 10.36  commissioner. 
 11.1      (d) Within five business days of learning that a permit to 
 11.2   carry has been suspended or revoked, the sheriff must submit 
 11.3   information to the commissioner of public safety regarding the 
 11.4   suspension or revocation for inclusion solely in the databases 
 11.5   required or permitted under subdivision 15. 
 11.6      (e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) to (c), the sheriff may 
 11.7   suspend the application process if a charge is pending against 
 11.8   the applicant that, if resulting in conviction, will prohibit

 11.10     Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, 
 11.11  subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
 11.12     Subd. 7.  [PERMIT CARD CONTENTS; EXPIRATION; RENEWAL.] 
 11.13  Permits to carry a pistol issued pursuant to this section shall 
 11.14  expire after one year and shall thereafter be renewed in the 
 11.15  same manner and subject to the same provisions by which the 
 11.16  original permit was obtained, except that all renewed permits 
 11.17  must comply with the standards adopted by the commissioner of 
 11.18  public safety under section 624.7161. (a) Permits to carry must 
 11.19  be on an official, standardized permit card adopted by the 
 11.20  commissioner of public safety, containing only the name, 
 11.21  residence, and driver's license number or state identification 
 11.22  card number of the permit holder, if any. 
 11.23     (b) The permit card must also identify the issuing sheriff 
 11.24  and state the expiration date of the permit.  The permit card 
 11.25  must clearly display a notice that a permit, if granted, is void 
 11.26  and must be immediately returned to the sheriff if the permit 
 11.27  holder becomes prohibited by law from possessing a firearm.  
 11.28     (c) A permit to carry a pistol issued under this section 
 11.29  expires five years after the date of issue.  It may be renewed 
 11.30  in the same manner and under the same criteria which the 
 11.31  original permit was obtained, subject to the following 
 11.32  procedures: 
 11.33     (1) no earlier than 90 days prior to the expiration date on 
 11.34  the permit, the permit holder may renew the permit by submitting 
 11.35  to the appropriate sheriff the application packet described in 
 11.36  subdivision 3 and a renewal processing fee not to exceed the 
 12.1   actual and reasonable direct cost of processing the application 
 12.2   or $75, whichever is less.  Of this amount, $5 must be submitted 
 12.3   to the commissioner of public safety and deposited into the 
 12.4   general fund.  The sheriff must process the renewal application 
 12.5   in accordance with subdivisions 4 and 6; and 
 12.6      (2) a permit holder who submits a renewal application 
 12.7   packet after the expiration date of the permit, but within 30 
 12.8   days after expiration, may renew the permit as provided in 
 12.9   clause (1) by paying an additional late fee of $10. 
 12.10     (d) The renewal permit is effective beginning on the 
 12.11  expiration date of the prior permit to carry. 
 12.12     Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, is 
 12.13  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 12.14     Subd. 7a.  [CHANGE OF ADDRESS; LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF 
 12.15  PERMIT.] (a) Within 30 days after changing permanent address, or 
 12.16  within 30 days of having lost or destroyed the permit card, the 
 12.17  permit holder must notify the issuing sheriff of the change, 
 12.18  loss, or destruction.  Failure to provide notification as 
 12.19  required by this subdivision is a petty misdemeanor.  The fine 
 12.20  for a first offense must not exceed $25.  Notwithstanding 
 12.21  section 609.531, a firearm carried in violation of this 
 12.22  paragraph is not subject to forfeiture. 
 12.23     (b) After notice is given under paragraph (a), a permit 
 12.24  holder may obtain a replacement permit card by paying $10 to the 
 12.25  sheriff.  The request for a replacement permit card must be made 
 12.26  on an official, standardized application adopted for this 
 12.27  purpose under section 624.7151, and, except in the case of an 
 12.28  address change, must include a notarized statement that the 
 12.29  permit card has been lost or destroyed. 
 12.30     Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, 
 12.31  subdivision 8, is amended to read: 
 12.32     Subd. 8.  [PERMIT TO CARRY VOIDED.] (a) The permit to carry 
 12.33  shall be is void and must be revoked at the time that the holder 
 12.34  becomes prohibited by law from possessing a pistol under section 
 12.35  624.713 firearm, in which event the holder shall must return the 
 12.36  permit card to the issuing sheriff within five business days to 
 13.1   the application authority after the holder knows or should know 
 13.2   that the holder is a prohibited person.  If a permit is revoked 
 13.3   under this subdivision, the sheriff must give notice to the 
 13.4   permit holder in writing in the same manner as a denial.  
 13.5   Failure of the holder to return the permit within the five days 
 13.6   is a gross misdemeanor unless the court finds that the 
 13.7   circumstances or the physical or mental condition of the permit 
 13.8   holder prevented the holder from complying with the return 
 13.9   requirement. 
 13.10     (b) When a permit holder is convicted of an offense that 
 13.11  prohibits the permit holder from possessing a firearm, the court 
 13.12  must revoke the permit and, if it is available, take possession 
 13.13  of it and send it to the issuing sheriff. 
 13.14     (c) The sheriff of the county where the application was 
 13.15  submitted, or of the county of the permit holder's current 
 13.16  residence, may file a petition with the district court therein, 
 13.17  for an order revoking a permit to carry on the grounds set forth 
 13.18  in subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause (3).  An order shall be 
 13.19  issued only if the sheriff meets the burden of proof and 
 13.20  criteria set forth in subdivision 12.  If the court denies the 
 13.21  petition, the court must award the permit holder reasonable 
 13.22  costs and expenses, including attorney fees. 
 13.23     (d) A permit revocation must be promptly reported to the 
 13.24  issuing sheriff. 
 13.25     Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, is 
 13.26  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 13.27     Subd. 8a.  [PROSECUTOR'S DUTY.] Whenever a person is 
 13.28  charged with an offense that would, upon conviction, prohibit 
 13.29  the person from possessing a firearm, the prosecuting attorney 
 13.30  must ascertain whether the person is a permit holder under this 
 13.31  section.  If the person is a permit holder, the prosecutor must 
 13.32  notify the issuing sheriff that the person has been charged with 
 13.33  a prohibiting offense.  The prosecutor must also notify the 
 13.34  sheriff of the final disposition of the case. 
 13.35     Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, 
 13.36  subdivision 10, is amended to read: 
 14.1      Subd. 10.  [FALSE REPRESENTATIONS.] A person who gives or 
 14.2   causes to be given any false material information in applying 
 14.3   for a permit to carry, knowing or having reason to know the 
 14.4   information is false, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
 14.5      Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.714, is 
 14.6   amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 14.7      Subd. 11a.  [EMERGENCY ISSUANCE OF PERMITS.] A sheriff may 
 14.8   immediately issue an emergency permit to a person if the sheriff 
 14.9   determines that the person is in an emergency situation that may 
 14.10  constitute an immediate risk to the safety of the person or 
 14.11  someone residing in the person's household.  A person seeking an 
 14.12  emergency permit must complete an application form and must sign 
 14.13  an affidavit describing the emergency situation.  An emergency 
 14.14  permit applicant does not need to provide evidence of training.  
 14.15  An emergency permit is valid for 30 days, may not be renewed, 
 14.16  and may be revoked without a hearing.  No fee may be charged for 
 14.17  an emergency permit.  An emergency permit holder may seek a 
 14.18  regular permit under subdivision 3 and is subject to the other 
 14.19  applicable provisions of this section.

 14.22     Subd. 12.  [HEARING UPON DENIAL OR REVOCATION.] (a) Any 
 14.23  person aggrieved by denial or revocation of a permit to carry 
 14.24  may appeal the denial by petition to the district court having 
 14.25  jurisdiction over the county or municipality wherein the 
 14.26  notification or denial occurred where the application was 
 14.27  submitted.  The petition must list the sheriff as the 
 14.28  respondent.  The district court must hold a hearing at the 
 14.29  earliest practicable date and in any event no later than 60 days 
 14.30  following the filing of the petition for review.  The court may 
 14.31  not grant or deny any relief before the completion of the 
 14.32  hearing.  The record of the hearing must be sealed.  The matter 
 14.33  shall must be heard de novo without a jury. 
 14.34     (b) The court must issue its writ of mandamus directing 
 14.35  that the permit be issued and order other appropriate relief 
 14.36  unless the sheriff establishes by clear and convincing evidence: 
 15.1      (1) that the applicant is disqualified under the criteria 
 15.2   described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); or 
 15.3      (2) that there exists a substantial likelihood that the 
 15.4   applicant is a danger to self or the public if authorized to 
 15.5   carry a pistol under a permit.  Incidents of alleged criminal 
 15.6   misconduct that are not investigated and documented, and 
 15.7   incidents for which the applicant was charged and acquitted, may 
 15.8   not be considered.  
 15.9      (c) If an applicant is denied a permit on the grounds that 
 15.10  the applicant is listed in the criminal gang investigative data 
 15.11  system under section 299C.091, the person may challenge the 
 15.12  denial, after disclosure under court supervision of the reason 
 15.13  for that listing, based on grounds that the person: 
 15.14     (1) was erroneously identified as a person in the data 
 15.15  system; 
 15.16     (2) was improperly included in the data system according to 
 15.17  the criteria outlined in section 299C.091, subdivision 2, 
 15.18  paragraph (b); or 
 15.19     (3) has demonstrably withdrawn from the activities and 
 15.20  associations that led to inclusion in the data system. 
 15.21     (d) If the court grants a petition brought under paragraph 
 15.22  (a), the court must award the applicant or permit holder 
 15.23  reasonable costs and expenses including attorney fees.

 15.28  for a permit or suspend the permit of a permit holder as a 
 15.29  condition of release pursuant to the same criteria as the 
 15.30  surrender of firearms under section 629.715.  A permit 
 15.31  suspension must be promptly reported to the issuing sheriff.  If 
 15.32  the permit holder has an out-of-state permit recognized under 
 15.33  subdivision 16, the court must promptly report the suspension to 
 15.34  the commissioner of public safety for inclusion solely in the

 16.5   under this section to support a permit that is outstanding or 
 16.6   eligible for renewal under subdivision 7, paragraph (b).  
 16.7   Notwithstanding section 138.163, sheriffs must completely purge 
 16.8   all files and databases by March 1 of each year to delete all 
 16.9   information collected under this section concerning all persons 
 16.10  who are no longer current permit holders or currently eligible 
 16.11  to renew their permit. 
 16.12     (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to records or data

 16.23  under this section that is available 24 hours a day, seven days 
 16.24  a week, only to law enforcement agencies, including prosecutors 
 16.25  carrying out their duties under subdivision 8a, to verify the 
 16.26  validity of a permit. 
 16.27     (b) The commissioner of public safety may maintain a 
 16.28  separate automated database of denied applications for permits 
 16.29  to carry and of revoked permits that is available only to 
 16.30  sheriffs performing their duties under this section containing

 16.33  of six years from the date of the denial or revocation. 
 16.34     (c) The commissioner of public safety may contract with one 
 16.35  or more vendors to implement the commissioner's duties under

 17.10  the rights, privileges, and requirements of this section. 
 17.11     (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), no license or permit

 17.35  reasonable request that firearms not be brought into the 
 17.36  establishment may be ordered to leave the premises.  A person

 21.11  supplement these criteria or procedures, or limit the exercise 
 21.12  of a permit to carry.

 21.35  cause, without regard to whether the violation was committed in 
 21.36  the officer's presence. 
 22.1      Subd. 3.  [PRELIMINARY SCREENING TEST.] When an officer

 22.5   breath sample for a preliminary screening test using a device 
 22.6   approved by the commissioner of public safety for this purpose.  
 22.7   The results of the preliminary screening test must be used for 
 22.8   the purpose of deciding whether an arrest should be made under 
 22.9   this section and whether to require the chemical tests 
 22.10  authorized in section 624.7143, but may not be used in any court 
 22.11  action except:  (1) to prove that the test was properly required 
 22.12  of a person under section 624.7143, or (2) in a civil action 
 22.13  arising out of the use of the pistol.  Following the preliminary 
 22.14  screening test, additional tests may be required of the person

 23.19  clothes or person is required, subject to the provisions of this 
 23.20  section, to take or submit to a test of the person's blood,

 23.22  amount of alcohol or a controlled substance.  The test shall be 
 23.23  administered at the direction of an officer authorized to make 
 23.24  arrests under section 624.7142.  Taking or submitting to the 
 23.25  test is mandatory when requested by an officer who has probable

 24.2   refuses to take a test required under subdivision 1, none must 
 24.3   be given but the officer shall report the refusal to the sheriff 
 24.4   and to the authority having responsibility for prosecution of 
 24.5   misdemeanor offenses for the jurisdiction in which the incident 
 24.6   occurred that gave rise to the test demand and refusal.  On 
 24.7   certification by the officer that probable cause existed to 
 24.8   believe the person had been carrying a pistol on or about the 
 24.9   person's clothes or person in a public place while under the 
 24.10  influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, and that the 
 24.11  person refused to submit to testing, a court may impose a civil 
 24.12  penalty of $500 and may revoke the person's authority to carry a 
 24.13  pistol in a public place on or about the person's clothes or 
 24.14  person under the provisions of a permit or otherwise for a

 24.22     (1) Minnesota law requires a person to take a test to 
 24.23  determine if the person is under the influence of alcohol or a 
 24.24  controlled substance; 
 24.25     (2) if the person refuses to take the test, the person is 
 24.26  subject to a civil penalty of $500 and is prohibited for a 
 24.27  period of one year from carrying a pistol in a public place on 
 24.28  or about the person's clothes or person, as provided under 
 24.29  subdivision 2; and 
 24.30     (3) that the person has the right to consult with an 
 24.31  attorney, but that this right is limited to the extent it cannot 
 24.32  unreasonably delay administration of the test or the person will 
 24.33  be deemed to have refused the test. 
 24.34     Subd. 4.  [REQUIREMENT OF BLOOD OR URINE TEST.] 
 24.35  Notwithstanding subdivision 1, if there is probable cause to 
 24.36  believe there is impairment by a controlled substance that is 
 25.1   not subject to testing by a breath test, a blood or urine test 
 25.2   may be required even after a breath test has been administered. 
 25.3      Subd. 5.  [CHEMICAL TESTS.] Chemical tests administered 
 25.4   under this section are governed by section 169A.51 in all
