.  [MINIMUM FINES.] Notwithstanding any other law:  
 28.13     (1), when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 28.14  section 609.221, 609.222, 609.223, 609.2231, 609.224, 609.267, 
 28.15  or 609.2671, 609.2672, 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, it 
 28.16  must impose a fine of not less than $500 30 percent of the 
 28.17  maximum fine authorized by law nor more than the maximum fine 
 28.18  authorized by law; 
 28.19     (2) when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 28.20  section 609.222, 609.223, 609.2671, 609.343, 609.344, or 
 28.21  609.345, it must impose a fine of not less than $300 nor more 
 28.22  than the maximum fine authorized by law; and 
 28.23     (3) when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 28.24  section 609.2231, 609.224, or 609.2672, it must impose a fine of 
 28.25  not less than $100 nor more than the maximum fine authorized by 
 28.26  law.  
 28.27     The court shall collect the portion of the fine mandated by 
 28.28  this subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local victim 
 28.29  assistance program that provides services locally in the county 
 28.30  in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
 28.31  remaining 30 percent to the commissioner of finance to be 
 28.32  credited to the general fund.  If more than one victim 
 28.33  assistance program serves the county in which the crime was 
 28.34  committed, the court may designate on a case-by-case basis which 
 28.35  program will receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to 
 28.36  the nature of the crime committed, the types of victims served 
 29.1   by the program, and the funding needs of the program.  If no 
 29.2   victim assistance program serves that county, the court shall 
 29.3   forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the commissioner of 
 29.4   finance to be credited to the general fund.  Fine proceeds 
 29.5   received by a local victim assistance program must be used to 
 29.6   provide direct services to crime victims.  
 29.7      The minimum fine required by this subdivision is in 
 29.8   addition to the surcharge or assessment required by subdivision 
 29.9   1 and is in addition to any sentence of imprisonment or 
 29.10  restitution imposed or ordered by the court. 
 29.11     As used in this subdivision, "victim assistance program" 
 29.12  means victim witness programs within county attorney offices or 
 29.13  any of the following programs:  crime victim crisis centers, 
 29.14  victim-witness programs, battered women shelters and nonshelter 
 29.15  programs, and sexual assault programs. 
 29.16     Sec. 21.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.101, 
 29.17  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 29.18     Subd. 3.  [CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE OFFENSES; MINIMUM FINES.] 
 29.19  (a) Notwithstanding any other law, when a court sentences a 
 29.20  person convicted of a controlled substance crime under sections 
 29.21  152.021 to 152.025, it must impose a fine of not less than 20 30 
 29.22  percent of the maximum fine authorized by law nor more than the 
 29.23  maximum fine authorized by law. 
 29.24     (b) The minimum fine required by this subdivision is in 
 29.25  addition to the surcharge or assessment required by subdivision 
 29.26  1 and is in addition to any sentence of imprisonment or 
 29.27  restitution imposed or ordered by the court. 
 29.28     (c) The court shall collect the fine mandated by this 
 29.29  subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local drug abuse 
 29.30  prevention program existing or being implemented in the county 
 29.31  in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
 29.32  remaining 30 percent to the state treasurer to be credited to 
 29.33  the general fund.  If more than one drug abuse prevention 
 29.34  program serves the county in which the crime was committed, the 
 29.35  court may designate on a case-by-case basis which program will 
 29.36  receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to the community 
 30.1   in which the crime was committed, the funding needs of the 
 30.2   program, the number of peace officers in each community 
 30.3   certified to teach the program, and the number of children 
 30.4   served by the program in each community.  If no drug abuse 
 30.5   prevention program serves communities in that county, the court 
 30.6   shall forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the state 
 30.7   treasurer to be credited to the general fund.  
 30.8      (d) The minimum fines required by this subdivision shall be 
 30.9   collected as are other fines.  Fine proceeds received by a local 
 30.10  drug abuse prevention program must be used to support that 
 30.11  program, and may be used for salaries of peace officers 
 30.12  certified to teach the program.  The drug abuse resistance 
 30.13  education program must report receipt and use of money generated 
 30.14  under this subdivision as prescribed by the drug abuse 
 30.15  resistance education advisory council. 
 30.16     (e) As used in this subdivision, "drug abuse prevention 
 30.17  program" and "program" include: 
 30.18     (1) the drug abuse resistance education program described 
 30.19  in sections 299A.33 and 299A.331; and 
 30.20     (2) any similar drug abuse education and prevention program 
 30.21  that includes the following components: 
 30.22     (A) instruction for students enrolled in kindergarten 
 30.23  through grade six that is designed to teach students to 
 30.24  recognize and resist pressures to experiment with controlled 
 30.25  substances and alcohol; 
 30.26     (B) provisions for parental involvement; 
 30.27     (C) classroom instruction by uniformed law enforcement 
 30.28  personnel; 
 30.29     (D) the use of positive student leaders to influence 
 30.30  younger students not to use drugs; and 
 30.31     (E) an emphasis on activity-oriented techniques designed to 
 30.32  encourage student-generated responses to problem-solving 
 30.33  situations. 
 30.34     Sec. 22.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.135, is 
 30.35  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 30.36     Subd. 8.  [FINE AND SURCHARGE COLLECTION.] A defendant's 
 31.1   obligation to pay court-ordered fines, surcharges, court costs, 
 31.2   and fees shall survive for a period of six years from the date 
 31.3   of the expiration of the defendant's stayed sentence for the 
 31.4   offense for which the fines, surcharges, court costs, and fees 
 31.5   were imposed, or six years from the imposition or due date of 
 31.6   the fines, surcharges, court costs, and fees, whichever is later.
 31.7      Sec. 23.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.748, 
 31.8   subdivision 3a, is amended to read: 
 31.9      Subd. 3a.  [FILING FEE WAIVED.] The filing fees for a 
 31.10  restraining order under this section are waived for the 
 31.11  petitioner shall be as indicated in section 357.021.  The court 
 31.12  administrator and the sheriff of any county in this state shall 
 31.13  perform their duties relating to service of process without 
 31.14  charge to the petitioner.  The court shall direct payment of the 
 31.15  reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private 
 31.16  process server when the sheriff is unavailable or if service is 
 31.17  made by publication, without requiring the petitioner to make 
 31.18  application under section 563.01.  The court may direct a 
 31.19  respondent to pay to the court administrator the petitioner's 
 31.20  filing fees and reasonable costs of service of process if the 
 31.21  court determines that the respondent has the ability to pay the 
 31.22  petitioner's fees and costs. 
 31.23     Sec. 24.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 611.17, is 
 31.24  amended to read: 
 31.25     611.17 [FINANCIAL INQUIRY; STATEMENTS.] 
 31.26     (a) Each judicial district must screen requests under 
 31.27  paragraph (b).  
 31.28     (b) Upon a request for the appointment of counsel, the 
 31.29  court shall make appropriate inquiry into the financial 
 31.30  circumstances of the applicant, who shall submit a financial 
 31.31  statement under oath or affirmation setting forth the 
 31.32  applicant's assets and liabilities, including the value of any 
 31.33  real property owned by the applicant, whether homestead or 
 31.34  otherwise, less the amount of any encumbrances on the real 
 31.35  property, the source or sources of income, and any other 
 31.36  information required by the court.  The applicant shall be under 
 32.1   a continuing duty while represented by a public defender to 
 32.2   disclose any changes in the applicant's financial circumstances 
 32.3   that might be relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a 
 32.4   public defender.  The state public defender shall furnish 
 32.5   appropriate forms for the financial statements.  The forms must 
 32.6   contain conspicuous notice of the applicant's continuing duty to 
 32.7   disclose to the court changes in the applicant's financial 
 32.8   circumstances.  The information contained in the statement shall 
 32.9   be confidential and for the exclusive use of the court and the 
 32.10  public defender appointed by the court to represent the 
 32.11  applicant except for any prosecution under section 609.48.  A 
 32.12  refusal to execute the financial statement or produce financial 
 32.13  records constitutes a waiver of the right to the appointment of 
 32.14  a public defender. 
 32.15     Sec. 25.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 611.20, is 
 32.16  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 32.17     Subd. 4.  [EMPLOYED DEFENDANTS.] A defendant who is 
 32.18  employed when a public defender is appointed, or who becomes 
 32.19  employed while represented by a public defender, shall reimburse 
 32.20  the state for the cost of the public defender.  The court may 
 32.21  accept partial reimbursement from the defendant if the 
 32.22  defendant's financial circumstances warrant a reduced 
 32.23  reimbursement schedule.  The court may consider the guidelines 
 32.24  in subdivision 6 in determining a defendant's reimbursement 
 32.25  schedule.  If a defendant does not agree to make payments, the 
 32.26  court may order the defendant's employer to withhold a 
 32.27  percentage of the defendant's income to be turned over to the 
 32.28  court.  The percentage to be withheld may be determined under 
 32.29  subdivision 6. 
 32.30     Sec. 26.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 611.20, is 
 32.31  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 32.32     Subd. 5.  [REIMBURSEMENT RATE.] Legal fees required to be 
 32.33  reimbursed under subdivision 4, shall be determined by 
 32.34  multiplying the total number of hours worked on the case by a 
 32.35  public defender by $30 per hour.  The public defender assigned 
 32.36  to the defendant's case shall provide to the court, upon the 
 33.1   court's request, a written statement containing the total number 
 33.2   of hours worked on the defendant's case up to the time of the 
 33.3   request. 
 33.4      Sec. 27.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 611.20, is 
 33.5   amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 33.6      Subd. 6.  [REIMBURSEMENT SCHEDULE GUIDELINES.] In 
 33.7   determining a defendant's reimbursement schedule, the court may 
 33.8   derive a specific dollar amount per month by multiplying the 
 33.9   defendant's net income by the percent indicated by the following 
 33.10  guidelines: 
 33.11     
 33.12  Net Income Per              Number of Dependents 
 33.13  Month of Defendant          Not Including Defendant 
 33.14                              4 or     3       2       1      0  
 33.15                              more                      
 33.16  $200 and Below              Percentage based on the ability of 
 33.17                              the defendant to pay as determined 
 33.18                              by the court. 
 33.19  $200 - 350                  8%   9.5%  11%    12.5%  14%

 33.24     "Net income" shall have the meaning given it in section 
 33.25  518.551, subdivision 5. 
 33.26     Sec. 28.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 611.20, is 
 33.27  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 33.28     Subd. 7.  [INCOME WITHHOLDING.] (a) Whenever an obligation 
 33.29  for reimbursement of public defender costs is ordered by a court 
 33.30  under this section, the amount of reimbursement as determined by 
 33.31  court order must be withheld from the income of the person 
 33.32  obligated to pay.  The court shall serve a copy of the 
 33.33  reimbursement order on the defendant's employer.  
 33.34  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the order is binding on 
 33.35  the employer when served.  Withholding must begin no later than 
 33.36  the first pay period that occurs after 14 days following the

 44.14  family members, law enforcement personnel, and social service 
 44.15  professionals regarding the physical and sexual abuse of 
 44.16  children.  The plan must: 
 44.17     (1) identify methods for implementing the telephone 
 44.18  helpline; 
 44.19     (2) identify existing services regarding child abuse 
 44.20  provided by state and local governmental agencies, nonprofit 
 44.21  organizations, and others; 
 44.22     (3) consider strategies to coordinate existing services 
 44.23  into an integrated telephone helpline; 
 44.24     (4) consider the practicality of retraining and redirecting 
 44.25  existing professionals to staff the telephone helpline on a 
 44.26  24-hour basis; 
 44.27     (5) determine what new services, if any, would be required 
 44.28  for the telephone helpline; 
 44.29     (6) determine the costs of implementing the telephone 
 44.30  helpline and ways to reduce costs through coordination of 
 44.31  existing services; and 
 44.32     (7) determine methods of marketing and advertisement to 
 44.33  make the general public aware of the telephone helpline.

 45.2   demonstrated experience in the area of child abuse, child 
 45.3   protection, and in providing consultative services concerning 
 45.4   abuse.  The committee shall also include business and community 
 45.5   representatives and family members who have sought assistance in 
 45.6   child abuse situations. 
 45.7      Subd. 3.  [PILOT PROJECT.] In conjunction with the planning 
 45.8   process under subdivision 1, the commissioner of human services 
 45.9   shall implement at least two pilot project telephone helplines.

 45.28  workload standards, programming effectiveness, and level of risk 
 45.29  of individual offenders, and to make ongoing outcome data 
 45.30  available on cases.  In overseeing and administering the study, 
 45.31  the commissioner of corrections shall use a research team of 
 45.32  experts with proven performance in the development of workload

 45.36  assistance from corrections professionals and other advisors 
 46.1   from communities of interest around the state. 
 46.2      The study must determine a statewide, uniform workload 
 46.3   system and definitions of levels of risk; establish a 
 46.4   standardized data collection system using the uniform 
 46.5   definitions of workload and risk and a timeline for reporting 
 46.6   data, which will begin as soon as these tasks are completed; and

 48.3      Section 1.  [120.1811] [RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITIES; 
 48.4   EDUCATION.] 
 48.5      Subdivision 1.  [EDUCATIONAL SCREENING.] Secure and 
 48.6   nonsecure residential treatment facilities licensed by the 
 48.7   department of human services or the department of corrections 
 48.8   shall screen each juvenile who is held in a facility for at 
 48.9   least 72 hours, excluding weekends or holidays, using an 
 48.10  educational screening tool identified by the department of 
 48.11  education, unless the facility determines that the juvenile has 
 48.12  a current individual education plan and obtains a copy of the 
 48.13  IEP.  The department of education shall develop or identify an 
 48.14  education screening tool for use in residential facilities.  The 
 48.15  tool must include a life skills development component. 
 48.16     Subd. 2.  [RULEMAKING.] The state board of education may 
 48.17  make or amend rules relating to education programs in 
 48.18  residential treatment facilities, if necessary, to implement 
 48.19  this section.  Rules under this section shall be adopted jointly 
 48.20  with the commissioners of corrections and human services. 
 48.21     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 242.31, 
 48.22  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 48.23     Subdivision 1.  Whenever a person who has been committed to 
 48.24  the custody of the commissioner of corrections upon conviction 
 48.25  of a crime following certification to district court under the 
 48.26  provisions of section 260.125 is finally discharged by order of 
 48.27  the commissioner, that discharge shall restore the person to all 
 48.28  civil rights and, if so ordered by the commissioner of 
 48.29  corrections, also shall have the effect of setting aside the 
 48.30  conviction, nullifying it and purging the person of it.  The 
 48.31  commissioner shall file a copy of the order with the district 
 48.32  court of the county in which the conviction occurred; upon 
 48.33  receipt, the court shall order the conviction set aside.  An 
 48.34  order setting aside a conviction for a crime of violence as 
 48.35  defined in section 624.712, subdivision 5, must provide that the 
 48.36  person is not entitled to ship, transport, possess, or receive a 
 49.1   firearm until ten years have elapsed since the order was entered 
 49.2   and during that time the person was not convicted of any other 
 49.3   crime of violence.  A person whose conviction was set aside 
 49.4   under this section and who thereafter has received a relief of 
 49.5   disability under United States Code, title 18, section 925, 
 49.6   shall not be subject to the restrictions of this subdivision. 
 49.7      Sec. 3.  [260.042] [ORIENTATION AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.] 
 49.8      The court shall make an orientation and educational program 
 49.9   available for juveniles and their families in accordance with 
 49.10  the program established, if any, by the supreme court. 
 49.11     Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.115, 
 49.12  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 49.13     Subdivision 1.  [TRANSFERS REQUIRED.] Except where a 
 49.14  juvenile court has certified an alleged violation to district 
 49.15  court in accordance with the provisions of section 260.125, the 
 49.16  child is alleged to have committed murder in the first degree 
 49.17  after becoming 16 years of age, or a court has original 
 49.18  jurisdiction of a child who has committed an adult court traffic 
 49.19  offense, as defined in section 260.193, subdivision 1, clause 
 49.20  (c), a court other than a juvenile court shall immediately 
 49.21  transfer to the juvenile court of the county the case of a minor 
 49.22  who appears before the court on a charge of violating any state 
 49.23  or local law or ordinance and who is under 18 years of age or 
 49.24  who was under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of 
 49.25  the alleged offense. 
 49.26     Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.125, is 
 49.27  amended to read: 
 49.28     260.125 [CERTIFICATION TO DISTRICT COURT.] 
 49.29     Subdivision 1.  When a child is alleged to have committed, 
 49.30  after becoming 14 years of age, an offense that would be a 
 49.31  felony if committed by an adult, the juvenile court may enter an 
 49.32  order certifying the proceeding to the district court for action 
 49.33  under the criminal laws under the laws and court procedures 
 49.34  controlling adult criminal violations. 
 49.35     Subd. 2.  [ORDER OF CERTIFICATION; REQUIREMENTS.] Except as 
 49.36  provided in subdivision 3a or 3b, the juvenile court may order a 
 50.1   certification to district court only if:  
 50.2      (1) a petition has been filed in accordance with the 
 50.3   provisions of section 260.131; 
 50.4      (2) a motion for certification has been filed by the 
 50.5   prosecuting authority; 
 50.6      (3) notice has been given in accordance with the provisions 
 50.7   of sections 260.135 and 260.141; 
 50.8      (4) a hearing has been held in accordance with the 
 50.9   provisions of section 260.155 within 30 days of the filing of 
 50.10  the certification motion, unless good cause is shown by the 
 50.11  prosecution or the child as to why the hearing should not be 
 50.12  held within this period in which case the hearing shall be held 
 50.13  within 90 days of the filing of the motion; 
 50.14     (5) the court finds that there is probable cause, as 
 50.15  defined by the rules of criminal procedure promulgated pursuant 
 50.16  to section 480.059, to believe the child committed the offense 
 50.17  alleged by delinquency petition; and 
 50.18     (6) the court finds either: 
 50.19     (i) that the presumption of certification created by 
 50.20  subdivision 2a applies and the child has not rebutted the 
 50.21  presumption by clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that 
 50.22  retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court serves public 
 50.23  safety; or 
 50.24     (ii) that the presumption of certification does not apply 
 50.25  and the prosecuting authority has demonstrated by clear and 
 50.26  convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in the 
 50.27  juvenile court does not serve public safety.  If the court finds 
 50.28  that the prosecutor has not demonstrated by clear and convincing 
 50.29  evidence that retaining the proceeding in juvenile court does 
 50.30  not serve public safety, the court shall retain the proceeding 
 50.31  in juvenile court. 
 50.32     Subd. 2a.  [PRESUMPTION OF CERTIFICATION.] It is presumed 
 50.33  that a proceeding involving an offense committed by a child will 
 50.34  be certified to district court if: 
 50.35     (1) the child was 16 or 17 years old at the time of the 
 50.36  offense; and 
 51.1      (2) the delinquency petition alleges that the child 
 51.2   committed an offense that would result in a presumptive 
 51.3   commitment to prison under the sentencing guidelines and 
 51.4   applicable statutes, or that the child committed any felony 
 51.5   offense while using, whether by brandishing, displaying, 
 51.6   threatening with, or otherwise employing, a firearm. 
 51.7   If the court determines that probable cause exists to believe 
 51.8   the child committed the alleged offense, the burden is on the 
 51.9   child to rebut this presumption by demonstrating by clear and 
 51.10  convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in the 
 51.11  juvenile court serves public safety.  If the court finds that 
 51.12  the child has not rebutted the presumption by clear and 
 51.13  convincing evidence, the court shall certify the child to 
 51.14  district court proceeding. 
 51.15     Subd. 2b.  [PUBLIC SAFETY.] In determining whether the 
 51.16  public safety is served by certifying a child to district court 
 51.17  the matter, the court shall consider the following factors: 
 51.18     (1) the seriousness of the alleged offense in terms of 
 51.19  community protection, including the existence of any aggravating 
 51.20  factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the use of a 
 51.21  firearm, and the impact on any victim; 
 51.22     (2) the culpability of the child in committing the alleged 
 51.23  offense, including the level of the child's participation in 
 51.24  planning and carrying out the offense and the existence of any 
 51.25  mitigating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines; 
 51.26     (3) the child's prior record of delinquency; 
 51.27     (4) the child's programming history, including the child's 
 51.28  past willingness to participate meaningfully in available 
 51.29  programming; 
 51.30     (5) the adequacy of the punishment or programming available 
 51.31  in the juvenile justice system; and 
 51.32     (6) the dispositional options available for the child. 
 51.33  In considering these factors, the court shall give greater 
 51.34  weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the child's 
 51.35  prior record of delinquency than to the other factors listed in 
 51.36  this subdivision. 
 52.1      Subd. 3a.  [PRIOR CERTIFICATION; EXCEPTION.] 
 52.2   Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 2, 2a, and 2b, 
 52.3   the court shall order a certification in any felony case if the 
 52.4   prosecutor shows that the child has been previously prosecuted 
 52.5   on a felony charge by an order of certification issued pursuant 
 52.6   to either a hearing held under subdivision 2 or pursuant to the 
 52.7   waiver of the right to such a hearing, other than a prior 
 52.8   certification in the same case. 
 52.9      This subdivision only applies if the child is convicted of 
 52.10  the offense or offenses for which the child was prosecuted 
 52.11  pursuant to the order of certification or of a lesser-included 
 52.12  offense which is a felony.  
 52.13     This subdivision does not apply to juvenile offenders who 
 52.14  are subject to criminal court jurisdiction under section 609.055.
 52.15     Subd. 3b.  [ADULT CHARGED WITH JUVENILE OFFENSE.] The 
 52.16  juvenile court has jurisdiction to hold a certification hearing 
 52.17  on motion of the prosecuting authority to certify the matter to 
 52.18  district court if: 
 52.19     (1) an adult is alleged to have committed an offense before 
 52.20  the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 52.21     (2) a petition is filed under section 260.131 before 
 52.22  expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26. 
 52.23  The court may not certify the matter to district court under 
 52.24  this subdivision if the adult demonstrates that the delay was 
 52.25  purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
 52.26  advantage. 
 52.27     Subd. 4.  [EFFECT OF ORDER.] When the juvenile court enters 
 52.28  an order certifying an alleged violation to district court, the 
 52.29  prosecuting authority shall proceed with the case as if the 
 52.30  jurisdiction of the juvenile court had never attached. 
 52.31     Subd. 5.  [WRITTEN FINDINGS; OPTIONS.] The court shall 
 52.32  decide whether to order certification to district court within 
 52.33  15 days after the certification hearing was completed, unless 
 52.34  additional time is needed, in which case the court may extend 
 52.35  the period up to another 15 days.  If the juvenile court orders 
 52.36  certification, and the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 53.1   does not apply, the order shall contain in writing, findings of 
 53.2   fact and conclusions of law as to why public safety is not 
 53.3   served by retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court.  If 
 53.4   the juvenile court, after a hearing conducted pursuant to 
 53.5   subdivision 2, decides not to order certification to district 
 53.6   court, the decision shall contain, in writing, findings of fact 
 53.7   and conclusions of law as to why certification is not ordered.  
 53.8   If the juvenile court decides not to order certification in a 
 53.9   case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 53.10  applies, the court shall designate the proceeding an extended 
 53.11  jurisdiction juvenile prosecution and include in its decision 
 53.12  written findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why the 
 53.13  retention of the proceeding in juvenile court serves public 
 53.14  safety, with specific reference to the factors listed in 
 53.15  subdivision 2b.  If the court decides not to order certification 
 53.16  in a case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a 
 53.17  does not apply, the court may designate the proceeding an 
 53.18  extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, pursuant to the 
 53.19  hearing process described in section 260.126, subdivision 2. 
 53.20     Subd. 6.  [FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.] When a motion for 
 53.21  certification has been filed in a case in which the petition 
 53.22  alleges that the child committed murder in the first degree, the 
 53.23  prosecuting authority shall present the case to the grand jury 
 53.24  for consideration of indictment under chapter 628 within 14 days 
 53.25  after the petition was filed. 
 53.26     Subd. 7.  [INAPPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN OFFENDERS.] This 
 53.27  section does not apply to a child excluded from the definition 
 53.28  of delinquent child under section 260.015, subdivision 5, 
 53.29  paragraph (b). 
 53.30     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.126, 
 53.31  subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
 53.32     Subd. 5.  [EXECUTION OF ADULT SENTENCE.] When it appears 
 53.33  that a person convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile has 
 53.34  violated the conditions of the stayed sentence, or is alleged to 
 53.35  have committed a new offense, the court may, without notice, 
 53.36  revoke the stay and probation and direct that the offender be 
 54.1   taken into immediate custody.  The court shall notify the 
 54.2   offender in writing of the reasons alleged to exist for 
 54.3   revocation of the stay of execution of the adult sentence.  If 
 54.4   the offender challenges the reasons, the court shall hold a 
 54.5   summary hearing on the issue at which the offender is entitled 
 54.6   to be heard and represented by counsel.  After the hearing, if 
 54.7   the court finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay of 
 54.8   execution of sentence, the court shall treat the offender as an 
 54.9   adult and order any of the adult sanctions authorized by section 
 54.10  609.14, subdivision 3.  If the offender was convicted of an 
 54.11  offense described in subdivision 1, clause (2), and the court 
 54.12  finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay, the court must 
 54.13  order execution of the previously imposed sentence unless the 
 54.14  court makes written findings regarding the mitigating factors 
 54.15  that justify continuing the stay.  Upon revocation, the 
 54.16  offender's extended jurisdiction status is terminated and 
 54.17  juvenile court jurisdiction is terminated.  The ongoing 
 54.18  jurisdiction for any adult sanction, other than commitment to 
 54.19  the commissioner of corrections, is with the adult court. 
 54.20     Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.131, 
 54.21  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 54.22     Subd. 4.  [DELINQUENCY PETITION; EXTENDED JURISDICTION 
 54.23  JUVENILE.] When a prosecutor files a delinquency petition 
 54.24  alleging that a child committed a felony offense for which there 
 54.25  is a presumptive commitment to prison according to the 
 54.26  sentencing guidelines and applicable statutes or in which the 
 54.27  child used a firearm, after reaching the age of 16 years, the 
 54.28  prosecutor shall indicate in the petition whether the prosecutor 
 54.29  designates the proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
 54.30  prosecution.  When a prosecutor files a delinquency petition 
 54.31  alleging that a child aged 14 to 17 years committed a felony 
 54.32  offense, the prosecutor may request that the court designate the 
 54.33  proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution. 
 54.34     Sec. 8.  [260.1735] [EXTENSION OF DETENTION PERIOD.] 
 54.35     Before July 1, 1997, and pursuant to a request from an 
 54.36  eight-day temporary holdover facility, as defined in section 
 55.1   241.0221, the commissioner of corrections, or the commissioner's 
 55.2   designee, may grant a one-time extension per child to the 
 55.3   eight-day limit on detention under this chapter.  This extension 
 55.4   may allow such a facility to detain a child for up to 30 days 
 55.5   including weekends and holidays.  Upon the expiration of the 
 55.6   extension, the child may not be transferred to another eight-day 
 55.7   temporary holdover facility.  The commissioner shall develop 
 55.8   criteria for granting extensions under this section.  These 
 55.9   criteria must ensure that the child be transferred to a 
 55.10  long-term juvenile detention facility as soon as such a transfer 
 55.11  is possible.  Nothing in this section changes the requirements 
 55.12  in section 260.172 regarding the necessity of detention hearings 
 55.13  to determine whether continued detention of the child is proper. 
 55.14     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.181, 
 55.15  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 55.16     Subd. 4.  [TERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.] (a) The court may 
 55.17  dismiss the petition or otherwise terminate its jurisdiction on 
 55.18  its own motion or on the motion or petition of any interested 
 55.19  party at any time.  Unless terminated by the court, and except 
 55.20  as otherwise provided in this subdivision, the jurisdiction of 
 55.21  the court shall continue until the individual becomes 19 years 
 55.22  of age if the court determines it is in the best interest of the 
 55.23  individual to do so.  Court jurisdiction under section 260.015, 
 55.24  subdivision 2a, clause (12), may not continue past the child's 
 55.25  17th birthday.  
 55.26     (b) The jurisdiction of the court over an extended 
 55.27  jurisdiction juvenile, with respect to the offense for which the 
 55.28  individual was convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile, 
 55.29  extends until the offender becomes 21 years of age, unless the 
 55.30  court terminates jurisdiction before that date.  
 55.31     (c) The juvenile court has jurisdiction to designate the 
 55.32  proceeding an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, to 
 55.33  hold a certification hearing, or to conduct a trial, receive a 
 55.34  plea, or impose a disposition under section 260.126, subdivision 
 55.35  4, if: 
 55.36     (1) an adult is alleged to have committed an offense before 
 56.1   the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 56.2      (2) a petition is filed under section 260.131 before 
 56.3   expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26 and 
 56.4   before the adult's 21st birthday. 
 56.5   The juvenile court lacks jurisdiction under this paragraph if 
 56.6   the adult demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by 
 56.7   the state in order to gain an unfair advantage. 
 56.8      (d) The district court has original and exclusive 
 56.9   jurisdiction over a proceeding: 
 56.10     (1) that involves an adult who is alleged to have committed 
 56.11  an offense before the adult's 18th birthday; and 
 56.12     (2) in which a criminal complaint is filed before 
 56.13  expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26 and after 
 56.14  the adult's 21st birthday. 
 56.15     The juvenile court retains jurisdiction if the adult 
 56.16  demonstrates that the delay in filing a criminal complaint was 
 56.17  purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
 56.18  advantage. 
 56.19     (e) The juvenile court has jurisdiction over a person who 
 56.20  has been adjudicated delinquent until the person's 21st birthday 
 56.21  if the person fails to appear at any juvenile court hearing or 
 56.22  fails to appear at or absconds from any placement under a 
 56.23  juvenile court order.  The juvenile court has jurisdiction over 
 56.24  a convicted extended jurisdiction juvenile who fails to appear 
 56.25  at any juvenile court hearing or fails to appear at or absconds 
 56.26  from any placement under section 260.126, subdivision 4.  The 
 56.27  juvenile court lacks jurisdiction under this paragraph if the 
 56.28  adult demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the 
 56.29  state in order to gain an unfair advantage. 
 56.30     Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, is 
 56.31  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 56.32     Subd. 1b.  [COMMITMENT TO SECURE FACILITY; LENGTH OF STAY; 
 56.33  TRANSFERS.] An adjudicated juvenile may not be placed in a 
 56.34  licensed juvenile secure treatment facility unless the placement 
 56.35  is approved by the juvenile court.  However, the program 
 56.36  administrator may determine the juvenile's length of stay in the 
 57.1   secure portion of the facility.  The administrator shall notify 
 57.2   the court of any movement of juveniles from secure portions of 
 57.3   facilities.  However, the court may, in its discretion, order 
 57.4   that the juveniles be moved back to secure portions of the 
 57.5   facility. 
 57.6      Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, is 
 57.7   amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 57.8      Subd. 1c.  [PLACEMENT OF JUVENILES IN SECURE FACILITIES; 
 57.9   REQUIREMENTS.] Before a postadjudication placement of a juvenile 
 57.10  in a secure treatment facility either inside or outside the 
 57.11  state, the court may: 
 57.12     (1) consider whether the juvenile has been adjudicated for 
 57.13  a felony offense against the person or that in addition to the 
 57.14  current adjudication, the juvenile has failed to appear in court 
 57.15  on one or more occasions or has run away from home on one or 
 57.16  more occasions; 
 57.17     (2) conduct a subjective assessment to determine whether 
 57.18  the child is a danger to self or others or would abscond from a 
 57.19  nonsecure facility or if the child's health or welfare would be 
 57.20  endangered if not placed in a secure facility; 
 57.21     (3) conduct a culturally appropriate psychological 
 57.22  evaluation which includes a functional assessment of anger and 
 57.23  abuse issues; and 
 57.24     (4) conduct an educational and physical assessment of the 
 57.25  juvenile. 
 57.26     In determining whether to order secure placement, the court 
 57.27  shall consider the necessity of: 
 57.28     (1) protecting the public; 
 57.29     (2) protecting program residents and staff; and 
 57.30     (3) preventing juveniles with histories of absconding from 
 57.31  leaving treatment programs. 
 57.32     Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.185, 
 57.33  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
 57.34     Subd. 6.  [OUT-OF-STATE PLACEMENTS.] (a) Before August 1, 
 57.35  1997, a court may not place a preadjudicated delinquent, an 
 57.36  adjudicated delinquent, or a convicted extended jurisdiction 
 58.1   juvenile in a residential or detention facility outside 
 58.2   Minnesota unless the commissioner of corrections has certified 
 58.3   that the facility: 
 58.4      (1) meets or exceeds the standards for Minnesota 
 58.5   residential treatment programs set forth in rules adopted by the 
 58.6   commissioner of human services and the standards for juvenile 
 58.7   residential facilities set forth in rules adopted by the 
 58.8   commissioner of corrections or the standards for juvenile 
 58.9   detention facilities set forth in rules adopted by the 
 58.10  commissioner of corrections; and 
 58.11     (2) provides education, health, dental, and other necessary 
 58.12  care equivalent to that which the child would receive if placed 
 58.13  in a Minnesota facility licensed by the commissioner of 
 58.14  corrections or commissioner of human services. 
 58.15     (b) On or after August 1, 1997, a court may not place a 
 58.16  preadjudicated delinquent, an adjudicated delinquent, or a 
 58.17  convicted extended jurisdiction juvenile in a residential or 
 58.18  detention facility outside Minnesota unless the court determines 
 58.19  that the specialized programmatic needs of the juvenile are not 
 58.20  available in a facility within Minnesota and the out-of-state 
 58.21  facility has been certified by the commissioner of corrections 
 58.22  under paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (2).  For purposes of this 
 58.23  subdivision, "specialized programmatic needs" does not include 
 58.24  concerns about security.  A court may place a juvenile in a 
 58.25  facility which is out of state and which has been certified by 
 58.26  the commissioner of corrections under paragraph (a), clauses (1) 
 58.27  and (2), if the facility is located within 100 miles of the 
 58.28  juvenile's residence and there is no Minnesota facility within 
 58.29  100 miles from the juvenile's residence that meets the 
 58.30  specialized program and security needs of the juvenile. 
 58.31     (c) The interagency licensing agreement between the 
 58.32  commissioners of corrections and human services shall be used to 
 58.33  determine which rule shall be used for certification purposes 
 58.34  under this subdivision. 
 58.35     (c) (d) The commissioner of corrections may charge each 
 58.36  facility evaluated a reasonable amount.  Money received is 
 59.1   annually appropriated to the commissioner of corrections to 
 59.2   defray the costs of the certification program. 
 59.3      Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.193, 
 59.4   subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 59.5      Subd. 4.  [ORIGINAL JURISDICTION; JUVENILE COURT.] The 
 59.6   juvenile court shall have original jurisdiction if the child is 
 59.7   alleged to have committed both major and adult court traffic 
 59.8   offenses in the same behavioral incident over: 
 59.9      (1) all juveniles age 15 and under alleged to have 
 59.10  committed any traffic offense; and 
 59.11     (2) 16- and 17-year-olds alleged to have committed any 
 59.12  major traffic offense, except that the adult court has original 
 59.13  jurisdiction over: 
 59.14     (i) petty traffic misdemeanors not a part of the same 
 59.15  behavioral incident of a misdemeanor being handled in juvenile 
 59.16  court; and 
 59.17     (ii) violations of sections 169.121 (drivers under the 
 59.18  influence of alcohol or controlled substance) and 169.129 
 59.19  (aggravated driving while intoxicated), and any other 
 59.20  misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor level traffic violations 
 59.21  committed as part of the same behavioral incident of a violation 
 59.22  of section 169.121 or 169.129. 
 59.23     Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.215, 
 59.24  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 59.25     Subdivision 1.  [CERTAIN VIOLATIONS NOT CRIMES.] A 
 59.26  violation of a state or local law or ordinance by a child before 
 59.27  becoming 18 years of age is not a crime unless the juvenile 
 59.28  court: 
 59.29     (1) certifies the matter to the district court in 
 59.30  accordance with the provisions of section 260.125; 
 59.31     (2) transfers the matter to a court in accordance with the 
 59.32  provisions of section 260.193; or 
 59.33     (3) convicts the child as an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
 59.34  and subsequently executes the adult sentence under section 
 59.35  260.126, subdivision 5. 
 59.36     Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.291, 
 60.1   subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 60.2      Subdivision 1.  [PERSONS ENTITLED TO APPEAL; PROCEDURE.] 
 60.3   (a) An appeal may be taken by the aggrieved person from a final 
 60.4   order of the juvenile court affecting a substantial right of the 
 60.5   aggrieved person, including but not limited to an order 
 60.6   adjudging a child to be in need of protection or services, 
 60.7   neglected and in foster care, delinquent, or a juvenile traffic 
 60.8   offender.  The appeal shall be taken within 30 days of the 
 60.9   filing of the appealable order.  The court administrator shall 
 60.10  notify the person having legal custody of the minor of the 
 60.11  appeal.  Failure to notify the person having legal custody of 
 60.12  the minor shall not affect the jurisdiction of the appellate 
 60.13  court.  The order of the juvenile court shall stand, pending the 
 60.14  determination of the appeal, but the reviewing court may in its 
 60.15  discretion and upon application stay the order. 
 60.16     (b) An appeal may be taken by an aggrieved person from an 
 60.17  order of the juvenile court on the issue of certification of a 
 60.18  child to district court matter for prosecution under the laws 
 60.19  and court procedures controlling adult criminal violations.  
 60.20  Certification appeals shall be expedited as provided by 
 60.21  applicable rules. 
 60.22     Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.055, 
 60.23  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 60.24     Subd. 2.  [ADULT PROSECUTION.] (a) Except as otherwise 
 60.25  provided in paragraph (b), children of the age of 14 years or 
 60.26  over but under 18 years may be prosecuted for a felony offense

 60.29  adult criminal violations or may be designated an extended 
 60.30  jurisdiction juvenile in accordance with the provisions of 
 60.31  chapter 260.  A child who is 16 years of age or older but under 
 60.32  18 years of age is capable of committing a crime and may be 
 60.33  prosecuted for a felony if: 
 60.34     (1) the child has been previously certified to the district 
 60.35  court on a felony charge pursuant to a hearing under section 
 60.36  260.125, subdivision 2, or pursuant to the waiver of the right 
 61.1   to such a hearing, or prosecuted pursuant to this subdivision; 
 61.2   and 
 61.3      (2) the child was convicted of the felony offense or 
 61.4   offenses for which the child was prosecuted or of a lesser 
 61.5   included felony offense.

 61.10  attempted murder in the first degree after becoming 16 years of

 62.3      (b) If When the court grants the prosecutor's motion orders 
 62.4   an offender to submit to testing under paragraph (a), the court 
 62.5   shall order that the test be performed by an appropriate health 
 62.6   professional who is trained to provide the counseling described 
 62.7   in section 144.763, and that no reference to the test, the

 63.10  TREATMENT FACILITIES.] 
 63.11     The commissioners of corrections and human services shall

 63.29  the secure and nonsecure residential treatment facilities that 
 63.30  they license and shall establish an advisory committee to

 86.25  such person is afflicted with or suffering from such physical or 
 86.26  mental disability or disease as will affect such person in a 
 86.27  manner to prevent the person from exercising reasonable and 
 86.28  ordinary control over a motor vehicle while operating the same

 87.4      Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.131, is 
 87.5   amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 87.6      Subd. 1b.  [CHILD IN NEED OF PROTECTION OR SERVICES; 
 87.7   HABITUAL TRUANT.] If there is a county attorney mediation 
 87.8   program operating in the child's school district, a petition 
 87.9   alleging that a child is in need of protection or services as a 
 87.10  habitual truant under section 260.015, subdivision 2a, clause 
 87.11  (2), may not be filed until the applicable procedures under 
 87.12  section 260A.05 have been exhausted. 
 87.13     Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.132, 
 87.14  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 87.15     Subdivision 1.  [NOTICE.] When a peace officer, or 
 87.16  attendance officer in the case of a habitual truant, has 
 87.17  probable cause to believe that a child: 
 87.18     (1) is in need of protection or services under section 
 87.19  260.015, subdivision 2a, clause (11) or (12); 
 87.20     (2) is a juvenile petty offender; or 
 87.21     (3) has committed a delinquent act that would be a petty 
 87.22  misdemeanor or misdemeanor if committed by an adult; 
 87.23  the officer may issue a notice to the child to appear in 
 87.24  juvenile court in the county in which the child is found or in 
 87.25  the county of the child's residence or, in the case of a 
 87.26  juvenile petty offense, or a petty misdemeanor or misdemeanor 
 87.27  delinquent act, the county in which the offense was committed.  
 87.28  If there is a county attorney mediation program operating in the 
 87.29  child's school district, a notice to appear in juvenile court 
 87.30  for a habitual truant may not be issued until the applicable 
 87.31  procedures under section 260A.05 have been exhausted.  The 
 87.32  officer shall file a copy of the notice to appear with the 
 87.33  juvenile court of the appropriate county.  If a child fails to 
 87.34  appear in response to the notice, the court may issue a summons 
 87.35  notifying the child of the nature of the offense alleged and the 
 87.36  time and place set for the hearing.  If the peace officer finds 
 88.1   it necessary to take the child into custody, sections 260.165 
 88.2   and 260.171 shall apply. 
 88.3      Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.132, 
 88.4   subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 88.5      Subd. 4.  [TRUANT.] When a peace officer or probation 
 88.6   officer has probable cause to believe that a child is currently 
 88.7   under age 16 and absent from school without lawful excuse, the 
 88.8   officer may transport the child to the child's home and deliver 
 88.9   the child to the custody of the child's parent or guardian, 
 88.10  transport the child to the child's school of enrollment and 
 88.11  deliver the child to the custody of a school superintendent or 
 88.12  teacher or transport the child to a truancy service center under 
 88.13  section 260A.04, subdivision 3.  For purposes of this 
 88.14  subdivision, a truancy service center is a facility that 
 88.15  receives truant students from peace officers or probation 
 88.16  officers and takes appropriate action including one or more of 
 88.17  the following: 
 88.18     (1) assessing the truant's attendance situation; 
 88.19     (2) assisting in coordinating intervention efforts where 
 88.20  appropriate;

 88.25  school. 
 88.26     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 260.191, 
 88.27  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 88.28     Subdivision 1.  [DISPOSITIONS.] (a) If the court finds that 
 88.29  the child is in need of protection or services or neglected and 
 88.30  in foster care, it shall enter an order making any of the 
 88.31  following dispositions of the case: 
 88.32     (1) place the child under the protective supervision of the 
 88.33  local social services agency or child-placing agency in the 
 88.34  child's own home under conditions prescribed by the court 
 88.35  directed to the correction of the child's need for protection or 
 88.36  services; 
 89.1      (2) transfer legal custody to one of the following: 
 89.2      (i) a child-placing agency; or 
 89.3      (ii) the local social services agency. 
 89.4      In placing a child whose custody has been transferred under 
 89.5   this paragraph, the agencies shall follow the order of 
 89.6   preference stated in section 260.181, subdivision 3; 
 89.7      (3) if the child is in need of special treatment and care 
 89.8   for reasons of physical or mental health, the court may order 
 89.9   the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to provide it.  If 
 89.10  the parent, guardian, or custodian fails or is unable to provide 
 89.11  this treatment or care, the court may order it provided.  The 
 89.12  court shall not transfer legal custody of the child for the 
 89.13  purpose of obtaining special treatment or care solely because 
 89.14  the parent is unable to provide the treatment or care.  If the 
 89.15  court's order for mental health treatment is based on a 
 89.16  diagnosis made by a treatment professional, the court may order 
 89.17  that the diagnosing professional not provide the treatment to 
 89.18  the child if it finds that such an order is in the child's best 
 89.19  interests; or 
 89.20     (4) if the court believes that the child has sufficient 
 89.21  maturity and judgment and that it is in the best interests of 
 89.22  the child, the court may order a child 16 years old or older to 
 89.23  be allowed to live independently, either alone or with others as 
 89.24  approved by the court under supervision the court considers 
 89.25  appropriate, if the county board, after consultation with the 
 89.26  court, has specifically authorized this dispositional 
 89.27  alternative for a child. 
 89.28     (b) If the child was adjudicated in need of protection or 
 89.29  services because the child is a runaway or habitual truant, the 
 89.30  court may order any of the following dispositions in addition to 
 89.31  or as alternatives to the dispositions authorized under 
 89.32  paragraph (a): 
 89.33     (1) counsel the child or the child's parents, guardian, or 
 89.34  custodian; 
 89.35     (2) place the child under the supervision of a probation 
 89.36  officer or other suitable person in the child's own home under 
 90.1   conditions prescribed by the court, including reasonable rules 
 90.2   for the child's conduct and the conduct of the parents, 
 90.3   guardian, or custodian, designed for the physical, mental, and 
 90.4   moral well-being and behavior of the child; or with the consent 
 90.5   of the commissioner of corrections, place the child in a group 
 90.6   foster care facility which is under the commissioner's 
 90.7   management and supervision; 
 90.8      (3) subject to the court's supervision, transfer legal 
 90.9   custody of the child to one of the following: 
 90.10     (i) a reputable person of good moral character.  No person 
 90.11  may receive custody of two or more unrelated children unless 
 90.12  licensed to operate a residential program under sections 245A.01 
 90.13  to 245A.16; or 
 90.14     (ii) a county probation officer for placement in a group 
 90.15  foster home established under the direction of the juvenile 
 90.16  court and licensed pursuant to section 241.021; 
 90.17     (4) require the child to pay a fine of up to $100.  The 
 90.18  court shall order payment of the fine in a manner that will not 
 90.19  impose undue financial hardship upon the child; 
 90.20     (5) require the child to participate in a community service 
 90.21  project; 
 90.22     (6) order the child to undergo a chemical dependency 
 90.23  evaluation and, if warranted by the evaluation, order 
 90.24  participation by the child in a drug awareness program or an 
 90.25  inpatient or outpatient chemical dependency treatment program; 
 90.26     (7) if the court believes that it is in the best interests 
 90.27  of the child and of public safety that the child's driver's 
 90.28  license or instruction permit be canceled, the court may 
 90.29  recommend to order the commissioner of public safety that to 
 90.30  cancel the child's license be canceled or permit for any period 
 90.31  up to the child's 18th birthday.  If the child does not have a 
 90.32  driver's license or permit, the court may order a denial of 
 90.33  driving privileges for any period up to the child's 18th 
 90.34  birthday.  The court shall forward an order issued under this 
 90.35  clause to the commissioner is authorized to, who shall cancel 
 90.36  the license or permit or deny driving privileges without a 
 91.1   hearing for the period specified by the court.  At any time 
 91.2   before the expiration of the period of cancellation or denial, 
 91.3   the court may, for good cause, recommend to order the 
 91.4   commissioner of public safety that to allow the child be 
 91.5   authorized to apply for a new license or permit, and the 
 91.6   commissioner may shall so authorize; or 
 91.7      (8) order that the child's parent or legal guardian deliver 
 91.8   the child to school at the beginning of each school day for a 
 91.9   period of time specified by the court; or 
 91.10     (9) require the child to perform any other activities or 
 91.11  participate in any other treatment programs deemed appropriate 
 91.12  by the court.  
 91.13     (c) If a child is adjudicated in need of protection or 
 91.14  services because the child is a habitual truant and truancy 
 91.15  procedures involving the child were previously dealt with by a 
 91.16  county attorney mediation program under section 260A.05, the 
 91.17  court shall order a cancellation or denial of driving privileges 
 91.18  under paragraph (b), clause (7), until the child's 18th birthday.
 91.19     Sec. 7.  [260A.01] [TRUANCY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.] 
 91.20     The programs in this chapter are designed to provide a 
 91.21  continuum of intervention and services to support families and 
 91.22  children in keeping children in school and combating truancy and 
 91.23  educational neglect.  School districts, county attorneys, and 
 91.24  law enforcement may establish the programs and coordinate them 
 91.25  with other community-based truancy services in order to provide 
 91.26  the necessary and most effective intervention for children and 
 91.27  their families.  This continuum of intervention and services 
 91.28  involves progressively intrusive intervention, beginning with 
 91.29  strong service-oriented efforts at the school and community 
 91.30  level and involving the court's authority only when necessary. 
 91.31     Sec. 8.  [260A.02] [DEFINITIONS.] 
 91.32     Subdivision 1.  [SCOPE.] The definition in this section 
 91.33  applies to this chapter. 
 91.34     Subd. 2.  [CONTINUING TRUANT.] "Continuing truant" means a 
 91.35  child who is subject to the compulsory instruction requirements 
 91.36  of section 120.101 and is absent from instruction in a school, 
 92.1   as defined in section 120.05, without valid excuse within a 
 92.2   single school year for: 
 92.3      (1) three days if the child is in elementary school; or 
 92.4      (2) four or more class periods on three days if the child 
 92.5   is in middle school, junior high school, or high school. 
 92.6      A child is not a continuing truant if the child is 
 92.7   withdrawn from school by the child's parents because of a 
 92.8   dispute with the school concerning the provision of special 
 92.9   education services under the Individuals with Disabilities 
 92.10  Education Act or accommodations and modifications under the 
 92.11  Americans with Disabilities Act, if the parent makes good faith 
 92.12  efforts to provide the child educational services from any other 
 92.13  source.  No parent who withdraws a child from school during a 
 92.14  dispute with the school concerning the provision of special 
 92.15  education services or accommodations and modifications is 
 92.16  required to file home school papers, if the parent provides 
 92.17  written notice to the department of education or the district of 
 92.18  the plan for the child's education. 
 92.19     Nothing in this section shall prevent a school district 
 92.20  from notifying a truant child's parent or legal guardian of the 
 92.21  child's truancy or otherwise addressing a child's attendance 
 92.22  problems prior to the child becoming a continuing truant.

 92.24  IS A CONTINUING TRUANT.] 
 92.25     Upon a child's initial classification as a continuing 
 92.26  truant, the school attendance officer or other designated school 
 92.27  official shall notify the child's parent or legal guardian, by 
 92.28  first-class mail or other reasonable means, of the following: 
 92.29     (1) that the child is truant; 
 92.30     (2) that the parent or guardian should notify the school if 
 92.31  there is a valid excuse for the child's absences; 
 92.32     (3) that the parent or guardian is obligated to compel the 
 92.33  attendance of the child at school pursuant to section 120.101 
 92.34  and parents or guardians who fail to meet this obligation may be 
 92.35  subject to prosecution under section 127.20; 
 92.36     (4) that this notification serves as the notification 
 93.1   required by section 127.20; 
 93.2      (5) that alternative educational programs and services may 
 93.3   be available in the district; 
 93.4      (6) that the parent or guardian has the right to meet with

 93.6   truancy; 
 93.7      (7) that if the child continues to be truant, the parent 
 93.8   and child may be subject to juvenile court proceedings under 
 93.9   chapter 260;

 93.11  proceedings, the child may be subject to suspension, 
 93.12  restriction, or delay of the child's driving privilege pursuant 
 93.13  to section 260.191; and 
 93.14     (9) that it is recommended that the parent or guardian 
 93.15  accompany the child to school and attend classes with the child 
 93.16  for one day. 
 93.17     Sec. 10.  [260A.04] [COMMUNITY-BASED TRUANCY PROJECTS AND 
 93.18  SERVICE CENTERS.]

 94.5   mentoring, and mediation; 
 94.6      (3) transition services to integrate the child back into

 94.13     Subd. 3.  [TRUANCY SERVICE CENTERS.] (a) Truancy service 
 94.14  centers may be established as facilities to receive truant
