34.12 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2009 Supplement, section 45.30, subdivision 6, is 
34.13 	amended to read:
34.14 		Subd. 6.Course approval. (a) Courses must be approved by the commissioner in 
34.15 	advance. A course that is required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to receive 
34.16 	a substantive review will be approved or disapproved on the basis of its compliance with 
34.17 	the provisions of laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. At the commissioner's 
34.18 	discretion, a course that is not required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to 
34.19 	receive a substantive review may be approved based on a qualified provider's certification 
34.20 	on a form specified by the commissioner that the course complies with the provisions of 
34.21 	this chapter and the laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. For the purposes 
34.22 	of this section, a "qualified provider" is one of the following: (1) a degree-granting 
34.23 	institution of higher learning located within this state; (2) a private school licensed by the 
34.24 	Minnesota Office of Higher Education; or (3) when conducting courses for its members, a 
34.25 	bona fide trade association that staffs and maintains in this state a physical location that 
34.26 	contains course and student records and that has done so for not less than three years. 
34.27 	The commissioner may review any approved course and may cancel its approval with 
34.28 	regard to all future offerings. The commissioner must make the final determination as to 
34.29 	accreditation and assignment of credit hours for courses. Courses must be at least one hour 
34.30 	in length, except courses for real estate appraisers must be at least two hours in length.
35.1 	Individuals wishing to receive credit for continuing education courses that have not 
35.2 	been previously approved may submit the course information for approval. Courses 
35.3 	must be in compliance with the laws and rules governing the types of courses that will 
35.4 	and will not be approved.
35.5 	Approval will not include time spent on meals or other unrelated activities.
35.6 	(b) Courses must be submitted at least 30 days before the initial proposed course 
35.7 	offering.
35.8 	(c) Approval must be granted for a subsequent offering of identical continuing 
35.9 	education courses without requiring a new application. The commissioner must deny 
35.10 	future offerings of courses if they are found not to be in compliance with the laws relating 
35.11 	to course approval.
35.12 	(d) When either the content of an approved course or its method of instruction 
35.13 	changes, the course is no longer approved for license education credit. A new application 
35.14 	must be submitted for the changed course if the education provider intends to offer it for 
35.15 	license education credit.

41.15 	to service of process under section 80A.88 and has, not less than ten days before the

41.31 	reliance upon this exemption, the cooperative has filed with the administrator a consent to 
41.32 	service of process under section 80A.88 (or has previously filed such a consent), and has 
41.33 	furnished the administrator with a written general description of the transaction and any 
41.34 	other information that the administrator requires by rule or otherwise; and 
41.35 	(C) a cooperative may, at or about the same time as offers or sales are being 
41.36 	completed in reliance upon the exemptions from registration found in this subpart and as 
42.1 	part of a common plan of financing, offer or sell its securities in reliance upon any other 
42.2 	exemption from registration available under this chapter.  The offer or sale of securities in 
42.3 	reliance upon the exemptions found in this subpart will not be considered or deemed a part 
42.4 	of or be integrated with any offer or sale of securities conducted by the cooperative in 
42.5 	reliance upon any other exemption from registration available under this chapter, nor will 
42.6 	offers or sales of securities by the cooperative in reliance upon any other exemption from 
42.7 	registration available under this chapter be considered or deemed a part of or be integrated 
42.8 	with any offer or sale conducted by the cooperative in reliance upon this paragraph.

42.12 	of one-tenth of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities 
42.13 	are to be offered in this state, and the maximum combined fees shall not exceed $300.
42.14 	(b) When an application for registration is withdrawn before the effective date 
42.15 	or a preeffective stop order is entered under section 80A.54, all but the $100 filing fee 
42.16 	shall be returned. If an application to register securities is denied, the total of all fees 
42.17 	received shall be retained.
42.18 	(c) Where a filing is made in connection with a federal covered security under 
42.19 	section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, there is a fee of $100 for every initial filing. 
42.20 	If the filing is made in connection with redeemable securities issued by an open end 
42.21 	management company or unit investment trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act 
42.22 	of 1940, there is an additional annual fee of 1/20 1/15 of one percent of the maximum 
42.23 	aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state during the 
42.24 	notice filing period. The fee must be paid at the time of the initial filing and thereafter in 
42.25 	connection with each renewal no later than July 1 of each year and must be sufficient to 
42.26 	cover the shares the issuer expects to sell in this state over the next 12 months. If during a 
42.27 	current notice filing the issuer determines it is likely to sell shares in excess of the shares 
42.28 	for which fees have been paid to the administrator, the issuer shall submit an amended 
42.29 	notice filing to the administrator under section 80A.50, together with a fee of 1/20 1/15
42.30 	of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price of the additional shares. Shares 
42.31 	for which a fee has been paid, but which have not been sold at the time of expiration of 
42.32 	the notice filing, may not be sold unless an additional fee to cover the shares has been 
42.33 	paid to the administrator as provided in this section and section 80A.50. If the filing is 
42.34 	made in connection with redeemable securities issued by such a company or trust, there 
42.35 	is no maximum fee for securities filings made according to this paragraph. If the filing 
43.1 	is made in connection with any other federal covered security under Section 18(b)(2) of 
43.2 	the Securities Act of 1933, there is an additional fee of one-tenth of one percent of the 
43.3 	maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state, 
43.4 	and the combined fees shall not exceed $300.

74.22 	or reduction amount may be levied in the following year;
74.23 	(23) to pay for the difference between one-half of the costs of confining sex offenders 
74.24 	undergoing the civil commitment process and any state payments for this purpose pursuant 
74.25 	to section 253B.185, subdivision 5;
