  7.34  The sentencing guidelines commission, 
  7.35  in consultation with the commissioner 
  7.36  of corrections, shall prepare a report 
  7.37  and make recommendations regarding the 
  7.38  following drug offender sentencing 
  7.39  issues: 
  7.40  (1) the evolution of Minnesota's drug 
  7.41  sentencing laws, the annual proportion 
  7.42  of prisoners incarcerated for drug 
  7.43  crimes in Minnesota state prisons over 
  7.44  the past 20 years, the annual cost of 
  7.45  incarcerating drug offenders in 
  7.46  Minnesota state prisons over the past 
  7.47  20 years, the effectiveness of drug 
  7.48  courts, and current programs that 
  7.49  employ alternatives to incarceration 
  7.50  for drug offenders in Minnesota state 
  7.51  prisons; 
  7.52  (2) the average and the range of 
  7.53  criminal history scores for each level 
  7.54  of drug offender currently incarcerated 
  7.55  in Minnesota state prisons; 
  7.56  (3) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
  7.57  drug sentencing provisions when 
  7.58  compared to sentencing provisions for 
  7.59  other crimes in Minnesota; 
  8.1   (4) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
  8.2   drug sentencing provisions when 
  8.3   compared to other states' drug 
  8.4   sentencing provisions; 
  8.5   (5) the amount of Minnesota's prison 
  8.6   and jail beds occupied by all drug 
  8.7   offenders and all nonviolent drug 
  8.8   offenders; 
  8.9   (6) the type and quantity of Minnesota 
  8.10  correctional resources that are 
  8.11  dedicated to all drug offenders and to 
  8.12  all nonviolent drug offenders; 
  8.13  (7) the projected annual cost to the 
  8.14  department of corrections of 
  8.15  incarcerating all drug offenders and 
  8.16  all nonviolent drug offenders in state 
  8.17  prisons over the next ten years; 
  8.18  (8) the cost-savings to the department 
  8.19  of corrections by not incarcerating 
  8.20  nonviolent drug offenders and sending 
  8.21  them to noncustodial drug treatment 
  8.22  instead; 
  8.23  (9) the recidivism rate for drug 
  8.24  offenders, in Minnesota and other 
  8.25  states, who are sent to noncustodial 
  8.26  drug treatment rather than 
  8.27  incarceration; and 
  8.28  (10) the cost-savings to the department 
  8.29  of corrections of sentencing nonviolent 
  8.30  drug offenders to home detention 
  8.31  employing electronic monitoring at the 
  8.32  offender's expense. 
  8.33  For purposes of this report, nonviolent 
  8.34  drug offenders are those who were 
  8.35  convicted of violating sections 
  8.36  152.023, 152.024, and 152.025, and were

 15.16  provisions of subdivision 1.  To facilitate this review, the 
 15.17  director of the state judicial information system shall notify 
 15.18  the executive secretary of the state board on judicial standards 
 15.19  when a matter exceeds 90 days without a disposition the time 
 15.20  period for disposition established by the chief justice.  The

 15.23  reasons for noncompliance, it may decide not to issue the 
 15.24  notice.  Upon notification that a judge is not in compliance, 
 15.25  the commissioner of finance shall not pay the salary of that 
 15.26  judge.  The board may cancel a notice of noncompliance upon 
 15.27  finding that a judge is in compliance, but in no event shall a 
 15.28  judge be paid a salary for the period in which the notification 
 15.29  of noncompliance was in effect.

 15.33     550.36 [STAY OF EXECUTION ON MONEY JUDGMENT; LIMITATION ON 
 15.34  BOND AMOUNT.] 
 15.35     (a) Subject to the limitation in paragraph (b), execution 
 15.36  of a judgment for the payment of money only shall be stayed for 
 16.1   six months during the course of all appeals or discretionary 
 16.2   appellate reviews of a judgment if, within ten days after the 
 16.3   entry thereof, the judgment debtor shall file with the court 
 16.4   administrator a bond, running to the judgment creditor, the 
 16.5   creditor's personal representatives and assigns, in double the 
 16.6   amount of the judgment, to be approved by the court, and 
 16.7   conditioned for the payment of the judgment, with interest 
 16.8   during the time for which the stay is granted.  Interest shall 
 16.9   be computed in the same manner and at the same rate provided for 
 16.10  interest on verdicts in section 549.09.  Within two days 
 16.11  thereafter notice that such bond has been filed, with a copy of 
 16.12  the same, shall be served on the judgment creditor, if the 
 16.13  creditor be a resident of the county, or upon the creditor's 
 16.14  agent or attorney, if the creditor has one, and the judgment 
 16.15  creditor may except to the sufficiency of the bond; and, upon 
 16.16  the creditor's application upon notice or order to show cause, 
 16.17  the court, if it find the bond insufficient, may order execution 
 16.18  to issue notwithstanding the same, unless the judgment debtor 
 16.19  give such further bond as it shall deem sufficient.  If the 
 16.20  condition of any such bond be not performed, the execution shall 
 16.21  issue for the amount of the judgment, with interest and costs, 
 16.22  against the judgment debtor and the sureties.  When an execution 
 16.23  issues against sureties the officer shall certify in the return

 16.26  made thereon shall be released and the execution shall be 
 16.27  returned and the reason noted by the officer. 
 16.28     (b)(1) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) or any other provision 
 16.29  of law or court rule to the contrary, if a plaintiff in a civil 
 16.30  action obtains a judgment under any legal theory that requires 
 16.31  any defendant to make payments in order to comply with the 
 16.32  judgment, the amount of the appeal bond necessary to stay 
 16.33  execution during the course of all appeals or discretionary

 17.3   proves by a preponderance of the evidence that a judgment debtor 
 17.4   is dissipating assets outside the ordinary course of business to 
 17.5   avoid payment of a judgment, a court may enter orders that: 
 17.6      (i) are necessary to protect the judgment creditor; and 
 17.7      (ii) require the judgment debtor to post a bond that is 
 17.8   equal to the total amount of the judgment.

 17.15  any other law: 
 17.16     (1) when a court sentences a person convicted of a felony 
 17.17  that is not listed in subdivision 2 or 3, it must impose a fine 
 17.18  of not less than 30 percent of the maximum fine authorized by

 17.22  it must impose a fine of not less than 30 percent of the maximum 
 17.23  fine authorized by law nor more than the maximum fine authorized 
 17.24  by law, unless the fine is set at a lower amount on a uniform 
 17.25  fine schedule established by the conference of chief judges in

 18.8      Subdivision 1.  [PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION.] (a) When a 
 18.9   defendant has been convicted of a misdemeanor or, gross 
 18.10  misdemeanor, or felony, the court may, and when the defendant 
 18.11  has been convicted of a felony, the court shall, before sentence 
 18.12  is imposed, cause a presentence investigation and written report 
 18.13  to be made to the court concerning the defendant's individual 
 18.14  characteristics, circumstances, needs, potentialities, criminal 
 18.15  record and social history, the circumstances of the offense and 
 18.16  the harm caused by it to others and to the community.  At the 
 18.17  request of the prosecutor in a gross misdemeanor case, the court 
 18.18  shall order that a presentence investigation and report be 
 18.19  prepared.  The investigation shall be made by a probation 
 18.20  officer of the court, if there is one; otherwise it shall be 
 18.21  made by the commissioner of corrections.  The officer conducting 
 18.22  the presentence or predispositional investigation shall make 
 18.23  reasonable and good faith efforts to contact and provide the 
 18.24  victim with the information required under section 611A.037, 
 18.25  subdivision 2.  Presentence investigations shall be conducted 
 18.26  and summary hearings held upon reports and upon the sentence to 
 18.27  be imposed upon the defendant in accordance with this section, 
 18.28  section 244.10, and the Rules of Criminal Procedure. 
 18.29     (b) When the crime is a violation of sections 609.561 to 
 18.30  609.563, 609.5641, or 609.576 and involves a fire, the report 
 18.31  shall include a description of the financial and physical harm 
 18.32  the offense has had on the public safety personnel who responded 
 18.33  to the fire.  For purposes of this paragraph, "public safety 
 18.34  personnel" means the state fire marshal; employees of the 
 18.35  division of the state fire marshal; firefighters, regardless of 
 18.36  whether the firefighters receive any remuneration for providing 
 19.1   services; peace officers, as defined in section 626.05, 
 19.2   subdivision 2; individuals providing emergency management 
 19.3   services; and individuals providing emergency medical services. 
 19.4      (c) When the crime is a felony violation of chapter 152 
 19.5   involving the sale or distribution of a controlled substance, 
 19.6   the report shall include a description of any adverse social or 
 19.7   economic effects the offense has had on persons who reside in 
 19.8   the neighborhood where the offense was committed. 
 19.9      (d) The report shall also include the information relating 
 19.10  to crime victims required under section 611A.037, subdivision 1. 
 19.11  If the court directs, the report shall include an estimate of 
 19.12  the prospects of the defendant's rehabilitation and 
 19.13  recommendations as to the sentence which should be imposed.  In 
 19.14  misdemeanor cases the report may be oral. 
 19.15     (e) When a defendant has been convicted of a felony, and 
 19.16  before sentencing, the court shall cause a sentencing worksheet 
 19.17  to be completed to facilitate the application of the Minnesota 
 19.18  sentencing guidelines.  The worksheet shall be submitted as part 
 19.19  of the presentence investigation report. 
 19.20     (f) When a person is convicted of a felony for which the 
 19.21  sentencing guidelines presume that the defendant will be 
 19.22  committed to the commissioner of corrections under an executed 
 19.23  sentence and no motion for a sentencing departure has been made 
 19.24  by counsel, the court may, when there is no space available in 
 19.25  the local correctional facility, commit the defendant to the 
 19.26  custody of the commissioner of corrections, pending completion 
 19.27  of the presentence investigation and report.  When a defendant 
 19.28  is convicted of a felony for which the sentencing guidelines do 
 19.29  not presume that the defendant will be committed to the 
 19.30  commissioner of corrections, or for which the sentencing 
 19.31  guidelines presume commitment to the commissioner but counsel 
 19.32  has moved for a sentencing departure, the court may commit the 
 19.33  defendant to the commissioner with the consent of the 
 19.34  commissioner, pending completion of the presentence 
 19.35  investigation and report.  The county of commitment shall return 
 19.36  the defendant to the court when the court so orders.

 20.11  natural person to pay a fixed and certain amount of money, which 
 20.12  equals or exceeds $25 and which is due and payable to a claimant

 20.17  under a contractual or statutory obligation, a court order, or 
 20.18  other legal obligation, but need not have been reduced to 
 20.19  judgment.  
 20.20     A debt includes any legal obligation of a current recipient 
 20.21  of assistance which is based on overpayment of an assistance 
 20.22  grant where that payment is based on a client waiver or an 
 20.23  administrative or judicial finding of an intentional program

 20.32  rendered does not exceed the following amount: 
 20.33     (1) for an unmarried debtor, an income of $8,800 or less; 
 20.34     (2) for a debtor with one dependent, an income of $11,270

 23.22  requests under paragraph (b) for representation by the district 
 23.23  public defender.  A defendant is financially unable to obtain 
 23.24  counsel if: 
 23.25     (1) the defendant, or any dependent of the defendant who 
 23.26  resides in the same household as the defendant, receives 
 23.27  means-tested governmental benefits; or 
 23.28     (2) the defendant, through any combination of liquid assets 
 23.29  and current income, would be unable to pay the reasonable costs 
 23.30  charged by private counsel in that judicial district for a 
 23.31  defense of the same matter. 
 23.32     (b) Upon a request for the appointment of counsel, the 
 23.33  court shall make appropriate inquiry into the financial 
 23.34  circumstances of the applicant, who shall submit a financial 
 23.35  statement under oath or affirmation setting forth the 
 23.36  applicant's assets and liabilities, including the value of any 
 24.1   real property owned by the applicant, whether homestead or 
 24.2   otherwise, less the amount of any encumbrances on the real 
 24.3   property, the source or sources of income, and any other 
 24.4   information required by the court.  The applicant shall be under 
 24.5   a continuing duty while represented by a public defender to 
 24.6   disclose any changes in the applicant's financial circumstances 
 24.7   that might be relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a 
 24.8   public defender.  The state public defender shall furnish 
 24.9   appropriate forms for the financial statements.  The forms must 
 24.10  contain conspicuous notice of the applicant's continuing duty to 
 24.11  disclose to the court changes in the applicant's financial 
 24.12  circumstances.  The forms must also contain conspicuous notice 
 24.13  of the applicant's obligation to make a co-payment for the 
 24.14  services of the district public defender, as specified under 
 24.15  paragraph (c).  The information contained in the statement shall 
 24.16  be confidential and for the exclusive use of the court and the 
 24.17  public defender appointed by the court to represent the 
 24.18  applicant except for any prosecution under section 609.48.  A 
 24.19  refusal to execute the financial statement or produce financial 
 24.20  records constitutes a waiver of the right to the appointment of 
 24.21  a public defender.  The court shall not appoint a district 
 24.22  public defender to a defendant who is financially able to retain 
 24.23  private counsel but refuses to do so. 
 24.24     An inquiry to determine financial eligibility of a 
 24.25  defendant for the appointment of the district public defender

 24.27  and by such persons as the court may direct.  This inquiry may 
 24.28  be combined with the pre-release investigation provided for in 
 24.29  Minnesota Rule of Criminal Procedure 6.02, subdivision 3.  In no 
 24.30  case shall the district public defender be required to perform 
 24.31  this inquiry or investigate the defendant's assets or 
 24.32  eligibility.  The court has the sole duty to conduct a financial 
 24.33  inquiry.  The inquiry must include the following: 
 24.34     (1) the liquidity of real estate assets, including the 
 24.35  defendant's homestead; 
 24.36     (2) any assets that can be readily converted to cash or 
 25.1   used to secure a debt;

 53.11     (2) that participation in the sanctions conference is in 
 53.12  lieu of a court hearing under Minnesota Statutes, section

 54.3      (6) that various types of probation violation sanctions may 
 54.4   be imposed and that the probation violation sanctions imposed on

 72.17  issue a temporary restraining order ordering the respondent to 
 72.18  cease or avoid the harassment of another person or to have no 
 72.19  contact with that person if the petitioner files a petition in 
 72.20  compliance with subdivision 3 and if the court finds reasonable 
 72.21  grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in 
 72.22  harassment.  When a petition alleges harassment as defined by 
 72.23  subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1), the petition must 
 72.24  further allege an immediate and present danger of harassment 
 72.25  before the court may issue a temporary restraining order under

 72.27     (b) Notice need not be given to the respondent before the 
 72.28  court issues a temporary restraining order under this 
 72.29  subdivision.  A copy of the restraining order must be served on 
 72.30  the respondent along with the order for hearing and petition, as

 72.33  notice of the pendency of the case and the time and place of the 
 72.34  hearing, shall also be served by mail at the last known address 
 72.35  upon any parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is 
 72.36  not the petitioner.  A temporary restraining order may be 
 73.1   entered only against the respondent named in the petition.  
 73.2      (c) The temporary restraining order is in effect until a 
 73.3   hearing is held on the issuance of a restraining order under 
 73.4   subdivision 5.  The court shall hold the hearing on the issuance 
 73.5   of a restraining order within 14 days after the temporary 
 73.6   restraining order is issued unless (1) the time period is 
 73.7   extended upon written consent of the parties; or (2) the time 
 73.8   period is extended if the petitioner requests a hearing.  The 
 73.9   hearing may be continued by the court for one additional 14-day 
 73.10  period upon a showing that the respondent has not been served 
 73.11  with a copy of the temporary restraining order despite the 
 73.12  exercise of due diligence or if service is made by published 
 73.13  notice under subdivision 3 and the petitioner files the 
 73.14  affidavit required under that subdivision. 
 73.15     (d) If the temporary restraining order has been issued and 
 73.16  the respondent requests a hearing, the hearing shall be

 79.35  while impaired) to an executed sentence of incarceration in a 
 79.36  local correctional facility, to be served in equal segments in 
 80.1   three or more consecutive years.  Before reporting for any 
 80.2   subsequent segment of incarceration after the first segment, the 
 80.3   offender shall be regularly involved in a structured sobriety 
 80.4   group and may bring a motion before the court requesting to have 
 80.5   that segment of incarceration stayed.  The motion must be

 80.7   sentence.  Before bringing the motion, the offender shall 
 80.8   participate for 30 days in a remote electronic 
 80.9   alcohol-monitoring program under the direction of the person's 
 80.10  probation agent.  It is within the court's discretion to stay 
 80.11  the second or subsequent segment of remote electronic alcohol 
 80.12  monitoring or incarceration that has previously been ordered. 
 80.13  The court shall consider any alcohol-monitoring results and the 
 80.14  recommendation of the probation agent, together with any other 
 80.15  factors deemed relevant by the court, in deciding whether to 
 80.16  modify the sentence by ordering a stay of the next following 
 80.17  segment of remote electronic alcohol monitoring or incarceration 
 80.18  that the court had initially ordered to be executed.  
 80.19     (c) When the court stays a segment of incarceration that it 
 80.20  has previously ordered to be executed, that portion of the 
 80.21  sentence must be added to the total number of days the defendant 
 80.22  is subject to serving in custody if the person subsequently 
 80.23  violates any of the conditions of that stay of execution.
