30.27 		Subd. 6.Course approval. (a) Courses must be approved by the commissioner in 
30.28 	advance. A course that is required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to receive 
30.29 	a substantive review will be approved or disapproved on the basis of its compliance with 
30.30 	the provisions of laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. At the commissioner's 
30.31 	discretion, a course that is not required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to 
30.32 	receive a substantive review may be approved based on a qualified provider's certification 
30.33 	on a form specified by the commissioner that the course complies with the provisions of 
31.1 	this chapter and the laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. For the purposes 
31.2 	of this section, a "qualified provider" is one of the following: (1) a degree-granting 
31.3 	institution of higher learning located within this state; (2) a private school licensed by the 
31.4 	Minnesota Office of Higher Education; or (3) when conducting courses for its members, a 
31.5 	bona fide trade association that staffs and maintains in this state a physical location that 
31.6 	contains course and student records and that has done so for not less than three years. 
31.7 	The commissioner may review any approved course and may cancel its approval with 
31.8 	regard to all future offerings. The commissioner must make the final determination as to 
31.9 	accreditation and assignment of credit hours for courses. Courses must be at least one hour 
31.10 	in length, except courses for real estate appraisers must be at least two hours in length.
31.11 	Individuals wishing to receive credit for continuing education courses that have not 
31.12 	been previously approved may submit the course information for approval. Courses 
31.13 	must be in compliance with the laws and rules governing the types of courses that will 
31.14 	and will not be approved.
31.15 	Approval will not include time spent on meals or other unrelated activities.
31.16 	(b) Courses must be submitted at least 30 days before the initial proposed course 
31.17 	offering.
31.18 	(c) Approval must be granted for a subsequent offering of identical continuing 
31.19 	education courses without requiring a new application. The commissioner must deny 
31.20 	future offerings of courses if they are found not to be in compliance with the laws relating 
31.21 	to course approval.
31.22 	(d) When either the content of an approved course or its method of instruction 
31.23 	changes, the course is no longer approved for license education credit. A new application 
31.24 	must be submitted for the changed course if the education provider intends to offer it for 
31.25 	license education credit.

37.21 	establishing membership in the cooperative, or when the securities are issued as patronage 
37.22 	dividends. This paragraph applies to a cooperative organized under chapter 308A, or under 
37.23 	the laws of another state, only if the cooperative has filed with the administrator a consent 
37.24 	to service of process under section 80A.88 and has, not less than ten days before the

37.36 	conditions and limitations found in rule 502(b) of Regulation D promulgated by the

38.4 	reliance upon this exemption, the cooperative has filed with the administrator a consent to 
38.5 	service of process under section 80A.88 (or has previously filed such a consent), and has 
38.6 	furnished the administrator with a written general description of the transaction and any 
38.7 	other information that the administrator requires by rule or otherwise; and 
38.8 	(C) a cooperative may, at or about the same time as offers or sales are being 
38.9 	completed in reliance upon the exemptions from registration found in this subpart and as 
38.10 	part of a common plan of financing, offer or sell its securities in reliance upon any other 
38.11 	exemption from registration available under this chapter.  The offer or sale of securities in 
38.12 	reliance upon the exemptions found in this subpart will not be considered or deemed a part 
38.13 	of or be integrated with any offer or sale of securities conducted by the cooperative in 
38.14 	reliance upon any other exemption from registration available under this chapter, nor will 
38.15 	offers or sales of securities by the cooperative in reliance upon any other exemption from 
38.16 	registration available under this chapter be considered or deemed a part of or be integrated 
38.17 	with any offer or sale conducted by the cooperative in reliance upon this paragraph. 

38.18 	Sec. 10. ASSESSMENT.
 38.19 	(a) The commissioner of commerce may levy a pro rata assessment on institutions 
38.20 	licensed under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 58, to recover the costs to the Department of 
38.21 	Commerce for administering the licensing and registration requirements of Minnesota 
38.22 	Statutes, section 58A.10, if enacted in the 2010 legislative session.
38.23 	(b) The commissioner shall levy the assessments and notify each institution of the 
38.24 	amount of the assessment being levied by September 30, 2010. The institution shall pay

38.26 	to pay its assessment by this date, its license may be suspended by the commissioner 
38.27 	until it is paid in full.

59.27 	to suspect the contamination is attributable to petroleum or new and used tar and tar-like 
59.28 	substances, including but not limited to bitumen and asphalt, but excluding bituminous or 
59.29 	asphalt pavement, that consist primarily of hydrocarbons and are found in natural deposits 
59.30 	in the earth or are distillates, fractions, or residues from the processing of petroleum crude 
59.31 	or petroleum products as defined in section 296A.01.

60.6 	collection costs paid out of the fund and any amounts appropriated by the legislature from 
60.7 	the workforce development fund for programs other than the state dislocated worker 
60.8 	program.
60.9 	(c) Following the initial allocation, the board may consider additional allocations 
60.10 	to provide services to individual dislocated workers. The board's decision to allocate 
60.11 	additional funds shall be based on relevant economic indicators including: the number 
60.12 	of substantial layoffs to date, notices of substantial layoffs for the remainder of the fiscal 
60.13 	year, evidence of declining industries, the number of permanently separated individuals 
60.14 	applying for unemployment benefits by workforce service area, and the number of 
60.15 	individuals exhausting unemployment benefits by workforce service area. The board must 
60.16 	also consider expenditures of allocations to workforce service areas under paragraph (b) 
60.17 	made during the first two quarters of the fiscal year and federal resources that have been 
60.18 	or are likely to be allocated to Minnesota for the purposes of serving dislocated workers

83.4 	chairs and ranking minority members of

84.27 	session;
84.28 	(6) consolidating staff from correctional 
84.29 	institutions in geographical proximity to each 
84.30 	other to achieve efficiencies and cost savings,

84.32 	human resources, technology, and employee 
84.33 	development personnel;
85.1 	(7) consolidating the department's human 
85.2 	resources, technology, and employee 
85.3 	development functions in a centralized 
85.4 	location;
85.5 	(8) implementing corrections best practices; 
85.6 	and
85.7 	(9) implementing cost-saving measures used 
85.8 	by other states and the federal government.
85.9 	The commissioner must not eliminate 
85.10 	correctional officer positions or implement 
85.11 	any other measure that will jeopardize public 
85.12 	safety to achieve the mandated cost savings. 
85.13 	The commissioner also must not eliminate 
85.14 	treatment beds to achieve the mandated cost 
85.15 	savings.

85.20 	by the amount of unrealized savings; and
85.21 	(2) submit a report by February 15, 
85.22 	2010, to the chairs and ranking minority 
85.23 	members of the house of representatives 
85.24 	and senate committees with jurisdiction 
85.25 	over public safety policy and finance that 
85.26 	contains descriptions of what efforts the 
85.27 	commissioner made to reduce the per diem, 
85.28 	explanations for why those steps failed to 
85.29 	reduce the per diem by one percent, proposed 
85.30 	legislative options that would assist the 
85.31 	commissioner in reducing the adult facility 
85.32 	per diem, and descriptions of the specific 
85.33 	actions the commissioner took to reduce 
85.34 	funding in operations support.
86.1 	If the commissioner reduces the per diem 
86.2 	by more than one percent, the commissioner 
86.3 	must use the savings to provide treatment to 
86.4 	offenders.
86.5 	(e) Reductions to Certain Programming 
86.6 	Prohibited. When allocating reductions 
86.7 	in services and programming under this 
86.8 	appropriation, the commissioner may not

102.26 	allowed under this clause is equal to the amount unallotted or reduced in the calendar year 
102.27 	in which the tax is levied unless the unallotment  or reduction amount is not known by 
102.28 	September 1 of the levy year, and the local government has not adjusted its levy under 
102.29 	section 275.065, subdivision 6, or 275.07, subdivision 6, in which case the unallotment 
102.30 	or reduction amount may be levied in the following year;
102.31 	(23) to pay for the difference between one-half of the costs of confining sex offenders 
102.32 	undergoing the civil commitment process and any state payments for this purpose pursuant

103.1 	funding for the site acquisition, building design, site preparation, construction, and related 
103.2 	equipment was issued or authorized prior to the imposition of levy limits in 2008. The
