  7.20  The sentencing guidelines commission, 
  7.21  in consultation with the commissioner 
  7.22  of corrections, shall prepare a report 
  7.23  and make recommendations regarding the 
  7.24  following drug offender sentencing 
  7.25  issues: 
  7.26  (1) the evolution of Minnesota's drug 
  7.27  sentencing laws, the annual proportion 
  7.28  of prisoners incarcerated for drug 
  7.29  crimes in Minnesota state prisons over 
  7.30  the past 20 years, the annual cost of 
  7.31  incarcerating drug offenders in 
  7.32  Minnesota state prisons over the past 
  7.33  20 years, the effectiveness of drug 
  7.34  courts, and current programs that 
  7.35  employ alternatives to incarceration 
  7.36  for drug offenders in Minnesota state 
  7.37  prisons; 
  7.38  (2) the average and the range of 
  7.39  criminal history scores for each level 
  7.40  of drug offender currently incarcerated 
  7.41  in Minnesota state prisons; 
  7.42  (3) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
  7.43  drug sentencing provisions when 
  7.44  compared to sentencing provisions for 
  7.45  other crimes in Minnesota; 
  7.46  (4) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
  7.47  drug sentencing provisions when 
  7.48  compared to other states' drug 
  7.49  sentencing provisions; 
  7.50  (5) the amount of Minnesota's prison 
  7.51  and jail beds occupied by all drug 
  7.52  offenders and all nonviolent drug 
  7.53  offenders; 
  7.54  (6) the type and quantity of Minnesota 
  7.55  correctional resources that are 
  7.56  dedicated to all drug offenders and to 
  7.57  all nonviolent drug offenders; 
  8.1   (7) the projected annual cost to the 
  8.2   department of corrections of 
  8.3   incarcerating all drug offenders and 
  8.4   all nonviolent drug offenders in state 
  8.5   prisons over the next ten years; 
  8.6   (8) the cost-savings to the department 
  8.7   of corrections by not incarcerating 
  8.8   nonviolent drug offenders and sending 
  8.9   them to noncustodial drug treatment 
  8.10  instead; 
  8.11  (9) the recidivism rate for drug 
  8.12  offenders, in Minnesota and other 
  8.13  states, who are sent to noncustodial 
  8.14  drug treatment rather than 
  8.15  incarceration; and 
  8.16  (10) the cost-savings to the department 
  8.17  of corrections of sentencing nonviolent 
  8.18  drug offenders to home detention 
  8.19  employing electronic monitoring at the 
  8.20  offender's expense. 
  8.21  For purposes of this report, nonviolent 
  8.22  drug offenders are those who were 
  8.23  convicted of violating sections 
  8.24  152.023, 152.024, and 152.025, and were 
  8.25  not also convicted of a violent crime, 
  8.26  as that term is defined in section

 15.7   to be made to the court concerning the defendant's individual 
 15.8   characteristics, circumstances, needs, potentialities, criminal 
 15.9   record and social history, the circumstances of the offense and 
 15.10  the harm caused by it to others and to the community.  At the 
 15.11  request of the prosecutor in a gross misdemeanor case, the court 
 15.12  shall order that a presentence investigation and report be 
 15.13  prepared.  The investigation shall be made by a probation 
 15.14  officer of the court, if there is one; otherwise it shall be 
 15.15  made by the commissioner of corrections.  The officer conducting 
 15.16  the presentence or predispositional investigation shall make 
 15.17  reasonable and good faith efforts to contact and provide the 
 15.18  victim with the information required under section 611A.037, 
 15.19  subdivision 2.  Presentence investigations shall be conducted 
 15.20  and summary hearings held upon reports and upon the sentence to 
 15.21  be imposed upon the defendant in accordance with this section, 
 15.22  section 244.10, and the Rules of Criminal Procedure. 
 15.23     (b) When the crime is a violation of sections 609.561 to 
 15.24  609.563, 609.5641, or 609.576 and involves a fire, the report 
 15.25  shall include a description of the financial and physical harm 
 15.26  the offense has had on the public safety personnel who responded 
 15.27  to the fire.  For purposes of this paragraph, "public safety 
 15.28  personnel" means the state fire marshal; employees of the 
 15.29  division of the state fire marshal; firefighters, regardless of 
 15.30  whether the firefighters receive any remuneration for providing 
 15.31  services; peace officers, as defined in section 626.05, 
 15.32  subdivision 2; individuals providing emergency management 
 15.33  services; and individuals providing emergency medical services. 
 15.34     (c) When the crime is a felony violation of chapter 152 
 15.35  involving the sale or distribution of a controlled substance, 
 15.36  the report shall include a description of any adverse social or 
 16.1   economic effects the offense has had on persons who reside in 
 16.2   the neighborhood where the offense was committed. 
 16.3      (d) The report shall also include the information relating 
 16.4   to crime victims required under section 611A.037, subdivision 1. 
 16.5   If the court directs, the report shall include an estimate of 
 16.6   the prospects of the defendant's rehabilitation and 
 16.7   recommendations as to the sentence which should be imposed.  In 
 16.8   misdemeanor cases the report may be oral. 
 16.9      (e) When a defendant has been convicted of a felony, and 
 16.10  before sentencing, the court shall cause a sentencing worksheet 
 16.11  to be completed to facilitate the application of the Minnesota 
 16.12  sentencing guidelines.  The worksheet shall be submitted as part 
 16.13  of the presentence investigation report. 
 16.14     (f) When a person is convicted of a felony for which the 
 16.15  sentencing guidelines presume that the defendant will be 
 16.16  committed to the commissioner of corrections under an executed 
 16.17  sentence and no motion for a sentencing departure has been made 
 16.18  by counsel, the court may, when there is no space available in 
 16.19  the local correctional facility, commit the defendant to the 
 16.20  custody of the commissioner of corrections, pending completion 
 16.21  of the presentence investigation and report.  When a defendant 
 16.22  is convicted of a felony for which the sentencing guidelines do 
 16.23  not presume that the defendant will be committed to the 
 16.24  commissioner of corrections, or for which the sentencing 
 16.25  guidelines presume commitment to the commissioner but counsel 
 16.26  has moved for a sentencing departure, the court may commit the 
 16.27  defendant to the commissioner with the consent of the 
 16.28  commissioner, pending completion of the presentence 
 16.29  investigation and report.  The county of commitment shall return 
 16.30  the defendant to the court when the court so orders.

 17.15  imposed under section 611.17, paragraph (c).  A debt may arise 
 17.16  under a contractual or statutory obligation, a court order, or 
 17.17  other legal obligation, but need not have been reduced to

 17.19     A debt includes any legal obligation of a current recipient 
 17.20  of assistance which is based on overpayment of an assistance 
 17.21  grant where that payment is based on a client waiver or an 
 17.22  administrative or judicial finding of an intentional program 
 17.23  violation; or where the debt is owed to a program wherein the 
 17.24  debtor is not a client at the time notification is provided to 
 17.25  initiate recovery under this chapter and the debtor is not a 
 17.26  current recipient of food stamps, transitional child care, or 
 17.27  transitional medical assistance. 
 17.28     A debt does not include any legal obligation to pay a 
 17.29  claimant agency for medical care, including hospitalization if 
 17.30  the income of the debtor at the time when the medical care was 
 17.31  rendered does not exceed the following amount: 
 17.32     (1) for an unmarried debtor, an income of $8,800 or less; 
 17.33     (2) for a debtor with one dependent, an income of $11,270

 18.8   for inflation for debts incurred in calendar years 2001 and 
 18.9   thereafter.  The dollar amount of each income level that applied 
 18.10  to debts incurred in the prior year shall be increased in the

 19.33  ELIGIBILITY.] (a) Each judicial district must screen 
 19.34  requests under paragraph (b) for representation by the district 
 19.35  public defender.  A defendant is financially unable to obtain 
 19.36  counsel if: 
 20.1      (1) the defendant, or any dependent of the defendant who 
 20.2   resides in the same household as the defendant, receives 
 20.3   means-tested governmental benefits; or 
 20.4      (2) the defendant, through any combination of liquid assets

 20.6   charged by private counsel in that judicial district for a 
 20.7   defense of the same matter. 
 20.8      (b) Upon a request for the appointment of counsel, the 
 20.9   court shall make appropriate inquiry into the financial 
 20.10  circumstances of the applicant, who shall submit a financial 
 20.11  statement under oath or affirmation setting forth the 
 20.12  applicant's assets and liabilities, including the value of any 
 20.13  real property owned by the applicant, whether homestead or 
 20.14  otherwise, less the amount of any encumbrances on the real 
 20.15  property, the source or sources of income, and any other 
 20.16  information required by the court.  The applicant shall be under 
 20.17  a continuing duty while represented by a public defender to 
 20.18  disclose any changes in the applicant's financial circumstances 
 20.19  that might be relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a 
 20.20  public defender.  The state public defender shall furnish 
 20.21  appropriate forms for the financial statements.  The forms must 
 20.22  contain conspicuous notice of the applicant's continuing duty to 
 20.23  disclose to the court changes in the applicant's financial 
 20.24  circumstances.  The forms must also contain conspicuous notice 
 20.25  of the applicant's obligation to make a co-payment for the 
 20.26  services of the district public defender, as specified under 
 20.27  paragraph (c).  The information contained in the statement shall 
 20.28  be confidential and for the exclusive use of the court and the 
 20.29  public defender appointed by the court to represent the 
 20.30  applicant except for any prosecution under section 609.48.  A 
 20.31  refusal to execute the financial statement or produce financial 
 20.32  records constitutes a waiver of the right to the appointment of 
 20.33  a public defender.  The court shall not appoint a district 
 20.34  public defender to a defendant who is financially able to retain 
 20.35  private counsel but refuses to do so.

 21.1   defendant for the appointment of the district public defender 
 21.2   shall be made whenever possible prior to the court appearance 
 21.3   and by such persons as the court may direct.  This inquiry may 
 21.4   be combined with the pre-release investigation provided for in 
 21.5   Minnesota Rule of Criminal Procedure 6.02, subdivision 3.  In no 
 21.6   case shall the district public defender be required to perform 
 21.7   this inquiry or investigate the defendant's assets or 
 21.8   eligibility.  The court has the sole duty to conduct a financial 
 21.9   inquiry.  The inquiry must include the following: 
 21.10     (1) the liquidity of real estate assets, including the 
 21.11  defendant's homestead; 
 21.12     (2) any assets that can be readily converted to cash or 
 21.13  used to secure a debt; 
 21.14     (3) the determination of whether the transfer of an asset 
 21.15  is voidable as a fraudulent conveyance; and 
 21.16     (4) the value of all property transfers occurring on or 
 21.17  after the date of the alleged offense.  The burden is on the 
 21.18  accused to show that he or she is financially unable to afford 
 21.19  counsel.  Defendants who fail to provide information necessary 
 21.20  to determine eligibility shall be deemed ineligible.  The court 
 21.21  must not appoint the district public defender as advisory 
 21.22  counsel. 
 21.23     (c) Upon disposition of the case appointment of the public 
 21.24  defender, an individual who has received receives public 
 21.25  defender services shall be obligated to pay to the court a $28 
 21.26  co-payment for representation provided by a public defender, 
 21.27  unless the co-payment is, or has been, waived by the court.  The 
 21.28  co-payment shall be according to the following schedule: 
 21.29     (1) if the person was charged with a felony, $200; 
 21.30     (2) if the person was charged with a gross misdemeanor, 
 21.31  $100; or 
 21.32     (3) if the person was charged with a misdemeanor, $50. 
 21.33     If the person is a child and was appointed counsel under 
 21.34  the provisions of section 260B.163, subdivision 4, the parents 
 21.35  of the child shall pay to the court a co-payment of $100.  If 
 21.36  the person is a parent of a child and the parent was appointed 
 22.1   counsel under the provisions of section 260C.163, subdivision 3, 
 22.2   the parent shall pay to the court a co-payment of $200. 
 22.3      The co-payment shall be deposited in the state general 
 22.4   fund.  If a term of probation is imposed as a part of an 
 22.5   offender's sentence, the co-payment required by this section 
 22.6   must not be made a condition of probation.  The co-payment 
 22.7   required by this section is a civil obligation and must not be 
 22.8   made a condition of a criminal sentence.  Collection of the 
 22.9   co-payment may be made through the provisions of chapter 270A, 
 22.10  the Revenue Recapture Act.

 49.21     (2) that participation in the sanctions conference is in 
 49.22  lieu of a court hearing under Minnesota Statutes, section 
 49.23  609.14, and that, if the offender elects to participate in the

 50.12  sanction; 
 50.13     (6) that various types of probation violation sanctions may 
 50.14  be imposed and that the probation violation sanctions imposed on 
 50.15  the offender will depend on the nature of the technical 
 50.16  violation, the offender's criminal history, and the offender's

 50.21  completion of all probation violation sanctions imposed by the

 57.13  abused or neglected, the court may waive the appointment of a 
 57.14  guardian ad litem pursuant to clause (a), whenever counsel has 
 57.15  been appointed pursuant to subdivision 2 or is retained 
 57.16  otherwise, and the court is satisfied that the interests of the

 65.32  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 65.33     Subd. 3.  [CONTENTS OF PETITION; HEARING; NOTICE.] (a) A 
 65.34  petition for relief must allege facts sufficient to show the 
 65.35  following:  
 65.36     (1) the name of the alleged harassment victim; 
 66.1      (2) the name of the respondent; and 
 66.2      (3) that the respondent has engaged in harassment. 
 66.3   The petition shall be accompanied by an affidavit made under 
 66.4   oath stating the specific facts and circumstances from which 
 66.5   relief is sought.  The court shall provide simplified forms and 
 66.6   clerical assistance to help with the writing and filing of a 
 66.7   petition under this section and shall advise the petitioner of 
 66.8   the right to sue in forma pauperis under section 563.01.  The 
 66.9   court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request a 
 66.10  hearing.  If the petitioner does not request a hearing, the 
 66.11  court shall advise the petitioner that the respondent may 
 66.12  request a hearing and that notice of the hearing date and time 
 66.13  will be provided to the petitioner by mail at least five days 
 66.14  before the hearing.  Upon receipt of the petition and a request 
 66.15  for a hearing by the petitioner, the court shall order a 
 66.16  hearing, which must be held not later than 14 days from the date 
 66.17  of the order.  Personal service must be made upon the respondent 
 66.18  not less than five days before the hearing.  If personal service 
 66.19  cannot be completed in time to give the respondent the minimum 
 66.20  notice required under this paragraph, the court may set a new 
 66.21  hearing date.  Nothing in this section shall be construed as 
 66.22  requiring a hearing on a matter that has no merit.  
 66.23     (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the order for a hearing 
 66.24  and a temporary order issued under subdivision 4 may be served 
 66.25  on the respondent by means of a one-week published notice under 
 66.26  section 645.11, if: 
 66.27     (1) the petitioner files an affidavit with the court 
 66.28  stating that an attempt at personal service made by a sheriff 
 66.29  was unsuccessful because the respondent is avoiding service by 
 66.30  concealment or otherwise; and 
 66.31     (2) a copy of the petition and order for hearing and any 
 66.32  temporary restraining order has been mailed to the respondent at 
 66.33  the respondent's residence or place of business, if the 
 66.34  respondent is an organization, or the respondent's residence or 
 66.35  place of business is not known to the petitioner. 
 66.36     (c) Regardless of the method of service, if the respondent 
 67.1   is a juvenile, whenever possible, the court also shall have 
 67.2   notice of the pendency of the case and of the time and place of 
 67.3   the hearing served by mail at the last known address upon any

 67.9   subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 67.10     Subd. 4.  [TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.] (a) The court may 
 67.11  issue a temporary restraining order ordering the respondent to 
 67.12  cease or avoid the harassment of another person or to have no 
 67.13  contact with that person if the petitioner files a petition in 
 67.14  compliance with subdivision 3 and if the court finds reasonable 
 67.15  grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in 
 67.16  harassment.  When a petition alleges harassment as defined by 
 67.17  subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1), the petition must 
 67.18  further allege an immediate and present danger of harassment 
 67.19  before the court may issue a temporary restraining order under 
 67.20  this section.  
 67.21     (b) Notice need not be given to the respondent before the 
 67.22  court issues a temporary restraining order under this 
 67.23  subdivision.  A copy of the restraining order must be served on 
 67.24  the respondent along with the order for hearing and petition, as 
 67.25  provided in subdivision 3.  If the respondent is a juvenile, 
 67.26  whenever possible, a copy of the restraining order, along with 
 67.27  notice of the pendency of the case and the time and place of the 
 67.28  hearing, shall also be served by mail at the last known address 
 67.29  upon any parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is 
 67.30  not the petitioner.  A temporary restraining order may be 
 67.31  entered only against the respondent named in the petition.  
 67.32     (c) The temporary restraining order is in effect until a 
 67.33  hearing is held on the issuance of a restraining order under 
 67.34  subdivision 5.  The court shall hold the hearing on the issuance 
 67.35  of a restraining order within 14 days after the temporary 
 67.36  restraining order is issued unless (1) the time period is 
 68.1   extended upon written consent of the parties; or (2) the time 
 68.2   period is extended if the petitioner requests a hearing.  The 
 68.3   hearing may be continued by the court for one additional 14-day 
 68.4   period upon a showing that the respondent has not been served 
 68.5   with a copy of the temporary restraining order despite the 
 68.6   exercise of due diligence or if service is made by published 
 68.7   notice under subdivision 3 and the petitioner files the 
 68.8   affidavit required under that subdivision. 
 68.9      (d) If the temporary restraining order has been issued and 
 68.10  the respondent requests a hearing, the hearing shall be 
 68.11  scheduled by the court upon receipt of the respondent's 
 68.12  request.  Service of the notice of hearing must be made upon the 
 68.13  petitioner not less than five days prior to the hearing.  The 
 68.14  court shall serve the notice of the hearing upon the petitioner 
 68.15  by mail in the manner provided in the rules of civil procedure 
 68.16  for pleadings subsequent to a complaint and motions and shall 
 68.17  also mail notice of the date and time of the hearing to the 
 68.18  respondent.  In the event that service cannot be completed in 
 68.19  time to give the respondent or petitioner the minimum notice 
 68.20  required under this subdivision, the court may set a new hearing 
 68.21  date.

 68.26     Subd. 5.  [RESTRAINING ORDER.] (a) The court may grant a 
 68.27  restraining order ordering the respondent to cease or avoid the 
 68.28  harassment of another person or to have no contact with that 
 68.29  person if all of the following occur:  
 68.30     (1) the petitioner has filed a petition under subdivision 
 68.31  3; 
 68.32     (2) the sheriff has served respondent with a copy of the 
 68.33  temporary restraining order obtained under subdivision 4, and 
 68.34  with notice of the time and place of the right to request a 
 68.35  hearing, or service has been made by publication under 
 68.36  subdivision 3, paragraph (b); and 
 69.1      (3) the court finds at the hearing that there are 
 69.2   reasonable grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in 
 69.3   harassment.  
 69.4   A restraining order may be issued only against the respondent 
 69.5   named in the petition; except that if the respondent is an 
 69.6   organization, the order may be issued against and apply to all 
 69.7   of the members of the organization.  Relief granted by the 
 69.8   restraining order must be for a fixed period of not more than 
 69.9   two years.  When a referee presides at the hearing on the 
 69.10  petition, the restraining order becomes effective upon the 
 69.11  referee's signature.

 71.15  driving statutes, now codified in Minnesota Statutes 2002,

 71.17  continue the policy of accountability for previous convictions 
 71.18  of impaired driving-related offenses and previous impaired 
 71.19  driving-related driver's license actions.  Specifically, it was 
 71.20  the intention of the legislature to count as aggravating factors 
 71.21  all qualified prior impaired driving incidents occurring within 
 71.22  the past ten years of an incident for purposes of any criminal 
 71.23  or civil sanctions under Minnesota Statutes 2002, chapter 169A,

 74.24     Subd. 6.  [DEFINITIONS.] (a) For purposes of this section, 
 74.25  the following terms have the meanings given. 
 74.26     (b) "Staggered sentencing" means a sentencing procedure in 
 74.27  which the court sentences a person convicted of a gross 
 74.28  misdemeanor or felony violation of section 169A.20 (driving 
 74.29  while impaired) to an executed sentence of incarceration in a 
 74.30  local correctional facility, to be served in equal segments in 
 74.31  three or more consecutive years.  Before reporting for any 
 74.32  subsequent segment of incarceration after the first segment, the 
 74.33  offender shall be regularly involved in a structured sobriety 
 74.34  group and may bring a motion before the court requesting to have 
 74.35  that segment of incarceration stayed.  The motion must be 
 74.36  brought before the same judge who initially pronounced the 
 75.1   sentence.  Before bringing the motion, the offender shall 
 75.2   participate for 30 days in a remote electronic 
 75.3   alcohol-monitoring program under the direction of the person's 
 75.4   probation agent.  It is within the court's discretion to stay 
 75.5   the second or subsequent segment of remote electronic alcohol 
 75.6   monitoring or incarceration that has previously been ordered. 
 75.7   The court shall consider any alcohol-monitoring results and the 
 75.8   recommendation of the probation agent, together with any other 
 75.9   factors deemed relevant by the court, in deciding whether to 
 75.10  modify the sentence by ordering a stay of the next following 
 75.11  segment of remote electronic alcohol monitoring or incarceration 
 75.12  that the court had initially ordered to be executed.  
 75.13     (c) When the court stays a segment of incarceration that it 
 75.14  has previously ordered to be executed, that portion of the 
 75.15  sentence must be added to the total number of days the defendant 
 75.16  is subject to serving in custody if the person subsequently 
 75.17  violates any of the conditions of that stay of execution. 
 75.18     (d) A structured sobriety group is an organization that has 
 75.19  regular meetings focusing on sobriety and includes, but is not 
 75.20  limited to, Alcoholics Anonymous.
