 10.1   169A.20 (driving while impaired) within ten years of a qualified 
 10.2   prior impaired driving incident to either:  
 10.3      (1) a minimum of 30 days of incarceration, at least 48

 12.26  of care recommended in the chemical use assessment conducted

 26.20  purposes of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), evidence 
 26.21  that there was at the time an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or

 26.32  including tests obtained more than two hours after the alleged 
 26.33  violation and results obtained from partial tests on an infrared 
 26.34  breath-testing instrument.  A result from a partial test is the 
 26.35  measurement obtained by analyzing one adequate breath sample, as

 27.9   person having an alcohol concentration of 0.20 or more as 
 27.10  measured at the time, or within two hours of the time, of the 
 27.11  offense, that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of 
 27.12  alcohol after the time of the violation and before the 
 27.13  administration of the evidentiary test to cause the defendant's 
 27.14  alcohol concentration to exceed the level specified in the 
 27.15  applicable clause.  Evidence that the defendant consumed alcohol 
 27.16  after the time of the violation may not be admitted in defense

 27.28     Sec. 28.  [169A.47] [NOTICE OF ENHANCED PENALTY.] 
 27.29     When a court sentences a person for a violation of sections 
 27.30  169A.20 to 169A.31 (impaired driving offenses), it shall inform 
 27.31  the defendant of the statutory provisions that provide for 
 27.32  enhancement of criminal penalties for repeat violators, and the 
 27.33  provisions that provide for administrative plate impoundment and 
 27.34  forfeiture of motor vehicles used to commit an impaired driving 
 27.35  offense.  The notice must describe the conduct and the time 
 27.36  periods within which the conduct must occur in order to result 
 28.1   in increased penalties, plate impoundment, or forfeiture.  The 
 28.2   failure of a court to provide this information to a defendant 
 28.3   does not affect the future applicability of these enhanced 
 28.4   penalties to that defendant. <i>[169.121, subd. 3, par. (d), and</i> 
 28.5   <i>subd. 3c]</i> 
 28.6      Sec. 29.  [169A.48] [IMMUNITY FROM LIABILITY.] 
 28.7      Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] For purposes of this section, 
 28.8   "political subdivision" means a county, statutory or home rule 
 28.9   charter city, or town. 
 28.10     Subd. 2.  [IMMUNITY.] The state or political subdivision by 
 28.11  which a peace officer making an arrest for violation of sections 
 28.12  169A.20 to 169A.33 (impaired driving offenses), is employed has 
 28.13  immunity from any liability, civil or criminal, for the care or 
 28.14  custody of the motor vehicle being driven by, operated by, or in 
 28.15  the physical control of the person arrested if the peace officer 
 28.16  acts in good faith and exercises due care. <i>[169.121, subd. 9]</i>

 28.20  consent law. <i>[new]</i> 
 28.21     Sec. 31.  [169A.51] [CHEMICAL TESTS FOR INTOXICATION.] 
 28.22     Subdivision 1.  [IMPLIED CONSENT; CONDITIONS; ELECTION OF 
 28.23  TEST.] (a) Any person who drives, operates, or is in physical 
 28.24  control of a motor vehicle within this state or on any boundary 
 28.25  water of this state consents, subject to the provisions of 
 28.26  sections 169A.50 to 169A.53 (implied consent law), and section 
 28.27  169A.20 (driving while impaired), to a chemical test of that 
 28.28  person's blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining 
 28.29  the presence of alcohol, controlled substances, or hazardous 
 28.30  substances.  The test must be administered at the direction of a 
 28.31  peace officer. 
 28.32     (b) The test may be required of a person when an officer 
 28.33  has probable cause to believe the person was driving, operating, 
 28.34  or in physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of 
 28.35  section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), and one of the 
 28.36  following conditions exist: 
 29.1      (1) the person has been lawfully placed under arrest for 
 29.2   violation of section 169A.20 or an ordinance in conformity with 
 29.3   it; 
 29.4      (2) the person has been involved in a motor vehicle 
 29.5   accident or collision resulting in property damage, personal 
 29.6   injury, or death; 
 29.7      (3) the person has refused to take the screening test 
 29.8   provided for by section 169A.41 (preliminary screening test); or 
 29.9      (4) the screening test was administered and indicated an 
 29.10  alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more. 
 29.11     (c) The test may also be required of a person when an 
 29.12  officer has probable cause to believe the person was driving, 
 29.13  operating, or in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle 
 29.14  with the presence of any alcohol. <i>[169.123, subd. 2, par. (a)]</i> 
 29.15     Subd. 2.  [IMPLIED CONSENT ADVISORY.] At the time a test is 
 29.16  requested, the person must be informed: 
 29.17     (1) that Minnesota law requires the person to take a test: 
 29.18     (i) to determine if the person is under the influence of 
 29.19  alcohol, controlled substances, or hazardous substances; 
 29.20     (ii) to determine the presence of a controlled substance 
 29.21  listed in schedule I or II, other than marijuana or 
 29.22  tetrahydrocannabinols; and 
 29.23     (iii) if the motor vehicle was a commercial motor vehicle, 
 29.24  to determine the presence of alcohol; 
 29.25     (2) that refusal to take a test is a crime; 
 29.26     (3) if the peace officer has probable cause to believe the 
 29.27  person has violated the criminal vehicular homicide and injury 
 29.28  laws, that a test will be taken with or without the person's 
 29.29  consent; and 
 29.30     (4) that the person has the right to consult with an 
 29.31  attorney, but that this right is limited to the extent that it 
 29.32  cannot unreasonably delay administration of the test. <i>[169.123,</i> 
 29.33  <i>subd. 2, par. (b)]</i> 
 29.34     Subd. 3.  [TYPE OF TEST.] The peace officer who requires a 
 29.35  test pursuant to this section may direct whether the test is of 
 29.36  blood, breath, or urine.  Action may be taken against a person 
 30.1   who refuses to take a blood test only if an alternative test was 
 30.2   offered and action may be taken against a person who refuses to 
 30.3   take a urine test only if an alternative test was 
 30.4   offered. <i>[169.123, subd. 2, par. (c)]</i> 
 30.5      Subd. 4.  [REQUIREMENT OF URINE OR BLOOD 
 30.6   TEST.] Notwithstanding subdivision 3, a blood or urine test may 
 30.7   be required even after a breath test has been administered if 
 30.8   there is probable cause to believe that: 
 30.9      (1) there is impairment by a controlled substance or 
 30.10  hazardous substance that is not subject to testing by a breath 
 30.11  test; or 
 30.12     (2) a controlled substance listed in schedule I or II, 
 30.13  other than marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols, is present in the 
 30.14  person's body.  
 30.15     Action may be taken against a person who refuses to take a 
 30.16  blood test under this subdivision only if a urine test was 
 30.17  offered and action may be taken against a person who refuses to 
 30.18  take a urine test only if a blood test was offered. <i>[169.123,</i> 
 30.19  <i>subd. 2a]</i> 
 30.20     Subd. 5.  [BREATH TEST USING INFRARED BREATH-TESTING 
 30.21  INSTRUMENT.] (a) In the case of a breath test administered using 
 30.22  an infrared breath-testing instrument, the test must consist of 
 30.23  analyses in the following sequence:  one adequate breath sample 
 30.24  analysis, one calibration standard analysis, and a second, 
 30.25  adequate breath sample analysis. 
 30.26     (b) In the case of a test administered using an infrared 
 30.27  breath-testing instrument, a sample is adequate if the 
 30.28  instrument analyzes the sample and does not indicate the sample 
 30.29  is deficient. 
 30.30     (c) For purposes of section 169A.52 (revocation of license 
 30.31  for test failure or refusal), when a test is administered using 
 30.32  an infrared breath-testing instrument, failure of a person to 
 30.33  provide two separate, adequate breath samples in the proper 
 30.34  sequence constitutes a refusal. <i>[169.123, subd. 2b]</i> 
 30.35     Subd. 6.  [CONSENT OF PERSON INCAPABLE OF REFUSAL NOT 
 30.36  WITHDRAWN.] A person who is unconscious or who is otherwise in a 
 31.1   condition rendering the person incapable of refusal is deemed 
 31.2   not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subdivision 1 and 
 31.3   the test may be given. <i>[169.123, subd. 2c]</i> 
 31.4      Subd. 7.  [REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDUCTING TESTS; 
 31.5   LIABILITY.] (a) Only a physician, medical technician, 
 31.6   physician's trained mobile intensive care paramedic, registered 
 31.7   nurse, medical technologist, or laboratory assistant acting at 
 31.8   the request of a peace officer may withdraw blood for the 
 31.9   purpose of determining the presence of alcohol, controlled 
 31.10  substances, or hazardous substances.  This limitation does not 
 31.11  apply to the taking of a breath or urine sample. 
 31.12     (b) The person tested has the right to have someone of the 
 31.13  person's own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in 
 31.14  addition to any administered at the direction of a peace 
 31.15  officer; provided, that the additional test sample on behalf of 
 31.16  the person is obtained at the place where the person is in 
 31.17  custody, after the test administered at the direction of a peace 
 31.18  officer, and at no expense to the state.  The failure or 
 31.19  inability to obtain an additional test or tests by a person does 
 31.20  not preclude the admission in evidence of the test taken at the 
 31.21  direction of a peace officer unless the additional test was 
 31.22  prevented or denied by the peace officer. 
 31.23     (c) The physician, medical technician, physician's trained 
 31.24  mobile intensive care paramedic, medical technologist, 
 31.25  laboratory assistant, or registered nurse drawing blood at the 
 31.26  request of a peace officer for the purpose of determining the 
 31.27  concentration of alcohol, controlled substances, or hazardous 
 31.28  substances is in no manner liable in any civil or criminal 
 31.29  action except for negligence in drawing the blood.  The person 
 31.30  administering a breath test must be fully trained in the 
 31.31  administration of breath tests pursuant to training given by the 
 31.32  commissioner of public safety. <i>[169.123, subd. 3]</i> 
 31.33     Sec. 32.  [169A.52] [TEST REFUSAL OR FAILURE; LICENSE 
 31.34  REVOCATION.] 
 31.35     Subdivision 1.  [TEST REFUSAL.] If a person refuses to 
 31.36  permit a test, then a test must not be given, but the peace 
 32.1   officer shall report the refusal to the commissioner and the 
 32.2   authority having responsibility for prosecution of impaired 
 32.3   driving offenses for the jurisdiction in which the acts 
 32.4   occurred.  However, if a peace officer has probable cause to 
 32.5   believe that the person has violated section 609.21 (criminal 
 32.6   vehicular homicide and injury), a test may be required and 
 32.7   obtained despite the person's refusal.  A refusal to submit to 
 32.8   an alcohol concentration test does not constitute a violation of 
 32.9   section 609.50 (obstructing legal process), unless the refusal 
 32.10  was accompanied by force or violence or the threat of force or 
 32.11  violence. <i>[169.123, subd. 4, par. (a)]</i> 
 32.12     Subd. 2.  [TEST FAILURE.] If a person submits to a test, 
 32.13  the results of that test must be reported to the commissioner 
 32.14  and to the authority having responsibility for prosecution of 
 32.15  impaired driving offenses for the jurisdiction in which the acts 
 32.16  occurred, if the test results indicate: 
 32.17     (1) an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more; 
 32.18     (2) an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more, if the person 
 32.19  was driving, operating, or in physical control of a commercial 
 32.20  motor vehicle at the time of the violation; or 
 32.21     (3) the presence of a controlled substance listed in 
 32.22  schedule I or II, other than marijuana or 
 32.23  tetrahydrocannabinols. <i>[169.123, subd. 4, par. (b)]</i> 
 32.24     Subd. 3.  [TEST REFUSAL; LICENSE REVOCATION.] (a) Upon 
 32.25  certification by the peace officer that there existed probable 
 32.26  cause to believe the person had been driving, operating, or in 
 32.27  physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of section 
 32.28  169A.20 (driving while impaired), and that the person refused to 
 32.29  submit to a test, the commissioner shall revoke the person's 
 32.30  license or permit to drive, or nonresident operating privilege, 
 32.31  for a period of one year even if a test was obtained pursuant to 
 32.32  this section after the person refused to submit to testing. 
 32.33     (b) Upon certification by the peace officer that there 
 32.34  existed probable cause to believe the person had been driving, 
 32.35  operating, or in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle 
 32.36  with the presence of any alcohol in violation of section 169A.20 
 33.1   (driving while impaired), and that the person refused to submit 
 33.2   to a test, the commissioner shall disqualify the person from 
 33.3   operating a commercial motor vehicle for a period of one year 
 33.4   under section 171.165 (commercial driver's license 
 33.5   disqualification) and shall revoke the person's license or 
 33.6   permit to drive or nonresident operating privilege for a period 
 33.7   of one year. <i>[169.123, subd. 4, par. (c) and (d)]</i> 
 33.8      Subd. 4.  [TEST FAILURE; LICENSE REVOCATION.] (a) Upon 
 33.9   certification by the peace officer that there existed probable 
 33.10  cause to believe the person had been driving, operating, or in 
 33.11  physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of section 
 33.12  169A.20 (driving while impaired) and that the person submitted 
 33.13  to a test and the test results indicate an alcohol concentration 
 33.14  of 0.10 or more or the presence of a controlled substance listed 
 33.15  in schedule I or II, other than marijuana or 
 33.16  tetrahydrocannabinols, then the commissioner shall revoke the 
 33.17  person's license or permit to drive, or nonresident operating 
 33.18  privilege: 
 33.19     (1) for a period of 90 days; 
 33.20     (2) if the person is under the age of 21 years, for a 
 33.21  period of six months; 
 33.22     (3) for a person with a qualified prior impaired driving 
 33.23  incident within the past ten years, for a period of 180 days; or 
 33.24     (4) if the test results indicate an alcohol concentration 
 33.25  of 0.20 or more, for twice the applicable period in clauses (1) 
 33.26  to (3). 
 33.27     (b) On certification by the peace officer that there 
 33.28  existed probable cause to believe the person had been driving, 
 33.29  operating, or in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle 
 33.30  with any presence of alcohol and that the person submitted to a 
 33.31  test and the test results indicated an alcohol concentration of 
 33.32  0.04 or more, the commissioner shall disqualify the person from 
 33.33  operating a commercial motor vehicle under section 171.165 
 33.34  (commercial driver's license disqualification). <i>[169.123, subd.</i> 
 33.35  <i>4, par. (e) and (f)]</i> 
 33.36     Subd. 5.  [UNLICENSED DRIVERS; LICENSE ISSUANCE DENIAL.] If 
 34.1   the person is a resident without a license or permit to operate 
 34.2   a motor vehicle in this state, the commissioner shall deny to 
 34.3   the person the issuance of a license or permit after the date of 
 34.4   the alleged violation for the same period as provided in this 
 34.5   section for revocation, subject to review as provided in section 
 34.6   169A.53 (administrative and judicial review of license 
 34.7   revocation). <i>[169.123, subd. 4, par. (g)]</i> 
 34.8      Subd. 6.  [NOTICE OF REVOCATION, DISQUALIFICATION, OR 
 34.9   DETERMINATION TO DENY; REQUEST FOR HEARING.] A revocation under 
 34.10  this section or a disqualification under section 171.165 
 34.11  (commercial driver's license disqualification) becomes effective 
 34.12  at the time the commissioner or a peace officer acting on behalf 
 34.13  of the commissioner notifies the person of the intention to 
 34.14  revoke, disqualify, or both, and of revocation or 
 34.15  disqualification.  The notice must advise the person of the 
 34.16  right to obtain administrative and judicial review as provided 
 34.17  in section 169A.53 (administrative and judicial review of 
 34.18  license revocation).  If mailed, the notice and order of 
 34.19  revocation or disqualification is deemed received three days 
 34.20  after mailing to the last known address of the person.  
 34.21  <i>[169.123, subd. 5]</i> 
 34.22     Subd. 7.  [TEST REFUSAL; DRIVING PRIVILEGE LOST.] (a) On 
 34.23  behalf of the commissioner, a peace officer requiring a test or 
 34.24  directing the administration of a chemical test shall serve 
 34.25  immediate notice of intention to revoke and of revocation on a 
 34.26  person who refuses to permit a test or on a person who submits 
 34.27  to a test the results of which indicate an alcohol concentration 
 34.28  of 0.10 or more. 
 34.29     (b) On behalf of the commissioner, a peace officer 
 34.30  requiring a test or directing the administration of a chemical 
 34.31  test of a person driving, operating, or in physical control of a 
 34.32  commercial motor vehicle shall serve immediate notice of 
 34.33  intention to disqualify and of disqualification on a person who 
 34.34  refuses to permit a test, or on a person who submits to a test 
 34.35  the results of which indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.04 
 34.36  or more. 
 35.1      (c) The officer shall either: 
 35.2      (1) take the driver's license or permit, if any, send it to 
 35.3   the commissioner along with the certificate required by 
 35.4   subdivision 3 or 4, and issue a temporary license effective only 
 35.5   for seven days; or 
 35.6      (2) invalidate the driver's license or permit in such a way 
 35.7   that no identifying information is destroyed. <i>[169.123, subd.</i> 
 35.8   <i>5a]</i> 
 35.9      Subd. 8.  [NOTICE OF ACTION TO OTHER STATES.] When a 
 35.10  nonresident's privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state

 35.13  charge of traffic control or public safety of the state of the 
 35.14  person's residence and of any state in which the person has a

 35.16     Sec. 33.  [169A.53] [ADMINISTRATIVE AND JUDICIAL REVIEW OF 
 35.17  LICENSE REVOCATION.] 
 35.18     Subdivision 1.  [ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.] (a) At any time 
 35.19  during a period of revocation imposed under section 169A.52 
 35.20  (revocation of license for test failure or refusal) or a period 
 35.21  of disqualification imposed under section 171.165 (commercial 
 35.22  driver's license disqualification), a person may request in 
 35.23  writing a review of the order of revocation or disqualification 
 35.24  by the commissioner, unless the person is entitled to review 
 35.25  under section 171.166 (review of disqualification).  Upon 
 35.26  receiving a request the commissioner or the commissioner's 
 35.27  designee shall review the order, the evidence upon which the 
 35.28  order was based, and any other material information brought to 
 35.29  the attention of the commissioner, and determine whether 
 35.30  sufficient cause exists to sustain the order.  Within 15 days of 
 35.31  receiving the request the commissioner shall report in writing 
 35.32  the results of the review.  The review provided in this 
 35.33  subdivision is not subject to the contested case provisions of 
 35.34  the Administrative Procedure Act in sections 14.001 to 14.69. 
 35.35     (b) The availability of administrative review for an order 
 35.36  of revocation or disqualification has no effect upon the 
 36.1   availability of judicial review under this section. 
 36.2      (c) Review under this subdivision must take place, if 
 36.3   possible, at the same time as any administrative review of the 
 36.4   person's impoundment order under section 169A.60, subdivision 9. 
 36.5   <i>[169.123, subd. 5b]</i> 
 36.6      Subd. 2.  [PETITION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW.] (a) Within 30 
 36.7   days following receipt of a notice and order of revocation or 
 36.8   disqualification pursuant to section 169A.52 (revocation of 
 36.9   license for test failure or refusal), a person may petition the 
 36.10  court for review.  The petition must be filed with the district 
 36.11  court administrator in the county where the alleged offense 
 36.12  occurred, together with proof of service of a copy on the 
 36.13  commissioner, and accompanied by the standard filing fee for 
 36.14  civil actions.  Responsive pleading is not required of the 
 36.15  commissioner, and court fees must not be charged for the 
 36.16  appearance of the commissioner in the matter. 
 36.17     (b) The petition must: 
 36.18     (1) be captioned in the full name of the person making the 
 36.19  petition as petitioner and the commissioner as respondent; 
 36.20     (2) include the petitioner's date of birth, driver's 
 36.21  license number, and date of the offense; and 
 36.22     (3) state with specificity the grounds upon which the 
 36.23  petitioner seeks rescission of the order of revocation, 
 36.24  disqualification, or denial. 
 36.25     (c) The filing of the petition does not stay the 
 36.26  revocation, disqualification, or denial.  The reviewing court 
 36.27  may order a stay of the balance of the revocation or 
 36.28  disqualification if the hearing has not been conducted within 60 
 36.29  days after filing of the petition upon terms the court deems 
 36.30  proper. 
 36.31     (d) Judicial reviews must be conducted according to the 
 36.32  Rules of Civil Procedure, except that prehearing discovery is 
 36.33  mandatory and is limited to: 
 36.34     (1) the notice of revocation; 
 36.35     (2) the test record or, in the case of blood or urine 
 36.36  tests, the certificate of analysis; 
 37.1      (3) the peace officer's certificate and any accompanying 
 37.2   documentation submitted by the arresting officer to the 
 37.3   commissioner; and 
 37.4      (4) disclosure of potential witnesses, including experts, 
 37.5   and the basis of their testimony.  
 37.6      Other types of discovery are available only upon order of 
 37.7   the court. <i>[169.123, subd. 5c]</i> 
 37.8      Subd. 3.  [HEARING.] (a) A judicial review hearing under 
 37.9   this section must be before a district judge in any county in 
 37.10  the judicial district where the alleged offense occurred.  The 
 37.11  hearing is to the court and may be conducted at the same time 
 37.12  and in the same manner as hearings upon pretrial motions in the 
 37.13  criminal prosecution under section 169A.20 (driving while 
 37.14  impaired), if any.  The hearing must be recorded.  The 
 37.15  commissioner shall appear and be represented by the attorney 
 37.16  general or through the prosecuting authority for the 
 37.17  jurisdiction involved.  The hearing must be held at the earliest 
 37.18  practicable date, and in any event no later than 60 days 
 37.19  following the filing of the petition for review.  The judicial 
 37.20  district administrator shall establish procedures to ensure 
 37.21  efficient compliance with this subdivision.  To accomplish this, 
 37.22  the administrator may, whenever possible, consolidate and 
 37.23  transfer review hearings among the locations within the judicial 
 37.24  district where terms of district court are held. 
 37.25     (b) The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues in 
 37.26  clauses (1) to (10): 
 37.27     (1) Did the peace officer have probable cause to believe 
 37.28  the person was driving, operating, or in physical control of a 
 37.29  motor vehicle or commercial motor vehicle in violation of 
 37.30  section 169A.20 (driving while impaired)? 
 37.31     (2) Was the person lawfully placed under arrest for 
 37.32  violation of section 169A.20? 
 37.33     (3) Was the person involved in a motor vehicle accident or 
 37.34  collision resulting in property damage, personal injury, or 
 37.35  death? 
 37.36     (4) Did the person refuse to take a screening test provided 
 38.1   for by section 169A.41 (preliminary screening test)? 
 38.2      (5) If the screening test was administered, did the test 
 38.3   indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more? 
 38.4      (6) At the time of the request for the test, did the peace 
 38.5   officer inform the person of the person's rights and the 
 38.6   consequences of taking or refusing the test as required by 
 38.7   section 169A.51, subdivision 2? 
 38.8      (7) Did the person refuse to permit the test? 
 38.9      (8) If a test was taken by a person driving, operating, or 
 38.10  in physical control of a motor vehicle, did the test results 
 38.11  indicate at the time of testing: 
 38.12     (i) an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more; or 
 38.13     (ii) the presence of a controlled substance listed in 
 38.14  schedule I or II, other than marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols? 
 38.15     (9) If a test was taken by a person driving, operating, or 
 38.16  in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle, did the test 
 38.17  results indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more at the 
 38.18  time of testing? 
 38.19     (10) Was the testing method used valid and reliable and 
 38.20  were the test results accurately evaluated? 
 38.21     (c) It is an affirmative defense for the petitioner to 
 38.22  prove that, at the time of the refusal, the petitioner's refusal 
 38.23  to permit the test was based upon reasonable grounds. 
 38.24     (d) Certified or otherwise authenticated copies of 
 38.25  laboratory or medical personnel reports, records, documents, 
 38.26  licenses, and certificates are admissible as substantive 
 38.27  evidence. 
 38.28     (e) The court shall order that the revocation or 
 38.29  disqualification be either rescinded or sustained and forward 
 38.30  the order to the commissioner.  The court shall file its order 
 38.31  within 14 days following the hearing.  If the revocation or 
 38.32  disqualification is sustained, the court shall also forward the 
 38.33  person's driver's license or permit to the commissioner for 
 38.34  further action by the commissioner if the license or permit is 
 38.35  not already in the commissioner's possession. 
 38.36     (f) Any party aggrieved by the decision of the reviewing 
 39.1   court may appeal the decision as provided in the rules of 
 39.2   appellate procedure. <i>[169.123, subds. 6 and 7]</i>

 45.9   not the violator must include the procedure to obtain new 
 45.10  registration plates under subdivision 8.  If mailed, the notice 
 45.11  and order of impoundment is deemed received three days after 
 45.12  mailing to the last known address of the violator or the 
 45.13  registered owner. 
 45.14     Subd. 4.  [PEACE OFFICER AS AGENT FOR NOTICE OF 
 45.15  IMPOUNDMENT.] On behalf of the commissioner, a peace officer 
 45.16  issuing a notice of intent to revoke and of revocation for a

 45.20  charging a person with a plate impoundment violation described 
 45.21  in subdivision 1, paragraph (c), clause (5), shall also serve a

 45.30  plates impounded and seized under this section have been 
 45.31  destroyed. 
 45.32     Subd. 5.  [TEMPORARY PERMIT.] If the motor vehicle is 
 45.33  registered to the violator, the officer shall issue a temporary 
 45.34  vehicle permit that is valid for seven days when the officer 
 45.35  issues the notices under subdivision 4.  If the motor vehicle is 
 45.36  registered in the name of another, the officer shall issue a 
 46.1   temporary vehicle permit that is valid for 45 days when the 
 46.2   notices are issued under subdivision 3.  The permit must be in a 
 46.3   form determined by the registrar and whenever practicable must 
 46.4   be posted on the left side of the inside rear window of the 
 46.5   vehicle.  A permit is valid only for the vehicle for which it is 
 46.6   issued. 
 46.7      Subd. 6.  [SURRENDER OF PLATES.] Within seven days after 
 46.8   issuance of the impoundment notice, a person who receives a 
 46.9   notice of impoundment and impoundment order shall surrender all 
 46.10  registration plates subject to the impoundment order that were 
 46.11  not seized by a peace officer under subdivision 4.  Registration 
 46.12  plates required to be surrendered under this subdivision must be 
 46.13  surrendered to a Minnesota police department, sheriff, or the 
 46.14  state patrol, along with a copy of the impoundment order.  A law 
 46.15  enforcement agency receiving registration plates under this 
 46.16  subdivision shall destroy the plates and notify the commissioner 
 46.17  that they have been destroyed.  The notification to the 
 46.18  commissioner shall also include a copy of the impoundment order.

 46.23  the vehicle has been sold or destroyed, and supplying the date, 
 46.24  name, location, and address of the person or entity that 
 46.25  purchased or destroyed the vehicle.  The commissioner shall 
 46.26  rescind the impoundment order if the violator shows that the 
 46.27  impoundment order was not properly issued. 
 46.28     Subd. 8.  [REISSUANCE OF REGISTRATION PLATES.] (a) The 
 46.29  commissioner shall rescind the impoundment order of a person 
 46.30  subject to an order under this section, other than the violator, 
 46.31  if: 
 46.32     (1) the violator had a valid driver's license on the date 
 46.33  of the plate impoundment violation and the person files with the 
 46.34  commissioner an acceptable sworn statement containing the 
 46.35  following information: 
 46.36     (i) that the person is the registered owner of the vehicle 
 47.1   from which the plates have been impounded under this section; 
 47.2      (ii) that the person is the current owner and possessor of 
 47.3   the vehicle used in the violation; 
 47.4      (iii) the date on which the violator obtained the vehicle 
 47.5   from the registered owner; 
 47.6      (iv) the residence addresses of the registered owner and 
 47.7   the violator on the date the violator obtained the vehicle from 
 47.8   the registered owner; 
 47.9      (v) that the person was not a passenger in the vehicle at 
 47.10  the time of the plate impoundment violation; and 
 47.11     (vi) that the person knows that the violator may not drive, 
 47.12  operate, or be in physical control of a vehicle without a valid 
 47.13  driver's license; or 
 47.14     (2) the violator did not have a valid driver's license on 
 47.15  the date of the plate impoundment violation and the person made 
 47.16  a report to law enforcement before the violation stating that 
 47.17  the vehicle had been taken from the person's possession or was 
 47.18  being used without permission. 
 47.19     (b) A person who has failed to make a report as provided in 
 47.20  paragraph (a), clause (2), may be issued special registration 
 47.21  plates under subdivision 13 for a period of one year from the 
 47.22  effective date of the impoundment order.  At the next 
 47.23  registration renewal following this period, the person may apply 
 47.24  for regular registration plates. 
 47.25     (c) If the order is rescinded, the owner shall receive new 
 47.26  registration plates at no cost, if the plates were seized and 
 47.27  destroyed. 
 47.28     Subd. 9.  [ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.] (a) At any time during 
 47.29  the effective period of an impoundment order, a person may 
 47.30  request in writing a review of the impoundment order by the 
 47.31  commissioner.  On receiving a request, the commissioner or the 
 47.32  commissioner's designee shall review the order, the evidence 
 47.33  upon which the order was based, and any other material 
 47.34  information brought to the attention of the commissioner, and 
 47.35  determine whether sufficient cause exists to sustain the order.  
 47.36  The commissioner shall report in writing the results of the 
 48.1   review within 15 days of receiving the request.  The review 
 48.2   provided in this subdivision is not subject to the contested 
 48.3   case provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act in sections 
 48.4   14.001 to 14.69.  As a result of this review, the commissioner 
 48.5   may authorize the issuance at no cost of new registration plates 
 48.6   to the registered owner of the vehicle if the registered owner's 
 48.7   license or driving privileges were not revoked as a result of 
 48.8   the plate impoundment violation. 
 48.9      (b) Review under this subdivision must take place, if 
 48.10  possible, at the same time as any administrative review of the 
 48.11  person's license revocation under section 169A.53 
 48.12  (administrative and judicial review of license revocation). 
 48.13     Subd. 10.  [PETITION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW.] (a) Within 30 
 48.14  days following receipt of a notice and order of impoundment 
 48.15  under this section, a person may petition the court for review.  
 48.16  The petition must include the petitioner's date of birth, 
 48.17  driver's license number, and date of the plate impoundment 
 48.18  violation.  The petition must state with specificity the grounds 
 48.19  upon which the petitioner seeks rescission of the order for 
 48.20  impoundment.  The petition may be combined with any petition 
 48.21  filed under section 169A.53 (administrative and judicial review 
 48.22  of license revocation). 
 48.23     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the 
 48.24  judicial review and hearing are governed by section 169A.53 and 
 48.25  must take place at the same time as any judicial review of the 
 48.26  person's license revocation under section 169A.53.  The filing 
 48.27  of the petition does not stay the impoundment order.  The 
 48.28  reviewing court may order a stay of the balance of the 
 48.29  impoundment period if the hearing has not been conducted within 
 48.30  60 days after filing of the petition upon terms the court deems 
 48.31  proper.  The court shall order either that the impoundment be 
 48.32  rescinded or sustained, and forward the order to the 
 48.33  commissioner.  The court shall file its order within 14 days 
 48.34  following the hearing. 
 48.35     (c) In addition to the issues described in section 169A.53, 
 48.36  subdivision 3 (judicial review of license revocation), the scope 
 49.1   of a hearing under this subdivision is limited to: 
 49.2      (1) whether the violator owns, is the registered owner of, 
 49.3   possesses, or has access to the vehicle used in the plate 
 49.4   impoundment violation; 
 49.5      (2) whether a member of the violator's household has a 
 49.6   valid driver's license, the violator or registered owner has a 
 49.7   limited license issued under section 171.30, the registered 
 49.8   owner is not the violator, and the registered owner has a valid 
 49.9   or limited driver's license, or a member of the registered 
 49.10  owner's household has a valid driver's license; and 
 49.11     (3) if the impoundment is based on a plate impoundment 
 49.12  violation described in subdivision 1, paragraph (c), clause (3) 
 49.13  or (4), whether the peace officer had probable cause to believe 
 49.14  the violator committed the plate impoundment violation and 
 49.15  whether the evidence demonstrates that the plate impoundment 
 49.16  violation occurred. 
 49.17     (d) In a hearing under this subdivision, the following 
 49.18  records are admissible in evidence: 
 49.19     (1) certified copies of the violator's driving record; and 
 49.20     (2) certified copies of vehicle registration records 
 49.21  bearing the violator's name. 
 49.22     Subd. 11.  [RESCISSION OF REVOCATION; DISMISSAL OR 
 49.23  ACQUITTAL; NEW PLATES.] If: 
 49.24     (1) the driver's license revocation that is the basis for 
 49.25  an impoundment order is rescinded; 
 49.26     (2) the charges for the plate impoundment violation have 
 49.27  been dismissed with prejudice; or 
 49.28     (3) the violator has been acquitted of the plate 
 49.29  impoundment violation; 
 49.30  then the registrar of motor vehicles shall issue new 
 49.31  registration plates for the vehicle at no cost, when the 
 49.32  registrar receives an application that includes a copy of the 
 49.33  order rescinding the driver's license revocation, the order 
 49.34  dismissing the charges, or the judgment of acquittal. 
 49.35     Subd. 12.  [CHARGE FOR REINSTATEMENT OF PLATES IN CERTAIN 
 49.36  SITUATIONS.] When the registrar of motor vehicles reinstates a 
 50.1   person's registration plates after impoundment for reasons other 
 50.2   than those described in subdivision 11, the registrar shall 
 50.3   charge the person $50 for each vehicle for which the 
 50.4   registration plates are being reinstated. 
 50.5      Subd. 13.  [SPECIAL REGISTRATION PLATES.] A violator or 
 50.6   registered owner may apply to the commissioner for new 
 50.7   registration plates, which must bear a special series of numbers 
 50.8   or letters so as to be readily identified by traffic law 
 50.9   enforcement officers.  The commissioner may authorize the 
 50.10  issuance of special plates if: 
 50.11     (1) the violator has a qualified licensed driver whom the 
 50.12  violator must identify; 
 50.13     (2) the violator or registered owner has a limited license 
 50.14  issued under section 171.30; 
 50.15     (3) the registered owner is not the violator and the 
 50.16  registered owner has a valid or limited driver's license; or 
 50.17     (4) a member of the registered owner's household has a 
 50.18  valid driver's license. 
 50.19  The commissioner may issue the special plates on payment of a 
 50.20  $50 fee for each vehicle for which special plates are requested. 
 50.21     Subd. 14.  [SALE OF VEHICLE SUBJECT TO IMPOUNDMENT 
 50.22  ORDER.] A registered owner may not sell a motor vehicle during 
 50.23  the time its registration plates have been ordered impounded or 
 50.24  during the time its registration plates bear a special series 
 50.25  number, unless: 
 50.26     (1) the sale is for a valid consideration; 
 50.27     (2) the transferee does not reside in the same household as 
 50.28  the registered owner; and 
 50.29     (3) all elements of section 168A.10 (transfer of interest 
 50.30  by owner) are satisfied. 
 50.31     The registrar may then transfer the title to the new owner 
 50.32  upon proper application and issue new registration plates. 
 50.33     Subd. 15.  [ACQUIRING ANOTHER VEHICLE.] If the violator 
 50.34  applies to the commissioner for registration plates for any 
 50.35  vehicle during the effective period of the plate impoundment, 
 50.36  the commissioner shall not issue registration plates unless the 
 51.1   violator qualifies for special registration plates under 
 51.2   subdivision 13 and unless the plates issued are special plates 
 51.3   as described in subdivision 13. 
 51.4      Subd. 16.  [FEES CREDITED TO HIGHWAY USER FUND.] Fees 
 51.5   collected from the sale or reinstatement of license plates under 
 51.6   this section must be paid into the state treasury and credited 
 51.7   one-half to the highway user tax distribution fund and one-half 
 51.8   to the general fund. 
 51.9      Subd. 17.  [PLATE IMPOUNDMENT; PENALTY.] Criminal penalties 
 51.10  for violating this section are governed by section 169A.37.  
 51.11     Subd. 18.  [STOP OF VEHICLES BEARING SPECIAL PLATES.] The 
 51.12  authority of a peace officer to stop a vehicle bearing special 
 51.13  plates is governed by section 168.0422. <i>[168.042]</i> 
 51.14     Sec. 37.  [169A.63] [VEHICLE FORFEITURE FOR DESIGNATED 
 51.15  OFFENSE OR LICENSE REVOCATION.]

 51.22     (c) "Designated license revocation" includes a license 
 51.23  revocation under section 169A.52 (license revocation for test 
 51.24  failure or refusal) or a license disqualification under section

 51.30  under the circumstances described in section 169A.25 
 51.31  (first-degree driving while impaired); or 
 51.32     (2) a violation of section 169A.20 or an ordinance in 
 51.33  conformity with it: 
 51.34     (i) by a person whose driver's license or driving 
 51.35  privileges have been canceled as inimical to public safety under 
 51.36  section 171.04, subdivision 1, clause (9); or 
 52.1      (ii) by a person who is subject to a restriction on the 
 52.2   person's driver's license under section 171.09 (commissioner's 
 52.3   license restrictions), which provides that the person may not 
 52.4   use or consume any amount of alcohol or a controlled substance. 
 52.5      (e) "Motor vehicle" and "vehicle" do not include a vehicle 
 52.6   which is stolen or taken in violation of the law.

 52.11     (g) "Prosecuting authority" means the attorney in the 
 52.12  jurisdiction in which the designated offense occurred who is 
 52.13  responsible for prosecuting violations of a designated offense. 
 52.14     Subd. 2.  [SEIZURE.] (a) A motor vehicle subject to 
 52.15  forfeiture under this section may be seized by the appropriate 
 52.16  agency upon process issued by any court having jurisdiction over 
 52.17  the vehicle. 
 52.18     (b) Property may be seized without process if: 
 52.19     (1) the seizure is incident to a lawful arrest or a lawful 
 52.20  search; 
 52.21     (2) the vehicle subject to seizure has been the subject of 
 52.22  a prior judgment in favor of the state in a criminal injunction 
 52.23  or forfeiture proceeding under this section; or 
 52.24     (3) the appropriate agency has probable cause to believe 
 52.25  that the delay occasioned by the necessity to obtain process 
 52.26  would result in the removal or destruction of the vehicle.  If 
 52.27  property is seized without process under this clause, the 
 52.28  prosecuting authority must institute a forfeiture action under 
 52.29  this section as soon as is reasonably possible. 
 52.30     Subd. 3.  [RIGHT TO POSSESSION VESTS IMMEDIATELY; CUSTODY 
 52.31  OF SEIZED VEHICLE.] All right, title, and interest in a vehicle 
 52.32  subject to forfeiture under this section vests in the 
 52.33  appropriate agency upon commission of the conduct resulting in 
 52.34  the designated offense or designated license revocation giving 
 52.35  rise to the forfeiture.  Any vehicle seized under this section 
 52.36  is not subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the custody 
 53.1   of the appropriate agency subject to the orders and decrees of 
 53.2   the court having jurisdiction over the forfeiture proceedings.  
 53.3   When a vehicle is seized under this section, the appropriate 
 53.4   agency may: 
 53.5      (1) place the vehicle under seal; 
 53.6      (2) remove the vehicle to a place designated by it; 
 53.7      (3) place a disabling device on the vehicle; and 
 53.8      (4) take other steps reasonable and necessary to secure the 
 53.9   vehicle and prevent waste. 
 53.10     Subd. 4.  [BOND BY OWNER FOR POSSESSION.] If the owner of a 
 53.11  vehicle that has been seized under this section seeks possession 
 53.12  of the vehicle before the forfeiture action is determined, the 
 53.13  owner may, subject to the approval of the appropriate agency, 
 53.14  give security or post bond payable to the appropriate agency in 
 53.15  an amount equal to the retail value of the seized vehicle.  On 
 53.16  posting the security or bond, the seized vehicle may be returned 
 53.17  to the owner only if a disabling device is attached to the 
 53.18  vehicle.  The forfeiture action must proceed against the 
 53.19  security as if it were the seized vehicle. 
 53.20     Subd. 5.  [EVIDENCE.] Certified copies of court records and 
 53.21  motor vehicle and driver's license records concerning qualified 
 53.22  prior impaired driving incidents are admissible as substantive 
 53.23  evidence where necessary to prove the commission of a designated 
 53.24  offense or the occurrence of a designated license revocation. 
 53.25     Subd. 6.  [MOTOR VEHICLE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE.] A motor 
 53.26  vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this section if it was 
 53.27  used in the commission of a designated offense or was used in 
 53.28  conduct resulting in a designated license revocation. 
 53.29     Subd. 7.  [LIMITATIONS ON FORFEITURE OF MOTOR VEHICLE.] (a) 
 53.30  A vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this section only if: 
 53.31     (1) the driver is convicted of the designated offense upon 
 53.32  which the forfeiture is based; 
 53.33     (2) the driver fails to appear with respect to the 
 53.34  designated offense charge in violation of section 609.49 
 53.35  (release; failure to appear); or 
 53.36     (3) the driver's conduct results in a designated license 
 54.1   revocation and the driver either fails to seek administrative or 
 54.2   judicial review of the revocation in a timely manner as required 
 54.3   by section 169A.53 (administrative and judicial review of 
 54.4   license revocation), or the license revocation is sustained 
 54.5   under section 169A.53. 
 54.6      (b) A vehicle encumbered by a bona fide security interest, 
 54.7   or subject to a lease that has a term of 180 days or more, is 
 54.8   subject to the interest of the secured party or lessor unless 
 54.9   the party or lessor had knowledge of or consented to the act 
 54.10  upon which the forfeiture is based.  However, when the proceeds 
 54.11  of the sale of a seized vehicle do not equal or exceed the 
 54.12  outstanding loan balance, the appropriate agency shall remit all 
 54.13  proceeds of the sale to the secured party.  If the sale of the 
 54.14  vehicle is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner 
 54.15  consistent with the provisions of section 336.9-504, clause (3), 
 54.16  the agency is not liable to the secured party for any amount 
 54.17  owed on the loan in excess of the sale proceeds if the secured 
 54.18  party received notification of the time and place of the sale at 
 54.19  least three days prior to the sale. 
 54.20     (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (d), the secured 
 54.21  party's, lessor's, or owner's interest in a vehicle is not 
 54.22  subject to forfeiture based solely on the secured party's, 
 54.23  lessor's, or owner's knowledge of the act or omission upon which 
 54.24  the forfeiture is based if the secured party, lessor, or owner 
 54.25  took reasonable steps to terminate use of the vehicle by the 
 54.26  offender. 
 54.27     (d) A motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this 
 54.28  section only if its owner knew or should have known of the 
 54.29  unlawful use or intended use. 
 54.30     (e) A vehicle subject to a security interest, based upon a 
 54.31  loan or other financing arranged by a financial institution, is 
 54.32  subject to the interest of the financial institution. 
 54.33     Subd. 8.  [ADMINISTRATIVE FORFEITURE PROCEDURE.] (a) A 
 54.34  motor vehicle used to commit a designated offense or used in 
 54.35  conduct resulting in a designated license revocation is subject 
 54.36  to administrative forfeiture under this subdivision. 
 55.1      (b) When a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, the 
 55.2   appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of the 
 55.3   vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the 
 55.4   vehicle.  Additionally, when a motor vehicle is seized under 
 55.5   subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all 
 55.6   persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security 
 55.7   interest in the vehicle must be notified of the seizure and the 
 55.8   intent to forfeit the vehicle.  If the vehicle is required to be 
 55.9   registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known 
 55.10  to have a security interest in the vehicle is required only if 
 55.11  the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest is 
 55.12  listed on the vehicle's title.  Notice mailed by certified mail 
 55.13  to the address shown in department of public safety records is 
 55.14  sufficient notice to the registered owner of the vehicle.  
 55.15  Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for 
 55.16  service of a summons in a civil action. 
 55.17     (c) The notice must be in writing and contain: 
 55.18     (1) a description of the vehicle seized; 
 55.19     (2) the date of seizure; and 
 55.20     (3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the 
 55.21  forfeiture and of the procedure for obtaining that judicial 
 55.22  review, printed in English, Hmong, and Spanish.  Substantially 
 55.23  the following language must appear conspicuously:  "IF YOU DO 
 55.24  NOT DEMAND JUDICIAL REVIEW EXACTLY AS PRESCRIBED IN MINNESOTA 
 55.25  STATUTES, SECTION 169A.63, SUBDIVISION 8, YOU LOSE THE RIGHT TO 
 55.26  A JUDICIAL DETERMINATION OF THIS FORFEITURE AND YOU LOSE ANY 
 55.27  RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PROPERTY.  YOU MAY NOT 
 55.28  HAVE TO PAY THE FILING FEE FOR THE DEMAND IF DETERMINED YOU ARE 
 55.29  UNABLE TO AFFORD THE FEE.  IF THE PROPERTY IS WORTH $7,500 OR 
 55.30  LESS, YOU MAY FILE YOUR CLAIM IN CONCILIATION COURT.  YOU DO NOT 
 55.31  HAVE TO PAY THE CONCILIATION COURT FILING FEE IF THE PROPERTY IS 
 55.32  WORTH LESS THAN $500." 
 55.33     (d) Within 30 days following service of a notice of seizure 
 55.34  and forfeiture under this subdivision, a claimant may file a 
 55.35  demand for a judicial determination of the forfeiture.  The 
 55.36  demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and must be 
 56.1   filed with the court administrator in the county in which the 
 56.2   seizure occurred, together with proof of service of a copy of 
 56.3   the complaint on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction 
 56.4   over the forfeiture, and the standard filing fee for civil 
 56.5   actions unless the petitioner has the right to sue in forma 
 56.6   pauperis under section 563.01.  If the value of the seized 
 56.7   property is $7,500 or less, the claimant may file an action in 
 56.8   conciliation court for recovery of the seized vehicle.  If the 
 56.9   value of the seized property is less than $500, the claimant 
 56.10  does not have to pay the conciliation court filing fee.  No 
 56.11  responsive pleading is required of the prosecuting authority and 
 56.12  no court fees may be charged for the prosecuting authority's 
 56.13  appearance in the matter.  Except as provided in this section, 
 56.14  judicial reviews and hearings are governed by section 169A.53, 
 56.15  subdivisions 2 and 3, and shall take place at the same time as 
 56.16  any judicial review of the person's license revocation under 
 56.17  section 169A.53.  The proceedings may be combined with any 
 56.18  hearing on a petition filed under section 169A.53, subdivision 
 56.19  2, and are governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure. 
 56.20     (e) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the 
 56.21  claimant as plaintiff and the seized vehicle as defendant, and 
 56.22  must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
 56.23  alleges the vehicle was improperly seized and the plaintiff's 
 56.24  interest in the vehicle seized.  Notwithstanding any law to the 
 56.25  contrary, an action for the return of a vehicle seized under 
 56.26  this section may not be maintained by or on behalf of any person 
 56.27  who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture 
 56.28  unless the person has complied with this subdivision. 
 56.29     (f) If the claimant makes a timely demand for a judicial 
 56.30  determination under this subdivision, the appropriate agency 
 56.31  must conduct the forfeiture under subdivision 9. 
 56.32     (g) If a demand for judicial determination of an 
 56.33  administrative forfeiture is filed under this subdivision and 
 56.34  the court orders the return of the seized vehicle, the court 
 56.35  shall order that filing fees be reimbursed to the person who 
 56.36  filed the demand.  In addition, the court may order sanctions 
 57.1   under section 549.211 (sanctions in civil actions). 
 57.2      Subd. 9.  [JUDICIAL FORFEITURE PROCEDURE.] (a) This 
 57.3   subdivision governs judicial determinations of the forfeiture of 
 57.4   a motor vehicle used to commit a designated offense or used in 
 57.5   conduct resulting in a designated license revocation. 
 57.6      (b) A separate complaint must be filed against the vehicle, 
 57.7   describing it, specifying that it was used in the commission of 
 57.8   a designated offense or was used in conduct resulting in a 
 57.9   designated license revocation, and specifying the time and place 
 57.10  of its unlawful use.  If the forfeiture is based on the 
 57.11  commission of a designated offense and the person charged with 
 57.12  the designated offense appears in court as required and is not 
 57.13  convicted of the offense, the court shall dismiss the complaint 
 57.14  against the vehicle and order the property returned to the 
 57.15  person legally entitled to it.  If the forfeiture is based on a 
 57.16  designated license revocation, and the license revocation is 
 57.17  rescinded under section 169A.53 (administrative and judicial 
 57.18  review of license revocation), the court shall dismiss the 
 57.19  complaint against the vehicle and order the property returned to 
 57.20  the person legally entitled to it.  If the lawful ownership of 
 57.21  the vehicle used in the commission of a designated offense or 
 57.22  used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation can 
 57.23  be determined and it is found the owner was not privy to 
 57.24  commission of a designated offense or was not privy to the 
 57.25  conduct resulting in the designated license revocation, the 
 57.26  vehicle must be returned immediately. 
 57.27     Subd. 10.  [DISPOSITION OF FORFEITED VEHICLE.] (a) If the 
 57.28  vehicle is administratively forfeited under subdivision 8, or if 
 57.29  the court finds under subdivision 9 that the vehicle is subject 
 57.30  to forfeiture under subdivisions 6 and 7, the appropriate agency 
 57.31  shall: 
 57.32     (1) sell the vehicle and distribute the proceeds under 
 57.33  paragraph (b); or 
 57.34     (2) keep the vehicle for official use.  If the agency keeps 
 57.35  a forfeited motor vehicle for official use, it shall make 
 57.36  reasonable efforts to ensure that the motor vehicle is available 
 58.1   for use by the agency's officers who participate in the drug 
 58.2   abuse resistance education program. 
 58.3      (b) The proceeds from the sale of forfeited vehicles, after 
 58.4   payment of seizure, storage, forfeiture, and sale expenses, and 
 58.5   satisfaction of valid liens against the property, must be 
 58.6   forwarded to the treasury of the political subdivision that 
 58.7   employs the appropriate agency responsible for the forfeiture 
 58.8   for use in DWI-related enforcement, training, and education.  If 
 58.9   the appropriate agency is an agency of state government, the net 
 58.10  proceeds must be forwarded to the state treasury and credited to 
 58.11  the following funds: 
 58.12     (1) if the forfeited vehicle is a motorboat, the net 
 58.13  proceeds must be credited to the water recreation account in the 
 58.14  natural resources fund; 
 58.15     (2) if the forfeited vehicle is a snowmobile, the net 
 58.16  proceeds must be credited to the snowmobile trails and 
 58.17  enforcement account in the natural resources fund; 
 58.18     (3) if the forfeited vehicle is an all-terrain vehicle, the 
 58.19  net proceeds must be credited to the all-terrain vehicle account 
 58.20  in the natural resources fund; 
 58.21     (4) if the forfeited vehicle is an off-highway motorcycle, 
 58.22  the net proceeds must be credited to the off-highway motorcycle 
 58.23  account in the natural resources fund; 
 58.24     (5) if the forfeited vehicle is an off-road vehicle, the 
 58.25  net proceeds must be credited to the off-road vehicle account in 
 58.26  the natural resources fund; and 
 58.27     (6) if otherwise, the net proceeds must be credited to the 
 58.28  general fund. <i>[169.1217]</i>

 64.6      Sec. 44.  [169A.76] [CIVIL ACTION; PUNITIVE DAMAGES.] 
 64.7      In a civil action involving a motor vehicle accident, it is 
 64.8   sufficient for the trier of fact to consider an award of 
 64.9   punitive damages if there is evidence that the accident was 
 64.10  caused by a driver: 
 64.11     (1) with an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more; 
 64.12     (2) who was under the influence of a controlled substance; 
 64.13     (3) who was under the influence of alcohol and refused to 
 64.14  take a test required under section 169A.51 (chemical tests for 
 64.15  intoxication); or 
 64.16     (4) who was knowingly under the influence of a hazardous 
 64.17  substance that substantially affects the person's nervous 
 64.18  system, brain, or muscles so as to impair the person's ability 
 64.19  to drive or operate a motor vehicle. 
 64.20     A criminal charge or conviction is not a prerequisite to 
 64.21  consideration of punitive damages under this section.  At the 
 64.22  trial in an action where the trier of fact will consider an 
 64.23  award of punitive damages, evidence that the driver has been 
 64.24  convicted of violating section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
 64.25  or 609.21 (criminal vehicular homicide and injury) is admissible 
 64.26  into evidence. <i>[169.121, subd. 10a]</i>
