 10.17  amount of time remaining in the inmate's executed sentence after 
 10.18  the inmate has served the term of imprisonment and any 
 10.19  disciplinary confinement period imposed by the commissioner. 
 10.20     (b) By August 1, 1993, the commissioner shall modify the

 12.6      To qualify for the exemption in clause (5), a person must 
 12.7   obtain a certificate of exemption from licensing from the 
 12.8   commissioner.  
 12.9      A certificate of exemption will be issued upon the 
 12.10  applicant's filing with the commissioner, an affidavit stating 
 12.11  that the applicant does not expect to exceed $15,000 in gross

 12.22  person must immediately surrender the exemption certificate and 
 12.23  apply for the appropriate license.  The person must remain 
 12.24  licensed until such time as the person's gross annual receipts 
 12.25  during a calendar year fall below $15,000.  The person may then 
 12.26  apply for this exemption for the next calendar year. 
 12.27     Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 609.105,

 13.12  at the Minnesota correctional facility-Red Wing.  In developing 
 13.13  these criteria, the commissioner shall seek and consider the 
 13.14  advice of county representatives.  These criteria must ensure 
 13.15  that juveniles who commit less serious offenses or who do not 
 13.16  need the type of supervision and programming available at Red 
 13.17  Wing are not placed there.  Youth not meeting these established 
 13.18  criteria must not be admitted.  These criteria must ensure that 
 13.19  to the greatest extent possible, juveniles are supervised and 
 13.20  programmed for in the community in which they live or whose 
 13.21  jurisdiction they are under. 
 13.22     (b) By February 15, 1998, the commissioner shall report to
