24.3 	the time authorized to be in care in that same day, the absent time will be reimbursed but 
24.4 	the time will not count toward the ten consecutive or 25 cumulative absent day limits. 
24.5 	If a child attends part of an authorized day, payment to the provider must be for the full 
24.6 	amount of care authorized for that day. Child care providers may only be reimbursed for

24.8 	families in care for similar absences. 
24.9 	(b) Child care providers must be reimbursed for up to ten federal or state holidays 
24.10 	or designated holidays per year when the provider charges all families for these days 
24.11 	and the holiday or designated holiday falls on a day when the child is authorized to be 
24.12 	in attendance. Parents may substitute other cultural or religious holidays for the ten 
24.13 	recognized state and federal holidays. Holidays do not count toward the ten consecutive or 
24.14 	25 cumulative absent day limits. 
24.15 	(c) A family or child care provider may not be assessed an overpayment for an 
24.16 	absent day payment unless (1) there was an error in the amount of care authorized for the 
24.17 	family, (2) all of the allowed full-day absent payments for the child have been paid, or (3) 
24.18 	the family or provider did not timely report a change as required under law.
24.19 	(d) The provider and family must receive notification upon initial authorization 
24.20 	for services and ongoing notification of the number of absent days used as of the date 
24.21 	of the notification.

25.19 	of the University of Minnesota with Rochester Community and Technical College, and

25.32 	of each of the partner  higher education institutions in Rochester must be maintained to 
25.33 	achieve success in serving the higher education needs of the community and the economic 
25.34 	goals of the state. Further, the legislature intends that the University of Minnesota and the 
26.1 	other partner institutions avoid duplicative offerings of courses and programs. Therefore,

27.25 	for an abortion, or to whom the notice described in section 144.343, subdivision 2, has

28.3 	(b) Notwithstanding section 13.39, data related to actions taken by the commissioner 
28.4 	to enforce any provision of this section is private data if the data, alone or in combination,

28.7 	(1) an individual who has had an abortion, who has received judicial authorization 
28.8 	for an abortion, or to whom the notice described in section 144.343, subdivision 2, has 
28.9 	been provided; or 
28.10 	(2) a physician or facility required to report under subdivision 3.
28.11 		Subd. 5.Public records. (a) By September 30 of each year, the commissioner of

28.21 	without notification, including:
28.22 	(i) the number of petitions or motions granted by the court because of a finding of 
28.23 	maturity and the basis for that finding; and 
28.24 	(ii) the number of petitions or motions granted because of a finding that the abortion 
28.25 	would be in the best interest of the minor and the basis for that finding;
28.26 	(5) the number of denials from which an appeal was filed;
28.27 	(6) the number of appeals that resulted in a denial being affirmed; and 
28.28 	(7) the number of appeals that resulted in reversal of a denial.
28.29 	(b) The report shall provide the statistics for all previous calendar years for which a 
28.30 	public report was required to be issued, adjusted to reflect any additional information from 
28.31 	late or corrected reports.
28.32 	(c) The commissioner shall ensure that all statistical information included in the 
28.33 	public reports are presented so that the data cannot reasonably lead, using epidemiologic 
28.34 	principles, to the identification of:
29.1 	(1) an individual who has had an abortion, who has received judicial authorization 
29.2 	for an abortion, or to whom the notice described in section 144.343, subdivision 2, has 
29.3 	been provided; or 
29.4 	(2) a physician or facility who has submitted a form to the commissioner under 
29.5 	subdivision 3.
29.6 		Subd. 6.Modification of requirements. The commissioner of health may, by 
29.7 	administrative rule, alter the dates established in subdivisions 3 and 5, consolidate the 
29.8 	forms created according to subdivision 1 with the reporting form created according 
29.9 	to section 145.4131, or consolidate reports to achieve administrative convenience or 
29.10 	fiscal savings, to allow physicians and facilities to submit all information collected by 
29.11 	the commissioner regarding abortions at one time, or to reduce the burden of the data 
29.12 	collection, so long as the report described in subdivision 5 is issued at least once a year.
29.13 		Subd. 7.Suit to compel statistical report. If the commissioner of health fails to 
29.14 	issue the public report required under subdivision 5, any group of ten or more citizens 
29.15 	of the state may seek an injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction against the 
29.16 	commissioner, requiring that a complete report be issued within a period stated by court 
29.17 	order.  Failure to abide by the injunction shall subject the commissioner to sanctions 
29.18 	for civil contempt.
29.19 		Subd. 8.Attorney fees. If judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff in any 
29.20 	action described in this section, the court shall also render judgment for a reasonable 
29.21 	attorney fee in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant.  If the judgment is rendered in 
29.22 	favor of the defendant and the court finds that plaintiff's suit was frivolous and brought 
29.23 	in bad faith, the court shall render judgment for a reasonable attorney fee in favor of 
29.24 	the defendant against the plaintiff.
29.25 		Subd. 9.Severability. If any one or more provision, section, subdivision, 
29.26 	sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this section or the application thereof to any person 
29.27 	or circumstance is found to be unconstitutional, the same is hereby declared to be 
29.28 	severable and the balance of this section shall remain effective notwithstanding such 
29.29 	unconstitutionality.  The legislature intends that it would have passed this section, and each 
29.30 	provision, section, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or word thereof irrespective of 
29.31 	the fact that any one provision, section, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or word be 
29.32 	declared unconstitutional.
29.33 		Subd. 10. Supreme Court jurisdiction.  The Minnesota Supreme Court has original 
29.34 	jurisdiction over an action challenging the constitutionality of this section and shall 
29.35 	expedite the resolution of the action.

30.1 	Sec. 32. [197.585] HIGHER EDUCATION VETERANS ASSISTANCE OFFICES.

30.12 	house and senate committees having purview over veterans affairs policy and finance,
