1.4 	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.5 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 299C.095, subdivision 2, is amended to 
1.6 	read:
1.7 		Subd. 2.Retention. (a) Notwithstanding section 138.17, the bureau shall retain 
1.8 	juvenile history records for the time periods provided in this subdivision. Notwithstanding 
1.9 	contrary provisions of paragraphs (b) to (e), all data in a juvenile history record must 
1.10 	be retained for the longest time period applicable to any item in the individual juvenile 
1.11 	history record. If, before data are destroyed under this subdivision, the subject of the 
1.12 	data is convicted of a felony as an adult, the individual's juvenile history record must be 
1.13 	retained for the same time period as an adult criminal history record. 
1.14 	(b) Juvenile history data on a child who was arrested must be destroyed six months
1.15 	one year after the arrest if the child has not been referred to a diversion program and no 
1.16 	petition has been filed against the child by that time.
1.17 	(c) Juvenile history data on a child against whom a delinquency petition was filed 
1.18 	and subsequently dismissed must be destroyed upon receiving notice from the court that 
1.19 	the petition was dismissed.
1.20 	(d) Juvenile history data on a child who was referred to a diversion program or 
1.21 	against whom a delinquency petition has been filed and continued for dismissal must be 
1.22 	destroyed when the child reaches age 21.
1.23 	(e) Juvenile history data on a child against whom a delinquency petition was filed 
1.24 	and continued without adjudication, or a child who was found to have committed a felony 
2.1 	or gross misdemeanor-level offense, must be destroyed when the child reaches age 28. If 
2.2 	the offender commits a felony violation as an adult, the bureau shall retain the data for as 
2.3 	long as the data would have been retained if the offender had been an adult at the time 
2.4 	of the juvenile offense.
2.5 	(f) The bureau shall retain extended jurisdiction juvenile data on an individual 
2.6 	received under section 260B.171, subdivision 2, paragraph (c), for as long as the data 
2.7 	would have been retained if the offender had been an adult at the time of the offense. 
2.8 	(g) Data retained on individuals under this subdivision are private data under section 
2.9 	13.02, except that extended jurisdiction juvenile data become public data under section 
2.10 	13.87, subdivision 2, when the juvenile court notifies the bureau that the individual's adult 
2.11 	sentence has been executed under section 260B.130, subdivision 5. 
2.12 	(h) A person who receives data on a juvenile under paragraphs (b) to (e) from the 
2.13 	bureau shall destroy the data according to the schedule in this subdivision, unless the 
2.14 	person has access to the data under other law. The bureau shall include a notice of the 
2.15 	destruction schedule with all data it disseminates on juveniles.
