20.14 	advisory committee, and the advisory committee, subject to review by the Supreme Court,

20.20 	services to persons unable to afford private counsel with funds provided by the federal Legal 
20.21 	Services Corporation. The allocation of funds among the programs selected shall be based 
20.22 	upon the number of persons with incomes below the poverty level established by the United 
20.23 	States Census Bureau who reside in the geographical area served by each program, as 
20.24 	determined by the Supreme Court on the basis of the most recent national census. All funds 
20.25 	distributed pursuant to this clause shall be used for the provision of legal services in civil 
20.26 	and farm legal assistance matters as prioritized by program boards of directors to eligible 
20.27 	clients.

20.32 	operated by nonprofit alternative dispute resolution corporations, or (3) to qualified legal 
20.33 	services programs to provide family farm legal assistance for financially distressed state 
20.34 	farmers. The family farm legal assistance must be directed at farm financial problems 
21.1 	including, but not limited to, liquidation of farm property including bankruptcy, farm 
21.2 	foreclosure, repossession of farm assets, restructuring or discharge of farm debt, farm credit

21.4 	pursuant to this clause cannot be distributed because of insufficient acceptable applications, 
21.5 	the remaining funds shall be distributed pursuant to clause (a).
21.6 	A person is eligible for legal assistance under this section if the person is an eligible 
21.7 	client as defined in section 480.24, subdivision 2, or:

21.28 	by a judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation, and also of the fact 
21.29 	that the matter was duly referred to the referees.
21.30 	(d) Review of any recommended order or finding of a referee by a judge may be by

27.21 	award, or report until judgment is finally entered shall be computed by the court administrator 
27.22 	or arbitrator as provided in paragraph (c) and added to the judgment or award.
27.23 	(b) Except as otherwise provided by contract or allowed by law, preverdict, preaward, 
27.24 	or prereport interest on pecuniary damages shall be computed as provided in paragraph (c) 
27.25 	from the time of the commencement of the action or a demand for arbitration, or the time 
27.26 	of a written notice of claim, whichever occurs first, except as provided herein. The action 
27.27 	must be commenced within two years of a written notice of claim for interest to begin to 
27.28 	accrue from the time of the notice of claim. If either party serves a written offer of settlement, 
27.29 	the other party may serve a written acceptance or a written counteroffer within 30 days. 
27.30 	After that time, interest on the judgment or award shall be calculated by the judge or arbitrator 
28.1 	in the following manner. The prevailing party shall receive interest on any judgment or 
28.2 	award from the time of commencement of the action or a demand for arbitration, or the time 
28.3 	of a written notice of claim, or as to special damages from the time when special damages 
28.4 	were incurred, if later, until the time of verdict, award, or report only if the amount of its 
28.5 	offer is closer to the judgment or award than the amount of the opposing party's offer. If 
28.6 	the amount of the losing party's offer was closer to the judgment or award than the prevailing 
28.7 	party's offer, the prevailing party shall receive interest only on the amount of the settlement 
28.8 	offer or the judgment or award, whichever is less, and only from the time of commencement 
28.9 	of the action or a demand for arbitration, or the time of a written notice of claim, or as to 
28.10 	special damages from when the special damages were incurred, if later, until the time the 
28.11 	settlement offer was made. Subsequent offers and counteroffers supersede the legal effect 
28.12 	of earlier offers and counteroffers. For the purposes of clause (2), the amount of settlement 
28.13 	offer must be allocated between past and future damages in the same proportion as determined 
28.14 	by the trier of fact. Except as otherwise provided by contract or allowed by law, preverdict, 
28.15 	preaward, or prereport interest shall not be awarded on the following:
28.16 	(1) judgments, awards, or benefits in workers' compensation cases, but not including

28.20 	(4) judgments or awards not in excess of the amount specified in section 491A.01; and

28.24 	the state or a political subdivision of the state, regardless of the amount, or a judgment or 
28.25 	award in a family court action, regardless of the amount, The interest shall be computed as 
28.26 	simple interest per annum. The rate of interest shall be based on the secondary market yield 
28.27 	of one year United States Treasury bills, calculated on a bank discount basis as provided in 
28.28 	this section.
28.29 	On or before the 20th day of December of each year the state court administrator shall 
28.30 	determine the rate from the one-year constant maturity treasury yield for the most recent 
28.31 	calendar month, reported on a monthly basis in the latest statistical release of the board of 
28.32 	governors of the Federal Reserve System. This yield, rounded to the nearest one percent, 
28.33 	or four percent, whichever is greater, shall be the annual interest rate during the succeeding 
28.34 	calendar year. The state court administrator shall communicate the interest rates to the court 
29.1 	administrators and sheriffs for use in computing the interest on verdicts and shall make the 
29.2 	interest rates available to arbitrators.
29.3 	This item applies to any section that references section 549.09 by citation for the purposes 
29.4 	of computing an interest rate on any amount owed to or by the state or a political subdivision 
29.5 	of the state, regardless of the amount.
29.6 	(ii) The court, in a family court action, may order a lower interest rate or no interest rate 
29.7 	if the parties agree or if the court makes findings explaining why application of a lower 
29.8 	interest rate or no interest rate is necessary to avoid causing an unfair hardship to the debtor. 
29.9 	This item does not apply to child support or spousal maintenance judgments subject to 
29.10 	section 548.091.
29.11 	(2) For a judgment or award over $50,000, other than a judgment or award for or against

29.14 	(3) When a judgment creditor, or the judgment creditor's attorney or agent, has received 
29.15 	a payment after entry of judgment, whether the payment is made voluntarily by or on behalf 
29.16 	of the judgment debtor, or is collected by legal process other than execution levy where a 
29.17 	proper return has been filed with the court administrator, the judgment creditor, or the 
29.18 	judgment creditor's attorney, before applying to the court administrator for an execution 
29.19 	shall file with the court administrator an affidavit of partial satisfaction. The affidavit must 
29.20 	state the dates and amounts of payments made upon the judgment after the most recent

29.22 	disbursements and to accrued interest and to the unpaid principal balance of the judgment; 
29.23 	and the accrued, but the unpaid interest owing, if any, after application of each payment.
29.24 	(d) This section does not apply to arbitrations between employers and employees under 
29.25 	chapter 179 or 179A. An arbitrator is neither required to nor prohibited from awarding 
29.26 	interest under chapter 179 or under section 179A.16 for essential employees.

36.13 	commissioner for action.

36.31 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
36.32 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
36.33 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise, 
36.34 	as to the previous history, physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate and, to 
37.1 	that end, has the authority to require the attendance of the chief executive officer of any 
37.2 	state adult correctional facility and the production of the records of these facilities, and to 
37.3 	compel the attendance of witnesses. The commissioner is authorized to administer oaths to 
37.4 	witnesses for these purposes.
37.5 	(h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents may 
37.6 	require a person who is under the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
37.7 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
37.8 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
37.9 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
37.10 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
37.11 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
37.12 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
37.13 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
37.14 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
37.15 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
37.16 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
37.17 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
37.18 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
37.19 	period.
37.20 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
37.21 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
37.22 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
37.23 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
37.24 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
37.25 	under the circumstances.
37.26 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
37.27 	(i) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation 
37.28 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
37.29 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole or probation 
37.30 	agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
37.31 	not limited to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If a probation or parole agent 
37.32 	determines that community options are appropriate, the agent shall seek to restructure the 
37.33 	offender's terms of release to incorporate those options. If an offender on probation stipulates 
38.1 	in writing to restructure the terms of release, a probation agent must forward a report to the 
38.2 	district court containing:
38.3 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
38.4 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
38.5 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
38.6 	the restructuring of probation.
38.7 	The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by a 
38.8 	judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation and amend the terms of 
38.9 	the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135. If a nonviolent controlled substance 
38.10 	offender's parole or probation is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place 
38.11 	the offender in a local jail. For purposes of this paragraph, "nonviolent controlled substance 
38.12 	offender" is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 
38.13 	2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means any violation of a court order 
38.14 	of probation or a condition of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that 
38.15 	is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or petition.

38.16 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2016, section 243.17, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

38.21 	committed to the custody of the commissioner of corrections to the appropriate adult or 
38.22 	juvenile correctional facility as designated by the commissioner of corrections, including 
38.23 	per diem and expenses of correctional officers, shall be allowed by the commissioner of 
38.24 	management and budget and paid out of the state treasury. The commissioner of management 
38.25 	and budget may allow and pay for the necessary expenses incurred by the sheriff, deputy, 
38.26 	or other peace officer in going to and returning from the correctional facility and $10 per 
38.27 	day for each correctional officer. Not more than one correctional officer shall be allowed 
38.28 	for one prisoner, but one additional correctional officer shall be allowed for every two 
38.29 	additional prisoners. All bills shall be in writing, fully itemized, verified, and accompanied 
38.30 	by the receipt of the chief executive officer of the facility for the delivery of the convicted 
38.31 	or adjudicated persons, in a form prescribed by the commissioner of management and 
38.32 	budget. The total amount of payments shall not exceed $500,000 each fiscal year. Payments 
38.33 	shall be made one or two times each fiscal year based on a fee schedule agreed to by the 
38.34 	Department of Corrections and the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association.

39.5 	the conditions imposed on the inmate; or
39.6 	(2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison the inmate for the appropriate 
39.7 	period of time.
39.8 	Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's supervised release based 
39.9 	on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and the 
39.10 	offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, the commissioner must 
39.11 	identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but not limited 
39.12 	to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If the commissioner determines that community 
39.13 	options are appropriate, the commissioner shall restructure the inmate's terms of release to 
39.14 	incorporate those options. If a nonviolent controlled substance offender's supervised release 
39.15 	is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place the offender in a local jail. For 
39.16 	purposes of this subdivision, "nonviolent controlled substance offender" is a person who 
39.17 	meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), 
39.18 	and "technical violation" means a violation of a condition of supervised release, except an 
39.19 	allegation of a subsequent criminal act that is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or 
39.20 	petition.
39.21 	The period of time for which a supervised release may be revoked may not exceed the 
39.22 	period of time remaining in the inmate's sentence, except that if a sex offender is sentenced 
39.23 	and conditionally released under Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 609.108, subdivision 5, 
39.24 	the period of time for which conditional release may be revoked may not exceed the balance 
39.25 	of the conditional release term.

39.31 	agency must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
39.32 	not limited to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If the agency determines that

47.25 	violated a prior or existing restraining order on two or more occasions, relief granted by the 
47.26 	restraining order may be for a period of up to 50 years. In all other cases, relief granted by

48.2 	violated the order. Application for relief under this paragraph must be made in the county 
48.3 	in which the restraining order was issued. Upon receipt of the request, the court shall set a 
48.4 	hearing date. Personal service must be made upon the petitioner named in the restraining 
48.5 	order not less than 30 days before the date of the hearing. At the hearing, the respondent 
48.6 	named in the restraining order has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence 
48.7 	that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the reasons upon which the 
48.8 	court relied in granting the restraining order no longer apply and are unlikely to occur. If 
48.9 	the court finds that the respondent named in the restraining order has met the burden of 
48.10 	proof, the court may vacate or modify the order. If the court finds that the respondent named 
48.11 	in the restraining order has not met the burden of proof, the court shall deny the request and 
48.12 	no request may be made to vacate or modify the restraining order until five years have 
48.13 	elapsed from the date of denial. An order vacated or modified under this paragraph must 
48.14 	be personally served on the petitioner named in the restraining order.

48.24 	who signed the order.
48.25 	The short-form notification must be in bold print in the following form:
48.26 	"The restraining order is now enforceable. You must report to your nearest sheriff's

48.28 	and may be charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony if you violate any 
48.29 	of the terms of the restraining order or this short-form notification."
48.30 	(b) Upon verification of the identity of the respondent and the existence of an unserved
