24.10 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 13.825, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
24.11 		Subd. 2.Data classification; court-authorized disclosure. (a) Data collected by a 
24.12 	portable recording system are private data on individuals or nonpublic data, subject to the 
24.13 	following:
24.14 	(1) data that document the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty, 
24.15 	if a notice is required under section 626.553, subdivision 2, or the use of force by a peace 
24.16 	officer that results in substantial bodily harm, as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 7a, 
24.17 	are public;
24.18 	(2) data are public if a subject of the data requests it be made accessible to the public, 
24.19 	except that, if practicable, (i) data on a subject who is not a peace officer and who does not 
24.20 	consent to the release must be redacted, and (ii) data on a peace officer whose identity is 
24.21 	protected under section 13.82, subdivision 17, clause (a), must be redacted;
24.22 	(3) portable recording system data that are active criminal investigative data are governed 
24.23 	by section 13.82, subdivision 7, and portable recording system data that are inactive criminal 
24.24 	investigative data are governed by this section;
24.25 	(4) portable recording system data that are public personnel data under section 13.43, 
24.26 	subdivision 2, clause (5), are public; and
24.27 	(5) data that are not public data under other provisions of this chapter retain that 
24.28 	classification.
24.29 	(b) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, a deceased individual's next of kin, 
24.30 	legal representative of the next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children 
24.31 	is entitled to view any and all recordings from a peace officer's portable recording system, 
25.1 	redacted no more than what is required by law, of an officer's use of deadly force no later 
25.2 	than five business days following an incident where deadly force used by a peace officer 
25.3 	results in the death of an individual, except that a chief law enforcement officer may deny 
25.4 	a request if the investigating agency requests and can articulate a compelling reason as to 
25.5 	why allowing the deceased individual's next of kin, legal representative of next of kin, or 
25.6 	other parent of the deceased individual's children to review the recordings would interfere 
25.7 	with a thorough investigation. If the chief law enforcement officer denies a request under 
25.8 	this paragraph, the involved officer's agency must issue a prompt, written denial and provide 
25.9 	notice to the deceased individual's next of kin, legal representative of the next of kin, or 
25.10 	other parent of the deceased individual's children that relief may be sought from the district 
25.11 	court.
25.12 	(c) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, an involved officer's agency shall 
25.13 	release to the public no later than 14 business days after an incident all body-worn camera 
25.14 	recordings of the incident where a peace officer used deadly force and an individual died, 
25.15 	except that a chief law enforcement officer shall not release the video if the investigating 
25.16 	agency asserts in writing that allowing the public to view the recordings would interfere 
25.17 	with the ongoing investigation.
25.18 	(b) (d) A law enforcement agency may redact or withhold access to portions of data that 
25.19 	are public under this subdivision if those portions of data are clearly offensive to common 
25.20 	sensibilities.
25.21 	(c) (e) Section 13.04, subdivision 2, does not apply to collection of data classified by 
25.22 	this subdivision.
25.23 	(d) (f) Any person may bring an action in the district court located in the county where 
25.24 	portable recording system data are being maintained to authorize disclosure of data that are 
25.25 	private or nonpublic under this section or to challenge a determination under paragraph (b) 
25.26 	to redact or withhold access to portions of data because the data are clearly offensive to 
25.27 	common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the 
25.28 	law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency 
25.29 	must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from 
25.30 	the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released 
25.31 	to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court 
25.32 	shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing the action or to the public outweighs 
25.33 	any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if 
25.34 	the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (b), whether the data are clearly 
25.35 	offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in 
26.1 	camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to 
26.2 	obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

26.3 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.01, subdivision 3a, is amended to read:
26.4 		Subd. 3a.Commissioner, powers and duties. The commissioner of corrections has the 
26.5 	following powers and duties:
26.6 	(a) To accept persons committed to the commissioner by the courts of this state for care, 
26.7 	custody, and rehabilitation.
26.8 	(b) To determine the place of confinement of committed persons in a correctional facility 
26.9 	or other facility of the Department of Corrections and to prescribe reasonable conditions 
26.10 	and rules for their employment, conduct, instruction, and discipline within or outside the 
26.11 	facility. Inmates shall not exercise custodial functions or have authority over other inmates.
26.12 	(c) To administer the money and property of the department.
26.13 	(d) To administer, maintain, and inspect all state correctional facilities.
26.14 	(e) To transfer authorized positions and personnel between state correctional facilities 
26.15 	as necessary to properly staff facilities and programs.
26.16 	(f) To utilize state correctional facilities in the manner deemed to be most efficient and 
26.17 	beneficial to accomplish the purposes of this section, but not to close the Minnesota 
26.18 	Correctional Facility-Stillwater or the Minnesota Correctional Facility-St. Cloud without 
26.19 	legislative approval. The commissioner may place juveniles and adults at the same state 
26.20 	minimum security correctional facilities, if there is total separation of and no regular contact 
26.21 	between juveniles and adults, except contact incidental to admission, classification, and 
26.22 	mental and physical health care.
26.23 	(g) To organize the department and employ personnel the commissioner deems necessary 
26.24 	to discharge the functions of the department, including a chief executive officer for each 
26.25 	facility under the commissioner's control who shall serve in the unclassified civil service 
26.26 	and may, under the provisions of section 43A.33, be removed only for cause.
26.27 	(h) To define the duties of these employees and to delegate to them any of the 
26.28 	commissioner's powers, duties and responsibilities, subject to the commissioner's control 
26.29 	and the conditions the commissioner prescribes.
26.30 	(i) To annually develop a comprehensive set of goals and objectives designed to clearly 
26.31 	establish the priorities of the Department of Corrections. This report shall be submitted to 
27.1 	the governor commencing January 1, 1976. The commissioner may establish ad hoc advisory 
27.2 	committees.
27.3 	(j) To perform these duties with the goal of promoting public safety. Promoting public 
27.4 	safety includes the promotion of human rights. "Public safety" means reducing or preventing 
27.5 	crime while maintaining the basic rights, freedoms, and privileges that belong to every 
27.6 	person, including the right to dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and freedom from 
27.7 	discrimination, and is achieved by diverting people away from the criminal justice system 
27.8 	whenever possible, imposing sanctions that are the least restrictive necessary to achieve 
27.9 	accountability for the offense, preferring the use of community services to imprisonment 
27.10 	or other confinement unless confinement is necessary to protect the public, and promoting 
27.11 	the rehabilitation of those convicted through the provision of evidence-based programming 
27.12 	and services.

27.13 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.09, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
27.14 		Subd. 5.Promulgation of Sentencing Guidelines. The commission shall promulgate 
27.15 	Sentencing Guidelines for the district court. The guidelines shall be based on reasonable 
27.16 	offense and offender characteristics. The guidelines promulgated by the commission shall 
27.17 	be advisory to the district court and shall establish:
27.18 	(1) the circumstances under which imprisonment of an offender is proper; and
27.19 	(2) a presumptive, fixed sentence for offenders for whom imprisonment is proper, based 
27.20 	on each appropriate combination of reasonable offense and offender characteristics. The 
27.21 	guidelines shall provide for an increase of 20 percent and a decrease of 15 percent in the 
27.22 	presumptive, fixed sentence.
27.23 	The Sentencing Guidelines promulgated by the commission may also establish appropriate 
27.24 	sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper. Any guidelines promulgated 
27.25 	by the commission establishing sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper 
27.26 	shall make specific reference to noninstitutional sanctions, including but not limited to the 
27.27 	following: payment of fines, day fines, restitution, community work orders, work release 
27.28 	programs in local facilities, community based residential and nonresidential programs, 
27.29 	incarceration in a local correctional facility, and probation and the conditions thereof.
27.30 	Although the Sentencing Guidelines are advisory to the district court, the court shall 
27.31 	follow the procedures of the guidelines when it pronounces sentence in a proceeding to 
27.32 	which the guidelines apply by operation of statute. Sentencing pursuant to the Sentencing 
27.33 	Guidelines is not a right that accrues to a person convicted of a felony; it is a procedure 
28.1 	based on state public policy to maintain uniformity, proportionality, rationality, and 
28.2 	predictability in sentencing.
28.3 	In establishing and modifying the Sentencing Guidelines, the primary consideration of 
28.4 	the commission shall be public safety. "Public safety" means reducing or preventing crime 
28.5 	while maintaining the basic rights, freedoms, and privileges that belong to every person, 
28.6 	including the right to dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and freedom from discrimination, 
28.7 	and is achieved by diverting people away from the criminal justice system whenever possible, 
28.8 	imposing sanctions that are the least restrictive necessary to achieve accountability for the 
28.9 	offense, preferring the use of community services to imprisonment or other confinement 
28.10 	unless confinement is necessary to protect the public, and promoting the rehabilitation of 
28.11 	those convicted through the provision of evidence-based programming and services. 
28.12 	Promoting public safety includes the promotion of human rights. The commission shall also 
28.13 	consider current sentencing and release practices; correctional resources, including but not 
28.14 	limited to the capacities of local and state correctional facilities; and the long-term negative 
28.15 	impact of the crime on the community.
28.16 	The provisions of sections 14.001 to 14.69 do not apply to the promulgation of the 
28.17 	Sentencing Guidelines, and the Sentencing Guidelines, including severity levels and criminal 
28.18 	history scores, are not subject to review by the legislative commission to review 
28.19 	administrative rules. However, the commission shall adopt rules pursuant to sections 14.001
28.20 	to 14.69 which establish procedures for the promulgation of the Sentencing Guidelines, 
28.21 	including procedures for the promulgation of severity levels and criminal history scores, 
28.22 	and these rules shall be subject to review by the Legislative Coordinating Commission.

28.23 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 253B.18, subdivision 5a, is amended 
28.24 	to read:

28.31 	motivated;
28.32 	(2) "victim" means a person who has incurred loss or harm as a result of a crime the 
28.33 	behavior for which forms the basis for a commitment under this section or chapter 253D;

29.2 	5, and also include juvenile court adjudications, findings under Minnesota Rules of Criminal 
29.3 	Procedure, rule 20.02, that the elements of a crime have been proved, and findings in 
29.4 	commitment cases under this section or chapter 253D that an act or acts constituting a crime 
29.5 	occurred or were part of their course of harmful sexual conduct.
29.6 	(b) A county attorney who files a petition to commit a person under this section or chapter 
29.7 	253D shall make a reasonable effort to provide prompt notice of filing the petition to any 
29.8 	victim of a crime for which the person was convicted. In addition, the county attorney shall 
29.9 	make a reasonable effort to promptly notify the victim of the resolution of the petition and 
29.10 	the process for requesting notification of an individual's change in status as provided in 
29.11 	paragraph (c). A notice shall only be provided to a victim who has submitted a written 
29.12 	request for notification to the prosecutor.
29.13 	(c) A victim may request notification of an individual's discharge or release as provided 
29.14 	in paragraph (d) by submitting a written request for notification to the executive director of 
29.15 	the facility in which the individual is confined. The Department of Corrections or a county 
29.16 	attorney who receives a request for notification from a victim under this section shall 
29.17 	promptly forward the request to the executive director of the treatment facility in which the 
29.18 	individual is confined.
29.19 	(d) Before provisionally discharging, discharging, granting pass-eligible status, approving 
29.20 	a pass plan, or otherwise permanently or temporarily releasing a person committed under 
29.21 	this section from a state-operated treatment program or treatment facility, the head of the 
29.22 	state-operated treatment program or head of the treatment facility shall make a reasonable 
29.23 	effort to notify any victim of a crime for which the person was convicted that the person 
29.24 	may be discharged or released and that the victim has a right to submit a written statement 
29.25 	regarding decisions of the medical director, special review board, or commissioner with 
29.26 	respect to the person. To the extent possible, the notice must be provided at least 14 days 
29.27 	before any special review board hearing or before a determination on a pass plan. 
29.28 	Notwithstanding section 611A.06, subdivision 4, the commissioner shall provide the judicial 
29.29 	appeal panel with victim information in order to comply with the provisions of this section. 
29.30 	The judicial appeal panel shall ensure that the data on victims remains private as provided 
29.31 	for in section 611A.06, subdivision 4. These notices shall only be provided to victims who 
29.32 	have submitted a written request for notification as provided in paragraph (c).
29.33 	(e) The rights under this subdivision are in addition to rights available to a victim under 
29.34 	chapter 611A. This provision does not give a victim all the rights of a "notified person" or 
29.35 	a person "entitled to statutory notice" under subdivision 4a, 4b, or 5 or section 253D.14.

30.1 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 253D.14, subdivision 2, is amended 
30.2 	to read:
30.3 		Subd. 2.Notice of filing petition. A county attorney who files a petition to commit a 
30.4 	person under this chapter shall make a reasonable effort to provide prompt notice of filing 
30.5 	the petition to any victim of a crime for which the person was convicted or was listed as a 
30.6 	victim in the petition of commitment. In addition, the county attorney shall make a reasonable 
30.7 	and good faith effort to promptly notify the victim of the resolution of the process for 
30.8 	requesting the notification of an individual's change in status as provided in section 253D.14, 
30.9 	subdivision 3. A notice shall only be provided to a victim who has submitted a written

104.6 	3, 5, 6, or 7, the court shall determine whether the child unlawfully possessed or sold the

104.8 	commissioner of public safety of its determination and order the commissioner to revoke 
104.9 	the child's driver's license for the applicable time period specified in section 152.0271. If 
104.10 	the child does not have a driver's license or if the child's driver's license is suspended or

104.22 	sex offenders. If the assessment indicates that the child is in need of and amenable to sex 
104.23 	offender treatment, the court shall include in its disposition order a requirement that the 
104.24 	child undergo treatment. Notwithstanding section 13.384, 13.85, 144.291 to 144.298, or

115.24 	board must consider the victim's statement when making the supervised release decision.
115.25 	(d) When considering whether to give supervised release to an inmate serving a life

116.7 	community-based treatment. The comprehensive plan also must include a postprison 
116.8 	employment or education plan for the inmate.

116.23 		Subdivision 1.General. (a) Except for hearings arising under section 260B.425, hearings 
116.24 	on any matter shall be without a jury and may be conducted in an informal manner, except 
116.25 	that a child who is prosecuted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile has the right to a jury 
116.26 	trial on the issue of guilt. The rules of evidence promulgated pursuant to section 480.0591
116.27 	and the law of evidence shall apply in adjudicatory proceedings involving a child alleged 
116.28 	to be delinquent, an extended jurisdiction juvenile, or a juvenile petty offender, and hearings 
116.29 	conducted pursuant to section 260B.125 except to the extent that the rules themselves provide 
116.30 	that they do not apply.
117.1 	(b) When a continuance or adjournment is ordered in any proceeding, the court may 
117.2 	make any interim orders as it deems in the best interests of the minor in accordance with 
117.3 	the provisions of sections 260B.001 to 260B.421.
117.4 	(c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the court shall exclude the general 
117.5 	public from hearings under this chapter and shall admit only those persons who, in the 
117.6 	discretion of the court, have a direct interest in the case or in the work of the court. The 
117.7 	court shall permit the victim of a child's delinquent act to attend any related delinquency 
117.8 	proceeding, except that the court may exclude the victim:
117.9 	(1) as a witness under the Rules of Criminal Procedure; and
117.10 	(2) from portions of a certification hearing to discuss psychological material or other 
117.11 	evidence that would not be accessible to the public.
117.12 	The court shall open the hearings to the public in delinquency or extended jurisdiction 
117.13 	juvenile proceedings where the child is alleged to have committed an offense or has been 
117.14 	proven to have committed an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult and 
117.15 	the child was at least 16 years of age at the time of the offense, except that the court may 
117.16 	exclude the public from portions of a certification hearing to discuss psychological material 
117.17 	or other evidence that would not be accessible to the public in an adult proceeding.
117.18 	(d) In all delinquency cases a person named in the charging clause of the petition as a 
117.19 	person directly damaged in person or property shall be entitled, upon request, to be notified

117.22 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260B.176, is amended by adding a subdivision 
117.23 	to read:
117.24 		Subd. 1a.Risk assessment instrument. If a peace officer or probation or parole officer 
117.25 	who took a child into custody does not release the child as provided in subdivision 1, the 
117.26 	peace officer or probation or parole officer shall communicate with or deliver the child to 
117.27 	a juvenile secure detention facility to determine whether the child should be released or 
117.28 	detained. Before detaining a child, the supervisor of the facility shall use an objective and 
117.29 	racially, ethnically, and gender-responsive juvenile detention risk assessment instrument 
117.30 	developed by the commissioner of corrections, county, group of counties, or judicial district, 
117.31 	in consultation with the state coordinator or coordinators of the Minnesota Juvenile Detention 
117.32 	Alternatives Initiative. The risk assessment instrument must assess the likelihood that a 
117.33 	child released from preadjudication detention under this section or section 260B.178 would 
118.1 	endanger others or not return for a court hearing. The instrument must identify the appropriate 
118.2 	setting for a child who might endanger others or not return for a court hearing pending 
118.3 	adjudication, with either continued detention or placement in a noncustodial 
118.4 	community-based supervision setting. The instrument must also identify the type of 
118.5 	noncustodial community-based supervision setting necessary to minimize the risk that a 
118.6 	child who is released from custody will endanger others or not return for a court hearing. 
118.7 	If, after using the instrument, a determination is made that the child should be released, the 
118.8 	person taking the child into custody or the supervisor of the facility shall release the child 
118.9 	as provided in subdivision 1.

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

118.11 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260B.176, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
118.12 		Subd. 2.Reasons for detention. (a) If the child is not released as provided in subdivision 
118.13 	1, the person taking the child into custody shall notify the court as soon as possible of the 
118.14 	detention of the child and the reasons for detention.
118.15 	(b) No child may be detained in a secure detention facility after being taken into custody 
118.16 	for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless the child is over 
118.17 	the age of 12.
118.18 	(b) (c) No child may be detained in a juvenile secure detention facility or shelter care 
118.19 	facility longer than 36 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, after being taken 
118.20 	into custody for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless a 
118.21 	petition has been filed and the judge or referee determines pursuant to section 260B.178
118.22 	that the child shall remain in detention.
118.23 	(c) (d) No child may be detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup longer than 24 
118.24 	hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, or longer than six hours in an adult jail 
118.25 	or municipal lockup in a standard metropolitan statistical area, after being taken into custody 
118.26 	for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless:
118.27 	(1) a petition has been filed under section 260B.141; and
118.28 	(2) a judge or referee has determined under section 260B.178 that the child shall remain 
118.29 	in detention.
118.30 	After August 1, 1991, no child described in this paragraph may be detained in an adult 
118.31 	jail or municipal lockup longer than 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, 
118.32 	or longer than six hours in an adult jail or municipal lockup in a standard metropolitan 
118.33 	statistical area, unless the requirements of this paragraph have been met and, in addition, a 
119.1 	motion to refer the child for adult prosecution has been made under section 260B.125. 
119.2 	Notwithstanding this paragraph, continued detention of a child in an adult detention facility 
119.3 	outside of a standard metropolitan statistical area county is permissible if:
119.4 	(i) the facility in which the child is detained is located where conditions of distance to 
119.5 	be traveled or other ground transportation do not allow for court appearances within 24 
119.6 	hours. A delay not to exceed 48 hours may be made under this clause; or
119.7 	(ii) the facility is located where conditions of safety exist. Time for an appearance may 
119.8 	be delayed until 24 hours after the time that conditions allow for reasonably safe travel. 
119.9 	"Conditions of safety" include adverse life-threatening weather conditions that do not allow 
119.10 	for reasonably safe travel.
119.11 	The continued detention of a child under clause (i) or (ii) must be reported to the 
119.12 	commissioner of corrections.
119.13 	(d) (e) If a child described in paragraph (c) (d) is to be detained in a jail beyond 24 hours, 
119.14 	excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the judge or referee, in accordance with rules 
119.15 	and procedures established by the commissioner of corrections, shall notify the commissioner 
119.16 	of the place of the detention and the reasons therefor. The commissioner shall thereupon 
119.17 	assist the court in the relocation of the child in an appropriate juvenile secure detention 
119.18 	facility or approved jail within the county or elsewhere in the state, or in determining suitable 
119.19 	alternatives. The commissioner shall direct that a child detained in a jail be detained after 
119.20 	eight days from and including the date of the original detention order in an approved juvenile 
119.21 	secure detention facility with the approval of the administrative authority of the facility. If 
119.22 	the court refers the matter to the prosecuting authority pursuant to section 260B.125, notice 
119.23 	to the commissioner shall not be required.
119.24 	(e) (f) When a child is detained for an alleged delinquent act in a state licensed juvenile 
119.25 	facility or program, or when a child is detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup as 
119.26 	provided in paragraph (c) (d), the supervisor of the facility shall, if the child's parent or legal 
119.27 	guardian consents, have a children's mental health screening conducted with a screening 
119.28 	instrument approved by the commissioner of human services, unless a screening has been 
119.29 	performed within the previous 180 days or the child is currently under the care of a mental 
119.30 	health professional. The screening shall be conducted by a mental health practitioner as 
119.31 	defined in section 245.4871, subdivision 26, or a probation officer who is trained in the use 
119.32 	of the screening instrument. The screening shall be conducted after the initial detention 
119.33 	hearing has been held and the court has ordered the child continued in detention. The results 
119.34 	of the screening may only be presented to the court at the dispositional phase of the court 
120.1 	proceedings on the matter unless the parent or legal guardian consents to presentation at a 
120.2 	different time. If the screening indicates a need for assessment, the local social services 
120.3 	agency or probation officer, with the approval of the child's parent or legal guardian, shall 
120.4 	have a diagnostic assessment conducted, including a functional assessment, as defined in 
120.5 	section 245.4871.

120.6 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 260C.007, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
120.7 		Subd. 6.Child in need of protection or services. "Child in need of protection or

120.11 	subdivision 18 or 20, (ii) resides with or has resided with a victim of child abuse as defined 
120.12 	in subdivision 5 or domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13, (iii) resides with or

120.28 	in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, except that the term does not include the failure 
120.29 	to provide treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant 
120.30 	when, in the treating physician's or advanced practice registered nurse's reasonable medical 
120.31 	judgment:
120.32 	(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;
121.1 	(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in 
121.2 	ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be 
121.3 	futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or
121.4 	(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival of 
121.5 	the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;
121.6 	(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be relieved 
121.7 	of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a voluntary

125.1 	section 609A.015, or a petition is authorized under section 609A.02, subdivision 3; or other 
125.2 	applicable law. The remedy available is limited to a court order sealing the records and

130.8 	granted only upon clear and convincing evidence that it would yield a benefit to the petitioner 
130.9 	commensurate with the disadvantages to the public and public safety of:
130.10 	(1) sealing the record; and
130.11 	(2) burdening the court and public authorities to issue, enforce, and monitor an 
130.12 	expungement order.
130.13 	(b) Except as otherwise provided by this paragraph, if the petitioner is petitioning for 
130.14 	the sealing of a criminal record under section 609A.02, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause

130.16 	whose records would be affected establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the 
130.17 	interests of the public and public safety outweigh the disadvantages to the petitioner of not 
130.18 	sealing the record.
130.19 	(c) In making a determination under this subdivision, the court shall consider:
130.20 	(1) the nature and severity of the underlying crime, the record of which would be sealed;
130.21 	(2) the risk, if any, the petitioner poses to individuals or society;
130.22 	(3) the length of time since the crime occurred;
130.23 	(4) the steps taken by the petitioner toward rehabilitation following the crime;
130.24 	(5) aggravating or mitigating factors relating to the underlying crime, including the 
130.25 	petitioner's level of participation and context and circumstances of the underlying crime;
130.26 	(6) the reasons for the expungement, including the petitioner's attempts to obtain 
130.27 	employment, housing, or other necessities;

130.29 	(8) the petitioner's record of employment and community involvement;
130.30 	(9) the recommendations of interested law enforcement, prosecutorial, and corrections 
130.31 	officials;
131.1 	(10) the recommendations of victims or whether victims of the underlying crime were 
131.2 	minors;
131.3 	(11) the amount, if any, of restitution outstanding, past efforts made by the petitioner 
131.4 	toward payment, and the measures in place to help ensure completion of restitution payment

134.5 	The Board of Pardons shall consist of the governor, the chief justice of the supreme 
134.6 	court, and the attorney general. The governor, in conjunction with the board, may grant 
134.7 	pardons and reprieves and commute the sentence of any person convicted of any offense 
134.8 	against under the laws of the this state, in the manner and under the conditions and rules 
134.9 	hereinafter prescribed, but not otherwise in this chapter. A majority vote of the board is 
134.10 	required for pardons and commutations with the governor in that majority.

134.11 	Sec. 29. [638.09] CLEMENCY REVIEW COMMISSION.
134.12 	(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 15, the Clemency Review Commission 
134.13 	is established to review applications for pardons or commutations before they are considered 
134.14 	by the Board of Pardons. By majority vote, the commission shall make a recommendation 
134.15 	on each eligible application as to whether it should be granted or denied. The commission 
134.16 	shall provide its recommendations to the board with the vote of each commission member 
134.17 	reported in writing.
134.18 	(b) The commission shall consist of nine members, each serving a four-year term. The 
134.19 	governor, the attorney general, and the chief justice of the supreme court shall each appoint 
134.20 	three members and replace members upon expiration of the members' terms. In the event 
134.21 	of a vacancy, the board member who selected the previous incumbent shall make an interim 
134.22 	appointment to expire at the end of the prior incumbent's four-year term. A person may

134.27 	day or part thereof spent on commission activities. Each member shall be reimbursed for 
134.28 	all reasonable expenses actually paid or incurred by that member in the performance of 
134.29 	official duties.

135.3 	Sec. 30. [638.10] PARDONS AND COMMUTATIONS.
135.4 		Subdivision 1.Pardons and commutations. (a) The Board of Pardons may pardon a 
135.5 	criminal conviction imposed under the laws of this state or commute a criminal sentence 
135.6 	imposed by a court of this state to time served or a lesser sentence. Every pardon or 
135.7 	commutation shall be in writing and shall have no force or effect unless granted by a majority 
135.8 	vote of the board with the governor in that majority. Every conditional pardon shall state 
135.9 	the terms and conditions upon which it was granted and every commutation shall specify 
135.10 	the terms of the commuted sentence.
135.11 	(b) When granted, a pardon has the effect of setting aside the conviction and purging 
135.12 	the conviction from the person's record. The person then is not required to disclose the 
135.13 	conviction at any time or place other than in a judicial proceeding or as part of the licensing 
135.14 	process for peace officers.
135.15 		Subd. 2.Eligibility for a pardon. (a) Any person convicted of a crime in any court of 
135.16 	this state may apply for a pardon of the person's conviction on or after five years from the 
135.17 	date of the expiration of the person's sentence or the date of the person's discharge. Upon 
135.18 	a showing of unusual circumstances and special need, the board may waive the required 
135.19 	waiting period by a majority vote with the governor in that majority.
135.20 	(b) The Clemency Review Commission shall review all requests for a waiver of the 
135.21 	waiting period and make recommendations by majority vote to the board. Consideration of 
135.22 	requests to waive the waiting period are exempt from the meeting requirements of this 
135.23 	chapter.
135.24 		Subd. 3.Eligibility for a commutation. (a) Any person may apply for a commutation 
135.25 	of an unexpired criminal sentence imposed by a court of this state, including those confined 
135.26 	in a correctional facility or on probation, parole, supervised release, or conditional release. 
135.27 	An application for commutation may not be filed until the date that the person has served 
135.28 	at least one-half of the sentence imposed or on or after five years from the date of the 
135.29 	conviction, whichever is less. Upon a showing of unusual circumstances and special need, 
135.30 	the board may waive the required waiting period by a majority vote with the governor in 
135.31 	that majority.
136.1 	(b) The commission shall review all requests for a waiver of the waiting period and 
136.2 	make recommendations by majority vote to the board. Consideration of requests to waive 
136.3 	the waiting period are exempt from the meeting requirements of this chapter.
136.4 		Subd. 4.Filing of a pardon or commutation. After granting a pardon or commutation, 
136.5 	the board shall file a copy of the pardon or commutation with the district court of the county 
136.6 	in which the conviction and sentence were imposed. In the case of a pardon, the court shall 
136.7 	order the conviction set aside, include a copy of the pardon in the court file, and send copies 
136.8 	of the order and the pardon to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. In the case of a 
136.9 	commutation, the court shall amend the sentence to reflect the specific relief granted by the 
136.10 	board, include a copy of the commutation in the court file, and send copies of the amended 
136.11 	sentencing order and commutation to the commissioner of corrections and the Bureau of 
136.12 	Criminal Apprehension.
136.13 		Subd. 5.Reapplication. (a) Once an application for a pardon or commutation has been 
136.14 	considered and denied on the merits, no subsequent application may be filed for five years 
136.15 	after the date of the most recent denial unless permission is granted from at least two board 
136.16 	members. A person may request permission to reapply prior to the expiration of the five-year 
136.17 	period based only on new and substantial information that was not and could not have been 
136.18 	previously considered by the board or the commission. If a request to reapply contains new 
136.19 	and substantial information, the commission shall review the request and make a 
136.20 	recommendation by majority vote to the board. Consideration of requests to reapply are 
136.21 	exempt from the meeting requirements under this chapter.
136.22 	(b) The denial or grant of an application for a commutation of sentence does not preclude 
136.23 	a person from later seeking a pardon of the criminal conviction once the eligibility 
136.24 	requirements of subdivision 2 have been satisfied.

136.25 	Sec. 31. [638.11] APPLICATIONS.
136.26 	(a) Each application for a pardon or commutation shall be in writing, signed under oath

138.11 	the commission. The commission may treat a victim's statement as confidential and not 
138.12 	disclose the statement to the applicant or the public if there is or has been a recent order for 
138.13 	protection, restraining order, or other no contact order prohibiting the applicant from 
138.14 	contacting the victim. In addition, any law enforcement agency may appear and speak at

138.30 	to that recommendation, it shall be presumed that the board concurs with the adverse 
138.31 	recommendation and that the application has been considered and denied on the merits. All

139.8 	deems appropriate, including but not limited to:
139.9 	(1) the nature, seriousness, circumstances, and age of the applicant's offense;
139.10 	(2) the successful completion or revocation of previous probation, parole, supervised 
139.11 	release, or conditional release;
139.12 	(3) the number, nature, and circumstances of the applicant's other criminal convictions;
139.13 	(4) the extent to which the applicant has demonstrated rehabilitation through 
139.14 	postconviction conduct, character, and reputation;
139.15 	(5) the extent to which the applicant has accepted responsibility, demonstrated remorse, 
139.16 	and made restitution to victims;
139.17 	(6) whether the sentence is clearly excessive in light of the applicant's offense, criminal 
139.18 	history, and any sentence received by an accomplice, with due regard given to any plea 
139.19 	agreement, the sentencing judge's views, and the sentencing ranges established by law;

139.21 	of society that the applicant receive clemency;
139.22 	(8) recommendations from victims, sentencing judges, and prosecuting attorneys;

139.27 		Subd. 2.Denial recommendation. The commission may recommend denial without a 
139.28 	hearing of an application for a commutation when the applicant is presently challenging the 
139.29 	conviction or sentence through court proceedings, has failed to exhaust all available state 
139.30 	court remedies for challenging the sentence, or the matter should first be considered by the 
139.31 	parole authority.

140.1 	Sec. 35. [638.15] ACCESS TO RECORDS; ISSUANCE OF PROCESS.
140.2 		Subdivision 1.Access to records. Upon receipt of an application for a pardon or

140.5 	agency, or state agency. The commission and board shall have access to sealed court records, 
140.6 	presentence investigation reports, police reports, criminal history reports, prison records,

152.19 	The Interstate Compact for Juveniles is enacted into law and entered into with all other

152.21 	ARTICLE I
152.22 	PURPOSE
152.23 	The compacting states to this Interstate Compact recognize that each state is responsible 
152.24 	for the proper supervision or return of juveniles, delinquents, and status offenders who are 
152.25 	on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped, or run away from supervision 
152.26 	and control and in so doing have endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The 
152.27 	compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible for the safe return of juveniles 
152.28 	who have run away from home and in doing so have left their state of residence. The 
152.29 	compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the Crime Control Act, United 
152.30 	States Code, title 4, section 112 (1965), has authorized and encouraged compacts for 
152.31 	cooperative efforts and mutual assistance in the prevention of crime.
153.1 	It is the purpose of this compact, through means of joint and cooperative action among 
153.2 	the compacting states to:
153.3 	(A) ensure that the adjudicated juveniles and status offenders subject to this compact 
153.4 	are provided adequate supervision and services in the receiving state as ordered by the 
153.5 	adjudicating judge or parole authority in the sending state;
153.6 	(B) ensure that the public safety interests of the citizens, including the victims of juvenile 
153.7 	offenders, in both the sending and receiving states are adequately protected;
153.8 	(C) return juveniles who have run away, absconded, or escaped from supervision or 
153.9 	control or have been accused of an offense to the state requesting their return;
153.10 	(D) make contracts for the cooperative institutionalization in public facilities in member 
153.11 	states for delinquent youth needing special services;
153.12 	(E) provide for the effective tracking and supervision of juveniles;
153.13 	(F) equitably allocate the costs, benefits, and obligations of the compact states;
153.14 	(G) establish procedures to manage the movement between states of juvenile offenders 
153.15 	released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts, juvenile departments, or any 
153.16 	other criminal or juvenile justice agency which has jurisdiction over juvenile offenders;
153.17 	(H) insure immediate notice to jurisdictions where defined juvenile offenders are 
153.18 	authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines;
153.19 	(I) establish procedures to resolve pending charges (detainers) against juvenile offenders 
153.20 	prior to transfer or release to the community under the terms of this compact;
153.21 	(J) establish a system of uniform data collection on information pertaining to juveniles 
153.22 	subject to this compact that allows access by authorized juvenile justice and criminal justice 
153.23 	officials, and regular reporting of compact activities to heads of state; executive, judicial, 
153.24 	and legislative branches; and juvenile criminal justice administrators;
153.25 	(K) monitor compliance with rules governing interstate movement of juveniles and 
153.26 	initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance;
153.27 	(L) coordinate training and education regarding the regulation of interstate movement 
153.28 	of juveniles for officials involved in such activity; and
153.29 	(M) coordinate the implementation and operation of the compact with the Interstate 
153.30 	Compact for the Placement of Children, the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender 
153.31 	Supervision, and other compacts affecting juveniles particularly in those cases where 
153.32 	concurrent or overlapping supervision issues arise.
154.1 	It is the policy of the compacting states that the activities conducted by the Interstate 
154.2 	Commission created herein are the information of public policies and therefore are public 
154.3 	business. Furthermore, the compacting states shall cooperate and observe their individual 
154.4 	and collective duties and responsibilities for the prompt return and acceptance of juveniles 
154.5 	subject to the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact shall be reasonably

161.33 	ARTICLE VI
161.34 	RULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
162.1 	1. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate and publish rules in order to effectively 
162.2 	and efficiently achieve the purposes of the compact.
162.3 	2. Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in this article and the bylaws 
162.4 	and rules adopted pursuant thereto. Such rulemaking shall substantially conform to the 
162.5 	principles of the "Model State Administrative Procedures Act," 1981 Act, Uniform Laws 
162.6 	Annotated, Vol. 15, page 1 (2000), or such other administrative procedures act, as the 
162.7 	Interstate Commission deems appropriate consistent with due process requirements under 
162.8 	the United States Constitution as now or hereafter interpreted by the United States Supreme 
162.9 	Court. All rules and amendments shall become binding as of the date specified, as published 
162.10 	with the final version of the rule as approved by the commission.
162.11 	3. When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission shall, at a minimum:
162.12 	a. publish the proposed rule's entire text stating the reasons for that proposed rule;
162.13 	b. allow and invite any and all persons to submit written data, facts, opinions, and 
162.14 	arguments, which information shall be added to the record, and be made publicly available;
162.15 	c. provide an opportunity for an informal hearing if petitioned by ten or more persons; 
162.16 	and
162.17 	d. promulgate a final rule and its effective date, if appropriate, based on input from state 
162.18 	or local officials, or interested parties.
162.19 	4. The Interstate Commission shall allow, not later than 60 days after a rule is 
162.20 	promulgated, any interested person to file a petition in the United States District Court for 
162.21 	the District of Columbia or in the federal District Court where the Interstate Commission's 
162.22 	principal office is located for judicial review of such rule. If the court finds that the Interstate 
162.23 	Commission's action is not supported by substantial evidence in the rulemaking record, the 
162.24 	court shall hold the rule unlawful and set it aside. For purposes of this subsection, evidence 
162.25 	is substantial if it would be considered substantial evidence under the Model (State) 
162.26 	Administrative Procedures Act.
162.27 	5. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states rejects a rule, those states 
162.28 	may, by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, 
162.29 	cause that such rule shall have no further force and effect in any compacting state.
162.30 	6. The existing rules governing the operation of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles 
162.31 	superceded by this act shall be null and void 12 months after the first meeting of the Interstate 
162.32 	Commission created hereunder.
163.1 	7. Upon determination by the Interstate Commission that a state of emergency exists, it 
163.2 	may promulgate an emergency rule which shall become effective immediately upon adoption, 
163.3 	provided that the usual rulemaking procedures provided hereunder shall be retroactively 
163.4 	applied to said rule as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 90 days after the effective 
163.5 	date of the emergency rule.

163.25 	state or local entity deemed responsible by the compact administrator for a default as 
163.26 	determined by the Interstate Commission under Article XI.
163.27 	Section B. Dispute resolution.
163.28 	1. The compacting states shall report to the Interstate Commission on all issues and

164.2 	resolution for disputes among the compacting states.
164.3 	3. The Interstate Commission, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall enforce 
164.4 	the provisions and rules of this compact using any or all means set forth in Article XI of

164.13 	Commission's annual budget as approved each year. The aggregate annual assessment 
164.14 	amount shall be allocated based upon a formula to be determined by the Interstate 
164.15 	Commission, taking into consideration the population of each compacting state and the 
164.16 	volume of interstate movement of juveniles in each compacting state, and shall promulgate 
164.17 	a rule binding upon all compacting states which governs said assessment.
164.18 	3. The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of any kind prior to securing 
164.19 	the funds adequate to meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission pledge the credit 
164.20 	of any of the compacting states, except by and with the authority of the compacting state.
164.21 	4. The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and 
164.22 	disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be subject 
164.23 	to the audit and accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However, all receipts 
164.24 	and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate Commission shall be audited yearly

164.31 	or any other financial obligation imposed under this compact is effective against the state 
164.32 	only to the extent that money to pay the assessment or meet the financial obligation has 
164.33 	been appropriated and deposited in the fund established in this paragraph.

166.32 	and every compacting state; provided that a compacting state may withdraw from the 
166.33 	compact specifically repealing the statute, which enacted the compact into law.
166.34 	2. The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repeal.

167.11 	Section B. Technical assistance, fines, suspension, termination, and default.
167.12 	1. If the Interstate Commission determines that any compacting state has at any time 
167.13 	defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact, 
167.14 	or the bylaws or duly promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission may impose any or all 
167.15 	of the following penalties:
167.16 	a. remedial training and technical assistance as directed by the Interstate Commission;
167.17 	b. alternative dispute resolution;

167.19 	Interstate Commission;

167.21 	only after all other reasonable means of securing compliance under the bylaws and rules 
167.22 	have been exhausted and the Interstate Commission has therefore determined that the 
167.23 	offending state is in default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by the Interstate 
167.24 	Commission to the governor, the chief justice, or the chief judicial officer of the state; the 
167.25 	majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature; and the state council. The 
167.26 	grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting state to perform

168.2 	and benefits conferred by this compact shall be terminated from the effective date of 
168.3 	termination.
168.4 	2. Within 60 days of the effective date of termination of a defaulting state, the commission 
168.5 	shall notify the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the majority and minority 
168.6 	leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council of such termination.
168.7 	3. The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities 
168.8 	incurred through the effective date of termination including any obligations, the performance 
168.9 	of which extends beyond the effective date of termination.
168.10 	4. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to the defaulting state 
168.11 	unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and 
168.12 	the defaulting state.
168.13 	5. Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state requires both a 
168.14 	reenactment of the compact by the defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate 
168.15 	Commission pursuant to the rules.

168.19 	Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its offices, 
168.20 	to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, its duly promulgated rules and 
168.21 	bylaws, against any compacting state in default. In the event judicial enforcement is 
168.22 	necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including 
168.23 	reasonable attorney fees.
168.24 	Section D. Dissolution of compact.
168.25 	1. The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the 
168.26 	compacting state, which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state.
168.27 	2. Upon the dissolution of this compact, the compact becomes null and void and shall 
168.28 	be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission 
168.29 	shall be concluded and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.

169.18 	Commission actions, and upon a majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate 
169.19 	Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning of interpretation.
169.20 	4. In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the constitutional limits imposed 
169.21 	on the legislature of any compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction 
169.22 	sought to be conferred by such provision upon the Interstate Commission shall be ineffective 
169.23 	and such obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction shall remain in the compacting state 
169.24 	and shall be exercised by the agency thereof to which such obligations, duties, powers, or 
169.25 	jurisdiction are delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes effective.

170.16 		Subd. 2a.Prohibition. The commissioner of corrections, local units of government, and 
170.17 	community corrections agencies are prohibited from assessing and collecting correctional 
170.18 	fees from persons on probation, parole, supervised release, or conditional release except as 
170.19 	otherwise provided in this section.
170.20 		Subd. 3.Fee collection. (a) The commissioner of corrections may impose and collect 
170.21 	fees from individuals on probation and supervised release at any time while the offender is 
170.22 	under sentence or after the sentence has been discharged.
170.23 	(b) The commissioner may use any available civil means of debt collection in collecting 
170.24 	a correctional fee.
170.25 		Subd. 4.Exemption from fee. The commissioner of corrections may waive payment 
170.26 	of the fee if the commissioner determines that the offender does not have the ability to pay 
170.27 	the fee, the prospects for payment are poor, or there are extenuating circumstances justifying 
170.28 	waiver of the fee. Instead of waiving the fee, the commissioner may require the offender to 
170.29 	perform community work service as a means of paying the fee.
170.30 		Subd. 5.Restitution payment priority. If an offender has been ordered by a court to 
170.31 	pay restitution, the offender shall be obligated to pay the restitution ordered before paying 
171.1 	the correctional fee. However, if the offender is making reasonable payments to satisfy the 
171.2 	restitution obligation, the commissioner may also collect a correctional fee.
171.3 		Subd. 6.Use of fees. Excluding correctional fees collected from offenders supervised 
171.4 	by department agents under the authority of section 244.19, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), 
171.5 	clause (3), all correctional fees collected under this section go to the general fund. Fees 
171.6 	collected by agents under the authority of section 244.19, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), 
171.7 	clause (3), shall go to the county treasurer in the county where supervision is provided. 
171.8 	These fees may only be used in accordance with section 244.18, subdivision 6.
171.9 		Subd. 7.Annual report. Beginning January 15, 2001, the commissioner shall submit 
171.10 	an annual report on the implementation of this section to the chairs and ranking minority 
171.11 	members of the senate and house of representatives committees and divisions with jurisdiction 
171.12 	over criminal justice funding and policy. At a minimum, the report shall include information 
171.13 	on the types of correctional services for which fees were imposed, the aggregate amount of 
171.14 	fees imposed, and the amount of fees collected.
171.15 		Subd. 8.Sex offender treatment fee. The commissioner of corrections may authorize 
171.16 	sex offender treatment providers to charge and collect treatment co-pays from all offenders 
171.17 	in their treatment program. The amount of treatment co-pay assessed to each offender is 
171.18 	based upon a fee schedule approved by the commissioner. Fees collected under this authority 
171.19 	are used by the treatment provider to fund the cost of treatment.

171.20 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2023.

171.21 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 243.05, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
171.22 		Subdivision 1.Conditional release. (a) The commissioner of corrections may parole 
171.23 	any person sentenced to confinement in any state correctional facility for adults under the 
171.24 	control of the commissioner of corrections, provided that:
171.25 	(1) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder before May 1, 1980, other 
171.26 	than murder committed in violation of clause (1) of section 609.185 who has not been 
171.27 	previously convicted of a felony shall be paroled without having served 20 years, less the 
171.28 	diminution that would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 20 
171.29 	years;
171.30 	(2) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder before May 1, 1980, who 
171.31 	has been previously convicted of a felony or though not previously convicted of a felony 
171.32 	is serving a life sentence for murder in the first degree committed in violation of clause (1) 
172.1 	of section 609.185 shall be paroled without having served 25 years, less the diminution 
172.2 	which would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 25 years;
172.3 	(3) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963, who would be eligible for parole 
172.4 	had the inmate been sentenced after September 1, 1963, shall be eligible for parole; and
172.5 	(4) any new rule or policy or change of rule or policy adopted by the commissioner of 
172.6 	corrections which has the effect of postponing eligibility for parole has prospective effect 
172.7 	only and applies only with respect to persons committing offenses after the effective date 
172.8 	of the new rule or policy or change.
172.9 	(b) Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the legal custody and 
172.10 	under the control of the commissioner, subject at any time to be returned to a facility of the 
172.11 	Department of Corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment of convicted 
172.12 	persons and the parole rescinded by the commissioner.
172.13 	(c) The written order of the commissioner of corrections, is sufficient authority for any 
172.14 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
172.15 	and place in actual custody any person on parole or supervised release. In addition, when 
172.16 	it appears necessary in order to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and 
172.17 	probation agent or state correctional investigator may, without order of warrant, take and 
172.18 	detain a parolee or person on supervised release or work release and bring the person to the 
172.19 	commissioner for action.
172.20 	(d) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
172.21 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
172.22 	and place in actual custody any person on probation under the supervision of the 
172.23 	commissioner pursuant to section 609.135. Additionally, when it appears necessary in order 
172.24 	to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and probation agent or state 
172.25 	correctional investigator may, without an order, retake and detain a probationer and bring 
172.26 	the probationer before the court for further proceedings under section 609.14.
172.27 	(e) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
172.28 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to detain 
172.29 	any person on pretrial release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the 
172.30 	conditions of pretrial release.
172.31 	(f) Persons conditionally released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
172.32 	commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be placed within or outside 
172.33 	the boundaries of the state at the discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, 
172.34 	and the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced according to their conduct.
173.1 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, in considering applications for 
173.2 	conditional release or discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral argument 
173.3 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
173.4 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
173.5 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise, 
173.6 	as to the previous history, physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate and, to 
173.7 	that end, has the authority to require the attendance of the chief executive officer of any 
173.8 	state adult correctional facility and the production of the records of these facilities, and to 
173.9 	compel the attendance of witnesses. The commissioner is authorized to administer oaths to 
173.10 	witnesses for these purposes.
173.11 	(h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents may 
173.12 	require a person who is under the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
173.13 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
173.14 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
173.15 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
173.16 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
173.17 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
173.18 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
173.19 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
173.20 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
173.21 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
173.22 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
173.23 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
173.24 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
173.25 	period.
173.26 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
173.27 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
173.28 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
173.29 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
173.30 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
173.31 	under the circumstances.
173.32 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
173.33 	(i) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation 
173.34 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
174.1 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole or probation 
174.2 	agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
174.3 	not limited to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If a probation or parole agent 
174.4 	determines that community options are appropriate, the agent shall seek to restructure the 
174.5 	offender's terms of release to incorporate those options. If an offender on probation stipulates 
174.6 	in writing to restructure the terms of release, a probation agent must forward a report to the 
174.7 	district court containing:
174.8 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
174.9 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
174.10 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
174.11 	the restructuring of probation.
174.12 	The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by a 
174.13 	judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation and amend the terms of 
174.14 	the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135. If a nonviolent controlled substance 
174.15 	offender's parole or probation is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place 
174.16 	the offender in a local jail. For purposes of this paragraph, "nonviolent controlled substance 
174.17 	offender" is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 
174.18 	2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means any violation of a court order 
174.19 	of probation or a condition of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that 
174.20 	is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or petition.

174.21 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.05, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
174.22 		Subd. 3.Sanctions for violation. If an inmate violates the conditions of the inmate's 
174.23 	supervised release imposed by the commissioner, the commissioner may:
174.24 	(1) continue the inmate's supervised release term, with or without modifying or enlarging 
174.25 	the conditions imposed on the inmate, or transferring the inmate's case to a specialized 
174.26 	caseload; or
174.27 	(2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison the inmate for the appropriate 
174.28 	period of time.
174.29 	Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance an offender's supervised release 
174.30 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
174.31 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, the commissioner 
174.32 	must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but not 
174.33 	limited to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If the commissioner determines that 
175.1 	community options are appropriate, the commissioner shall restructure the inmate's terms 
175.2 	of release to incorporate those options. If a nonviolent controlled substance offender's 
175.3 	supervised release is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place the offender 
175.4 	in a local jail. For purposes of this subdivision, "nonviolent controlled substance offender" 
175.5 	is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 2, clauses 
175.6 	(1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means a violation of a condition of supervised 
175.7 	release, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that is alleged in a formal complaint, 
175.8 	citation, or petition.
175.9 	The period of time for which a supervised release may be revoked may not exceed the 
175.10 	period of time remaining in the inmate's sentence, except that if a sex offender is sentenced 
175.11 	and conditionally released under Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 609.108, subdivision 5, 
175.12 	the period of time for which conditional release may be revoked may not exceed the balance 
175.13 	of the conditional release term.

175.14 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.19, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
175.15 		Subdivision 1.Appointment; joint services; state services. (a) If a county or group of 
175.16 	counties has established a human services board pursuant to chapter 402, the district court 
175.17 	may appoint one or more county probation officers as necessary to perform court services, 
175.18 	and the human services board shall appoint persons as necessary to provide correctional 
175.19 	services within the authority granted in chapter 402. In all counties of more than 200,000 
175.20 	population, which have not organized pursuant to chapter 402, the district court shall appoint 
175.21 	one or more persons of good character to serve as county probation officers during the 
175.22 	pleasure of the court. All other counties shall provide adult misdemeanant and juvenile 
175.23 	probation services to district courts in one of the following ways:
175.24 	(1) the court, with the approval of the county boards, may appoint one or more salaried 
175.25 	county probation officers to serve during the pleasure of the court;
175.26 	(2) when two or more counties offer probation services the district court through the 
175.27 	county boards may appoint common salaried county probation officers to serve in the several 
175.28 	counties;
175.29 	(3) a county or a district court may request the commissioner of corrections to furnish 
175.30 	probation services in accordance with the provisions of this section, and the commissioner 
175.31 	of corrections shall furnish such services to any county or court that fails to provide its own 
175.32 	probation officer by one of the two procedures listed above;
176.1 	(4) if a county or district court providing probation services under clause (1) or (2) asks 
176.2 	the commissioner of corrections or the legislative body for the state of Minnesota mandates 
176.3 	the commissioner of corrections to furnish probation services to the district court, the 
176.4 	probation officers and other employees displaced by the changeover shall be employed by 
176.5 	the commissioner of corrections. Years of service in the county probation department are 
176.6 	to be given full credit for future sick leave and vacation accrual purposes;
176.7 	(5) all probation officers serving the juvenile courts on July 1, 1972, shall continue to 
176.8 	serve in the county or counties they are now serving if a county receiving probation services 
176.9 	under clause (3) decides to provide those services under clause (1) or (2), the probation 
176.10 	officers and other employees displaced by the changeover shall be employed by the county. 
176.11 	Years of service in the state are to be given full credit for future sick leave and vacation 
176.12 	accrual purposes.
176.13 	(b) A county or counties providing probation services under paragraph (a), clause (1) 
176.14 	or (2), is designated a CPO county for purposes of receiving a grant under chapter 401. A 
176.15 	county or counties receiving probation services under paragraph (a), clause (3), is not eligible 
176.16 	for a grant under chapter 401, and the commissioner of corrections is appropriated the 
176.17 	county's share of funding for the purpose of providing probation services, and authority to 
176.18 	seek reimbursement from the county under subdivision 5.
176.19 	(c) A county that requests the commissioner of corrections to provide probation services 
176.20 	under paragraph (a), clause (3), shall collaborate with the commissioner to develop a 
176.21 	comprehensive plan as described in section 401.06.
176.22 	(b) (d) The commissioner of management and budget shall place employees transferred 
176.23 	to state service under paragraph (a), clause (4), in the proper classifications in the classified 
176.24 	service. Each employee is appointed without examination at no loss in salary or accrued 
176.25 	vacation or sick leave benefits, but no additional accrual of vacation or sick leave benefits 
176.26 	may occur until the employee's total accrued vacation or sick leave benefits fall below the 
176.27 	maximum permitted by the state for the employee's position. An employee appointed under 
176.28 	paragraph (a), clause (4), shall serve a probationary period of six months. After exhausting 
176.29 	labor contract remedies, a noncertified employee may appeal for a hearing within ten days 
176.30 	to the commissioner of management and budget, who may uphold the decision, extend the 
176.31 	probation period, or certify the employee. The decision of the commissioner of management 
176.32 	and budget is final. The state shall negotiate with the exclusive representative for the 
176.33 	bargaining unit to which the employees are transferred regarding their seniority. For purposes 
176.34 	of computing seniority among those employees transferring from one county unit only, a 
177.1 	transferred employee retains the same seniority position as the employee had within that 
177.2 	county's probation office.

177.3 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.19, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
177.4 		Subd. 5.Compensation. In counties of more than 200,000 population, a majority of the 
177.5 	judges of the district court may direct the payment of such salary to probation officers as 
177.6 	may be approved by the county board, and in addition thereto shall be reimbursed for all 
177.7 	necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. In all counties which 
177.8 	obtain probation services from the commissioner of corrections the commissioner shall, out 
177.9 	of appropriations provided therefor, pay probation officers the salary and all benefits fixed 
177.10 	by the state law or applicable bargaining unit and all necessary expenses, including secretarial 
177.11 	service, office equipment and supplies, postage, telephone and telegraph services, and travel 
177.12 	and subsistence. Each county receiving probation services from the commissioner of 
177.13 	corrections shall reimburse the department of corrections for the total cost and expenses of 
177.14 	such services as incurred by the commissioner of corrections, excluding the cost and expense 
177.15 	of services provided under the state's obligation in section 244.20. Total annual costs for 
177.16 	each county shall be that portion of the total costs and expenses for the services of one 
177.17 	probation officer represented by the ratio which the county's population bears to the total 
177.18 	population served by one officer. For the purposes of this section, the population of any 
177.19 	county shall be the most recent estimate made by the Department of Health. At least every 
177.20 	six months the commissioner of corrections shall bill for the total cost and expenses incurred 
177.21 	by the commissioner on behalf of each county which has received probation services. The 
177.22 	commissioner of corrections shall notify each county of the cost and expenses and the county 
177.23 	shall pay to the commissioner the amount due for reimbursement. All such reimbursements 
177.24 	shall be deposited in the general fund used to provide services for each county according 
177.25 	to their reimbursement amount. Objections by a county to all allocation of such cost and 
177.26 	expenses shall be presented to and determined by the commissioner of corrections. Each 
177.27 	county providing probation services under this section is hereby authorized to use unexpended 
177.28 	funds and to levy additional taxes for this purpose.
177.29 	The county commissioners of any county of not more than 200,000 population shall, 
177.30 	when requested to do so by the juvenile judge, provide probation officers with suitable 
177.31 	offices, and may provide equipment, and secretarial help needed to render the required 
177.32 	services.

178.25 	probation officer may require a person committed to the officer's care by the court to perform 
178.26 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
178.27 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
178.28 	the person's rehabilitation, or both. A probation officer may impose up to eight hours of

182.17 	which have complied with the provisions of subdivision 1 and require financial aid to defray 
182.18 	all or a part of the expenses incurred by corrections advisory board members in discharging 
182.19 	their official duties pursuant to section 401.08, the commissioner may designate counties 
182.20 	as "planning counties", and, upon receipt of resolutions by the governing boards of the 
182.21 	counties certifying the need for and inability to pay the expenses described in this subdivision, 
182.22 	advance to the counties an amount not to exceed five percent of the maximum quarterly 
182.23 	subsidy grant for which the counties are eligible. The expenses described in this subdivision 
182.24 	shall be paid in the same manner and amount as for state employees.

182.31 	required to conform to the purposes of this chapter. No contrary general or special statute 
182.32 	divests any county or group of counties of the authority granted by this subdivision.
182.33 		Subd. 5.Intermediate sanctions. Unless the district court directs otherwise, county 
182.34 	probation officers may require a person committed to the officer's care by the court to 
183.1 	perform community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the 
183.2 	court. Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, 
183.3 	to aid the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Probation officers may impose up to eight hours 
183.4 	of community work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 
183.5 	12-month period, beginning on the date on which community work service is first imposed.

183.7 	40 hours of community work service, for a total of 64 hours per offender per 12-month 
183.8 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. At the

183.10 	notice to the offender that states:
183.11 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
183.12 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
183.13 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month

183.16 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
183.17 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
183.18 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
183.19 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
183.20 	under the circumstances.
183.21 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.

183.22 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.04, is amended to read:
183.23 	401.04 ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY; SELECTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE 
183.24 	STRUCTURE; EMPLOYEES.
183.25 	Any county or group of counties electing to come within the provisions of sections

183.27 	of custodial control, the lands, buildings and equipment necessary and incident to the 
183.28 	accomplishment of the purposes of sections 401.01 to 401.16, (b) determine and establish 
183.29 	the administrative structure best suited to the efficient administration and delivery of the 
183.30 	correctional services described in section 401.01, and (c) employ a director and other officers, 
183.31 	employees and agents as deemed necessary to carry out the provisions of sections 401.01
183.32 	to 401.16. To the extent that participating counties shall assume and take over state and 
183.33 	local correctional services presently provided in counties, employment shall be given to 
184.1 	those state and local officers, employees and agents thus displaced; if hired by a county, 
184.2 	employment shall, to the extent possible and notwithstanding the provisions of any other 
184.3 	law or ordinance to the contrary, be deemed a transfer in grade with all of the benefits 
184.4 	enjoyed by such officer, employee or agent while in the service of the state or local 
184.5 	correctional service.
184.6 	State or local employees displaced by county participation in the subsidy grant program 
184.7 	provided by this chapter are on layoff status and, if not hired by a participating county as 
184.8 	provided herein, may exercise their rights under layoff procedures established by law or 
184.9 	union agreement whichever is applicable.
184.10 	State or local officers and employees displaced by a county's participation in the 
184.11 	Community Corrections Act and hired by the participating county shall retain all fringe 
184.12 	benefits and recall from layoff benefits accrued by seniority and enjoyed by them while in 
184.13 	the service of the state.

184.14 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 401.06, is amended to read:
184.15 	401.06 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; STANDARDS OF ELIGIBILITY; 
184.16 	COMPLIANCE.
184.17 	No county or group of counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments
184.18 	electing to provide correctional services pursuant to sections 401.01 to 401.16 shall be 
184.19 	eligible for the subsidy grant herein provided unless and until its comprehensive plan shall 
184.20 	have been approved by the commissioner. The commissioner shall, pursuant to the 
184.21 	Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for
184.22 	CCA and CPO counties and Tribal governments to receive funds grants under sections 
184.23 	401.01 to 401.16. To remain eligible for subsidy grants counties and Tribal governments
184.24 	shall maintain substantial compliance with the minimum standards established pursuant to 
184.25 	sections 401.01 to 401.16 and the policies and procedures governing the services described 
184.26 	in section 401.025 as prescribed by the commissioner. Counties shall also be in substantial 
184.27 	compliance with other correctional operating standards permitted by law and established 
184.28 	by the commissioner and shall report statistics required by the commissioner including but 
184.29 	not limited to information on individuals convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
184.30 	identified in section 241.016, subdivision 1, paragraph (c). The commissioner shall review 
184.31 	annually the comprehensive plans submitted by participating counties and Tribal 
184.32 	governments, including the facilities and programs operated under the plans. The 
184.33 	commissioner is hereby authorized to enter upon any facility operated under the plan, and 
184.34 	inspect books and records, for purposes of recommending needed changes or improvements.
185.1 	When the commissioner provides supervision to a county that elects not to provide the 
185.2 	supervision, the commissioner shall prepare a comprehensive plan for the county and shall 
185.3 	present it to the local county board of commissioners. The Department of Corrections shall 
185.4 	be subject to all the standards and requirements established in sections 401.01 to 401.16 
185.5 	and promulgated rules.
185.6 	When the commissioner shall determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe 
185.7 	that a county or group of counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments is 
185.8 	not in substantial compliance with minimum standards, at least 30 days' notice shall be 
185.9 	given the county or counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments and a 
185.10 	hearing conducted by the commissioner to ascertain whether there is substantial compliance 
185.11 	or satisfactory progress being made toward compliance. The commissioner may suspend 
185.12 	all or a portion of any subsidy grant until the required standard of operation has been met.

185.13 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.09, is amended to read:
185.14 	401.09 OTHER SUBSIDY PROGRAMS; PURCHASE OF STATE SERVICES.
185.15 	Failure of a county or group of counties to elect to come within the provisions of sections 
185.16 	401.01 to 401.16 shall not affect their eligibility for any other state grant or subsidy for 
185.17 	correctional purposes otherwise provided by law. Any comprehensive plan submitted 
185.18 	pursuant to sections 401.01 to 401.16 may include the purchase of selected correctional 
185.19 	services from the state by contract, including the temporary detention and confinement of 
185.20 	persons convicted of crime or adjudicated delinquent; confinement to be in an appropriate 
185.21 	state facility as otherwise provided by law. The commissioner shall annually determine the 
185.22 	costs of the purchase of services under this section and deduct them from the subsidy grant
185.23 	due and payable to the county or counties concerned; provided that no contract shall exceed 
185.24 	in cost the amount of subsidy grant to which the participating county or counties are eligible.

185.25 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.10, is amended to read:
185.26 	401.10 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AID.
185.27 		Subdivision 1.Aid calculations Funding formula. To determine the community 
185.28 	corrections aid amount to be paid to each participating county, the commissioner of 
185.29 	corrections must apply the following formula:
185.30 	(1) For each of the 87 counties in the state, a percent score must be calculated for each 
185.31 	of the following five factors:
186.1 	(i) percent of the total state population aged ten to 24 residing within the county according 
186.2 	to the most recent federal census, and, in the intervening years between the taking of the 
186.3 	federal census, according to the most recent estimate of the state demographer;
186.4 	(ii) percent of the statewide total number of felony case filings occurring within the 
186.5 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
186.6 	(iii) percent of the statewide total number of juvenile case filings occurring within the 
186.7 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
186.8 	(iv) percent of the statewide total number of gross misdemeanor case filings occurring 
186.9 	within the county, as determined by the state court administrator; and
186.10 	(v) percent of the total statewide number of convicted felony offenders who did not 
186.11 	receive an executed prison sentence, as monitored and reported by the Sentencing Guidelines 
186.12 	Commission.
186.13 	The percents in items (ii) to (v) must be calculated by combining the most recent 
186.14 	three-year period of available data. The percents in items (i) to (v) each must sum to 100 
186.15 	percent across the 87 counties.
186.16 	(2) For each of the 87 counties, the county's percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), must 
186.17 	be weighted, summed, and divided by the sum of the weights to yield an average percent 
186.18 	for each county, referred to as the county's "composite need percent." When performing 
186.19 	this calculation, the weight for each of the percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), is 1.0. The 
186.20 	composite need percent must sum to 100 percent across the 87 counties.
186.21 	(3) For each of the 87 counties, the county's "adjusted net tax capacity percent" is the 
186.22 	county's adjusted net tax capacity amount, defined in the same manner as it is defined for 
186.23 	cities in section 477A.011, subdivision 20, divided by the statewide total adjusted net tax 
186.24 	capacity amount. The adjusted net tax capacity percent must sum to 100 percent across the 
186.25 	87 counties.
186.26 	(4) For each of the 87 counties, the county's composite need percent must be divided by 
186.27 	the county's adjusted net tax capacity percent to produce a ratio that, when multiplied by 
186.28 	the county's composite need percent, results in the county's "tax base adjusted need percent."
186.29 	(5) For each of the 87 counties, the county's tax base adjusted need percent must be 
186.30 	added to twice the composite need percent, and the sum must be divided by 3, to yield the 
186.31 	county's "weighted need percent."
187.1 	(6) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be added to the weighted 
187.2 	need percent of each other participating county to yield the "total weighted need percent 
187.3 	for participating counties."
187.4 	(7) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be divided by the total 
187.5 	weighted need percent for participating counties to yield the county's "share percent." The 
187.6 	share percents for participating counties must sum to 100 percent.
187.7 	(8) Each participating county's "base funding amount" is the aid amount that the county 
187.8 	received under this section for fiscal year 1995 plus the amount received in caseload or 
187.9 	workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision grants in fiscal 
187.10 	year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections. In fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, 
187.11 	no county's aid amount under this section may be less than its base funding amount, provided 
187.12 	that the total amount appropriated for this purpose is at least as much as the aggregate base 
187.13 	funding amount defined in clause (9).
187.14 	(9) The "aggregate base funding amount" is equal to the sum of the base funding amounts 
187.15 	for all participating counties. If a county that participated under this section chooses not to 
187.16 	participate in any given year, then the aggregate base funding amount must be reduced by 
187.17 	that county's base funding amount. If a county that did not participate under this section in 
187.18 	fiscal year 1995 chooses to participate on or after July 1, 2015, then the aggregate base 
187.19 	funding amount must be increased by the amount of aid that the county would have received 
187.20 	had it participated in fiscal year 1995 plus the estimated amount it would have received in 
187.21 	caseload or workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision 
187.22 	grants in fiscal year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections, and the amount 
187.23 	of increase shall be that county's base funding amount.
187.24 	(10) In any given year, the total amount appropriated for this purpose first must be 
187.25 	allocated to participating counties in accordance with each county's base funding amount. 
187.26 	Then, any remaining amount in excess of the aggregate base funding amount must be 
187.27 	allocated to participating counties in proportion to each county's share percent, and is referred 
187.28 	to as the county's "formula amount."
187.29 	Each participating county's "community corrections aid amount" equals the sum of (i) 
187.30 	the county's base funding amount, and (ii) the county's formula amount.
187.31 	(11) However, if in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section 
187.32 	is less than the aggregate base funding amount, then each participating county's community 
187.33 	corrections aid amount is the product of (i) the county's base funding amount multiplied by 
187.34 	(ii) the ratio of the total amount appropriated to the aggregate base funding amount.
188.1 	For each participating county, the county's community corrections aid amount calculated 
188.2 	in this subdivision is the total amount of subsidy to which the county is entitled under 
188.3 	sections 401.01 to 401.16.
188.4 	(a) The state shall institute one funding formula for supervising people in the community. 
188.5 	For fiscal year 2023, the commissioner shall use the following formula to determine each 
188.6 	county and Tribal government grant and the department's funding for supervision in counties 
188.7 	or Tribal jurisdictions served by the department. Funding and allocations for intensive 
188.8 	supervised release are not included in the formula and regardless of the results of the formula, 
188.9 	in fiscal year 2023, the commissioner shall provide 50 percent funding to CPO counties as 
188.10 	previously required in section 244.19, subdivision 6. The following amounts shall be summed 
188.11 	to arrive at the total for a county, Tribal government, or the department:
188.12 	(1) $250,000;
188.13 	(2) ten percent of the total appropriation for community supervision and postrelease 
188.14 	services to the department for community supervision in fiscal year 2022 multiplied by the 
188.15 	county's or Tribe's percentage of the state's total population;
188.16 	(3) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
188.17 	in fiscal year 2022 multiplied by the county's or Tribe's percentage of the state's total 
188.18 	geographic area;
188.19 	(4) the result of the following methodology:
188.20 	(i) use the county's felony supervision population as reflected in the most recent probation 
188.21 	survey by the department and analysis conducted in 2021 by an independent contractor;
188.22 	(ii) use the hours required to supervise the felony population based on 2,080 hours of 
188.23 	full-time equivalent officer time in one year; and
188.24 	(iii) assume a $100,000 cost for each full-time equivalent officer and multiply that 
188.25 	amount by the average full-time equivalent time for the county for one year; and
188.26 	(5) the department may prorate the total amount distributed in clauses (2), (3), and (4), 
188.27 	as necessary, so as to not exceed the total appropriation for fiscal year 2023.
188.28 	(b) For use in fiscal year 2024 and beyond, to replace the methodology in paragraph (a), 
188.29 	clause (4), the state shall implement a workload methodology developed by the Supervision 
188.30 	Standards Committee to calculate the average per diem costs of supervising people in 
188.31 	communities and accounting for people of different risk and need levels who are juveniles, 
188.32 	on probation for a misdemeanor, on probation for a gross misdemeanor, on probation for a 
188.33 	felony, on supervised or conditional release, or on intensive supervised release. The 
189.1 	Department of Corrections and the Supervision Standards Committee shall report the 
189.2 	methodology and the calculated fiscal impacts of the formula described in this paragraph 
189.3 	estimated for each of fiscal years 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 to the chairs and ranking 
189.4 	minority members of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over public safety finance 
189.5 	and policy, to the governor, and to the Department of Management and Budget by October 
189.6 	15, 2022, for consideration in biennial budget development under section 16A.10, subdivision 
189.7 	2. The department may prorate the total amount distributed in fiscal year 2024 and subsequent 
189.8 	years as necessary, so as to not exceed the total appropriation for that fiscal year.
189.9 	(c) The reimbursement formulas developed under paragraphs (a) and (b) must:
189.10 	(1) limit the weight of a misdemeanor case to no more than one-half of the weight 
189.11 	assigned to a felony case with a comparable risk level assessment for purposes of calculating 
189.12 	weighted caseloads; and
189.13 	(2) account for the absence of work performed in an entity's caseload that occurs when 
189.14 	offenders under the entity's supervision are reincarcerated. The formulas must reduce an 
189.15 	entity's current grant award by the amount of savings that would have been generated in 
189.16 	the prior year from supervision that was not performed because of offender reincarceration.
189.17 		Subd. 2.Transfer of funds. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the commissioner 
189.18 	of corrections, after notifying the committees on finance of the senate and ways and means 
189.19 	of the house of representatives, may, at the end of any fiscal year, transfer any unobligated 
189.20 	funds, including funds available due the withdrawal of a county under section 401.16, in 
189.21 	any appropriation to the Department of Corrections to the appropriation under sections 
189.22 	401.01 to 401.16, which appropriation shall not cancel but is reappropriated for the purposes 
189.23 	of sections 401.01 to 401.16.
189.24 		Subd. 3.Formula review. Prior to January 16, 2002, the committees with jurisdiction 
189.25 	over community corrections funding decisions in the house of representatives and the senate, 
189.26 	in consultation with the Department of Corrections and any interested county organizations, 
189.27 	must review the formula in subdivision 1 and make recommendations to the legislature for 
189.28 	its continuation, modification, replacement, or discontinuation. (a) For fiscal year 2024 and 
189.29 	subsequent fiscal years, the commissioner shall make a funding recommendation based 
189.30 	upon the following two components:
189.31 	(1) for the first component the following amounts shall be summed to arrive at the total 
189.32 	for a county, Tribal government, or the department:
189.33 	(i) $250,000;
190.1 	(ii) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
190.2 	in the previous fiscal year multiplied by the county's percentage of the state's total population 
190.3 	according to 2020 census data; and
190.4 	(iii) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
190.5 	in the previous fiscal year multiplied by the county's percentage of the state's total geographic 
190.6 	area as reflected in square miles; and
190.7 	(2) for the second component funding shall reflect the results of the workload study in 
190.8 	subdivision 1, paragraph (b).
190.9 	(b) Every six years the workload study shall be repeated and updated by the Department 
190.10 	of Corrections in consultation with the Community Supervision Advisory Board if 
190.11 	established.
190.12 	(c) For the purposes of the recommendations required under this section, every six years 
190.13 	the $250,000 base amount shall be adjusted to reflect the statewide average cost of 2.5 
190.14 	probation officer full-time equivalent employees.

190.15 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.11, is amended to read:
190.16 	401.11 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITEMS; GRANT REVIEW.
190.17 		Subdivision 1.Items. The comprehensive plan submitted to the commissioner for 
190.18 	approval shall include those items prescribed by rule of the commissioner, which may 
190.19 	require the inclusion of the following: (a) the manner in which presentence and postsentence 
190.20 	investigations and reports for the district courts and social history reports for the juvenile 
190.21 	courts will be made; (b) the manner in which conditional release services to the courts and 
190.22 	persons under jurisdiction of the commissioner of corrections will be provided; (c) a program 
190.23 	for the detention, supervision, and treatment of persons under pretrial detention or under 
190.24 	commitment; (d) delivery of other correctional services defined in section 401.01; (e) 
190.25 	proposals for new programs, which proposals must demonstrate a need for the program, its 
190.26 	purpose, objective, administrative structure, staffing pattern, staff training, financing, 
190.27 	evaluation process, degree of community involvement, client participation, and duration of 
190.28 	program.
190.29 		Subd. 2.Review. In addition to the foregoing requirements made by this section, each 
190.30 	participating CCA county or group of counties shall develop and implement a procedure 
190.31 	for the review of grant applications made to the corrections advisory board and for the 
190.32 	manner in which corrections advisory board action will be taken on them. A description of 
190.33 	this procedure must be made available to members of the public upon request.

191.4 	expenses as defined in section 401.01, to the extent of any subsidy grant received pursuant 
191.5 	to sections 401.01 to 401.16; rather the subsidy grant herein provided is for the expenditure 
191.6 	for correctional purposes in excess of those funds currently being expended. Should a 
191.7 	participating county be unable to expend the full amount of the subsidy grant to which it 
191.8 	would be entitled in any one year under the provisions of sections 401.01 to 401.16, the 
191.9 	commissioner shall retain the surplus, subject to disbursement in the following year wherein 
191.10 	such county can demonstrate a need for and ability to expend same for the purposes provided 
191.11 	in section 401.01. If in any biennium the subsidy grant is increased by an inflationary 
191.12 	adjustment which results in the county receiving more actual subsidy grant than it did in 
191.13 	the previous calendar year, the county shall be eligible for that increase only if the current 
191.14 	level of spending is increased by a percentage equal to that increase within the same 
191.15 	biennium.

191.16 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.14, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

191.18 	prerequisites for participation in the subsidy grant prescribed by sections 401.01 to 401.16, 
191.19 	and approval of the comprehensive plan by the commissioner, the commissioner shall

191.28 	each county receives its payment of the allotment for that month no later than the last 
191.29 	working day of that month. The payment described in this subdivision for services rendered 
191.30 	during June 1985 shall be made on the first working day of July 1985.

192.1 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.15, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
192.2 		Subd. 2.Ranking review. The commissioner shall biennially review the ranking accorded

192.6 	401.16 WITHDRAWAL FROM PROGRAM.
192.7 	Any participating county or Tribal government may, at the beginning of any calendar 
192.8 	quarter, by resolution of its board of commissioners or Tribal government leaders, notify 
192.9 	the commissioner of its intention to withdraw from the subsidy grant program established 
192.10 	by sections 401.01 to 401.16, and the withdrawal shall be effective the last day of the last 
192.11 	month of the third quarter in after which the notice was given. Upon withdrawal, the 
192.12 	unexpended balance of moneys allocated to the county, or that amount necessary to reinstate 
192.13 	state correctional services displaced by that county's participation, including complement 
192.14 	positions, may, upon approval of the legislative advisory commission, be transferred to the 
192.15 	commissioner for the reinstatement of the displaced services and the payment of any other 
192.16 	correctional subsidies for which the withdrawing county had previously been eligible.

APPENDIX 

Repealed Minnesota Statutes: H4608-1 

244.18 LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FEES; IMPOSITION ON OFFENDERS.Subdivision 1.Definition. 
As used in this section, "local correctional fees" include fees for the following correctional services: 

(1) community service work placement and supervision; 

(2) restitution collection; 

(3) supervision; 

(4) court ordered investigations; 

(5) any other court ordered service; 

(6) postprison supervision or other form of release; or 

(7) supervision or other services provided to probationers or parolees under section 243.1605 to be provided by a local probation and parole agency established under section 244.19 or community corrections agency established under chapter 401. 

Subd. 2.Local correctional fees. 
A local correctional agency may establish a schedule of local correctional fees to charge persons under the supervision and control of the local correctional agency to defray costs associated with correctional services. The local correctional fees on the schedule must be reasonably related to defendants' abilities to pay and the actual cost of correctional services. 

Subd. 3.Fee collection. 
The chief executive officer of a local correctional agency may impose and collect local correctional fees. The local correctional agency may collect the fee at any time while the offender is under sentence or after the sentence has been discharged. A local probation and parole agency established under section 244.19 or community corrections agency established under section 401.02 may not impose a fee under this section if the offender is supervised by the commissioner of corrections and the commissioner of corrections imposes and collects a fee under section 241.272. The agency may use any available civil means of debt collection in collecting a local correctional fee. 

Subd. 4.Exemption from fee. 
The chief executive officer of the local correctional agency may waive payment of the fee if the officer determines that the offender does not have the ability to pay the fee, the prospects for payment are poor, or there are extenuating circumstances justifying waiver of the fee. Instead of waiving the fee, the local correctional agency may require the offender to perform community work service as a means of paying the fee. 

Subd. 5.Restitution payment priority. 
If a defendant has been ordered by a court to pay restitution, the defendant shall be obligated to pay the restitution ordered before paying the local correctional fee. However, if the defendant is making reasonable payments to satisfy the restitution obligation, the local correctional agency may also collect a local correctional fee. 

Subd. 6.Use of fees. 
The local correctional fees shall be used by the local correctional agency to pay the costs of local correctional services. Local correctional fees may not be used to supplant existing local funding for local correctional services. 

244.19 PROBATION OFFICERS.Subd. 6.Reimbursement of counties. 
In order to reimburse the counties for the cost which they assume under this section of providing probation and parole services to wards of the commissioner of corrections and to aid the counties in achieving the purposes of this section, the commissioner of corrections shall annually, from funds appropriated for that purpose, pay 50 percent of the costs of probation officers' salaries to all counties of not more than 200,000 population. Nothing in this section will invalidate any payments to counties made pursuant to this section before May 15, 1963. Salary costs include fringe benefits, but only to the extent that fringe benefits do not exceed those provided for state civil service employees. On or before July 1 of each even-numbered year each county or group of counties which provide their own probation services to the district court under subdivision 1, clause (1) or (2), shall submit to the commissioner of corrections an estimate of its costs under this section. Reimbursement to those counties shall be made on the basis of the estimate or actual expenditures incurred, whichever is less. Reimbursement for those counties which obtain probation services from the commissioner of corrections pursuant to subdivision 1, clause (3), must be made on the basis of actual expenditures. Salary costs shall not be reimbursed unless county probation officers are paid salaries commensurate with the salaries paid to comparable positions in the classified service of the state civil service. The salary range to which each county probation officer is assigned shall be determined by the authority having power to appoint probation officers, and shall be based on the officer's length of service and performance. The appointing authority shall annually assign each county probation officer to a position on the salary scale commensurate with the officer's experience, tenure, and responsibilities. The judge shall file with the county auditor an order setting each county probation officer's salary. Time spent by a county probation officer as a court referee shall not qualify for reimbursement. Reimbursement shall be prorated if the appropriation is insufficient. A new position eligible for reimbursement under this section may not be added by a county without the written approval of the commissioner of corrections. When a new position is approved, the commissioner shall include the cost of the position in calculating each county's share. 

Subd. 7.Certificate of counties entitled to state aid. 
On or before January 1 of each year, until 1970 and on or before April 1 thereafter, the commissioner of corrections shall deliver to the commissioner of management and budget a certificate in duplicate for each county of the state entitled to receive state aid under the provisions of this section. Upon the receipt of such certificate, the commissioner of management and budget shall issue a payment to the county treasurer for the amount shown by each certificate to be due to the county specified. The commissioner of management and budget shall transmit such payment to the county treasurer together with a copy of the certificate prepared by the commissioner of corrections. 

Subd. 8.Exception. 
This section shall not apply to Ramsey County. 

244.22 PROBATION SERVICE PROVIDERS; CASELOAD REDUCTION GRANT MONEY.
(a) The commissioner of corrections shall review the planned expenditures of probation service providers before allocating probation caseload reduction grants appropriated by the legislature. The review must determine whether the planned expenditures comply with applicable law. 

(b) In counties where probation services are provided by both county and Department of Corrections employees, a collaborative plan addressing the local needs shall be developed. The commissioner of corrections shall specify the manner in which probation caseload reduction grant money shall be distributed between the providers according to the approved plan. 

244.24 CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR ADULT OFFENDERS.
By February 1, 1998, all probation agencies shall adopt written policies for classifying adult offenders. The commissioner of corrections shall assist probation agencies in locating organizations that may provide training and technical assistance to the agencies concerning methods to develop and implement effective, valid classification systems. 

244.30 CAP ON INCARCERATION FOR FIRST-TIME SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATIONS; EXCEPTION FOR SEX OFFENDERS.
(a) If the commissioner revokes the supervised release of a person whose release on the current offense has not previously been revoked, the commissioner may order the person to be incarcerated for no more than 90 days or until the expiration of the person's sentence, whichever is less. 

(b) This section does not apply to offenders on supervised release for a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 609.345, 609.3451, or 609.3453. 

(c) The commissioner may order a person described in this section to be incarcerated for more than 90 days if the commissioner determines that substantial and compelling reasons exist to believe that the longer incarceration period is necessary to protect the public. 

299A.49 DEFINITIONS.Subd. 7.Regional hazardous materials response team. 
"Regional hazardous materials response team" means a team trained and equipped to respond to and mitigate a hazardous materials release. A regional hazardous materials response team may include strategically located chemical assessment teams. 

401.025 DETENTION AND RELEASE; PROBATIONERS, CONDITIONAL RELEASEES, AND PRETRIAL RELEASEES.Subdivision 1.Peace officers and probation officers serving CCA counties.
