  7.2   $100,000 in the first year is for a 
  7.3   study of the feasibility and 
  7.4   desirability of allowing all vehicles 
  7.5   to use lanes on marked interstate 
  7.6   highways No. 394 and No. 35W presently 
  7.7   restricted to high-occupancy vehicles 
  7.8   only.  The commissioner shall determine 
  7.9   a time during which such use shall be 
  7.10  allowed, and take all necessary steps 
  7.11  to permit such use for the period of 
  7.12  the study.  The commissioner shall 
  7.13  contract with an independent consultant 
  7.14  to study the effects of opening the 
  7.15  lanes to all vehicles on traffic flow, 
  7.16  traffic congestion, transit and 
  7.17  high-occupancy vehicle use, and highway 
  7.18  safety on interstate highways No. 394 
  7.19  and No. 35W and other affected 
  7.20  highways.  The commissioner shall 
  7.21  report to the legislature on the 
  7.22  results of the study by February 1, 
  7.23  2002.  The commissioner shall take no 
  7.24  actions with respect to this study that 
  7.25  would result in a loss of federal funds 
  7.26  to the state or significant delay to a 
  7.27  state or local transportation project 
  7.28  financed partly with federal funds.

 16.6   appropriation may never be canceled.  
 16.7      (b) Before the proceeds are received in the proper special 
 16.8   fund, the commissioner may transfer to that fund from the 
 16.9   general fund amounts not exceeding the expected proceeds from 
 16.10  the next bond sale.  The commissioner shall return these amounts 
 16.11  to the general fund by transferring proceeds when received.  The 
 16.12  amounts of these transfers are appropriated from the general 
 16.13  fund and from the bond proceeds.  
 16.14     (c) Actual and necessary travel and subsistence expenses of 
 16.15  employees and all other nonsalary expenses incidental to the

 16.18  purpose.  Bond proceeds must not be used to pay any part of the 
 16.19  salary of a state employee involved in the sale, printing, 
 16.20  execution, or delivery of the bonds.

 16.34  state highway bond sale. 
 16.35  These funds must be used in accordance with the legislative 
 16.36  authorization to sell state highway bonds.  The commissioner 
 17.1   shall return these funds to the general fund or replace the

 17.12  reimburse an agency whose motor vehicles have been paid for with 
 17.13  funds dedicated by the constitution for a special purpose and 
 17.14  which are assigned to the central motor pool.  The amount of 
 17.15  reimbursement for a motor vehicle is its average wholesale price 
 17.16  as determined from the midwest edition of the National 
 17.17  Automobile Dealers Association official used car guide. 
 17.18     (b)  [PURCHASE.] To the extent that funds are available for 
 17.19  the purpose, the commissioner may purchase or otherwise acquire 
 17.20  additional passenger motor vehicles and trucks necessary for the 
 17.21  central motor pool.  The title to all motor vehicles assigned to 
 17.22  or purchased or acquired for the central motor pool is in the 
 17.23  name of the department of administration.  
 17.24     (c)  [TRANSFER AT AGENCY REQUEST.] On the request of an 
 17.25  agency, the commissioner may transfer to the central motor pool 
 17.26  any passenger motor vehicle or truck for the purpose of

 18.21     Subd. 2.  [CREATION AND VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS.] (a) A

 18.24  a delegate who is a party to the contract; 
 18.25     (2) it has been approved by the commissioner; 
 18.26     (3) it has been approved by the attorney general or a 
 18.27  delegate as to form and execution; 
 18.28     (4) the accounting system shows an obligation in an expense 
 18.29  budget or encumbrance for the amount of the contract liability; 
 18.30  and 
 18.31     (5) the combined contract and amendments shall not exceed 
 18.32  five years without specific, written approval by the 
 18.33  commissioner according to established policy, procedures, and 
 18.34  standards, or unless otherwise provided for by law.  The term of 
 18.35  the original contract must not exceed two years unless the 
 18.36  commissioner determines that a longer duration is in the best 
 19.1   interest of the state.  
 19.2      (b) Grants, interagency agreements, purchase orders, and 
 19.3   annual plans need not, in the discretion of the commissioner and 
 19.4   attorney general, require the signature of the commissioner 
 19.5   and/or the attorney general.  A signature is not required for 
 19.6   work orders and amendments to work orders related to department 
 19.7   of transportation contracts.  Bond purchase agreements by the 
 19.8   Minnesota public facilities authority do not require the

 19.14     Subd. 2a.  [TOWN BRIDGES AND CULVERTS; TOWN ROAD ACCOUNT.] 
 19.15  (a) Money in the town bridge account must be expended on town 
 19.16  road bridge structures that are ten feet or more in length and 
 19.17  on town road culverts that replace existing town road bridges.  
 19.18  In addition, if the present bridge structure is less than ten 
 19.19  feet in length but a hydrological survey indicates that the 
 19.20  replacement bridge structure or culvert must be ten feet or more 
 19.21  in length, then the bridge or culvert is eligible for 
 19.22  replacement funds. 
 19.23     (b) In addition, if a culvert that replaces a deficient 
 19.24  bridge is in a county comprehensive water plan approved by the 
 19.25  board of water and soil resources and the department of natural 
 19.26  resources, the costs of the culvert and roadway grading other 
 19.27  than surfacing are eligible for replacement funds up to the cost 
 19.28  of constructing a replacement bridge. 
 19.29     (c) The expenditures on a bridge structure or culvert may 
 19.30  be paid from the county turnback account and may be for 100 
 19.31  percent of the cost of the replacement structure or culvert or 
 19.32  for 100 percent of the cost of rehabilitating the existing 
 19.33  structure. 
 19.34     (d) The town bridge account may be used to pay the costs to 
 19.35  abandon an existing bridge that is deficient and in need of 
 19.36  replacement, but where no replacement will be made.  It may also 
 20.1   be used to pay the costs to construct a road or street to 
 20.2   facilitate the abandonment of an existing bridge determined by 
 20.3   the commissioner to be deficient, if the commissioner determines 
 20.4   that construction of the road or street is more cost efficient 
 20.5   than replacing the existing bridge. 
 20.6      (e) When bridge approach construction work exceeds $10,000 
 20.7   in costs, or when the county engineer determines that the cost 
 20.8   of the replacement culverts alone will not exceed $20,000, or 
 20.9   engineering costs exceed $10,000, the town shall be eligible for 
 20.10  financial assistance from the town bridge account.  Financial 
 20.11  assistance shall be requested by resolution of the county board 
 20.12  and shall be limited to: 
 20.13     (1) 100 percent of the cost of the bridge approach work 
 20.14  that is in excess of $10,000; or 
 20.15     (2) 100 percent of the cost of the replacement culverts 
 20.16  when the cost does not exceed $20,000 and the town board agrees 
 20.17  to be responsible for all the other costs, which may include 
 20.18  costs for structural removal, installation, and permitting.  The 
 20.19  replacement structure design and costs shall be approved and 
 20.20  certified by the county engineer, but need not be subsequently 
 20.21  approved by the department of transportation; or 
 20.22     (3) 100 percent of all related engineering costs that 
 20.23  exceed $10,000, or in the case of towns with a net tax capacity 
 20.24  of less than $200,000, 100 percent of the engineering costs. 
 20.25     (f) Money in the town road account must be distributed as 
 20.26  provided in section 162.081. 
 20.27     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 161.14, is

 25.30     Sec. 15.  [167.46] [PROPERTY PURCHASED WITH HIGHWAY BOND 
 25.31  PROCEEDS.] 
 25.32     Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITIONS.] (a) The definitions in this 
 25.33  subdivision apply to this section. 
 25.34     (b) "State trunk highway bond-financed property" means 
 25.35  property acquired, improved, or maintained in whole or in part 
 25.36  with the proceeds of state trunk highway bonds authorized to be 
 26.1   issued under the Minnesota Constitution, article XIV, section 11.
 26.2      (c) "Outstanding state trunk highway bonds" means the 
 26.3   dollar amount of state trunk highway bonds, including any 
 26.4   refunding state trunk highway bonds, issued with respect to 
 26.5   state trunk highway bond-financed property, less the principal 
 26.6   amount of state trunk highway bonds paid or defeased. 
 26.7      Subd. 2.  [LEASES.] (a) State trunk highway bond-financed 
 26.8   property may only be leased (1) for those purposes authorized by 
 26.9   law, (2) in accordance with the requirements of all other laws 
 26.10  and duly adopted rules applicable thereto, and orders, if any, 
 26.11  of the commissioner of finance intended to ensure the legality 
 26.12  and tax-exempt status of outstanding state trunk highway bonds, 
 26.13  and (3) with the approval of the commissioner of finance.  A 
 26.14  lease of state trunk highway bond-financed property, including 
 26.15  any renewals that are solely at the option of the lessee, must 
 26.16  be for a term substantially less than the useful life of the 
 26.17  state trunk highway bond-financed property, but may allow 
 26.18  renewal beyond that term upon a determination by the 
 26.19  commissioner of transportation that the use continues to be 
 26.20  authorized by law and that the additional term is authorized by 
 26.21  law.  A lease of state trunk highway bond-financed property must 
 26.22  be terminable by the commissioner of transportation if the other 
 26.23  contracting party defaults under the contract and must provide 
 26.24  for oversight by the commissioner of transportation.  
 26.25     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, money 
 26.26  received by the state under a lease of state trunk highway 
 26.27  bond-financed property must be paid to the commissioner of 
 26.28  transportation, deposited in the state trunk highway fund, and 
 26.29  used to pay or redeem or defease any outstanding state trunk 
 26.30  highway bonds in accordance with the commissioner of finance's 
 26.31  order authorizing their issuance.  The money paid to the 
 26.32  commissioner of transportation is appropriated for this 
 26.33  purpose.  Money in excess of the foregoing requirement must be 
 26.34  applied as otherwise required by law. 
 26.35     Subd. 3.  [SALES.] (a) State trunk highway bond-financed 
 26.36  property must not be sold unless the sale (1) is for a purpose 
 27.1   authorized by law, (2) is conducted in accordance with 
 27.2   applicable law and duly adopted rules, (3) is made in accordance 
 27.3   with orders, if any, of the commissioner of finance intended to 
 27.4   ensure the legality and tax-exempt status of outstanding state 
 27.5   trunk highway bonds, and (4) is approved by the commissioner of 
 27.6   finance. 
 27.7      (b) Notwithstanding any other law, the net proceeds of a 
 27.8   sale of any state trunk highway bond-financed property must be 
 27.9   paid to the commissioner of transportation, deposited in the 
 27.10  state trunk highway fund, and used to pay or redeem or defease 
 27.11  any outstanding trunk highway bonds in accordance with the 
 27.12  commissioner of finance's order authorizing their issuance.  The 
 27.13  net proceeds of sale paid to the commissioner of transportation 
 27.14  are appropriated for these purposes.  Any net proceeds of sale 
 27.15  in excess of the foregoing requirement must be applied as 
 27.16  otherwise required by law.  When all of the net proceeds of sale 
 27.17  have been applied as provided in this subdivision, the sold 
 27.18  property is no longer considered state trunk highway 
 27.19  bond-financed property. 
 27.20     Subd. 4.  [RELATION TO OTHER LAWS.] This section applies to 
 27.21  all state trunk highway bond-financed property unless otherwise 
 27.22  provided by law.

 27.29  highway bonds and interest thereon, whether or not issued 
 27.30  pursuant to section 167.50, in the same manner as the proceeds 
 27.31  of taxes paid into the trunk highway fund, and so much thereof 
 27.32  as may be necessary is appropriated for such payments.  The

 27.34  highway bond account, for the payment of such trunk highway 
 27.35  bonds and interest thereon, any other moneys in the state 
 27.36  treasury not otherwise appropriated.  The commissioner of

 40.2   from statewide and agency indirect costs payments.  
 40.3      Sec. 31.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 174.24, 
 40.4   subdivision 3b, is amended to read: 
 40.5      Subd. 3b.  [OPERATING ASSISTANCE.] (a) The commissioner 
 40.6   shall determine the total operating cost of any public transit 
 40.7   system receiving or applying for assistance in accordance with 
 40.8   generally accepted accounting principles.  To be eligible for 
 40.9   financial assistance, an applicant or recipient shall provide to 
 40.10  the commissioner all financial records and other information and 
 40.11  shall permit any inspection reasonably necessary to determine 
 40.12  total operating cost and correspondingly the amount of 
 40.13  assistance which may be paid to the applicant or recipient.  
 40.14  Where more than one county or municipality contributes 
 40.15  assistance to the operation of a public transit system, the 
 40.16  commissioner shall identify one as lead agency for the purpose 
 40.17  of receiving moneys money under this section.  
 40.18     (b) Prior to distributing operating assistance to eligible 
 40.19  recipients for any contract period, the commissioner shall place 
 40.20  all recipients into one of the following classifications:  large 
 40.21  urbanized area service, urbanized area service, small urban area 
 40.22  service, rural area service, and elderly and handicapped 
 40.23  service.  The commissioner shall distribute funds under this 
 40.24  section so that the percentage of total operating cost paid by 
 40.25  any recipient from local sources will not exceed the percentage 
 40.26  for that recipient's classification, except as provided in an 
 40.27  undue hardship case.  The percentages shall must be:  for large 
 40.28  urbanized area service, 50 percent; for urbanized area service 
 40.29  and small urban area service, 40 percent; for rural area 
 40.30  service, 35 percent; and for elderly and handicapped service, 35 
 40.31  percent.  The remainder of the total operating cost will be paid 
 40.32  from state funds less any assistance received by the recipient 
 40.33  from any federal source.  For purposes of this subdivision 
 40.34  "local sources" means all local sources of funds and includes 
 40.35  all operating revenue, tax levies, and contributions from public 
 40.36  funds, except that the commissioner may exclude from the total 
 41.1   assistance contract revenues derived from operations the cost of 
 41.2   which is excluded from the computation of total operating cost.  
 41.3   Total operating costs of the Duluth transit authority or a 
 41.4   successor agency shall not include costs related to the 
 41.5   Superior, Wisconsin service contract and the independent school 
 41.6   district No. 709 service contract.  
 41.7      (c) If a recipient informs the commissioner in writing 
 41.8   after the establishment of these percentages but prior to the 
 41.9   distribution of financial assistance for any year that paying 
 41.10  its designated percentage of total operating cost from local 
 41.11  sources will cause undue hardship, the commissioner may reduce 
 41.12  the percentage to be paid from local sources by the recipient 
 41.13  and increase the percentage to be paid from local sources by one 
 41.14  or more other recipients inside or outside the classification, 
 41.15  provided that no recipient shall have its percentage thus 
 41.16  reduced or increased for more than two years successively.  If 
 41.17  for any year the funds appropriated to the commissioner to carry 
 41.18  out the purposes of this section are insufficient to allow the 
 41.19  commissioner to pay the state share of total operating cost as 
 41.20  provided in this paragraph, the commissioner shall reduce the 
 41.21  state share in each classification to the extent necessary.

 41.28  facilities in the metropolitan area as defined in section 
 41.29  473.121, subdivision 2.  The commissioner shall not spend state

 41.35  house of representatives committees with jurisdiction over 
 41.36  transportation finance whenever the commissioner spends state 
 42.1   funds to study high-speed intercity passenger rail service.

 55.3   relevant information describing the project, must be made 
 55.4   available upon request to interested parties. 
 55.5      Subd. 2.  [FINAL DETERMINATION AUTHORITY.] Final 
 55.6   determination to use a design-build construction contracting 
 55.7   procedure may be made only by the commissioner. 
 55.8      Sec. 5.  [161.3418] [LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.] 
 55.9      Subdivision 1.  [LICENSED PROFESSIONAL REQUIRED.] Each 
 55.10  design-builder shall employ, or have as a partner, member, 
 55.11  officer, coventurer, or subcontractor a person duly licensed and 
 55.12  registered to provide the design services required to complete 
 55.13  the project and do business in the state. 
 55.14     Subd. 2.  [CONTRACTING FOR LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.] A 
 55.15  design-builder may enter into a contract to provide professional 
 55.16  or construction services for a project that the design-builder 
 55.17  is not licensed, registered, or qualified to perform, so long as 
 55.18  the design-builder provides those services through 
 55.19  subcontractors with duly licensed, registered, or otherwise 
 55.20  qualified individuals in accordance with sections 161.3410 to 
 55.21  161.3428. 
 55.22     Subd. 3.  [LIABILITY.] (a) Nothing in this section 
 55.23  authorizing design-build contracts is intended to limit or 
 55.24  eliminate the responsibility or liability owed by a professional 
 55.25  on a design-build project to the state, county, or city, or 
 55.26  other third parties under existing law. 
 55.27     (b) The design service portion of a design-build contract 
 55.28  must be considered a service and not a product. 
 55.29     Sec. 6.  [161.3420] [DESIGN-BUILD RFQ; SELECTION TEAM; 
 55.30  EVALUATION.] 
 55.31     Subdivision 1.  [TWO-PHASE PROCEDURE.] If the commissioner 
 55.32  determines that the design-build best value method of project 
 55.33  delivery is appropriate for a project, the commissioner shall 
 55.34  establish a two-phase procedure for awarding the design-build 
 55.35  contract, as described in this subdivision and section 161.3422. 
 55.36     Subd. 2.  [TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE.] During the 
 56.1   phase-one request for qualifications (RFQ) and before 
 56.2   solicitation, the commissioner shall appoint a technical review 
 56.3   committee of at least five individuals.  The technical review 
 56.4   committee must include an individual whose name and 
 56.5   qualifications are submitted to the commissioner by the 
 56.6   Minnesota chapter of the Associated General Contractors, after 
 56.7   consultation with other commercial contractor associations in 
 56.8   the state.  Members of the technical review committee who are 
 56.9   not state employees are subject to the Minnesota Government Data 
 56.10  Practices Act and section 16C.06 to the same extent that state 
 56.11  agencies are subject to those provisions.  A technical review 
 56.12  committee member may not participate in the review or discussion 
 56.13  of responses to a request for qualifications or request for 
 56.14  proposals when the member has a financial interest in any of the 
 56.15  design-build firms that respond to that request for 
 56.16  qualifications or request for proposals.  "Financial interest" 
 56.17  includes, but is not limited to, being or serving as an owner, 
 56.18  employee, partner, limited liability partner, shareholder, joint 
 56.19  venturer, family member, officer, or director of a design-build 
 56.20  firm responding to a request for qualifications or request for 
 56.21  proposals for a specific project, or having any other economic 
 56.22  interest in that design-build firm.  The members of the 
 56.23  technical review committee must be treated as state employees in 
 56.24  the event of litigation resulting from any action arising out of 
 56.25  their service on the committee. 
 56.26     Subd. 3.  [CONTENTS.] The commissioner shall prepare or 
 56.27  have prepared a request for qualifications.  The request for 
 56.28  qualifications must include the following: 
 56.29     (1) the minimum qualifications of design-builders necessary 
 56.30  to meet the requirements for acceptance; 
 56.31     (2) a scope of work statement and schedule; 
 56.32     (3) documents defining the project requirements; 
 56.33     (4) the form of contract to be awarded; 
 56.34     (5) the weighted selection criteria for compiling a short 
 56.35  list and the number of firms to be included in the short list, 
 56.36  which must be at least two but not more than five; 
 57.1      (6) a description of the RFP requirements; 
 57.2      (7) the maximum time allowed for design and construction; 
 57.3      (8) the commissioner's estimated cost of design and 
 57.4   construction; 
 57.5      (9) requirements for construction experience, design 
 57.6   experience, financial, personnel, and equipment resources 
 57.7   available from potential design-builders for the project and 
 57.8   experience in other design-build transportation projects or 
 57.9   similar projects, provided that these requirements may not 
 57.10  unduly restrict competition; and 
 57.11     (10) a statement that "past performance" or "experience" 
 57.12  does not include the exercise or assertion of a person's legal 
 57.13  rights. 
 57.14     Subd. 4.  [EVALUATION.] The selection team shall evaluate 
 57.15  the design-build qualifications of responding firms and shall 
 57.16  compile a short list of no more than five most highly qualified 
 57.17  firms in accordance with qualifications criteria described in 
 57.18  the RFQ.  If only one design-build firm responds to the RFQ or 
 57.19  remains on the short list, the commissioner may readvertise or 
 57.20  cancel the project as the commissioner deems necessary. 
 57.21     Sec. 7.  [161.3422] [RFP FOR DESIGN-BUILD.] 
 57.22     During phase two, the commissioner shall issue a request 
 57.23  for proposals (RFP) to the design-builders on the short list.  
 57.24  The request must include: 
 57.25     (1) the scope of work, including (i) performance and 
 57.26  technical requirements, (ii) conceptual design, (iii) 
 57.27  specifications, and (iv) functional and operational elements for 
 57.28  the delivery of the completed project, which must be prepared by 
 57.29  a registered or licensed professional engineer; 
 57.30     (2) a description of the qualifications required of the 
 57.31  design-builder and the selection criteria, including the weight 
 57.32  or relative order, or both, of each criterion; 
 57.33     (3) copies of the contract documents that the successful 
 57.34  proposer will be expected to sign; 
 57.35     (4) the maximum time allowable for design and construction; 
 57.36     (5) the road authority's estimated cost of design and 
 58.1   construction; 
 58.2      (6) the requirement that a submitted proposal be segmented 
 58.3   into two parts, a technical proposal and a price proposal; 
 58.4      (7) the requirement that each proposal be in a separately 
 58.5   sealed, clearly identified package and include the date and time 
 58.6   of the submittal deadline; 
 58.7      (8) the requirement that the technical proposal include a 
 58.8   critical path method; bar schedule of the work to be performed, 
 58.9   or similar schematic; design plans and specifications; technical 
 58.10  reports; calculations; permit requirements; applicable 
 58.11  development fees; and other data requested in the request for 
 58.12  proposals; 
 58.13     (9) the requirement that the price proposal contain all 
 58.14  design, construction, engineering, inspection, and construction 
 58.15  costs of the proposed project; 
 58.16     (10) the date, time, and location of the public opening of 
 58.17  the sealed price proposals; and 
 58.18     (11) other information relevant to the project. 
 58.19     Sec. 8.  [161.3424] [REPLACING TEAM MEMBERS.] 
 58.20     An individual or a design-build firm identified in a 
 58.21  response to a request for qualifications or a request for 
 58.22  proposals may not be replaced without the written approval of 
 58.23  the commissioner.  The commissioner may revoke an awarded 
 58.24  contract if an individual or a design-build firm identified in a 
 58.25  response to an RFQ or RFP is replaced without the commissioner's 
 58.26  written approval.  To qualify for the commissioner's approval, 
 58.27  the written request must document that the proposed replacement 
 58.28  individual or design-build firm will be equal to or better than 
 58.29  that described in the response to the request for qualifications 
 58.30  or request for proposals.  The commissioner shall use the 
 58.31  criteria specified in the request for qualifications or request 
 58.32  for proposals to evaluate the request. 
 58.33     Sec. 9.  [161.3426] [DESIGN-BUILD AWARD.] 
 58.34     Subdivision 1.  [AWARD; COMPUTATION; ANNOUNCEMENT.] Except 
 58.35  as provided in subdivision 2, a design-build contract shall be 
 58.36  awarded as follows: 
 59.1      (a) The technical review committee shall score the 
 59.2   technical proposals using the selection criteria in the request 
 59.3   for proposals (RFP).  The technical review committee shall then 
 59.4   submit a technical proposal score for each design-builder to the 
 59.5   commissioner.  The technical review committee shall reject any 
 59.6   proposal it deems nonresponsive. 
 59.7      (b) The commissioner shall announce the technical proposal 
 59.8   score for each design-builder and shall publicly open the sealed 
 59.9   price proposals and shall divide each design-builder's price by 
 59.10  the technical score that the technical review committee has 
 59.11  given to it to obtain an adjusted score.  The design-builder 
 59.12  selected must be that responsive and responsible design-builder 
 59.13  whose adjusted score is the lowest. 
 59.14     (c) If a time factor is included with the selection 
 59.15  criteria in the request for proposals package, the commissioner 
 59.16  may also adjust the bids using a value of the time factor 
 59.17  established by the commissioner.  The value of the time factor 
 59.18  must be expressed as a value per day.  The adjustment must be 
 59.19  based on the total time value.  The total time value is the 
 59.20  design-builder's total number of days to complete the project 
 59.21  multiplied by the factor.  The time-adjusted price is the total 
 59.22  time value plus the bid amount.  This adjustment must be used 
 59.23  for selection purposes only, and must not affect the department 
 59.24  of transportation's liquidated damages schedule or incentive or 
 59.25  disincentive program.  An adjusted score must then be obtained 
 59.26  by dividing each design-builder's time-adjusted price by the 
 59.27  score given by the technical review team.  The commissioner 
 59.28  shall select the responsive and responsible design-builder whose 
 59.29  adjusted score is the lowest. 
 59.30     (d) Unless all proposals are rejected, the commissioner 
 59.31  shall award the contract to the responsive and responsible 
 59.32  design-builder with the lowest adjusted score.  The commissioner 
 59.33  shall reserve the right to reject all proposals. 
 59.34     Subd. 2.  [ALTERNATIVE PROCESS FOR CERTAIN CONTRACTS.] (a) 
 59.35  The commissioner may elect to use the process in paragraph (b) 
 59.36  for a design-build contract for a project with an estimated 
 60.1   project cost of less than $5,000,000. 
 60.2      (b) The commissioner shall give the lowest cost proposal 
 60.3   the full number of price points defined in the request for 
 60.4   proposals.  The commissioner shall award each of the other 
 60.5   proposals a percentage of the price points based on a ratio of 
 60.6   the lowest price divided by the responder's price.  The 
 60.7   commissioner shall add the technical score and price score and 
 60.8   award the contract to the responder with the highest total score.
 60.9      Subd. 3.  [STIPULATED FEE.] The commissioner shall award a 
 60.10  stipulated fee not less than two-tenths of one percent of the 
 60.11  department's estimated cost of design and construction to each 
 60.12  short-listed, responsible proposer who provides a responsive but 
 60.13  unsuccessful proposal.  If the commissioner does not award a 
 60.14  contract, all short-listed proposers must receive the stipulated 
 60.15  fee.  If the commissioner cancels the contract before reviewing 
 60.16  the technical proposals, the commissioner shall award each 
 60.17  design-builder on the short list a stipulated fee of not less 
 60.18  than two-tenths of one percent of the commissioner's estimated 
 60.19  cost of design and construction.  The commissioner shall pay the 
 60.20  stipulated fee to each proposer within 90 days after the award 
 60.21  of the contract or the decision not to award a contract.  In 
 60.22  consideration for paying the stipulated fee, the commissioner 
 60.23  may use any ideas or information contained in the proposals in 
 60.24  connection with any contract awarded for the project or in 
 60.25  connection with a subsequent procurement, without any obligation 
 60.26  to pay any additional compensation to the unsuccessful proposers.
 60.27  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subdivision, an 
 60.28  unsuccessful short-list proposer may elect to waive the 
 60.29  stipulated fee.  If an unsuccessful short-list proposer elects 
 60.30  to waive the stipulated fee, the commissioner may not use ideas 
 60.31  and information contained in that proposer's proposal.  Upon the 
 60.32  request of the commissioner, a proposer who waived a stipulated 
 60.33  fee may withdraw the waiver, in which case the commissioner 
 60.34  shall pay the stipulated fee to the proposer and thereafter may 
 60.35  use ideas and information in the proposer's proposal. 
 60.36     Subd. 4.  [LOW-BID DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS.] (a) The 
 61.1   commissioner may also use low-bid, design-build procedures to 
 61.2   award a design-build contract where the scope of the work can be 
 61.3   clearly defined. 
 61.4      (b) Low-bid design-build projects may require an RFQ and 
 61.5   short-listing, and must require an RFP. 
 61.6      (c) Submitted proposals under this subdivision must include 
 61.7   separately a technical proposal and a price proposal.  The 
 61.8   low-bid, design-build procedures must follow a two-step process 
 61.9   for review of the responses to the RFP as follows:  
 61.10     (1) The first step is the review of the technical proposal 
 61.11  by the technical review committee as provided in section 
 61.12  161.3420, subdivision 2.  The technical review committee must 
 61.13  open the technical proposal first and must determine if it 
 61.14  complies with the requirements of the RFP and is responsive.  
 61.15  The technical review committee may not perform any ranking or 
 61.16  scoring of the technical proposals.  
 61.17     (2) The second step is the determination of the low bidder 
 61.18  based on the price proposal.  The commissioner may not open the 
 61.19  price proposal until the review of the technical proposal is 
 61.20  complete. 
 61.21     (d) The contract award under low-bid, design-build 
 61.22  procedures must be made to the proposer whose sealed bid is 
 61.23  responsive to the technical requirements as determined by the 
 61.24  technical review committee and that is also the lowest bid. 
 61.25     (e) A stipulated fee may be paid for unsuccessful bids on 
 61.26  low-bid, design-build projects only when the commissioner has 
 61.27  required an RFQ and short-listed the most highly qualified 
 61.28  responsive bidders.  
 61.29     Subd. 5.  [REJECTION OF BIDS.] The commissioner may reject 
 61.30  all bids under this section. 
 61.31     Sec. 10.  [161.3428] [LIST OF DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTS.] 
 61.32     Beginning September 1, 2002, and every subsequent year on 
 61.33  September 1, the commissioner shall submit to the governor, to 
 61.34  the chairs of the house ways and means and senate finance 
 61.35  committees, to the chairs of the house and senate committees 
 61.36  having jurisdiction over transportation policy and finance, and 
 62.1   the legislative reference library, a yearly listing of all 
 62.2   executed design-build contracts.  The report must identify the 
 62.3   contractor, contract amount, duration, and services to be 
 62.4   provided.  The list and summary must: 
 62.5      (1) be sorted by contractor; 
 62.6      (2) show the aggregate value of contracts issued by the 
 62.7   commissioner of transportation and issued to each contractor; 
 62.8   and 
 62.9      (3) state the termination date of each contract. 
 62.10     Sec. 11.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
 62.11     Sections 1 to 10 are effective the day following final 
 62.12  enactment.

 75.19  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 75.20     Subd. 2.  [REPORT, TASK FORCE.] (a) The policy group shall

 77.2   (a) The court shall impose and the court administrator shall 
 77.3   collect a $25 $28 surcharge on every person convicted of any 
 77.4   felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or petty misdemeanor

 77.30     Subd. 7.  [DISBURSEMENT OF SURCHARGES BY STATE TREASURER.] 
 77.31  (a) The state treasurer shall disburse surcharges $25 out of 
 77.32  each $28 surcharge received under subdivision 6 and section 
 77.33  97A.065, subdivision 2, as follows:

 78.13  agencies and for other purposes authorized by the legislature. 
 78.14     Sec. 12.  [609.118] [FINGERPRINTING REQUIRED.] 
 78.15     (a) When a person is convicted of a felony, gross 
 78.16  misdemeanor, or targeted misdemeanor, as defined in section

 78.19  to immediately report to the law enforcement agency responsible 
 78.20  for the collection of fingerprint and other identification data

 78.27     (c) A person who fails to obey a court order under

 78.31  statutory requirements or local policies regarding the

 78.33     Sec. 13.  [626.8471] [AVOIDING RACIAL PROFILING; POLICIES 
 78.34  AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES REQUIRED.] 
 78.35     Subdivision 1.  [PURPOSE.] The legislature finds that the 
 78.36  reality or public perception of racial profiling alienates 
 79.1   people from police, hinders community policing efforts, and 
 79.2   causes law enforcement to lose credibility and trust among the 
 79.3   people law enforcement is sworn to protect and serve.  No stop 
 79.4   initiated by a peace officer should be made without a legitimate 
 79.5   reason; race, ethnicity, or national origin alone should never 
 79.6   provide a sufficient reason.  Law enforcement policies and 
 79.7   training programs must emphasize the need to respect the balance 
 79.8   between the rights of all persons to be free from unreasonable 
 79.9   governmental intrusions and law enforcement's need to enforce 
 79.10  the law. 
 79.11     Subd. 2.  [DEFINITION.] "Racial profiling" means any action 
 79.12  initiated by law enforcement that relies upon the race, 
 79.13  ethnicity, or national origin of an individual rather than: 
 79.14     (1) the behavior of that individual; or 
 79.15     (2) information that leads law enforcement to a particular 
 79.16  individual who has been identified as being engaged in or having 
 79.17  been engaged in criminal activity.  
 79.18     Racial profiling includes use of racial or ethnic 
 79.19  stereotypes as factors in selecting whom to stop and search.  
 79.20  Racial profiling does not include law enforcement's use of race 
 79.21  or ethnicity to determine whether a person matches a specific 
 79.22  description of a particular subject.  
 79.23     Subd. 3.  [STATEWIDE MODEL POLICY.] (a) The board of peace 
 79.24  officer standards and training shall consult with the Minnesota 
 79.25  chiefs of police association, the Minnesota sheriffs 
 79.26  association, the racial profiling advisory committee, and the 
 79.27  Minnesota police and peace officers association in developing an 
 79.28  antiracial profiling model policy governing the conduct of peace 
 79.29  officers engaged in stops of citizens.  This policy shall define 
 79.30  racial profiling and identify conduct that violates the law.  
 79.31  The policy must also include a duty to give the officer's name 
 79.32  or badge number and identify the officer's department during 
 79.33  routine traffic stops.  
 79.34     (b) The board shall adopt a model policy and distribute the 
 79.35  model policy to all chief law enforcement officers by August 1, 
 79.36  2001. 
 80.1      Subd. 4.  [AGENCY POLICIES REQUIRED.] (a) By November 1, 
 80.2   2001, the chief law enforcement officer of every state and local 
 80.3   law enforcement agency must establish and enforce a written 
 80.4   antiracial profiling policy governing the conduct of peace 
 80.5   officers engaged in stops of citizens.  The chief law 
 80.6   enforcement officer shall ensure that each peace officer 
 80.7   receives a copy of the agency's antiracial profiling policy.  
 80.8   The chief law enforcement officer also must ensure that each 
 80.9   peace officer is aware of the policy's purpose and the conduct 
 80.10  prohibited by it.  
 80.11     (b) The policy must, at a minimum, comply with the 
 80.12  requirements of the model policy adopted by the board under 
 80.13  subdivision 3. 
 80.14     (c) Every state and local law enforcement agency must 
 80.15  certify to the board that it has adopted a written policy in 
 80.16  compliance with the board's model policy. 
 80.17     (d) The board shall assist the chief law enforcement 
 80.18  officer of each state and local law enforcement agency in 
 80.19  developing and implementing antiracial profiling policies under 
 80.20  this subdivision. 
 80.21     Subd. 5.  [PRESERVICE TRAINING LEARNING OBJECTIVES; 
 80.22  REQUIREMENTS.] (a) By August 1, 2001, the board shall prepare 
 80.23  learning objectives for preservice training to instruct peace 
 80.24  officers in avoiding racial profiling when making stops of 
 80.25  citizens.  These learning objectives shall be included in the 
 80.26  required curriculum of professional peace officer education 
 80.27  programs.  
 80.28     (b) An individual is not eligible to take the peace officer 
 80.29  licensing examination or the part-time peace officer licensing 
 80.30  examination on or after June 1, 2002, unless:  
 80.31     (1) the individual has received the training described in 
 80.32  paragraph (a); and 
 80.33     (2) the individual has completed a psychological evaluation 
 80.34  demonstrating that the individual is not likely to engage in 
 80.35  racial profiling. 
 80.36     Subd. 6.  [IN-SERVICE TRAINING LEARNING OBJECTIVES.] By 
 81.1   August 1, 2001, the board shall prepare learning objectives for 
 81.2   in-service training to instruct peace officers in avoiding 
 81.3   racial profiling when making stops of citizens.  The board shall 
 81.4   evaluate and monitor in-service training courses to ensure they 
 81.5   satisfy the learning objectives. 
 81.6      Subd. 7.  [CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND SUPERVISORS; 
 81.7   REQUIREMENTS.] The executive director of the board of peace 
 81.8   officer standards and training shall prepare training materials 
 81.9   to provide chief law enforcement officers and other peace 
 81.10  officers with supervisory authority with information on how to 
 81.11  detect and respond to racial profiling by peace officers under 
 81.12  their command.  The training materials must address both the 
 81.13  agency's antiracial profiling policy and procedural components 
 81.14  aimed at eliminating racial profiling in stops of citizens.  The 
 81.15  materials must include information on federal and state 
 81.16  constitutional and statutory laws prohibiting discrimination by 
 81.17  law enforcement.  The procedural information must describe 
 81.18  conduct that is unlawful or inappropriate and present guidelines 
 81.19  for reinforcing techniques that are lawful and appropriate.  The 
 81.20  procedural information shall discuss appropriate search and 
 81.21  seizure and interviewing techniques. 
 81.22     Subd. 8.  [POST BOARD; COMPLIANCE REVIEWS AUTHORIZED.] The 
 81.23  board has authority to inspect state and local agency policies 
 81.24  to ensure compliance with subdivision 4.  The board may conduct 
 81.25  this inspection based upon a complaint it receives about a 
 81.26  particular agency or through a random selection process. 
 81.27     Sec. 14.  [626.8515] [CERTAIN BACCALAUREATE DEGREE HOLDERS 
 81.28  ELIGIBLE TO TAKE LICENSING EXAMINATION.] 
 81.29     A person with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited 
 81.30  college or university who has successfully completed a 
 81.31  board-certified practical skills oriented basic training course 
 81.32  is eligible to take the peace officer licensing examination. 
 81.33     Sec. 15.  [626.8517] [ELIGIBILITY FOR RECIPROCITY 
 81.34  EXAMINATION BASED ON RELEVANT MILITARY EXPERIENCE.] 
 81.35     (a) For purposes of this section, "relevant military 
 81.36  experience" means five years of active duty military police 
 82.1   service. 
 82.2      (b) A person who has relevant military experience and who 
 82.3   has been honorably discharged from the military is eligible to 
 82.4   take the reciprocity examination. 
 82.5      Sec. 16.  [626.951] [RACIAL PROFILING STUDY; REPORT 
 82.6   REQUIRED.] 
 82.7      Subdivision 1.  [RACIAL PROFILING STUDY.] (a) The 
 82.8   commissioner of public safety shall oversee a statewide study on

 82.12  section.  Agencies that receive state money for the installation 
 82.13  of video cameras in police vehicles shall participate in the

 82.34     (d) The elements listed in paragraph (b) are the minimum 
 82.35  that a law enforcement agency participating in the study must 
 82.36  collect.  Nothing in this section prohibits an agency from 
 83.1   voluntarily collecting additional data elements.  If an agency 
 83.2   collects additional data elements, the data are classified as 
 83.3   provided in subdivision 7. 
 83.4      Subd. 2.  [SUBMISSION OF DATA TO COMMISSIONER.] On a 
 83.5   frequency determined by the commissioner of public safety, each 
 83.6   chief law enforcement officer of a law enforcement agency 
 83.7   participating in the study shall submit to the commissioner the

 84.6   state.  By December 1, 2003, the expert shall report the results 
 84.7   of the analysis to the chairs of the senate and house committees 
 84.8   having jurisdiction over criminal justice policy. 
 84.9      Subd. 7.  [DATA.] If law enforcement agencies collect data 
 84.10  for purposes of traffic stops, the data collected, including 
 84.11  video data, are private data on individuals or nonpublic data as

105.36  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
106.1      Subd. 3.  [REGISTRATION PROCEDURE.] (a) A person required 
106.2   to register under this section shall register with the 
106.3   corrections agent as soon as the agent is assigned to the 
106.4   person.  If the person does not have an assigned corrections 
106.5   agent or is unable to locate the assigned corrections agent, the 
106.6   person shall register with the law enforcement agency that has 
106.7   jurisdiction in the area of the person's residence. 
106.8      (b) At least five days before the person starts living at a 
106.9   new primary address, including living in another state, the 
106.10  person shall give written notice of the new primary living 
106.11  address to the assigned corrections agent or to the law

106.14  that state has a registration requirement, the person shall also 
106.15  give written notice of the new address to the designated 
106.16  registration agency in the new state.  The corrections agent or 
106.17  law enforcement authority shall, within two business days after 
106.18  receipt of this information, forward it to the bureau of 
106.19  criminal apprehension.  The bureau of criminal apprehension 
106.20  shall, if it has not already been done, notify the law 
106.21  enforcement authority having primary jurisdiction in the 
106.22  community where the person will live of the new address.  If the 
106.23  person is leaving the state, the bureau of criminal apprehension 
106.24  shall notify the registration authority in the new state of the 
106.25  new address.  If the person's obligation to register arose under

106.27  requirements under this section terminate when the person begins 
106.28  living in the new state. 
106.29     (c) A person required to register under subdivision 1, 
106.30  paragraph (b), because the person is working or attending school 
106.31  in Minnesota shall register with the law enforcement agency that 
106.32  has jurisdiction in the area where the person works or attends 
106.33  school.  In addition to other information required by this

106.35  of the location where the person is employed.  A person must 
106.36  comply with this paragraph within five days of beginning 
107.1   employment or school.  A person's obligation to register under 
107.2   this paragraph terminates when the person is no longer working 
107.3   or attending school in Minnesota. 
107.4      (d) A person required to register under this section who 
107.5   works or attends school outside of Minnesota shall register as a 
107.6   predatory offender in the state where the person works or 
107.7   attends school.  The person's corrections agent, or if the 
107.8   person does not have an assigned corrections agent, the law 
107.9   enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the 
107.10  person's residence shall notify the person of this requirement. 
107.11     Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 243.166,

107.13     Subd. 4a.  [INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED.] (a) A 
107.14  person required to register under this section shall provide to 
107.15  the corrections agent or law enforcement authority the following 
107.16  information: 
107.17     (1) the address of the person's primary residence;

107.27     (6) the year, model, make, license plate number, and color 
107.28  of all motor vehicles owned or regularly driven by the 
107.29  person.  "Motor vehicle" has the meaning given "vehicle" in 
107.30  section 169.01, subdivision 2. 
107.31     (b) The person shall report to the agent or authority the 
107.32  information required to be provided under paragraph (a), clauses 
107.33  (2) to (6), within five days of the date the clause becomes 
107.34  applicable.  If because of a change in circumstances a clause no 
107.35  longer applies to previously reported information, the person 
107.36  shall immediately inform the agent or authority that the 
108.1   information is no longer valid. 
108.2      Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 243.166, 
108.3   subdivision 6, is amended to read:

108.9   registered in connection with the offense, or until the

108.16  fails to register following a change in residence, the 
108.17  commissioner of public safety may require the person to continue 
108.18  to register for an additional period of five years.  This 
108.19  five-year period is added to the end of the offender's 
108.20  registration period.

108.22  subsequently incarcerated following a revocation of probation, 
108.23  supervised release, or conditional release for that offense, or 
108.24  a conviction for any new offense, the person shall continue to 
108.25  register until ten years have elapsed since the person was last 
108.26  released from incarceration or until the person's probation, 
108.27  supervised release, or conditional release period expires, 
108.28  whichever occurs later. 
108.29     (d) A person shall continue to comply with this section for 
108.30  the life of that person:

108.33  subdivision 1, or any offense from another state or any federal 
108.34  offense similar to the offenses described in subdivision 1, and 
108.35  the person has a prior conviction or adjudication for an offense 
108.36  for which registration was required under subdivision 1, or an 
109.1   offense from another state or a federal offense similar to an 
109.2   offense described in subdivision 1; 
109.3      (2) if the person is required to register based upon a 
109.4   conviction or delinquency adjudication for an offense under 
109.5   section 609.185, clause (2), or a similar statute from another 
109.6   state or the United States;

109.9   paragraph (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (h); 609.343, subdivision 
109.10  1, paragraph (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (h); 609.344,

109.12  subdivision 1, paragraph (a), (c), or (g); or a statute from 
109.13  another state or the United States similar to the offenses 
109.14  described in this clause; or 
109.15     (3) (4) if the person is required to register under 
109.16  subdivision 1, paragraph (c), following commitment pursuant to a 
109.17  court commitment under section 253B.185 or a similar law of 
109.18  another state or the United States. 
109.19     Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 243.167, 
109.20  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
109.21     Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] As used in this section, 
109.22  "crime against the person" means a violation of any of the 
109.23  following or a similar law of another state or of the United 
109.24  States:  section 609.165; 609.185; 609.19; 609.195; 609.20;

112.18     Sec. 7.  [LEGISLATIVE INTENT; REPEAL OF SECTION 243.166, 
112.19  SUBDIVISION 10.] 
112.20     The original intent of the legislature in enacting 
112.21  Minnesota Statutes, section 243.166, subdivision 10, was to 
112.22  provide for a more uniform application of the predatory offender 
112.23  registration law.  Applying certain amendments to the law 
112.24  retroactively to certain offenders was intended to ease the 
112.25  administrative burden on agencies enforcing the law and better 
112.26  serve the policy underlying it.  The subdivision was not 
112.27  intended to act as a limitation on registration but rather, in 
112.28  some cases, as an expansion.  The intent in repealing this 
112.29  subdivision is to prevent a potential judicial misinterpretation 
112.30  of it that was neither intended nor contemplated by the 
112.31  legislature.  The repeal must not be construed as a substantive 
112.32  change in the application or scope of Minnesota Statutes, 
112.33  section 243.166. 
112.34     Sec. 8.  [REPEALER.] 
112.35     Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 243.166, subdivision 10, 
112.36  is repealed. 
113.1      Sec. 9.  [EFFECTIVE DATES.] 
113.2      (a) Sections 1 to 7 are effective the day following final 
113.3   enactment. 
113.4      (b) Section 8 is effective retroactively to April 4, 2000.

113.14  driving incident is subject only to the criminal penalty 
113.15  provided in section 169A.25 (first-degree second-degree driving

115.23  sentence a person who is convicted of a violation of section 
115.24  169A.20 (driving while impaired) within ten years of a qualified 
115.25  prior impaired driving incident to either:  
115.26     (1) a minimum of 30 days of incarceration, at least 48

115.28  correctional facility; or 
115.29     (2) eight hours of community work service for each day less 
115.30  than 30 days that the person is ordered to serve in a local

115.32  Notwithstanding section 609.135 (stay of imposition or execution 
115.33  of sentence), the penalties in this paragraph must be executed, 
115.34  unless the court departs from the mandatory minimum sentence 
115.35  under paragraph (b) or (c). 
115.36     (b) Prior to sentencing, the prosecutor may file a motion 
116.1   to have a defendant described in paragraph (a) sentenced without 
116.2   regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by that 
116.3   paragraph.  The motion must be accompanied by a statement on the 
116.4   record of the reasons for it.  When presented with the 
116.5   prosecutor's motion and if it finds that substantial mitigating 
116.6   factors exist, the court shall sentence the defendant without 
116.7   regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by 
116.8   paragraph (a).  
116.9      (c) The court may, on its own motion, sentence a defendant

116.12  substantial mitigating factors exist and if its sentencing 
116.13  departure is accompanied by a statement on the record of the 
116.14  reasons for it.  The court also may sentence the defendant 
116.15  without regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by 
116.16  paragraph (a) if the defendant is sentenced to probation and 
116.17  ordered to participate in a program established under section 
116.18  169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive probation for repeat DWI 
116.19  offenders). 
116.20     (d) When any portion of the sentence required by paragraph 
116.21  (a) is not executed, the court should impose a sentence that is 
116.22  proportional to the extent of the offender's prior criminal and 
116.23  moving traffic violation record.  Any sentence required under 
116.24  paragraph (a) must include a mandatory sentence that is not 
116.25  subject to suspension or a stay of imposition or execution, and

116.27  hours or at least 80 hours of community work service.

117.1   probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to 
117.2   consecutively serve at least six days in a local correctional 
117.3   facility.

117.6   on home detention or in an intensive probation program described 
117.7   in section 169A.74. 
117.8      (c) Notwithstanding section 609.135, the penalties in this 
117.9   subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
117.10     Subd. 3.  [FOURTH OFFENSE.] (a) Unless the court commits 
117.11  the person to the custody of the commissioner of corrections as 
117.12  provided in section 169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony 
117.13  violations), the court shall sentence a person who is convicted 
117.14  of a violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
117.15  within ten years of the first of three qualified prior impaired 
117.16  driving incidents to either: 
117.17     (1) a minimum of 180 days of incarceration, at least 30 
117.18  days of which must be served consecutively in a local 
117.19  correctional facility; or 
117.20     (2) a program of intensive supervision of the type 
117.21  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
117.22  probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to 
117.23  consecutively serve at least six days in a local correctional 
117.24  facility.  
117.25     (b) The court may order that the person serve not more than 
117.26  150 days of the minimum penalty under paragraph (a), clause (1), 
117.27  on home detention or in an intensive probation program described 
117.28  in section 169A.74.  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the 
117.29  penalties in this subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
117.30     Subd. 4.  [FIFTH OFFENSE OR MORE.] (a) Unless the court 
117.31  commits the person to the custody of the commissioner of 
117.32  corrections as provided in section 169A.276 (mandatory 
117.33  penalties; felony violations), the court shall sentence a person 
117.34  who is convicted of a violation of section 169A.20 (driving 
117.35  while impaired) within ten years of the first of four or more 
117.36  qualified prior impaired driving incidents to either: 
118.1      (1) a minimum of one year of incarceration, at least 60 
118.2   days of which must be served consecutively in a local 
118.3   correctional facility; or 
118.4      (2) a program of intensive supervision of the type 
118.5   described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
118.6   probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to 
118.7   consecutively serve at least six days in a local correctional 
118.8   facility.  
118.9      (b) The court may order that the person serve the remainder 
118.10  of the minimum penalty under paragraph (a), clause (1), on 
118.11  intensive probation using an electronic monitoring system or, if 
118.12  such a system is unavailable, on home detention.  
118.13  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the penalties in this 
118.14  subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
118.15     Subd. 5.  [LEVEL OF CARE RECOMMENDED IN CHEMICAL USE 
118.16  ASSESSMENT.] Unless the court commits the person to the custody 
118.17  of the commissioner of corrections as provided in section 
118.18  169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony violations), in addition 
118.19  to other penalties required under this section, the court shall 
118.20  order a person to submit to the level of care recommended in the 
118.21  chemical use assessment conducted under section 169A.70 (alcohol 
118.22  safety program; chemical use assessments) if the person is 
118.23  convicted of violating section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
118.24  while having an alcohol concentration of 0.20 or more as 
118.25  measured at the time, or within two hours of the time, of the 
118.26  offense or if the violation occurs within ten years of one or 
118.27  more qualified prior impaired driving incidents. 
118.28     Sec. 8.  [169A.276] [MANDATORY PENALTIES; FELONY 
118.29  VIOLATIONS.] 
118.30     Subdivision 1.  [MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCE.] (a) The court 
118.31  shall sentence a person who is convicted of a violation of 
118.32  section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) under the circumstances 
118.33  described in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while 
118.34  impaired) to imprisonment for not less than three years.  In 
118.35  addition, the court may order the person to pay a fine of not 
118.36  more than $14,000.  
119.1      (b) The court may stay execution of this mandatory sentence 
119.2   as provided in subdivision 2 (stay of mandatory sentence), but 
119.3   may not stay imposition or adjudication of the sentence or 
119.4   impose a sentence that has a duration of less than three years. 
119.5      (c) An offender committed to the custody of the 
119.6   commissioner of corrections under this subdivision, is not 
119.7   eligible for release as provided in section 241.26, 244.065, 
119.8   244.12, or 244.17, unless the offender has successfully 
119.9   completed a chemical dependency treatment program while in 
119.10  prison.  
119.11     (d) Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence provided 
119.12  in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), when 
119.13  the court commits a person to the custody of the commissioner of 
119.14  corrections under this subdivision, it shall provide that after 
119.15  the person has been released from prison the commissioner shall 
119.16  place the person on conditional release for five years.  The 
119.17  commissioner shall impose any conditions of release that the 
119.18  commissioner deems appropriate including, but not limited to, 
119.19  successful completion of an intensive probation program as 
119.20  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
119.21  probation for repeat DWI offenders).  If the person fails to 
119.22  comply with any condition of release, the commissioner may 
119.23  revoke the person's conditional release and order the person to 
119.24  serve all or part of the remaining portion of the conditional 
119.25  release term in prison.  The commissioner may not dismiss the 
119.26  person from supervision before the conditional release term 
119.27  expires.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, 
119.28  conditional release is governed by provisions relating to 
119.29  supervised release.  The failure of a court to direct the 
119.30  commissioner of corrections to place the person on conditional 
119.31  release, as required in this paragraph, does not affect the 
119.32  applicability of the conditional release provisions to the 
119.33  person. 
119.34     (e) The commissioner shall require persons placed on 
119.35  supervised or conditional release under this subdivision to pay 
119.36  as much of the costs of the supervision as possible.  The 
120.1   commissioner shall develop appropriate standards for this.  
120.2      Subd. 2.  [STAY OF MANDATORY SENTENCE.] The provisions of 
120.3   sections 169A.275 (mandatory penalties; nonfelony violations), 
120.4   subdivision 3 or 4, and subdivision 5, and 169A.283 (stay of 
120.5   execution of sentence), apply if the court stays execution of 
120.6   the sentence under subdivision 1 (mandatory prison sentence).  
120.7   In addition, the provisions of section 169A.277 (long-term 
120.8   monitoring) may apply.  
120.9      Subd. 3.  [DRIVER'S LICENSE REVOCATION; NO STAY PERMITTED.] 
120.10  The court may not stay the execution of the driver's license 
120.11  revocation provisions of section 169A.54 (impaired driving 
120.12  convictions and adjudications; administrative penalties). 
120.13     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 169A.283, 
120.14  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
120.15     Subdivision 1.  [STAY AUTHORIZED.] Except as otherwise 
120.16  provided in section sections 169A.275 (mandatory penalties; 
120.17  nonfelony violations) and 169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony 
120.18  violations), when a court sentences a person convicted of a 
120.19  violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), the court 
120.20  may stay execution of the criminal sentence described in section 
120.21  169A.25 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), 169A.26 
120.22  169A.25 (second-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.27 
120.23  169A.26 (third-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.27 
120.24  (fourth-degree driving while impaired) on the condition that the 
120.25  convicted person submit to the level of care recommended in the 
120.26  chemical use assessment report required under section 169A.70 
120.27  (alcohol safety programs; chemical use assessments).  If the 
120.28  court does not order a level of care in accordance with the 
120.29  assessment report recommendation as a condition of a stay of 
120.30  execution, it shall state on the record its reasons for not 
120.31  following the assessment report recommendation. 
120.32     Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 169A.40, 
120.33  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
120.34     Subd. 3.  [FIRST-DEGREE AND SECOND-DEGREE DWI OFFENDERS;

120.36  Criminal Procedure, a peace officer acting without a warrant who 
121.1   has decided to proceed with the prosecution of a person for 
121.2   violating section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), shall arrest 
121.3   and take the person into custody if the officer has reason to 
121.4   believe the violation occurred under the circumstances described 
121.5   in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired) or 
121.6   169A.25 (first-degree second-degree driving while impaired).  
121.7   The person shall be detained until the person's first court 
121.8   appearance.
