37.27 		Subd. 3.Written policies and procedures required. (a) The chief officer of every state 
37.28 	and local law enforcement agency that uses or proposes to use a portable recording system 
37.29 	must establish and enforce a written policy governing its use. In developing and adopting 
37.30 	the policy, the law enforcement agency must provide for public comment and input as 
37.31 	provided in subdivision 2. Use of a portable recording system without adoption of a written

38.14 	required by law, of an officer's use of deadly force no later than 48 hours after an incident 
38.15 	where deadly force used by a peace officer results in death of an individual, except that a 
38.16 	chief law enforcement officer may deny a request if investigators can articulate a compelling

38.18 	next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children to review the recordings 
38.19 	would interfere with the agency conducting a thorough investigation. If the chief law 
38.20 	enforcement officer denies a request under this provision, the agency's policy must require 
38.21 	the chief law enforcement officer to issue a prompt, written denial and provide notice to 
38.22 	the deceased individual's next of kin, legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent

38.26 	the next of kin, and other parent of the deceased individual's children no later than 90 days 
38.27 	after the incident;

39.2 	response, or incident is ongoing;
39.3 	(7) (9) procedures for the secure storage of portable recording system data and the 
39.4 	creation of backup copies of the data; and
39.5 	(8) (10) procedures to ensure compliance and address violations of the policy, which 
39.6 	must include, at a minimum, supervisory or internal audits and reviews, and the employee 
39.7 	discipline standards for unauthorized access to data contained in section 13.09.

39.8 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 626.8475, is amended to read:

54.13 	(16) a policy on death review of all circumstances surrounding the death of an individual 
54.14 	committed to the custody of the facility; and
54.15 	(17) dissemination of a rights statement made available to persons confined or 
54.16 	incarcerated in licensed correctional facilities.
54.17 	No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private 
54.18 	organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the 
54.19 	facility unless licensed by it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. 
54.20 	Private adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 
54.21 	13, if the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with such the authority and the 
54.22 	facility meets requirements of section 243.52.
54.23 	The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision 
54.24 	at least once every biennium two years, except as otherwise provided herein, to determine 
54.25 	compliance with the minimum standards established pursuant according to this subdivision
54.26 	or other law related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.
54.27 	The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum 
54.28 	standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory 
54.29 	progress toward substantial conformity and the standards not being met do not impact the
54.30 	interests and well-being of the persons detained or confined therein or incarcerated in the 
54.31 	facilityare protected. A limited license under subdivision 1a may be issued for purposes of 
54.32 	effectuating a facility closure. The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years. Unless 
55.1 	otherwise specified by statute, all licenses issued under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on 
55.2 	the day after the expiration date stated on the license.
55.3 	The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and 
55.4 	to persons detained or confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may 
55.5 	require the officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the 
55.6 	commissioner deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner.
55.7 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities defined under subdivision 1g are 
55.8 	required to report all deaths of individuals who died while committed to the custody of the 
55.9 	facility, regardless of whether the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the 
55.10 	facility for medical care stemming from an incident or need for medical care at the 
55.11 	correctional facility, as soon as practicable, but no later than 24 hours of receiving knowledge 
55.12 	of the death, including any demographic information as required by the commissioner.
55.13 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities defined under subdivision 1g are 
55.14 	required to report all other emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including 
55.15 	uses of force by facility staff that result in substantial bodily harm or suicide attempts, to 
55.16 	the commissioner of corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any 
55.17 	demographic information as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections 
55.18 	shall consult with the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the 
55.19 	Minnesota Association of Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the 
55.20 	operations of an adult correctional facility to define "use of force" that results in substantial 
55.21 	bodily harm for reporting purposes.
55.22 	The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the 
55.23 	Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each 
55.24 	inspection report publicly and on the department's website within 30 days of completing 
55.25 	the inspection. The education program offered in a correctional facility for the detention or
55.26 	confinement or incarceration of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner 
55.27 	of education before the commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.
55.28 	(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the 
55.29 	commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth 
55.30 	in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given 
55.31 	it in section 245A.02.
55.32 	(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional 
55.33 	facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
55.34 	substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or 
56.1 	license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different 
56.2 	correctional facilities.
56.3 	(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections' 
56.4 	authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
56.5 	funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16, or to require counties to comply with operating 
56.6 	standards the commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that 
56.7 	funding.
56.8 	(e) The department's inspection unit must report directly to a division head outside of 
56.9 	the correctional institutions division.
56.10 	(e) When the commissioner finds that any facility described in paragraph (a), except 
56.11 	foster care facilities for delinquent children and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does 
56.12 	not substantially conform to the minimum standards established by the commissioner and 
56.13 	is not making satisfactory progress toward substantial conformance, the commissioner shall 
56.14 	promptly notify the chief executive officer and the governing board of the facility of the 
56.15 	deficiencies and order that they be remedied within a reasonable period of time. The 
56.16 	commissioner may by written order restrict the use of any facility which does not substantially 
56.17 	conform to minimum standards to prohibit the detention of any person therein for more than 
56.18 	72 hours at one time. When, after due notice and hearing, the commissioner finds that any 
56.19 	facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups as provided in sections 
56.20 	641.26, 642.10, and 642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making 
56.21 	satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance therewith, the commissioner may issue 
56.22 	an order revoking the license of that facility. After revocation of its license, that facility 
56.23 	shall not be used until its license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that 
56.24 	satisfactory progress towards substantial compliance with minimum standard is being made, 
56.25 	the commissioner may, at the request of the appropriate officials of the affected facility 
56.26 	supported by a written schedule for compliance, grant an extension of time for a period not 
56.27 	to exceed one year.
56.28 	(f) As used in this subdivision, "correctional facility" means any facility, including a 
56.29 	group home, having a residential component, the primary purpose of which is to serve 
56.30 	persons placed therein by a court, court services department, parole authority, or other 
56.31 	correctional agency having dispositional power over persons charged with, convicted, or 
56.32 	adjudicated to be guilty or delinquent.

57.1 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
57.2 	read:
57.3 		Subd. 1a.Correction order; conditional license. (a) When the commissioner finds that 
57.4 	any facility described in subdivision 1, except foster care facilities for delinquent children 
57.5 	and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does not substantially conform to the minimum 
57.6 	standards established by the commissioner and is not making satisfactory progress toward 
57.7 	substantial conformance and the nonconformance does not present an imminent risk of 
57.8 	life-threatening harm or serious physical injury to the persons confined or incarcerated in 
57.9 	the facility, the commissioner shall promptly notify the facility administrator and the 
57.10 	governing board of the facility of the deficiencies and must issue a correction order or a 
57.11 	conditional license order that the deficiencies be remedied within a reasonable and specified 
57.12 	period of time.
57.13 	The conditional license order may restrict the use of any facility which does not 
57.14 	substantially conform to minimum standards, including imposition of conditions limiting 
57.15 	operation of the facility or parts of the facility, reducing facility capacity, limiting intake, 
57.16 	limiting length of detention for individuals, or imposing detention limitations based on the 
57.17 	needs of the individuals being confined or incarcerated therein.
57.18 	The correction order or conditional license order must clearly state the following:
57.19 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
57.20 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards;
57.21 	(3) the corrective action needed;
57.22 	(4) time allowed to correct each violation; and
57.23 	(5) if a license is made conditional, the length and terms of the conditional license, any 
57.24 	conditions limiting operation of the facility, and the reasons for making the license 
57.25 	conditional.
57.26 	(b) The facility administrator may request review of the findings noted in the conditional 
57.27 	license order on the grounds that satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with 
57.28 	minimum standards has been made, supported by evidence of correction, and, if appropriate, 
57.29 	may include a written schedule for compliance. The commissioner shall review the evidence 
57.30 	of correction and the progress made toward substantial compliance with minimum standards 
57.31 	within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ten business days. When the commissioner 
57.32 	has assurance that satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with minimum 
58.1 	standards is being made, the commissioner shall lift any conditions limiting operation of 
58.2 	the facility or parts of the facility or remove the conditional license order.
58.3 	(c) Nothing in this section prohibits the commissioner from ordering a revocation under 
58.4 	subdivision 1b prior to issuing a correction order or conditional license order.

58.5 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
58.6 	read:
58.7 		Subd. 1b.License revocation order. (a) When, after due notice to the facility 
58.8 	administrator of the commissioner's intent to issue a revocation order, the commissioner 
58.9 	finds that any facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups subject 
58.10 	to active condemnation proceedings or orders as provided in sections 641.26, 642.10, and 
58.11 	642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making satisfactory progress 
58.12 	toward substantial compliance with minimum standards, and the nonconformance does not 
58.13 	present an imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury to the persons 
58.14 	confined or incarcerated in the facility, the commissioner may issue an order revoking the 
58.15 	license of that facility.
58.16 	The notice of intent to issue a revocation order shall include:
58.17 	(1) the citation to minimum standards that have been violated;
58.18 	(2) the nature and severity of each violation;
58.19 	(3) whether the violation is recurring or nonrecurring;
58.20 	(4) the effect of the violation on persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional 
58.21 	facility;
58.22 	(5) an evaluation of the risk of harm to persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional 
58.23 	facility;
58.24 	(6) relevant facts, conditions, and circumstances concerning the operation of the licensed 
58.25 	facility, including at a minimum:
58.26 	(i) specific facility deficiencies that endanger the health or safety of persons confined 
58.27 	or incarcerated in the correctional facility;
58.28 	(ii) substantiated complaints relating to the correctional facility; or
58.29 	(iii) any other evidence that the correctional facility is not in compliance with minimum 
58.30 	standards.
59.1 	(b) The facility administrator must submit a written response within 30 days of receipt 
59.2 	of the notice of intent to issue a revocation order with any information related to errors in 
59.3 	the notice, ability to conform to minimum standards within a set period of time including 
59.4 	but not limited to a written schedule for compliance, and any other information the facility 
59.5 	administrator deems relevant for consideration by the commissioner. The written response 
59.6 	must also include a written plan indicating how the correctional facility will ensure the 
59.7 	transfer of confined or incarcerated individuals and records if the correctional facility closes. 
59.8 	Plans must specify arrangements the correctional facility will make to transfer confined or 
59.9 	incarcerated individuals to another licensed correctional facility for continuation of detention.
59.10 	(c) When revoking a license, the commissioner shall consider the nature, chronicity, or 
59.11 	severity of the violation of law or rule and the effect of the violation on the health, safety, 
59.12 	or rights of persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional facility.
59.13 	(d) If the facility administrator does not respond within 30 days to the notice of intent 
59.14 	to issue a revocation order or if the commissioner does not have assurance that satisfactory 
59.15 	progress toward substantial compliance with minimum standards will be made, the 
59.16 	commissioner shall issue a revocation order. The revocation order must be sent to the facility 
59.17 	administrator and the governing board of the facility, clearly stating:
59.18 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
59.19 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards and the nature, 
59.20 	chronicity, or severity of those violations;
59.21 	(3) the corrective action needed;
59.22 	(4) any prior correction or conditional license orders issued to correct violations; and
59.23 	(5) the date at which the license revocation shall take place.
59.24 	A revocation order may authorize use until a certain date, not to exceed the duration of the 
59.25 	current license, unless a limited license is issued by the commissioner for purposes of 
59.26 	effectuating a facility closure and continued operation does not present an imminent risk 
59.27 	of life-threatening harm or is not likely to result in serious physical injury to the persons 
59.28 	confined or incarcerated in the facility.
59.29 	(e) After revocation of the facility's licensure, that facility shall not be used until the 
59.30 	license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that satisfactory progress toward 
59.31 	substantial compliance with minimum standards is being made, the commissioner may, at 
59.32 	the request of the facility administrator supported by a written schedule for compliance, 
59.33 	reinstate the license.

60.1 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
60.2 	read:
60.3 		Subd. 1c.Temporary license suspension. The commissioner shall act immediately to 
60.4 	temporarily suspend a license issued under this chapter if:
60.5 	(1) the correctional facility's failure to comply with applicable minimum standards or 
60.6 	the conditions in the correctional facility pose an imminent risk of life-threatening harm or 
60.7 	serious physical injury to persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, staff, law 
60.8 	enforcement, visitors, or the public; and
60.9 	(i) if the imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury cannot be 
60.10 	promptly corrected through a different type of order under this section; and
60.11 	(ii) the correctional facility cannot or has not corrected the violation giving rise to the 
60.12 	imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury; or
60.13 	(2) while the correctional facility continues to operate pending due notice and opportunity 
60.14 	for written response to the commissioner's notice of intent to issue an order of revocation, 
60.15 	the commissioner identifies one or more subsequent violations of minimum standards which 
60.16 	may adversely affect the health or safety of persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, 
60.17 	staff, law enforcement, visitors, or the public.
60.18 	A notice stating the reasons for the immediate suspension informing the facility 
60.19 	administrator must be delivered by personal service to the correctional facility administrator 
60.20 	and the governing board of the facility.

60.21 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
60.22 	read:
60.23 		Subd. 1d.Public notice of restriction, revocation, or suspension. If the license of a 
60.24 	facility under this section is revoked or suspended, or use of the facility is restricted for any 
60.25 	reason under a conditional license order, the commissioner shall post the facility, the status 
60.26 	of the facility's license, and the reason for the restriction, revocation, or suspension publicly 
60.27 	and on the department's website.

60.28 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
60.29 	to read:
60.30 		Subd. 1e.Reconsideration of orders; appeals. (a) If the facility administrator believes 
60.31 	the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in error, the facility 
61.1 	administrator may ask the Department of Corrections to reconsider the parts of the order or 
61.2 	action that are alleged to be in error. The request for reconsideration must:
61.3 	(1) be made in writing;
61.4 	(2) be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than 30 calendar days after 
61.5 	receipt of the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order;
61.6 	(3) specify the parts of the order that are alleged to be in error;
61.7 	(4) explain why the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in 
61.8 	error; and
61.9 	(5) include documentation to support the allegation of error.
61.10 	The commissioner shall issue a disposition within 60 days of receipt of the facility 
61.11 	administrator's response to correction, conditional license, or revocation order violations. 
61.12 	A request for reconsideration does not stay any provisions or requirements of the order.
61.13 	(b) The facility administrator may request reconsideration of an order immediately 
61.14 	suspending a license. The request for reconsideration of an order immediately suspending 
61.15 	a license must be made in writing and sent by certified mail, personal service, or other means 
61.16 	expressly stated in the commissioner's order. If mailed, the request for reconsideration must 
61.17 	be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than five business days after the facility 
61.18 	administrator receives notice that the license has been immediately suspended. If a request

61.20 	business days after the facility administrator received the order. The request for 
61.21 	reconsideration must:

61.23 	(2) explain why they are in error; and
61.24 	(3) include documentation to support the allegation of error.
61.25 	A facility administrator and the governing board of the facility shall discontinue operation 
61.26 	of the correctional facility upon receipt of the commissioner's order to immediately suspend 
61.27 	the license.
61.28 	(c) Within five business days of receipt of the facility administrator's timely request for 
61.29 	reconsideration of a temporary immediate suspension, the commissioner shall review the

62.5 	to appeal.
62.6 	No later than 60 days after the postmark date of the mailed notice of the commissioner's 
62.7 	decision on a request for reconsideration, the facility administrator may appeal the decision 
62.8 	by filing for a writ of certiorari with the court of appeals under section 606.01 and Minnesota

63.24 	unit conduct biennial security audits of each state correctional facility using the standards 
63.25 	promulgated by the state correctional facilities security audit group. The unit must prepare

64.2 	otherwise available from other sources are not immune from discovery or use in a civil or 
64.3 	criminal action solely because they were acquired during the group's audit. This section 
64.4 	does not limit a person who presented information to the group or who is a member of the 
64.5 	group from testifying about matters within the person's knowledge. However, in a civil or 
64.6 	criminal proceeding, a person may not be questioned about the person's good faith 
64.7 	presentation of information to the group or opinions formed by the person as a result of the

64.16 	(2) the ombudsperson for corrections;
64.17 	(3) an elected sheriff or designee nominated by the Minnesota Sheriffs Association and

65.29 	be given before the license is first issuance of a license granted and annually after that time 
65.30 	if annual notification is requested in writing by any affected municipality or other political

66.28 	not a violation of this subdivision.

66.29 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
66.30 	to read:

66.32 	incarcerate adults are required at intake to provide each person an authorization form to 
67.1 	release information related to that person's health or mental health condition and when that 
67.2 	information should be shared. This release form shall allow the individual to select if the

67.4 	person to facilitate the sharing of health condition information upon incapacitation or if the 
67.5 	individual becomes unable to communicate or direct the sharing of this information, so long

67.14 	facility for medical care stemming from an incident or need for medical care at the 
67.15 	correctional facility, the administrator of the facility, minimally including a medical expert 
67.16 	of the facility's choosing who did not provide medical services to the individual, and, if 
67.17 	appropriate, a mental health expert, shall review the circumstances of the death and assess 
67.18 	for preventable mortality and morbidity, including recommendations for policy or procedure 
67.19 	change, within 90 days of death. The investigating law enforcement agency may provide 
67.20 	documentation, participate in, or provide documentation and participate in the review in 
67.21 	instances where criminal charges were not brought. A preliminary autopsy report must be 
67.22 	provided as part of the review and any subsequent autopsy findings as available. The facility 
67.23 	administrator shall provide notice to the commissioner of corrections via the Department 
67.24 	of Corrections detention information system that the correctional facility has conducted a 
67.25 	review and identify any recommendations for changes in policy, procedure, or training that 
67.26 	will be implemented. Any report or other documentation created for purposes of a facility 
67.27 	death review is confidential as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3. Nothing in this 
67.28 	section relieves the facility administrator from complying with the notice of death to the 
67.29 	commissioner as required by subdivision 1, paragraph (a).

67.30 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.025, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

68.1 	as the Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit, to perform the duties necessary 
68.2 	to make statewide arrests under sections 629.30 and 629.34. The jurisdiction of the law 
68.3 	enforcement agency is limited to primarily the arrest of Department of Corrections' 
68.4 	discretionary and statutory released violators and Department of Corrections' escapees. The 
68.5 	Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit may exercise general law enforcement 
68.6 	duties during the course of official duties, including carrying out law enforcement activities 
68.7 	in coordination with the law enforcement agency of jurisdiction, investigating criminal 
68.8 	offenses in agency-operated correctional facilities and surrounding property, and assisting 
68.9 	other law enforcement agencies upon request.

68.10 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.025, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
68.11 		Subd. 2.Limitations. The initial processing of a person arrested by the fugitive 
68.12 	apprehension unit for an offense within the agency's jurisdiction is the responsibility of the 
68.13 	fugitive apprehension unit unless otherwise directed by the law enforcement agency with 
68.14 	primary jurisdiction. A subsequent investigation is the responsibility of the law enforcement 
68.15 	agency of the jurisdiction in which a new crime is committed unless the law enforcement 
68.16 	agency authorizes the fugitive apprehension unit to assume the subsequent investigation.
68.17 	At the request of the primary jurisdiction, the fugitive apprehension unit may assist in 
68.18 	subsequent investigations or law enforcement efforts being carried out by the primary 
68.19 	jurisdiction. Persons arrested for violations that the fugitive apprehension unit determines 
68.20 	are not within the agency's jurisdiction must be referred to the appropriate local law 
68.21 	enforcement agency for further investigation or disposition.

68.27 	These policies must be filed with the board of peace officers standards and training by 
68.28 	November 1, 2000. Revisions of any of these policies must be filed with the board within 
68.29 	ten days of the effective date of the revision. The Department of Corrections shall train all

71.30 	in defense of the assault, except as limited in this section. If any inmate confined or 
71.31 	incarcerated person attempts to damage the buildings or appurtenances, resists the lawful

73.1 	(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided 
73.2 	that the threat:
73.3 	(i) can be articulated with specificity by the correctional officer;
73.4 	(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and
73.5 	(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
73.6 	(2) to effect the capture or prevent the escape of a person when the officer reasonably 
73.7 	believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the 
73.8 	threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.

73.24 	food, clothing, health care, or supervision necessary to maintain the physical and mental

74.24 	in section 15.0575.
74.25 		Subd. 3.Quorum; administrative duties. (a) The majority of members constitutes a 
74.26 	quorum.
74.27 	(b) The commissioner of corrections shall provide the board with personnel, supplies, 
74.28 	equipment, office space, and other administrative services necessary and incident to the 
74.29 	discharge of the functions of the board.
75.1 		Subd. 4.Limitation. Nothing in this section supersedes the commissioner's authority 
75.2 	to revoke an inmate's release for a violation of the inmate's terms of release or impairs the 
75.3 	power of the Board of Pardons to grant a pardon or commutation in any case.
75.4 		Subd. 5.Report. On or before February 15 each year, the board shall submit to the 
75.5 	legislative committees with jurisdiction over criminal justice policy a written report detailing

75.7 	year. The report shall also include the board's recommendations for policy modifications 
75.8 	that influence the board's duties.

75.9 	Sec. 30. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.05, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
75.10 		Subd. 5.Supervised release, life sentence. (a) The commissioner of corrections board
75.11 	may, under rules promulgated adopted by the commissioner and upon majority vote of the 
75.12 	board members, give supervised release to an inmate serving a mandatory life sentence 
75.13 	under section 609.185, paragraph (a), clause (3), (5), or (6); 609.3455, subdivision 3 or 4; 
75.14 	609.385; or Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 609.109, subdivision 3, after the inmate has 
75.15 	served the minimum term of imprisonment specified in subdivision 4.
75.16 	(b) The commissioner board shall require the preparation of a community investigation 
75.17 	report and shall consider the findings of the report when making a supervised release decision 
75.18 	under this subdivision. The report shall reflect the sentiment of the various elements of the 
75.19 	community toward the inmate, both at the time of the offense and at the present time. The 
75.20 	report shall include the views of the sentencing judge, the prosecutor, any law enforcement 
75.21 	personnel who may have been involved in the case, and any successors to these individuals 
75.22 	who may have information relevant to the supervised release decision. The report shall also 
75.23 	include the views of the victim and the victim's family unless the victim or the victim's 
75.24 	family chooses not to participate.
75.25 	(c) The commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to notify the victim, in advance, of 
75.26 	the time and place of the inmate's supervised release review hearing. The victim has a right 
75.27 	to submit an oral or written statement at the review hearing. The statement may summarize 
75.28 	the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the crime and give the victim's recommendation 
75.29 	on whether the inmate should be given supervised release at this time. The commissioner
75.30 	board must consider the victim's statement when making the supervised release decision.
75.31 	(d) When considering whether to give supervised release to an inmate serving a life 
75.32 	sentence under section 609.3455, subdivision 3 or 4, the commissioner board shall consider, 
75.33 	at a minimum, the following: the risk the inmate poses to the community if released, the 
75.34 	inmate's progress in treatment, the inmate's behavior while incarcerated, psychological or 
76.1 	other diagnostic evaluations of the inmate, the inmate's criminal history, and any other 
76.2 	relevant conduct of the inmate while incarcerated or before incarceration. The commissioner
76.3 	board may not give supervised release to the inmate unless:
76.4 	(1) while in prison:
76.5 	(i) the inmate has successfully completed appropriate sex offender treatment;
76.6 	(ii) the inmate has been assessed for chemical dependency needs and, if appropriate, has 
76.7 	successfully completed chemical dependency treatment; and
76.8 	(iii) the inmate has been assessed for mental health needs and, if appropriate, has 
76.9 	successfully completed mental health treatment; and
76.10 	(2) a comprehensive individual release plan is in place for the inmate that ensures that, 
76.11 	after release, the inmate will have suitable housing and receive appropriate aftercare and 
76.12 	community-based treatment. The comprehensive plan also must include a postprison 
76.13 	employment or education plan for the inmate.
76.14 	(e) As used in this subdivision,:
76.15 	(1) "board" means the Indeterminate Sentence Release Board under section 244.049; 
76.16 	and
76.17 	(2) "victim" means the individual who suffered harm as a result of the inmate's crime 
76.18 	or, if the individual is deceased, the deceased's surviving spouse or next of kin.

76.19 	Sec. 31. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.065, is amended to read:
76.20 	244.065 PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT OF INMATES OR SPECIALIZED 
76.21 	PROGRAMMING FOR PREGNANT INMATES OF STATE CORRECTIONAL 
76.22 	INSTITUTIONS IN COMMUNITY.
76.23 		Subdivision 1.Work. When consistent with the public interest and the public safety, 
76.24 	the commissioner of corrections may conditionally release an inmate to work at paid 
76.25 	employment, seek employment, or participate in a vocational training or educational program, 
76.26 	as provided in section 241.26, if the inmate has served at least one half of the term of 
76.27 	imprisonment.
76.28 		Subd. 2.Pregnancy. (a) In the furtherance of public interest and community safety, the 
76.29 	commissioner of corrections may conditionally release:
76.30 	(1) for up to one year postpartum, an inmate who gave birth within eight months of the 
76.31 	date of commitment; and

77.2 	pregnant.
77.3 	(b) The commissioner may conditionally release an inmate under paragraph (a) to

77.6 	requirements as established by the commissioner, including evidence-based parenting skills 
77.7 	programming; working at paid employment; seeking employment; or participating in 
77.8 	vocational training, an educational program, or chemical dependency or mental health 
77.9 	treatment services.
77.10 	(c) The commissioner shall develop policy and criteria to implement this subdivision 
77.11 	according to public safety and generally accepted correctional practice.
77.12 	(d) By April 1 of each year, the commissioner shall report to the chairs and ranking 
77.13 	minority members of the house of representatives and senate committees with jurisdiction 
77.14 	over corrections on the number of inmates released and the duration of the release under 
77.15 	this subdivision for the prior calendar year.

77.16 	Sec. 32. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.19, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
77.17 		Subd. 3.Powers and duties. All county probation officers serving a district court shall 
77.18 	act under the orders of the court in reference to any person committed to their care by the 
77.19 	court, and in the performance of their duties shall have the general powers of a peace officer; 
77.20 	and it shall be their duty to make such investigations with regard to any person as may be 
77.21 	required by the court before, during, or after the trial or hearing, and to furnish to the court 
77.22 	such information and assistance as may be required; to take charge of any person before, 
77.23 	during or after trial or hearing when so directed by the court, and to keep such records and 
77.24 	to make such reports to the court as the court may order.
77.25 	All county probation officers serving a district court shall, in addition, provide probation 
77.26 	and parole services to wards of the commissioner of corrections resident in the counties 
77.27 	they serve, and shall act under the orders of said commissioner of corrections in reference 
77.28 	to any ward committed to their care by the commissioner of corrections.
77.29 	All probation officers serving a district court shall, under the direction of the authority 
77.30 	having power to appoint them, initiate programs for the welfare of persons coming within 
77.31 	the jurisdiction of the court to prevent delinquency and crime and to rehabilitate within the 
77.32 	community persons who come within the jurisdiction of the court and are properly subject 
77.33 	to efforts to accomplish prevention and rehabilitation. They shall, under the direction of the 
78.1 	court, cooperate with all law enforcement agencies, schools, child welfare agencies of a 
78.2 	public or private character, and other groups concerned with the prevention of crime and 
78.3 	delinquency and the rehabilitation of persons convicted of crime and delinquency.
78.4 	All probation officers serving a district court shall make monthly and annual reports to 
78.5 	the commissioner of corrections, on forms furnished by the commissioner, containing such 
78.6 	information on number of cases cited to the juvenile division of district court, offenses, 
78.7 	adjudications, dispositions, and related matters as may be required by the commissioner of 
78.8 	corrections. The reports shall include the information on individuals convicted as an extended 
78.9 	jurisdiction juvenile identified in section 241.016, subdivision 1, paragraph (c).

78.10 	Sec. 33. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.195, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
78.11 		Subd. 2.Detention pending hearing. When it appears necessary to enforce discipline 
78.12 	or to prevent a person on conditional release from escaping or absconding from supervision, 
78.13 	a court services director has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer 
78.14 	or any probation officer in the state serving the district and juvenile courts to detain and 
78.15 	bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever is appropriate, for 
78.16 	disposition. If the person on conditional release commits a violation described in section 
78.17 	609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (a), the court services director must have a reasonable 
78.18 	belief that the order is necessary to prevent the person from escaping or absconding from 
78.19 	supervision or that the continued presence of the person in the community presents a risk 
78.20 	to public safety before issuing a written order. This written order is sufficient authority for 
78.21 	the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person for not more than 72 hours, 
78.22 	excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, pending a hearing before the court or the 
78.23 	commissioner.

78.24 	Sec. 34. [260B.008] USE OF RESTRAINTS.
78.25 	(a) As used in this section, "restraints" means a mechanical or other device that constrains 
78.26 	the movement of a person's body or limbs.
78.27 	(b) Restraints may not be used on a child appearing in court in a proceeding under this 
78.28 	chapter unless the court finds that:
78.29 	(1) the use of restraints is necessary:
78.30 	(i) to prevent physical harm to the child or another; or
78.31 	(ii) to prevent the child from fleeing in situations in which the child presents a substantial 
78.32 	risk of flight from the courtroom; and
79.1 	(2) there are no less restrictive alternatives to restraints that will prevent flight or physical 
79.2 	harm to the child or another, including but not limited to the presence of court personnel, 
79.3 	law enforcement officers, or bailiffs.
79.4 	The finding in clause (1), item (i), may be based, among other things, on the child having 
79.5 	a history of disruptive courtroom behavior or behavior while in custody for any current or 
79.6 	prior offense that has placed others in potentially harmful situations, or presenting a 
79.7 	substantial risk of inflicting physical harm on the child or others as evidenced by past 
79.8 	behavior. The court may take into account the physical structure of the courthouse in 
79.9 	assessing the applicability of the above factors to the individual child.
79.10 	(c) The court shall be provided the child's behavior history and shall provide the child 
79.11 	an opportunity to be heard in person or through counsel before ordering the use of restraints. 
79.12 	If restraints are ordered, the court shall make findings of fact in support of the order.
79.13 	(d) By April 1, 2022, each judicial district shall develop a protocol to address how to 
79.14 	implement and comply with this section. In developing the protocol, a district shall consult 
79.15 	with law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, public defenders within the district, and any 
79.16 	other entity deemed necessary by the district's chief judge.

79.17 	EFFECTIVE DATE. Paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) are effective April 15, 2022. Paragraph 
79.18 	(d) is effective the day following final enactment.

79.19 	Sec. 35. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260B.163, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
79.20 		Subdivision 1.General. (a) Except for hearings arising under section 260B.425, hearings 
79.21 	on any matter shall be without a jury and may be conducted in an informal manner, except 
79.22 	that a child who is prosecuted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile has the right to a jury 
79.23 	trial on the issue of guilt. The rules of evidence promulgated pursuant to section 480.0591
79.24 	and the law of evidence shall apply in adjudicatory proceedings involving a child alleged 
79.25 	to be delinquent, an extended jurisdiction juvenile, or a juvenile petty offender, and hearings 
79.26 	conducted pursuant to section 260B.125 except to the extent that the rules themselves provide 
79.27 	that they do not apply.
79.28 	(b) When a continuance or adjournment is ordered in any proceeding, the court may 
79.29 	make any interim orders as it deems in the best interests of the minor in accordance with 
79.30 	the provisions of sections 260B.001 to 260B.421.
79.31 	(c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the court shall exclude the general 
79.32 	public from hearings under this chapter and shall admit only those persons who, in the 
79.33 	discretion of the court, have a direct interest in the case or in the work of the court. The 
80.1 	court shall permit the victim of a child's delinquent act to attend any related delinquency 
80.2 	proceeding, except that the court may exclude the victim:
80.3 	(1) as a witness under the Rules of Criminal Procedure; and
80.4 	(2) from portions of a certification hearing to discuss psychological material or other 
80.5 	evidence that would not be accessible to the public.
80.6 	The court shall open the hearings to the public in delinquency or extended jurisdiction 
80.7 	juvenile proceedings where the child is alleged to have committed an offense or has been 
80.8 	proven to have committed an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult and 
80.9 	the child was at least 16 years of age at the time of the offense, except that the court may 
80.10 	exclude the public from portions of a certification hearing to discuss psychological material 
80.11 	or other evidence that would not be accessible to the public in an adult proceeding.
80.12 	(d) In all delinquency cases a person named in the charging clause of the petition as a 
80.13 	person directly damaged in person or property shall be entitled, upon request, to be notified 
80.14 	by the court administrator in writing, at the named person's last known address, of (1) the 
80.15 	date of the certification or adjudicatory hearings, and (2) the disposition of the case.

80.16 	Sec. 36. [260B.1755] ALTERNATIVE TO ARREST OF CERTAIN JUVENILE 
80.17 	OFFENDERS AUTHORIZED.
80.18 	(a) A peace officer who has probable cause to believe that a child is a petty offender or 
80.19 	delinquent child may refer the child to a program, including restorative programs, that the 
80.20 	law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the child deems appropriate.
80.21 	(b) If a peace officer or law enforcement agency refers a child to a program under 
80.22 	paragraph (a), the peace officer or law enforcement agency may defer issuing a citation or 
80.23 	a notice to the child to appear in juvenile court, transmitting a report to the prosecuting 
80.24 	authority, or otherwise initiating a proceeding in juvenile court.
80.25 	(c) After receiving notice that a child who was referred to a program under paragraph 
80.26 	(a) successfully completed that program, a peace officer or law enforcement agency shall 
80.27 	not issue a citation or a notice to the child to appear in juvenile court, transmit a report to 
80.28 	the prosecuting authority, or otherwise initiate a proceeding in juvenile court for the conduct 
80.29 	that formed the basis of the referral.
80.30 	(d) This section does not apply to peace officers acting pursuant to an order or warrant 
80.31 	described in section 260B.175, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), or other court order to take a 
80.32 	child into custody.

81.1 	Sec. 37. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260B.176, is amended by adding a subdivision 
81.2 	to read:
81.3 		Subd. 1a.Risk assessment instrument. If a peace officer or probation or parole officer 
81.4 	who took a child into custody does not release the child as provided in subdivision 1, the 
81.5 	peace officer or probation or parole officer shall communicate with or deliver the child to 
81.6 	a juvenile secure detention facility to determine whether the child should be released or 
81.7 	detained. Before detaining a child, the supervisor of the facility shall use an objective and 
81.8 	racially, ethnically, and gender-responsive juvenile detention risk assessment instrument 
81.9 	developed by the commissioner of corrections, county, group of counties, or judicial district, 
81.10 	in consultation with the state coordinator or coordinators of the Minnesota Juvenile Detention 
81.11 	Alternatives Initiative. The risk assessment instrument must assess the likelihood that a 
81.12 	child released from preadjudication detention under this section or section 260B.178 would 
81.13 	endanger others or not return for a court hearing. The instrument must identify the appropriate 
81.14 	setting for a child who might endanger others or not return for a court hearing pending 
81.15 	adjudication, with either continued detention or placement in a noncustodial 
81.16 	community-based supervision setting. The instrument must also identify the type of 
81.17 	noncustodial community-based supervision setting necessary to minimize the risk that a 
81.18 	child who is released from custody will endanger others or not return for a court hearing. 
81.19 	If, after using the instrument, a determination is made that the child should be released, the 
81.20 	person taking the child into custody or the supervisor of the facility shall release the child 
81.21 	as provided in subdivision 1.

81.22 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 15, 2022.

81.23 	Sec. 38. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260B.176, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
81.24 		Subd. 2.Reasons for detention. (a) If the child is not released as provided in subdivision 
81.25 	1, the person taking the child into custody shall notify the court as soon as possible of the 
81.26 	detention of the child and the reasons for detention.
81.27 	(b) No child may be detained in a secure detention facility after being taken into custody 
81.28 	for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless the child is over 
81.29 	the age of 12.
81.30 	(b) (c) No child may be detained in a juvenile secure detention facility or shelter care 
81.31 	facility longer than 36 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, after being taken 
81.32 	into custody for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless a 
81.33 	petition has been filed and the judge or referee determines pursuant to section 260B.178
81.34 	that the child shall remain in detention.
82.1 	(c) (d) No child may be detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup longer than 24 
82.2 	hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, or longer than six hours in an adult jail 
82.3 	or municipal lockup in a standard metropolitan statistical area, after being taken into custody 
82.4 	for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless:
82.5 	(1) a petition has been filed under section 260B.141; and
82.6 	(2) a judge or referee has determined under section 260B.178 that the child shall remain 
82.7 	in detention.
82.8 	After August 1, 1991, no child described in this paragraph may be detained in an adult 
82.9 	jail or municipal lockup longer than 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, 
82.10 	or longer than six hours in an adult jail or municipal lockup in a standard metropolitan 
82.11 	statistical area, unless the requirements of this paragraph have been met and, in addition, a 
82.12 	motion to refer the child for adult prosecution has been made under section 260B.125. 
82.13 	Notwithstanding this paragraph, continued detention of a child in an adult detention facility 
82.14 	outside of a standard metropolitan statistical area county is permissible if:
82.15 	(i) the facility in which the child is detained is located where conditions of distance to 
82.16 	be traveled or other ground transportation do not allow for court appearances within 24 
82.17 	hours. A delay not to exceed 48 hours may be made under this clause; or
82.18 	(ii) the facility is located where conditions of safety exist. Time for an appearance may 
82.19 	be delayed until 24 hours after the time that conditions allow for reasonably safe travel. 
82.20 	"Conditions of safety" include adverse life-threatening weather conditions that do not allow 
82.21 	for reasonably safe travel.
82.22 	The continued detention of a child under clause (i) or (ii) must be reported to the 
82.23 	commissioner of corrections.
82.24 	(d) (e) If a child described in paragraph (c) (d) is to be detained in a jail beyond 24 hours, 
82.25 	excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the judge or referee, in accordance with rules 
82.26 	and procedures established by the commissioner of corrections, shall notify the commissioner 
82.27 	of the place of the detention and the reasons therefor. The commissioner shall thereupon 
82.28 	assist the court in the relocation of the child in an appropriate juvenile secure detention 
82.29 	facility or approved jail within the county or elsewhere in the state, or in determining suitable 
82.30 	alternatives. The commissioner shall direct that a child detained in a jail be detained after 
82.31 	eight days from and including the date of the original detention order in an approved juvenile 
82.32 	secure detention facility with the approval of the administrative authority of the facility. If 
82.33 	the court refers the matter to the prosecuting authority pursuant to section 260B.125, notice 
82.34 	to the commissioner shall not be required.
83.1 	(e) (f) When a child is detained for an alleged delinquent act in a state licensed juvenile 
83.2 	facility or program, or when a child is detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup as 
83.3 	provided in paragraph (c) (d), the supervisor of the facility shall, if the child's parent or legal 
83.4 	guardian consents, have a children's mental health screening conducted with a screening 
83.5 	instrument approved by the commissioner of human services, unless a screening has been 
83.6 	performed within the previous 180 days or the child is currently under the care of a mental 
83.7 	health professional. The screening shall be conducted by a mental health practitioner as 
83.8 	defined in section 245.4871, subdivision 26, or a probation officer who is trained in the use 
83.9 	of the screening instrument. The screening shall be conducted after the initial detention 
83.10 	hearing has been held and the court has ordered the child continued in detention. The results 
83.11 	of the screening may only be presented to the court at the dispositional phase of the court 
83.12 	proceedings on the matter unless the parent or legal guardian consents to presentation at a 
83.13 	different time. If the screening indicates a need for assessment, the local social services 
83.14 	agency or probation officer, with the approval of the child's parent or legal guardian, shall 
83.15 	have a diagnostic assessment conducted, including a functional assessment, as defined in 
83.16 	section 245.4871.

83.17 	Sec. 39. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260C.007, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
83.18 		Subd. 6.Child in need of protection or services. "Child in need of protection or 
83.19 	services" means a child who is in need of protection or services because the child:
83.20 	(1) is abandoned or without parent, guardian, or custodian;
83.21 	(2)(i) has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse as defined in section 260E.03,

84.4 	respond to the infant's life-threatening conditions by providing treatment, including 
84.5 	appropriate nutrition, hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or advanced 
84.6 	practice registered nurse's reasonable medical judgment, will be most likely to be effective 
84.7 	in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, except that the term does not include the failure 
84.8 	to provide treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant 
84.9 	when, in the treating physician's or advanced practice registered nurse's reasonable medical 
84.10 	judgment:
84.11 	(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;
84.12 	(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in 
84.13 	ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be 
84.14 	futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or
84.15 	(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival of 
84.16 	the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;
84.17 	(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be relieved 
84.18 	of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a voluntary

85.7 	terminated or whose custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred to 
85.8 	a relative and there is a case plan prepared by the responsible social services agency 
85.9 	documenting a compelling reason why filing the termination of parental rights petition under

85.11 	Sec. 40. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.025, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
85.12 		Subdivision 1.Peace officers and probation officers serving CCA counties. (a) When

85.14 	escaping or absconding from supervision, the chief executive officer or designee of a 
85.15 	community corrections agency in a CCA county has the authority to issue a written order 
85.16 	directing any peace officer or any probation officer in the state serving the district and 
85.17 	juvenile courts to detain and bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever 
85.18 	is appropriate, for disposition. If the person on conditional release commits a violation 
85.19 	described in section 609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (a), the chief executive officer or 
85.20 	designee must have a reasonable belief that the order is necessary to prevent the person 
85.21 	from escaping or absconding from supervision or that the continued presence of the person 
85.22 	in the community presents a risk to public safety before issuing a written order. This written 
85.23 	order is sufficient authority for the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person 
85.24 	for not more than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, pending a hearing 
85.25 	before the court or the commissioner.
85.26 	(b) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA 
85.27 	county has the authority to issue a written order directing a peace officer or probation officer 
85.28 	serving the district and juvenile courts to release a person detained under paragraph (a) 
85.29 	within 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, without an appearance before 
85.30 	the court or the commissioner. This written order is sufficient authority for the peace officer 
85.31 	or probation officer to release the detained person.
85.32 	(c) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA 
85.33 	county has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer or any probation 
85.34 	officer serving the district and juvenile courts to detain any person on court-ordered pretrial 
86.1 	release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the conditions of pretrial 
86.2 	release. A written order issued under this paragraph is sufficient authority for the peace 
86.3 	officer or probation officer to detain the person.

86.4 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2021, and applies to violations 
86.5 	that occur on or after that date.

86.9 	No county or group of counties electing to provide correctional services pursuant to 
86.10 	sections 401.01 to 401.16 shall be eligible for the subsidy herein provided unless and until 
86.11 	its comprehensive plan shall have been approved by the commissioner. The commissioner 
86.12 	shall, pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate rules establishing standards 
86.13 	of eligibility for counties to receive funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16. To remain eligible 
86.14 	for subsidy counties shall maintain substantial compliance with the minimum standards 
86.15 	established pursuant to sections 401.01 to 401.16 and the policies and procedures governing 
86.16 	the services described in section 401.025 as prescribed by the commissioner. Counties shall 
86.17 	also be in substantial compliance with other correctional operating standards permitted by 
86.18 	law and established by the commissioner and shall report statistics required by the 
86.19 	commissioner including but not limited to information on individuals convicted as an 
86.20 	extended jurisdiction juvenile identified in section 241.016, subdivision 1, paragraph (c). 
86.21 	The commissioner shall review annually the comprehensive plans submitted by participating 
86.22 	counties, including the facilities and programs operated under the plans. The commissioner 
86.23 	is hereby authorized to enter upon any facility operated under the plan, and inspect books 
86.24 	and records, for purposes of recommending needed changes or improvements.
86.25 	When the commissioner shall determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe 
86.26 	that a county or group of counties is not in substantial compliance with minimum standards, 
86.27 	at least 30 days' notice shall be given the county or counties and a hearing conducted by 
86.28 	the commissioner to ascertain whether there is substantial compliance or satisfactory progress 
86.29 	being made toward compliance. The commissioner may suspend all or a portion of any 
86.30 	subsidy until the required standard of operation has been met.

86.31 	Sec. 42. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 609.14, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
86.32 		Subdivision 1.Grounds. (a) When it appears that the defendant has violated any of the 
86.33 	conditions of probation or intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of misconduct 
87.1 	which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, the court may without notice revoke 
87.2 	the stay and direct that the defendant be taken into immediate custody. Revocation should 
87.3 	only be used as a last resort when rehabilitation has failed.
87.4 	(b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the conditions of probation during 
87.5 	the term of the stay, but the term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation 
87.6 	officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate probation revocation proceedings 
87.7 	under the Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time within six months after the expiration 
87.8 	of the stay. The court also may initiate proceedings under these circumstances on its own 
87.9 	motion. If proceedings are initiated within this six-month period, the court may conduct a 
87.10 	revocation hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any time during or 
87.11 	after the six-month period.
87.12 	(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.135 or any law to the contrary, after 
87.13 	proceedings to revoke the stay have been initiated by a court order revoking the stay and 
87.14 	directing either that the defendant be taken into custody or that a summons be issued in 
87.15 	accordance with paragraph (a), the proceedings to revoke the stay may be concluded and 
87.16 	the summary hearing provided by subdivision 2 may be conducted after the expiration of 
87.17 	the stay or after the six-month period set forth in paragraph (b). The proceedings to revoke 
87.18 	the stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary hearing is conducted after the 
87.19 	term of the stay or after the six-month period. The ability or inability to locate or apprehend 
87.20 	the defendant prior to the expiration of the stay or during or after the six-month period shall 
87.21 	not preclude the court from conducting the summary hearing unless the defendant 
87.22 	demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
87.23 	advantage.

87.24 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2021, and applies to violations 
87.25 	that occur on or after that date.

87.26 	Sec. 43. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 609.14, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
87.27 	read:
87.28 		Subd. 1a.Violations where policies favor continued rehabilitation. (a) Correctional 
87.29 	treatment is better provided through a community resource than through confinement, it 
87.30 	would not unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violation if probation was not revoked, 
87.31 	and the policies favoring probation outweigh the need for confinement if a person has not 
87.32 	previously violated a condition of probation or intermediate sanction and does any of the 
87.33 	following in violation of a condition imposed by the court:
88.1 	(1) fails to abstain from the use of controlled substances without a valid prescription, 
88.2 	unless the person is under supervision for a violation of:

88.19 	(8) fails to report contact with a law enforcement agency, unless the person was charged 
88.20 	with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony; or
88.21 	(9) commits any offense for which the penalty is a petty misdemeanor.
88.22 	(b) A violation by a person described in paragraph (a) does not warrant the imposition 
88.23 	or execution of sentence and the court may not direct that the person be taken into immediate 
88.24 	custody unless the court receives a written report, signed under penalty of perjury pursuant 
88.25 	to section 358.116, showing probable cause to believe the person violated probation and 
88.26 	establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the continued presence of the person 
88.27 	in the community would present a risk to public safety. If the court does not direct that the 
88.28 	person be taken into custody, the court may request a supplemental report from the 
88.29 	supervising agent containing:
88.30 	(1) the specific nature of the violation;
89.1 	(2) the response of the person under supervision to the violation, if any; and
89.2 	(3) the actions the supervising agent has taken or will take to address the violation.

96.14 	development of an individualized program plan, along with identified goals for every person

97.23 	and addressing any systemic and programmatic gender and racial disparities that may be 
97.24 	identified in the award of earned incentive release credits.

97.31 	authorized release programs, including the challenge incarceration program, work release,

141.15 	denial must identify specific steps the inmate can take to increase the likelihood that release 
141.16 	will be granted at a future hearing.
141.17 		Subd. 11.Review by court of appeals. When the board has issued its findings, an inmate

144.8 		Subd. 2.Deferred prosecution. (a) The court shall defer prosecution for an eligible 
144.9 	offense committed by a defendant who was, or currently is, a member of the United States 
144.10 	military as provided in this subdivision. The court shall do this at the request of the defendant 
144.11 	upon a finding of guilty after trial or upon a guilty plea.
144.12 	(b) A defendant who requests to be sentenced under this subdivision shall release or 
144.13 	authorize access to military service reports and records relating to the alleged applicable 
144.14 	condition. The court must file the records as confidential and designate that they remain

144.16 	existing resources, an assessment of the defendant. The defendant, through existing records 
144.17 	or licensed professional evaluation, shall establish the diagnosis of the condition, that it was 
144.18 	caused by military service, and that the offense was committed as a result of the condition.

144.22 	the defendant's condition and the condition's connection to service.

144.27 	determination, either party may file a challenge to the determination and demand a hearing 
144.28 	on the defendant's eligibility under this subdivision.
144.29 	(d) If the court makes the determination described in paragraph (c), the court shall, 
144.30 	without entering a judgment of guilty, defer further proceedings and place the defendant 
144.31 	on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period not to 
144.32 	exceed the maximum period provided by law. A court may extend a defendant's term of 
144.33 	probation pursuant to section 609.135, subdivision 2, paragraphs (g) and (h). Conditions 
144.34 	ordered by the court must include treatment, services, rehabilitation, and education sufficient 
145.1 	so that if completed, the defendant would be eligible for discharge and dismissal under 
145.2 	subdivision 3. In addition, the court shall order that the defendant undergo a chemical use 
145.3 	assessment that includes a recommended level of care for the defendant in accordance with

145.7 	defendant has previously received one for a felony offense under this subdivision, the court 
145.8 	may, but is not required to, impose a deferred sentence. If the court does not impose a 
145.9 	deferred sentence, the court may sentence the defendant as otherwise provided in law, 
145.10 	including as provided in subdivision 4.
145.11 	(f) Upon violation of a condition of probation, the court may enter an adjudication of 
145.12 	guilt and proceed as otherwise provided in law, including as provided in subdivision 4.
145.13 	(g) As a condition of probation, the court may order the defendant to attend a local, state, 
145.14 	federal, or private nonprofit treatment program for a period not to exceed the maximum 
145.15 	period for which the defendant could have been incarcerated.
145.16 	(h) The court, when issuing an order under this subdivision that a defendant attend an 
145.17 	established treatment program, shall give preference to a treatment program that has a history 
145.18 	of successfully treating veterans who suffer from applicable conditions caused by military 
145.19 	service, including but not limited to programs operated by the United States Department of 
145.20 	Defense or Veterans Affairs.
145.21 	(i) The court and any assigned treatment program shall collaborate with, when available, 
145.22 	the county veterans service officer and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs 
145.23 	to maximize benefits and services provided to the defendant.
145.24 	(j) If available in the county or judicial district having jurisdiction over the case, the 
145.25 	defendant may be supervised by a veterans treatment court program under subdivision 5. 
145.26 	If there is a veterans treatment court that meets the requirements of subdivision 5 in the 
145.27 	county in which the defendant resides or works, supervision of the defendant may be 
145.28 	transferred to that county or judicial district veterans treatment court program. Upon the 
145.29 	defendant's successful or unsuccessful completion of the program, the veterans treatment 
145.30 	court program shall communicate this information to the court of original jurisdiction for 
145.31 	further action.
145.32 	(k) Sentencing pursuant to this subdivision waives any right to administrative review 
145.33 	pursuant to section 169A.53, subdivision 1, or judicial review pursuant to section 169A.53, 
145.34 	subdivision 2, for a license revocation or cancellation imposed pursuant to section 169A.52, 
146.1 	and also waives any right to administrative review pursuant to section 171.177, subdivision 
146.2 	10, or judicial review pursuant to section 171.177, subdivision 11, for a license revocation 
146.3 	or cancellation imposed pursuant to section 171.177, if that license revocation or cancellation 
146.4 	is the result of the same incident that is being sentenced.
146.5 		Subd. 3.Discharge and dismissal. (a) Upon the expiration of the period of the defendant's 
146.6 	probation the court shall hold a hearing to discharge the defendant from probation and 
146.7 	determine whether to dismiss the proceedings against a defendant who received a deferred 
146.8 	sentence under subdivision 2. The hearing shall be scheduled so that the parties have adequate 
146.9 	time to prepare and present arguments regarding the issue of dismissal. The parties may 
146.10 	submit written arguments to the court prior to the date of the hearing and may make oral 
146.11 	arguments before the court at the hearing. The defendant must be present at the hearing 
146.12 	unless excused under Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure, rule 26.03, subdivision 1, 
146.13 	clause (3).
146.14 	(b) The court shall provide notice to any identifiable victim of the offense at least 15 
146.15 	days before the hearing is held. Notice to victims of the offense under this subdivision must 
146.16 	specifically inform the victim of the right to submit an oral or written statement to the court 
146.17 	at the time of the hearing describing the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the crime 
146.18 	and the victim's recommendation on whether dismissal should be granted or denied. The 
146.19 	judge shall consider the victim's statement when making a decision. If a victim notifies the 
146.20 	prosecutor of an objection to dismissal and is not present at the hearing, the prosecutor shall 
146.21 	make the objections known to the court.
146.22 	(c) The court shall dismiss proceedings against a defendant if the court finds by clear 
146.23 	and convincing evidence that the defendant:
146.24 	(1) is in substantial compliance with the conditions of probation;
146.25 	(2) has successfully participated in court-ordered treatment and services to address the 
146.26 	applicable condition caused by military service;
146.27 	(3) does not represent a danger to the health or safety of victims or others; and
146.28 	(4) has demonstrated significant benefit from court-ordered education, treatment, or 
146.29 	rehabilitation to clearly show that a discharge and dismissal under this subdivision is in the 
146.30 	interests of justice.
146.31 	(d) In determining the interests of justice, the court shall consider, among other factors, 
146.32 	all of the following:
147.1 	(1) the defendant's completion and degree of participation in education, treatment, and 
147.2 	rehabilitation as ordered by the court;
147.3 	(2) the defendant's progress in formal education;
147.4 	(3) the defendant's development of career potential;
147.5 	(4) the defendant's leadership and personal responsibility efforts;
147.6 	(5) the defendant's contribution of service in support of the community;
147.7 	(6) the level of harm to the community from the offense; and
147.8 	(7) the statement of the victim, if any.
147.9 	(e) If the court finds that the defendant does not qualify for discharge and dismissal 
147.10 	under paragraph (c), the court shall enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as otherwise 
147.11 	provided in law, including as provided in subdivision 4.
147.12 	(f) Discharge and dismissal under this subdivision shall be without court adjudication 
147.13 	of guilt, but a not public record of the discharge and dismissal shall be retained by the Bureau 
147.14 	of Criminal Apprehension for the purpose of use by the courts in determining the merits of 
147.15 	subsequent proceedings against the defendant. The not public record may also be opened 
147.16 	only upon court order for purposes of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. 
147.17 	Upon request by law enforcement, prosecution, or corrections authorities, the bureau shall 
147.18 	notify the requesting party of the existence of the not public record and the right to seek a 
147.19 	court order to open the not public record under this paragraph. The court shall forward a 
147.20 	record of any discharge and dismissal under this subdivision to the bureau, which shall 
147.21 	make and maintain the not public record of the discharge and dismissal. The discharge and 
147.22 	dismissal shall not be deemed a conviction for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities 
147.23 	imposed by law upon conviction of a crime or for any other purpose. For purposes of this 
147.24 	paragraph, "not public" has the meaning given in section 13.02, subdivision 8a.
147.25 		Subd. 4.Sentencing departure; waiver of mandatory sentence. (a) This subdivision 
147.26 	applies to defendants who plead or are found guilty of any criminal offense except one for 
147.27 	which registration is required under section 243.166, subdivision 1b.
147.28 	(b) Prior to sentencing, a defendant described in paragraph (a) may present proof to the 
147.29 	court that the defendant has, since the commission of the offense, engaged in rehabilitative 
147.30 	efforts consistent with those described in this section. If the court determines that the 
147.31 	defendant has engaged in substantial rehabilitative efforts and the defendant establishes by 
147.32 	clear and convincing evidence that:
148.1 	(1) the defendant suffered from an applicable condition at the time of the offense;
148.2 	(2) the applicable condition was caused by service in the United States military; and
148.3 	(3) the offense was committed as a result of the applicable condition;
148.4 	the court may determine that the defendant is particularly amenable to probation and order 
148.5 	a mitigated durational or dispositional sentencing departure or a waiver of any statutory 
148.6 	mandatory minimum sentence applicable to the defendant.
148.7 		Subd. 5.Optional veterans treatment court program; procedures for eligible 
148.8 	defendants. A county or judicial district may supervise probation under this section through

148.11 	specialists, probation agents, and any other rehabilitative resources available to the court.

148.13 	or city may establish and operate a veterans pretrial diversion program for offenders eligible

148.21 	sentence a person to life imprisonment without possibility of release under the following 
148.22 	circumstances:

154.5 	substantial and compelling reasons to adjust the individual's sentence. In making this 
154.6 	determination, the court shall consider what impact, if any, a sentence adjustment would 
154.7 	have on public safety, including whether an adjustment would promote the rehabilitation 
154.8 	of the individual, properly reflect the severity of the underlying offense, or reduce sentencing 
154.9 	disparities. In making this determination, the court may consider factors relating to both the

154.12 	(2) the individual's disciplinary record during any period of incarceration;

154.16 	significantly reduced the likelihood that the individual will commit a future offense;
154.17 	(5) the amount of time the individual has served in custody or under supervision; and
154.18 	(6) significant changes in law or sentencing practice since the date of offense.
154.19 	(b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if the court determines that there are 
154.20 	substantial and compelling reasons to adjust the individual's sentence, the court may modify 
154.21 	the sentence in any way provided the adjustment does not:
154.22 	(1) increase the period of confinement or, if the individual is serving a stayed sentence, 
154.23 	increase the period of supervision;
154.24 	(2) reduce or eliminate the amount of court-ordered restitution; or
154.25 	(3) reduce or eliminate a term of conditional release required by law when a court 
154.26 	commits an offender to the custody of the commissioner of corrections.
154.27 	The court may stay imposition or execution of sentence pursuant to section 609.135.
154.28 	(c) A sentence adjustment is not a valid basis to vacate the judgment of conviction, enter 
154.29 	a judgment of conviction for a different offense, or impose sentence for any other offense.
154.30 	(d) The court shall state in writing or on the record the reasons for its decision on the 
154.31 	petition. If the court grants a sentence adjustment, it shall cause a sentencing worksheet as 
155.1 	provided in section 609.115, subdivision 1, to be completed and forwarded to the Sentencing 
155.2 	Guidelines Commission. The sentencing worksheet shall clearly indicate that it is for a 
155.3 	sentence adjustment.

175.8 	The prosecutor shall inform the court whether the context and circumstances of the underlying

196.24 	(2) "home care provider" has the meaning given in section 144A.43.; and
196.25 	(3) "hospice provider" has the meaning given in section 144A.75.
196.26 	(b) Prior to admission to a health care facility or home care services from a home care 
196.27 	provider or hospice services from a hospice provider, a person required to register under 
196.28 	this section shall disclose to:

197.23 	Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.09, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
197.24 		Subd. 5.Promulgation of Sentencing Guidelines. The commission shall promulgate 
197.25 	Sentencing Guidelines for the district court. The guidelines shall be based on reasonable 
197.26 	offense and offender characteristics. The guidelines promulgated by the commission shall 
197.27 	be advisory to the district court and shall establish:
197.28 	(1) the circumstances under which imprisonment of an offender is proper; and
197.29 	(2) a presumptive, fixed sentence for offenders for whom imprisonment is proper, based 
197.30 	on each appropriate combination of reasonable offense and offender characteristics. The 
197.31 	guidelines shall provide for an increase of 20 percent and a decrease of 15 percent in the 
197.32 	presumptive, fixed sentence.
198.1 	The Sentencing Guidelines promulgated by the commission may also establish appropriate 
198.2 	sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper. Any guidelines promulgated 
198.3 	by the commission establishing sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper 
198.4 	shall make specific reference to noninstitutional sanctions, including but not limited to the 
198.5 	following: payment of fines, day fines, restitution, community work orders, work release 
198.6 	programs in local facilities, community based residential and nonresidential programs, 
198.7 	incarceration in a local correctional facility, and probation and the conditions thereof.
198.8 	Although the Sentencing Guidelines are advisory to the district court, the court shall 
198.9 	follow the procedures of the guidelines when it pronounces sentence in a proceeding to 
198.10 	which the guidelines apply by operation of statute. Sentencing pursuant to the Sentencing 
198.11 	Guidelines is not a right that accrues to a person convicted of a felony; it is a procedure 
198.12 	based on state public policy to maintain uniformity, proportionality, rationality, and 
198.13 	predictability in sentencing.
198.14 	In establishing and modifying the Sentencing Guidelines, the primary consideration of 
198.15 	the commission shall be public safety. Promoting public safety includes the promotion of 
198.16 	human rights. "Public safety" means reducing or preventing crime while maintaining the 
198.17 	basic rights, freedoms, and privileges that belong to every person including the right to 
198.18 	dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and freedom from discrimination, and is achieved by 
198.19 	preferring the use of community services to imprisonment or other confinement unless 
198.20 	confinement is necessary to protect the public, promoting the rehabilitation of those convicted 
198.21 	through the provision of evidence-based programming and services, and imposing sanctions 
198.22 	that are the least restrictive necessary to achieve accountability, address the harm for the 
198.23 	offense, and ensure victim safety. The commission shall also consider current sentencing 
198.24 	and release practices; correctional resources, including but not limited to the capacities of 
198.25 	local and state correctional facilities; and the long-term negative impact of the crime on the 
198.26 	community.
198.27 	The provisions of sections 14.001 to 14.69 do not apply to the promulgation of the 
198.28 	Sentencing Guidelines, and the Sentencing Guidelines, including severity levels and criminal 
198.29 	history scores, are not subject to review by the legislative commission to review 
198.30 	administrative rules. However, the commission shall adopt rules pursuant to sections 14.001
198.31 	to 14.69 which establish procedures for the promulgation of the Sentencing Guidelines, 
198.32 	including procedures for the promulgation of severity levels and criminal history scores, 
198.33 	and these rules shall be subject to review by the Legislative Coordinating Commission.

199.15 	(b) The commissioner shall exercise these duties with the goal of promoting public 
199.16 	safety. Promoting public safety includes the promotion of human rights. "Public safety"

199.18 	privileges that belong to every person including the right to dignity, fairness, equality, 
199.19 	respect, and freedom from discrimination, and is achieved by engaging in practices that 
199.20 	include promoting community cohesion, employing meaningful problem-solving strategies,

236.16 	not an individual qualifies for reparations reimbursement under subdivision 1, clause (5),

236.18 	reimbursement to which it is entitled must be made payable solely or jointly to the victim, 
236.19 	if alive, or to the victim's estate or successors, if the victim is deceased.
236.20 		Subd. 1b.Minnesota residents injured elsewhere. (a) A Minnesota resident who is 
236.21 	the victim of a crime committed outside the geographical boundaries of this state but who 
236.22 	otherwise meets the requirements of this section shall have the same rights under this chapter 
236.23 	as if the crime had occurred within this state upon a showing that the state, territory, United 
236.24 	States possession, country, or political subdivision of a country in which the crime occurred 
236.25 	does not have a crime victim reparations reimbursement law covering the resident's injury 
236.26 	or death.
236.27 	(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), a Minnesota resident who is the victim of a crime 
236.28 	involving international terrorism who otherwise meets the requirements of this section has 
236.29 	the same rights under this chapter as if the crime had occurred within this state regardless 
236.30 	of where the crime occurred or whether the jurisdiction has a crime victims reparations
236.31 	reimbursement law.
237.1 		Subd. 2.Limitations on awards. No reparations reimbursement shall be awarded to a 
237.2 	claimant otherwise eligible if:
237.3 	(1) the crime was not reported to the police within 30 days of its occurrence or, if it 
237.4 	could not reasonably have been reported within that period, within 30 days of the time when 
237.5 	a report could reasonably have been made. A victim of criminal sexual conduct in the first, 
237.6 	second, third, or fourth degree who does not report the crime within 30 days of its occurrence 
237.7 	is deemed to have been unable to have reported it within that period;

237.9 	law enforcement officials, based on a review of information available from law enforcement, 
237.10 	prosecutors, and other professionals familiar with the case;
237.11 	(3) the victim or claimant was the offender or an accomplice of the offender or an award 
237.12 	to the claimant would unjustly benefit the offender or an accomplice;
237.13 	(4) the victim or claimant was in the act of committing a crime at the time the injury 
237.14 	occurred;
237.15 	(5) no claim was filed with the board within three years of victim's injury or death; except 
237.16 	that (i) if the claimant was unable to file a claim within that period, then the claim can be 
237.17 	made within three years of the time when a claim could have been filed; and (ii) if the 
237.18 	victim's injury or death was not reasonably discoverable within three years of the injury or 
237.19 	death, then the claim can be made within three years of the time when the injury or death 
237.20 	is reasonably discoverable. The following circumstances do not render a claimant unable 
237.21 	to file a claim for the purposes of this clause: (A) lack of knowledge of the existence of the 
237.22 	Minnesota Crime Victims Reparations Reimbursement Act, (B) the failure of a law 
237.23 	enforcement agency to provide information or assistance to a potential claimant under 
237.24 	section 611A.66, (C) the incompetency of the claimant if the claimant's affairs were being 
237.25 	managed during that period by a guardian, guardian ad litem, conservator, authorized agent,

237.28 	The limitations contained in clauses (1) and (6) do not apply to victims of child abuse. 
237.29 	In those cases the three-year limitation period commences running with the report of the 
237.30 	crime to the police.

238.5 	recouped from a collateral source or collateral sources. Where compensation is readily 
238.6 	available to a claimant from a collateral source, the claimant must take reasonable steps to 
238.7 	recoup from the collateral source before claiming reparations reimbursement;
238.8 	(2) reparations reimbursement shall be denied or reduced to the extent, if any, that the 
238.9 	board deems reasonable because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant or of a 
238.10 	victim through whom the claimant claims. Contributory misconduct may not be based on 
238.11 	current or past affiliation with any particular group; and
238.12 	(3) reparations reimbursement paid to all claimants suffering economic loss as the result 
238.13 	of the injury or death of any one victim shall not exceed $50,000.
