24.24 	public safety relating to direct shipments of wine are governed by sections 340A.550 and 
24.25 	340A.555.

24.26 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

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

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

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

29.13 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 253B.18, subdivision 5a, is amended 
29.14 	to read:
29.15 		Subd. 5a.Victim notification of petition and release; right to submit statement. (a)

29.20 	section 253D.02, subdivision 8, paragraph (b), regardless of whether they are sexually 
29.21 	motivated;
29.22 	(2) "victim" means a person who has incurred loss or harm as a result of a crime the 
29.23 	behavior for which forms the basis for a commitment under this section or chapter 253D; 
29.24 	and
29.25 	(3) "convicted" and "conviction" have the meanings given in section 609.02, subdivision 
29.26 	5, and also include juvenile court adjudications, findings under Minnesota Rules of Criminal 
29.27 	Procedure, rule 20.02, that the elements of a crime have been proved, and findings in 
29.28 	commitment cases under this section or chapter 253D that an act or acts constituting a crime 
29.29 	occurred or were part of their course of harmful sexual conduct.
29.30 	(b) A county attorney who files a petition to commit a person under this section or chapter 
29.31 	253D shall make a reasonable effort to provide prompt notice of filing the petition to any 
29.32 	victim of a crime for which the person was convicted. In addition, the county attorney shall 
29.33 	make a reasonable effort to promptly notify the victim of the resolution of the petition and 
30.1 	the process for requesting notification of an individual's change in status as provided in 
30.2 	paragraph (c). A notice shall only be provided to a victim who has submitted a written 
30.3 	request for notification to the prosecutor.
30.4 	(c) A victim may request notification of an individual's discharge or release as provided 
30.5 	in paragraph (d) by submitting a written request for notification to the executive director of 
30.6 	the facility in which the individual is confined. The Department of Corrections or a county 
30.7 	attorney who receives a request for notification from a victim under this section shall 
30.8 	promptly forward the request to the executive director of the treatment facility in which the 
30.9 	individual is confined.
30.10 	(d) Before provisionally discharging, discharging, granting pass-eligible status, approving 
30.11 	a pass plan, or otherwise permanently or temporarily releasing a person committed under 
30.12 	this section from a state-operated treatment program or treatment facility, the head of the 
30.13 	state-operated treatment program or head of the treatment facility shall make a reasonable 
30.14 	effort to notify any victim of a crime for which the person was convicted that the person 
30.15 	may be discharged or released and that the victim has a right to submit a written statement 
30.16 	regarding decisions of the medical director, special review board, or commissioner with 
30.17 	respect to the person. To the extent possible, the notice must be provided at least 14 days 
30.18 	before any special review board hearing or before a determination on a pass plan. 
30.19 	Notwithstanding section 611A.06, subdivision 4, the commissioner shall provide the judicial 
30.20 	appeal panel with victim information in order to comply with the provisions of this section. 
30.21 	The judicial appeal panel shall ensure that the data on victims remains private as provided 
30.22 	for in section 611A.06, subdivision 4. These notices shall only be provided to victims who 
30.23 	have submitted a written request for notification as provided in paragraph (c).
30.24 	(e) The rights under this subdivision are in addition to rights available to a victim under 
30.25 	chapter 611A. This provision does not give a victim all the rights of a "notified person" or 
30.26 	a person "entitled to statutory notice" under subdivision 4a, 4b, or 5 or section 253D.14.

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

115.2 	the person. The not public record may also be opened only upon court order for purposes 
115.3 	of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. Upon receipt of notice that the 
115.4 	proceedings were dismissed, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall notify the arresting 
115.5 	or citing law enforcement agency and direct that agency to seal its records related to the 
115.6 	charge. Upon request by law enforcement, prosecution, or corrections authorities, the bureau 
115.7 	shall notify the requesting party of the existence of the not public record and the right to 
115.8 	seek a court order to open it pursuant to this section. The court shall forward a record of 
115.9 	any discharge and dismissal under this subdivision to the bureau which shall make and

122.5 	noncustodial community-based supervision setting necessary to minimize the risk that a 
122.6 	child who is released from custody will endanger others or not return for a court hearing. 
122.7 	If, after using the instrument, a determination is made that the child should be released, the 
122.8 	person taking the child into custody or the supervisor of the facility shall release the child

122.18 	(b) (c) No child may be detained in a juvenile secure detention facility or shelter care 
122.19 	facility longer than 36 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, after being taken 
122.20 	into custody for a delinquent act as defined in section 260B.007, subdivision 6, unless a 
122.21 	petition has been filed and the judge or referee determines pursuant to section 260B.178
122.22 	that the child shall remain in detention.
122.23 	(c) (d) No child may be detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup longer than 24 
122.24 	hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, or longer than six hours in an adult jail

122.32 	or longer than six hours in an adult jail or municipal lockup in a standard metropolitan 
122.33 	statistical area, unless the requirements of this paragraph have been met and, in addition, a 
123.1 	motion to refer the child for adult prosecution has been made under section 260B.125. 
123.2 	Notwithstanding this paragraph, continued detention of a child in an adult detention facility 
123.3 	outside of a standard metropolitan statistical area county is permissible if:
123.4 	(i) the facility in which the child is detained is located where conditions of distance to

123.6 	hours. A delay not to exceed 48 hours may be made under this clause; or

123.18 	facility or approved jail within the county or elsewhere in the state, or in determining suitable 
123.19 	alternatives. The commissioner shall direct that a child detained in a jail be detained after 
123.20 	eight days from and including the date of the original detention order in an approved juvenile 
123.21 	secure detention facility with the approval of the administrative authority of the facility. If 
123.22 	the court refers the matter to the prosecuting authority pursuant to section 260B.125, notice 
123.23 	to the commissioner shall not be required.
123.24 	(e) (f) When a child is detained for an alleged delinquent act in a state licensed juvenile 
123.25 	facility or program, or when a child is detained in an adult jail or municipal lockup as

123.27 	guardian consents, have a children's mental health screening conducted with a screening 
123.28 	instrument approved by the commissioner of human services, unless a screening has been 
123.29 	performed within the previous 180 days or the child is currently under the care of a mental 
123.30 	health professional. The screening shall be conducted by a mental health practitioner as 
123.31 	defined in section 245.4871, subdivision 26, or a probation officer who is trained in the use 
123.32 	of the screening instrument. The screening shall be conducted after the initial detention 
123.33 	hearing has been held and the court has ordered the child continued in detention. The results 
123.34 	of the screening may only be presented to the court at the dispositional phase of the court 
124.1 	proceedings on the matter unless the parent or legal guardian consents to presentation at a 
124.2 	different time. If the screening indicates a need for assessment, the local social services 
124.3 	agency or probation officer, with the approval of the child's parent or legal guardian, shall 
124.4 	have a diagnostic assessment conducted, including a functional assessment, as defined in 
124.5 	section 245.4871.

124.19 	(4) is without the special care made necessary by a physical, mental, or emotional 
124.20 	condition because the child's parent, guardian, or custodian is unable or unwilling to provide

124.25 	respond to the infant's life-threatening conditions by providing treatment, including 
124.26 	appropriate nutrition, hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or advanced 
124.27 	practice registered nurse's reasonable medical judgment, will be most likely to be effective 
124.28 	in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, except that the term does not include the failure 
124.29 	to provide treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant 
124.30 	when, in the treating physician's or advanced practice registered nurse's reasonable medical 
124.31 	judgment:
124.32 	(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;
125.1 	(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in 
125.2 	ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be 
125.3 	futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or
125.4 	(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival of 
125.5 	the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;
125.6 	(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be relieved 
125.7 	of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a voluntary 
125.8 	placement agreement between the parent and the responsible social services agency under

125.23 	(15) has been found incompetent to proceed or has been found not guilty by reason of 
125.24 	mental illness or mental deficiency in connection with a delinquency proceeding, a 
125.25 	certification under section 260B.125, an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, or a 
125.26 	proceeding involving a juvenile petty offense; or
125.27 	(16) has a parent whose parental rights to one or more other children were involuntarily 
125.28 	terminated or whose custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred to 
125.29 	a relative and there is a case plan prepared by the responsible social services agency 
125.30 	documenting a compelling reason why filing the termination of parental rights petition under 
125.31 	section 260C.503, subdivision 2, is not in the best interests of the child.

131.23 	under section 122A.18, subdivision 8;
131.24 	(2) an expunged record of conviction does not restore the right to ship, transport, possess, 
131.25 	or receive a firearm, but the person may seek a relief of disability under United States Code, 
131.26 	title 18, section 925, or restoration of the ability to possess firearms under section 609.165, 
131.27 	subdivision 1d; and

132.16 	information establishes that the records are not eligible for expungement.
132.17 	(d) Nonpublic criminal records maintained by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension 
132.18 	and subject to a grant of expungement relief shall display a notation stating "expungement

132.20 	(e) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform the judicial branch of all cases 
132.21 	for which expungement relief was granted pursuant to this section. Notification may be

132.33 	of the deadline established in paragraph (c). Notification may be through electronic means. 
132.34 	Each notified law enforcement agency shall seal all records relating to an arrest, indictment 
133.1 	or information, trial, verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which expungement 
133.2 	relief was granted.
133.3 	(g) Data on the person whose offense has been expunged under this subdivision, including

133.16 	may seek a relief of disability under United States Code, title 18, section 925, or restoration

133.28 		Subd. 5.Nature of remedy; standard. (a) Except as otherwise provided by paragraph 
133.29 	(b), expungement of a criminal record under this section is an extraordinary remedy to be 
133.30 	granted only upon clear and convincing evidence that it would yield a benefit to the petitioner 
133.31 	commensurate with the disadvantages to the public and public safety of:
133.32 	(1) sealing the record; and
134.1 	(2) burdening the court and public authorities to issue, enforce, and monitor an 
134.2 	expungement order.
134.3 	(b) Except as otherwise provided by this paragraph, if the petitioner is petitioning for 
134.4 	the sealing of a criminal record under section 609A.02, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause 
134.5 	(1) or (2), the court shall grant the petition to seal the record unless the agency or jurisdiction 
134.6 	whose records would be affected establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the 
134.7 	interests of the public and public safety outweigh the disadvantages to the petitioner of not 
134.8 	sealing the record.
134.9 	(c) In making a determination under this subdivision, the court shall consider:
134.10 	(1) the nature and severity of the underlying crime, the record of which would be sealed;
134.11 	(2) the risk, if any, the petitioner poses to individuals or society;
134.12 	(3) the length of time since the crime occurred;
134.13 	(4) the steps taken by the petitioner toward rehabilitation following the crime;
134.14 	(5) aggravating or mitigating factors relating to the underlying crime, including the 
134.15 	petitioner's level of participation and context and circumstances of the underlying crime;
134.16 	(6) the reasons for the expungement, including the petitioner's attempts to obtain 
134.17 	employment, housing, or other necessities;
134.18 	(7) the petitioner's criminal record;
134.19 	(8) the petitioner's record of employment and community involvement;
134.20 	(9) the recommendations of interested law enforcement, prosecutorial, and corrections 
134.21 	officials;
134.22 	(10) the recommendations of victims or whether victims of the underlying crime were 
134.23 	minors;
134.24 	(11) the amount, if any, of restitution outstanding, past efforts made by the petitioner 
134.25 	toward payment, and the measures in place to help ensure completion of restitution payment 
134.26 	after expungement of the record if granted; and
134.27 	(12) other factors deemed relevant by the court.
134.28 	(d) Notwithstanding section 13.82, 13.87, or any other law to the contrary, if the court 
134.29 	issues an expungement order it may require that the criminal record be sealed, the existence 
134.30 	of the record not be revealed, and the record not be opened except as required under 
134.31 	subdivision 7. Records must not be destroyed or returned to the subject of the record.
135.1 	(e) Information relating to a criminal history record of an employee, former employee, 
135.2 	or tenant that has been expunged before the occurrence of the act giving rise to the civil 
135.3 	action may not be introduced as evidence in a civil action against a private employer or 
135.4 	landlord or its employees or agents that is based on the conduct of the employee, former 
135.5 	employee, or tenant.

135.19 	(2) when a criminal justice agency seeks access to a record that was sealed under section

135.21 	for lack of probable cause, for purposes of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or 
135.22 	sentencing, the requesting agency must obtain an ex parte court order after stating a 
135.23 	good-faith basis to believe that opening the record may lead to relevant information;
135.24 	(3) an expunged record of a conviction may be opened for purposes of evaluating a 
135.25 	prospective employee in a criminal justice agency without a court order;

136.11 	(c) An agency or jurisdiction subject to an expungement order shall maintain the record 
136.12 	in a manner that provides access to the record by a criminal justice agency under paragraph

136.20 	(d) An expunged record that is opened or exchanged under this subdivision remains 
136.21 	subject to the expungement order in the hands of the person receiving the record.
136.22 	(e) A criminal justice agency that receives an expunged record under paragraph (b), 
136.23 	clause (1) or (2), must maintain and store the record in a manner that restricts the use of the

137.31 	required for pardons and commutations with the governor in that majority.

138.1 	Sec. 28. [638.09] CLEMENCY REVIEW COMMISSION.
138.2 	(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 15, the Clemency Review Commission 
138.3 	is established to review applications for pardons or commutations before they are considered

138.26 	criminal conviction imposed under the laws of this state or commute a criminal sentence 
138.27 	imposed by a court of this state to time served or a lesser sentence. Every pardon or 
138.28 	commutation shall be in writing and shall have no force or effect unless granted by a majority 
138.29 	vote of the board with the governor in that majority. Every conditional pardon shall state 
138.30 	the terms and conditions upon which it was granted and every commutation shall specify 
138.31 	the terms of the commuted sentence.
138.32 	(b) When granted, a pardon has the effect of setting aside the conviction and purging 
138.33 	the conviction from the person's record. The person then is not required to disclose the 
139.1 	conviction at any time or place other than in a judicial proceeding or as part of the licensing 
139.2 	process for peace officers.
139.3 		Subd. 2.Eligibility for a pardon. (a) Any person convicted of a crime in any court of 
139.4 	this state may apply for a pardon of the person's conviction on or after five years from the 
139.5 	date of the expiration of the person's sentence or the date of the person's discharge. Upon 
139.6 	a showing of unusual circumstances and special need, the board may waive the required 
139.7 	waiting period by a majority vote with the governor in that majority.
139.8 	(b) The Clemency Review Commission shall review all requests for a waiver of the 
139.9 	waiting period and make recommendations by majority vote to the board. Consideration of 
139.10 	requests to waive the waiting period are exempt from the meeting requirements of this 
139.11 	chapter.
139.12 		Subd. 3.Eligibility for a commutation. (a) Any person may apply for a commutation 
139.13 	of an unexpired criminal sentence imposed by a court of this state, including those confined 
139.14 	in a correctional facility or on probation, parole, supervised release, or conditional release. 
139.15 	An application for commutation may not be filed until the date that the person has served 
139.16 	at least one-half of the sentence imposed or on or after five years from the date of the 
139.17 	conviction, whichever is less. Upon a showing of unusual circumstances and special need, 
139.18 	the board may waive the required waiting period by a majority vote with the governor in 
139.19 	that majority.
139.20 	(b) The commission shall review all requests for a waiver of the waiting period and 
139.21 	make recommendations by majority vote to the board. Consideration of requests to waive 
139.22 	the waiting period are exempt from the meeting requirements of this chapter.
139.23 		Subd. 4.Filing of a pardon or commutation. After granting a pardon or commutation, 
139.24 	the board shall file a copy of the pardon or commutation with the district court of the county 
139.25 	in which the conviction and sentence were imposed. In the case of a pardon, the court shall 
139.26 	order the conviction set aside, include a copy of the pardon in the court file, and send copies 
139.27 	of the order and the pardon to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. In the case of a 
139.28 	commutation, the court shall amend the sentence to reflect the specific relief granted by the 
139.29 	board, include a copy of the commutation in the court file, and send copies of the amended 
139.30 	sentencing order and commutation to the commissioner of corrections and the Bureau of 
139.31 	Criminal Apprehension.
139.32 		Subd. 5.Reapplication. (a) Once an application for a pardon or commutation has been 
139.33 	considered and denied on the merits, no subsequent application may be filed for five years 
139.34 	after the date of the most recent denial unless permission is granted from at least two board 
140.1 	members. A person may request permission to reapply prior to the expiration of the five-year 
140.2 	period based only on new and substantial information that was not and could not have been 
140.3 	previously considered by the board or the commission. If a request to reapply contains new 
140.4 	and substantial information, the commission shall review the request and make a 
140.5 	recommendation by majority vote to the board. Consideration of requests to reapply are 
140.6 	exempt from the meeting requirements under this chapter.
140.7 	(b) The denial or grant of an application for a commutation of sentence does not preclude 
140.8 	a person from later seeking a pardon of the criminal conviction once the eligibility 
140.9 	requirements of subdivision 2 have been satisfied.

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

160.25 	occurring within such person's state may not exceed the limits of liability set forth under 
160.26 	the Constitution and laws of that state for state officials, employees, and agents. Nothing

161.15 	ARTICLE VI
161.16 	RULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
161.17 	1. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate and publish rules in order to effectively 
161.18 	and efficiently achieve the purposes of the compact.
161.19 	2. Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in this article and the bylaws 
161.20 	and rules adopted pursuant thereto. Such rulemaking shall substantially conform to the 
161.21 	principles of the "Model State Administrative Procedures Act," 1981 Act, Uniform Laws 
161.22 	Annotated, Vol. 15, page 1 (2000), or such other administrative procedures act, as the 
161.23 	Interstate Commission deems appropriate consistent with due process requirements under 
161.24 	the United States Constitution as now or hereafter interpreted by the United States Supreme 
161.25 	Court. All rules and amendments shall become binding as of the date specified, as published 
161.26 	with the final version of the rule as approved by the commission.
161.27 	3. When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission shall, at a minimum:
161.28 	a. publish the proposed rule's entire text stating the reasons for that proposed rule;
161.29 	b. allow and invite any and all persons to submit written data, facts, opinions, and 
161.30 	arguments, which information shall be added to the record, and be made publicly available;
161.31 	c. provide an opportunity for an informal hearing if petitioned by ten or more persons; 
161.32 	and
162.1 	d. promulgate a final rule and its effective date, if appropriate, based on input from state 
162.2 	or local officials, or interested parties.

162.4 	promulgated, any interested person to file a petition in the United States District Court for 
162.5 	the District of Columbia or in the federal District Court where the Interstate Commission's 
162.6 	principal office is located for judicial review of such rule. If the court finds that the Interstate 
162.7 	Commission's action is not supported by substantial evidence in the rulemaking record, the 
162.8 	court shall hold the rule unlawful and set it aside. For purposes of this subsection, evidence 
162.9 	is substantial if it would be considered substantial evidence under the Model (State) 
162.10 	Administrative Procedures Act.
162.11 	5. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states rejects a rule, those states 
162.12 	may, by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, 
162.13 	cause that such rule shall have no further force and effect in any compacting state.
162.14 	6. The existing rules governing the operation of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles 
162.15 	superceded by this act shall be null and void 12 months after the first meeting of the Interstate 
162.16 	Commission created hereunder.
162.17 	7. Upon determination by the Interstate Commission that a state of emergency exists, it 
162.18 	may promulgate an emergency rule which shall become effective immediately upon adoption, 
162.19 	provided that the usual rulemaking procedures provided hereunder shall be retroactively 
162.20 	applied to said rule as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 90 days after the effective 
162.21 	date of the emergency rule.

163.9 	Section B. Dispute resolution.
163.10 	1. The compacting states shall report to the Interstate Commission on all issues and

163.17 	resolution for disputes among the compacting states.
163.18 	3. The Interstate Commission, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall enforce

163.28 	Commission's annual budget as approved each year. The aggregate annual assessment 
163.29 	amount shall be allocated based upon a formula to be determined by the Interstate 
163.30 	Commission, taking into consideration the population of each compacting state and the 
163.31 	volume of interstate movement of juveniles in each compacting state, and shall promulgate 
163.32 	a rule binding upon all compacting states which governs said assessment.
164.1 	3. The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of any kind prior to securing 
164.2 	the funds adequate to meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission pledge the credit 
164.3 	of any of the compacting states, except by and with the authority of the compacting state.
164.4 	4. The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and 
164.5 	disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be subject 
164.6 	to the audit and accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However, all receipts 
164.7 	and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate Commission shall be audited yearly 
164.8 	by a certified or licensed public accountant and the report of the audit shall be included in

164.16 	been appropriated and deposited in the fund established in this paragraph.

166.9 	AND JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT
166.10 	Section A. Withdrawal.
166.11 	1. Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each 
166.12 	and every compacting state; provided that a compacting state may withdraw from the 
166.13 	compact specifically repealing the statute, which enacted the compact into law.
166.14 	2. The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repeal.

166.16 	in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the withdrawing 
166.17 	state. The Interstate Commission shall notify the other compacting states of the withdrawing 
166.18 	state's intent to withdraw within 60 days of its receipt thereof.
166.19 	4. The withdrawing state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities

166.21 	of which extend beyond the effective date of withdrawal.
166.22 	5. Reinstatement following withdrawal of any compacting state shall occur upon the

166.24 	Interstate Commission.
166.25 	Section B. Technical assistance, fines, suspension, termination, and default.
166.26 	1. If the Interstate Commission determines that any compacting state has at any time 
166.27 	defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact, 
166.28 	or the bylaws or duly promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission may impose any or all 
166.29 	of the following penalties:
166.30 	a. remedial training and technical assistance as directed by the Interstate Commission;
166.31 	b. alternative dispute resolution;

167.2 	Interstate Commission;
167.3 	d. suspension or termination of membership in the compact, which shall be imposed 
167.4 	only after all other reasonable means of securing compliance under the bylaws and rules 
167.5 	have been exhausted and the Interstate Commission has therefore determined that the 
167.6 	offending state is in default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by the Interstate 
167.7 	Commission to the governor, the chief justice, or the chief judicial officer of the state; the 
167.8 	majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature; and the state council. The 
167.9 	grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting state to perform

167.18 	and benefits conferred by this compact shall be terminated from the effective date of 
167.19 	termination.
167.20 	2. Within 60 days of the effective date of termination of a defaulting state, the commission 
167.21 	shall notify the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the majority and minority 
167.22 	leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council of such termination.
167.23 	3. The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities 
167.24 	incurred through the effective date of termination including any obligations, the performance 
167.25 	of which extends beyond the effective date of termination.
167.26 	4. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to the defaulting state 
167.27 	unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and 
167.28 	the defaulting state.
167.29 	5. Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state requires both a 
167.30 	reenactment of the compact by the defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate 
167.31 	Commission pursuant to the rules.

168.1 	Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its offices, 
168.2 	to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, its duly promulgated rules and 
168.3 	bylaws, against any compacting state in default. In the event judicial enforcement is 
168.4 	necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including 
168.5 	reasonable attorney fees.
168.6 	Section D. Dissolution of compact.
168.7 	1. The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the 
168.8 	compacting state, which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state.
168.9 	2. Upon the dissolution of this compact, the compact becomes null and void and shall 
168.10 	be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission 
168.11 	shall be concluded and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.

168.16 	enforceable.
168.17 	2. The provisions of this compact shall be liberally constructed to effectuate its purposes.
168.18 	ARTICLE XIII
168.19 	BINDING EFFECT OF COMPACT AND OTHER LAWS
168.20 	Section A. Other laws.
168.21 	1. Nothing herein prevents the enforcement of any other law of a compacting state that 
168.22 	is not inconsistent with this compact.

168.29 	binding in accordance with their terms.
169.1 	3. Upon the request of a party to a conflict over meaning or interpretation of Interstate 
169.2 	Commission actions, and upon a majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate 
169.3 	Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning of interpretation.
169.4 	4. In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the constitutional limits imposed 
169.5 	on the legislature of any compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction 
169.6 	sought to be conferred by such provision upon the Interstate Commission shall be ineffective 
169.7 	and such obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction shall remain in the compacting state 
169.8 	and shall be exercised by the agency thereof to which such obligations, duties, powers, or 
169.9 	jurisdiction are delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes effective.

169.10 	ARTICLE 7
169.11 	COMMUNITY SUPERVISION REFORM

169.12 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.272, is amended to read:
169.13 	241.272 FEE COLLECTION; PROHIBITED.
169.14 		Subdivision 1.Definition. (a) As used in this section, the following terms have the 
169.15 	meanings given them.
169.16 	(b) "Correctional fees" include fees for the following correctional services:
169.17 	(1) community service work placement and supervision;
169.18 	(2) restitution collection;
169.19 	(3) supervision;
169.20 	(4) (2) court-ordered investigations; or
169.21 	(5) (3) any other service provided by a probation officer or parole agency for offenders 
169.22 	supervised by the commissioner of corrections, a local unit of government, or a community 
169.23 	corrections agency.
169.24 	(c) "Probation" has the meaning given in section 609.02, subdivision 15.
169.25 	(d) "Supervised release" has the meaning given in section 244.01, subdivision 7.
169.26 		Subd. 2.Correctional fees established. To defray costs associated with correctional 
169.27 	services, the commissioner of corrections may establish a schedule of correctional fees to 
169.28 	charge persons convicted of a crime and supervised by the commissioner. The correctional 
169.29 	fees on the schedule must be reasonably related to offenders' abilities to pay and the actual 
169.30 	cost of correctional services.
170.1 		Subd. 2a.Prohibition. The commissioner of corrections, local units of government, and 
170.2 	community corrections agencies are prohibited from assessing and collecting correctional 
170.3 	fees from persons on probation, parole, supervised release, or conditional release except as 
170.4 	otherwise provided in this section.
170.5 		Subd. 3.Fee collection. (a) The commissioner of corrections may impose and collect 
170.6 	fees from individuals on probation and supervised release at any time while the offender is 
170.7 	under sentence or after the sentence has been discharged.
170.8 	(b) The commissioner may use any available civil means of debt collection in collecting 
170.9 	a correctional fee.
170.10 		Subd. 4.Exemption from fee. The commissioner of corrections may waive payment 
170.11 	of the fee if the commissioner determines that the offender does not have the ability to pay 
170.12 	the fee, the prospects for payment are poor, or there are extenuating circumstances justifying 
170.13 	waiver of the fee. Instead of waiving the fee, the commissioner may require the offender to 
170.14 	perform community work service as a means of paying the fee.
170.15 		Subd. 5.Restitution payment priority. If an offender has been ordered by a court to 
170.16 	pay restitution, the offender shall be obligated to pay the restitution ordered before paying 
170.17 	the correctional fee. However, if the offender is making reasonable payments to satisfy the 
170.18 	restitution obligation, the commissioner may also collect a correctional fee.

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

171.4 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 243.05, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
171.5 		Subdivision 1.Conditional release. (a) The commissioner of corrections may parole 
171.6 	any person sentenced to confinement in any state correctional facility for adults under the 
171.7 	control of the commissioner of corrections, provided that:
171.8 	(1) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder before May 1, 1980, other 
171.9 	than murder committed in violation of clause (1) of section 609.185 who has not been 
171.10 	previously convicted of a felony shall be paroled without having served 20 years, less the 
171.11 	diminution that would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 20 
171.12 	years;
171.13 	(2) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder before May 1, 1980, who 
171.14 	has been previously convicted of a felony or though not previously convicted of a felony 
171.15 	is serving a life sentence for murder in the first degree committed in violation of clause (1) 
171.16 	of section 609.185 shall be paroled without having served 25 years, less the diminution 
171.17 	which would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 25 years;
171.18 	(3) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963, who would be eligible for parole 
171.19 	had the inmate been sentenced after September 1, 1963, shall be eligible for parole; and

171.21 	corrections which has the effect of postponing eligibility for parole has prospective effect 
171.22 	only and applies only with respect to persons committing offenses after the effective date 
171.23 	of the new rule or policy or change.
171.24 	(b) Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the legal custody and 
171.25 	under the control of the commissioner, subject at any time to be returned to a facility of the 
171.26 	Department of Corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment of convicted 
171.27 	persons and the parole rescinded by the commissioner.
171.28 	(c) The written order of the commissioner of corrections, is sufficient authority for any 
171.29 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
171.30 	and place in actual custody any person on parole or supervised release. In addition, when 
171.31 	it appears necessary in order to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and 
171.32 	probation agent or state correctional investigator may, without order of warrant, take and 
172.1 	detain a parolee or person on supervised release or work release and bring the person to the 
172.2 	commissioner for action.
172.3 	(d) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
172.4 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
172.5 	and place in actual custody any person on probation under the supervision of the 
172.6 	commissioner pursuant to section 609.135. Additionally, when it appears necessary in order 
172.7 	to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and probation agent or state 
172.8 	correctional investigator may, without an order, retake and detain a probationer and bring 
172.9 	the probationer before the court for further proceedings under section 609.14.
172.10 	(e) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
172.11 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to detain 
172.12 	any person on pretrial release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the 
172.13 	conditions of pretrial release.
172.14 	(f) Persons conditionally released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
172.15 	commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be placed within or outside 
172.16 	the boundaries of the state at the discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, 
172.17 	and the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced according to their conduct.
172.18 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, in considering applications for 
172.19 	conditional release or discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral argument 
172.20 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
172.21 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
172.22 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise, 
172.23 	as to the previous history, physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate and, to 
172.24 	that end, has the authority to require the attendance of the chief executive officer of any 
172.25 	state adult correctional facility and the production of the records of these facilities, and to 
172.26 	compel the attendance of witnesses. The commissioner is authorized to administer oaths to 
172.27 	witnesses for these purposes.
172.28 	(h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents may 
172.29 	require a person who is under the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
172.30 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
172.31 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
172.32 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
172.33 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
172.34 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
173.1 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
173.2 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
173.3 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
173.4 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
173.5 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
173.6 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
173.7 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
173.8 	period.
173.9 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
173.10 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
173.11 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
173.12 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
173.13 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
173.14 	under the circumstances.
173.15 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
173.16 	(i) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation 
173.17 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
173.18 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole or probation 
173.19 	agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
173.20 	not limited to, inpatient chemical dependency treatment. If a probation or parole agent 
173.21 	determines that community options are appropriate, the agent shall seek to restructure the 
173.22 	offender's terms of release to incorporate those options. If an offender on probation stipulates 
173.23 	in writing to restructure the terms of release, a probation agent must forward a report to the 
173.24 	district court containing:
173.25 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
173.26 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
173.27 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
173.28 	the restructuring of probation.
173.29 	The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by a 
173.30 	judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation and amend the terms of 
173.31 	the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135. If a nonviolent controlled substance 
173.32 	offender's parole or probation is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place 
173.33 	the offender in a local jail. For purposes of this paragraph, "nonviolent controlled substance 
174.1 	offender" is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 
174.2 	2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means any violation of a court order 
174.3 	of probation or a condition of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that 
174.4 	is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or petition.

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

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

176.22 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.19, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
176.23 		Subd. 5.Compensation. In counties of more than 200,000 population, a majority of the 
176.24 	judges of the district court may direct the payment of such salary to probation officers as 
176.25 	may be approved by the county board, and in addition thereto shall be reimbursed for all 
176.26 	necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. In all counties which 
176.27 	obtain probation services from the commissioner of corrections the commissioner shall, out 
176.28 	of appropriations provided therefor, pay probation officers the salary and all benefits fixed 
176.29 	by the state law or applicable bargaining unit and all necessary expenses, including secretarial 
176.30 	service, office equipment and supplies, postage, telephone and telegraph services, and travel 
176.31 	and subsistence. Each county receiving probation services from the commissioner of 
176.32 	corrections shall reimburse the department of corrections for the total cost and expenses of 
176.33 	such services as incurred by the commissioner of corrections, excluding the cost and expense 
176.34 	of services provided under the state's obligation in section 244.20. Total annual costs for 
177.1 	each county shall be that portion of the total costs and expenses for the services of one 
177.2 	probation officer represented by the ratio which the county's population bears to the total 
177.3 	population served by one officer. For the purposes of this section, the population of any 
177.4 	county shall be the most recent estimate made by the Department of Health. At least every 
177.5 	six months the commissioner of corrections shall bill for the total cost and expenses incurred

177.11 	expenses shall be presented to and determined by the commissioner of corrections. Each 
177.12 	county providing probation services under this section is hereby authorized to use unexpended 
177.13 	funds and to levy additional taxes for this purpose.
177.14 	The county commissioners of any county of not more than 200,000 population shall, 
177.15 	when requested to do so by the juvenile judge, provide probation officers with suitable 
177.16 	offices, and may provide equipment, and secretarial help needed to render the required 
177.17 	services.

182.2 	which have complied with the provisions of subdivision 1 and require financial aid to defray 
182.3 	all or a part of the expenses incurred by corrections advisory board members in discharging

182.7 	advance to the counties an amount not to exceed five percent of the maximum quarterly 
182.8 	subsidy grant for which the counties are eligible. The expenses described in this subdivision

182.15 	correctional facilities and adult detention and correctional facilities, and other activities 
182.16 	required to conform to the purposes of this chapter. No contrary general or special statute 
182.17 	divests any county or group of counties of the authority granted by this subdivision.
182.18 		Subd. 5.Intermediate sanctions. Unless the district court directs otherwise, county 
182.19 	probation officers may require a person committed to the officer's care by the court to 
182.20 	perform community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the 
182.21 	court. Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, 
182.22 	to aid the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Probation officers may impose up to eight hours 
182.23 	of community work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 
182.24 	12-month period, beginning on the date on which community work service is first imposed.

182.26 	40 hours of community work service, for a total of 64 hours per offender per 12-month 
182.27 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. At the

182.29 	notice to the offender that states:
182.30 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
182.31 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
182.32 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
182.33 	period.
183.1 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
183.2 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
183.3 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
183.4 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
183.5 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
183.6 	under the circumstances.
183.7 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.

183.8 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.04, is amended to read:
183.9 	401.04 ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY; SELECTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE 
183.10 	STRUCTURE; EMPLOYEES.
183.11 	Any county or group of counties electing to come within the provisions of sections 
183.12 	401.01 to 401.16 may (a) acquire by any lawful means, including purchase, lease or transfer 
183.13 	of custodial control, the lands, buildings and equipment necessary and incident to the 
183.14 	accomplishment of the purposes of sections 401.01 to 401.16, (b) determine and establish 
183.15 	the administrative structure best suited to the efficient administration and delivery of the 
183.16 	correctional services described in section 401.01, and (c) employ a director and other officers, 
183.17 	employees and agents as deemed necessary to carry out the provisions of sections 401.01
183.18 	to 401.16. To the extent that participating counties shall assume and take over state and 
183.19 	local correctional services presently provided in counties, employment shall be given to 
183.20 	those state and local officers, employees and agents thus displaced; if hired by a county, 
183.21 	employment shall, to the extent possible and notwithstanding the provisions of any other 
183.22 	law or ordinance to the contrary, be deemed a transfer in grade with all of the benefits 
183.23 	enjoyed by such officer, employee or agent while in the service of the state or local 
183.24 	correctional service.
183.25 	State or local employees displaced by county participation in the subsidy grant program 
183.26 	provided by this chapter are on layoff status and, if not hired by a participating county as 
183.27 	provided herein, may exercise their rights under layoff procedures established by law or 
183.28 	union agreement whichever is applicable.
183.29 	State or local officers and employees displaced by a county's participation in the 
183.30 	Community Corrections Act and hired by the participating county shall retain all fringe 
183.31 	benefits and recall from layoff benefits accrued by seniority and enjoyed by them while in 
183.32 	the service of the state.

184.1 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 401.06, is amended to read:
184.2 	401.06 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; STANDARDS OF ELIGIBILITY; 
184.3 	COMPLIANCE.
184.4 	No county or group of counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments
184.5 	electing to provide correctional services pursuant to sections 401.01 to 401.16 shall be 
184.6 	eligible for the subsidy grant herein provided unless and until its comprehensive plan shall 
184.7 	have been approved by the commissioner. The commissioner shall, pursuant to the 
184.8 	Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for
184.9 	CCA and CPO counties and Tribal governments to receive funds grants under sections 
184.10 	401.01 to 401.16. To remain eligible for subsidy grants counties and Tribal governments
184.11 	shall maintain substantial compliance with the minimum standards established pursuant to 
184.12 	sections 401.01 to 401.16 and the policies and procedures governing the services described 
184.13 	in section 401.025 as prescribed by the commissioner. Counties shall also be in substantial 
184.14 	compliance with other correctional operating standards permitted by law and established 
184.15 	by the commissioner and shall report statistics required by the commissioner including but 
184.16 	not limited to information on individuals convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
184.17 	identified in section 241.016, subdivision 1, paragraph (c). The commissioner shall review 
184.18 	annually the comprehensive plans submitted by participating counties and Tribal 
184.19 	governments, including the facilities and programs operated under the plans. The 
184.20 	commissioner is hereby authorized to enter upon any facility operated under the plan, and 
184.21 	inspect books and records, for purposes of recommending needed changes or improvements.
184.22 	When the commissioner provides supervision to a county that elects not to provide the 
184.23 	supervision, the commissioner shall prepare a comprehensive plan for the county and shall 
184.24 	present it to the local county board of commissioners. The Department of Corrections shall 
184.25 	be subject to all the standards and requirements established in sections 401.01 to 401.16 
184.26 	and promulgated rules.
184.27 	When the commissioner shall determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe 
184.28 	that a county or group of counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments is 
184.29 	not in substantial compliance with minimum standards, at least 30 days' notice shall be 
184.30 	given the county or counties or Tribal government or group of Tribal governments and a 
184.31 	hearing conducted by the commissioner to ascertain whether there is substantial compliance 
184.32 	or satisfactory progress being made toward compliance. The commissioner may suspend 
184.33 	all or a portion of any subsidy grant until the required standard of operation has been met.

185.1 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.09, is amended to read:
185.2 	401.09 OTHER SUBSIDY PROGRAMS; PURCHASE OF STATE SERVICES.
185.3 	Failure of a county or group of counties to elect to come within the provisions of sections 
185.4 	401.01 to 401.16 shall not affect their eligibility for any other state grant or subsidy for 
185.5 	correctional purposes otherwise provided by law. Any comprehensive plan submitted 
185.6 	pursuant to sections 401.01 to 401.16 may include the purchase of selected correctional 
185.7 	services from the state by contract, including the temporary detention and confinement of 
185.8 	persons convicted of crime or adjudicated delinquent; confinement to be in an appropriate 
185.9 	state facility as otherwise provided by law. The commissioner shall annually determine the 
185.10 	costs of the purchase of services under this section and deduct them from the subsidy grant
185.11 	due and payable to the county or counties concerned; provided that no contract shall exceed 
185.12 	in cost the amount of subsidy grant to which the participating county or counties are eligible.

185.13 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.10, is amended to read:
185.14 	401.10 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AID.
185.15 		Subdivision 1.Aid calculations Funding formula. To determine the community 
185.16 	corrections aid amount to be paid to each participating county, the commissioner of 
185.17 	corrections must apply the following formula:
185.18 	(1) For each of the 87 counties in the state, a percent score must be calculated for each 
185.19 	of the following five factors:
185.20 	(i) percent of the total state population aged ten to 24 residing within the county according 
185.21 	to the most recent federal census, and, in the intervening years between the taking of the 
185.22 	federal census, according to the most recent estimate of the state demographer;
185.23 	(ii) percent of the statewide total number of felony case filings occurring within the 
185.24 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
185.25 	(iii) percent of the statewide total number of juvenile case filings occurring within the 
185.26 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
185.27 	(iv) percent of the statewide total number of gross misdemeanor case filings occurring 
185.28 	within the county, as determined by the state court administrator; and
185.29 	(v) percent of the total statewide number of convicted felony offenders who did not 
185.30 	receive an executed prison sentence, as monitored and reported by the Sentencing Guidelines 
185.31 	Commission.
186.1 	The percents in items (ii) to (v) must be calculated by combining the most recent 
186.2 	three-year period of available data. The percents in items (i) to (v) each must sum to 100 
186.3 	percent across the 87 counties.
186.4 	(2) For each of the 87 counties, the county's percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), must 
186.5 	be weighted, summed, and divided by the sum of the weights to yield an average percent 
186.6 	for each county, referred to as the county's "composite need percent." When performing 
186.7 	this calculation, the weight for each of the percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), is 1.0. The 
186.8 	composite need percent must sum to 100 percent across the 87 counties.
186.9 	(3) For each of the 87 counties, the county's "adjusted net tax capacity percent" is the 
186.10 	county's adjusted net tax capacity amount, defined in the same manner as it is defined for 
186.11 	cities in section 477A.011, subdivision 20, divided by the statewide total adjusted net tax 
186.12 	capacity amount. The adjusted net tax capacity percent must sum to 100 percent across the 
186.13 	87 counties.
186.14 	(4) For each of the 87 counties, the county's composite need percent must be divided by 
186.15 	the county's adjusted net tax capacity percent to produce a ratio that, when multiplied by 
186.16 	the county's composite need percent, results in the county's "tax base adjusted need percent."
186.17 	(5) For each of the 87 counties, the county's tax base adjusted need percent must be 
186.18 	added to twice the composite need percent, and the sum must be divided by 3, to yield the 
186.19 	county's "weighted need percent."
186.20 	(6) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be added to the weighted 
186.21 	need percent of each other participating county to yield the "total weighted need percent 
186.22 	for participating counties."
186.23 	(7) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be divided by the total 
186.24 	weighted need percent for participating counties to yield the county's "share percent." The 
186.25 	share percents for participating counties must sum to 100 percent.
186.26 	(8) Each participating county's "base funding amount" is the aid amount that the county 
186.27 	received under this section for fiscal year 1995 plus the amount received in caseload or 
186.28 	workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision grants in fiscal 
186.29 	year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections. In fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, 
186.30 	no county's aid amount under this section may be less than its base funding amount, provided 
186.31 	that the total amount appropriated for this purpose is at least as much as the aggregate base 
186.32 	funding amount defined in clause (9).
187.1 	(9) The "aggregate base funding amount" is equal to the sum of the base funding amounts 
187.2 	for all participating counties. If a county that participated under this section chooses not to 
187.3 	participate in any given year, then the aggregate base funding amount must be reduced by 
187.4 	that county's base funding amount. If a county that did not participate under this section in 
187.5 	fiscal year 1995 chooses to participate on or after July 1, 2015, then the aggregate base 
187.6 	funding amount must be increased by the amount of aid that the county would have received 
187.7 	had it participated in fiscal year 1995 plus the estimated amount it would have received in 
187.8 	caseload or workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision 
187.9 	grants in fiscal year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections, and the amount 
187.10 	of increase shall be that county's base funding amount.
187.11 	(10) In any given year, the total amount appropriated for this purpose first must be 
187.12 	allocated to participating counties in accordance with each county's base funding amount. 
187.13 	Then, any remaining amount in excess of the aggregate base funding amount must be 
187.14 	allocated to participating counties in proportion to each county's share percent, and is referred 
187.15 	to as the county's "formula amount."
187.16 	Each participating county's "community corrections aid amount" equals the sum of (i) 
187.17 	the county's base funding amount, and (ii) the county's formula amount.
187.18 	(11) However, if in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section 
187.19 	is less than the aggregate base funding amount, then each participating county's community 
187.20 	corrections aid amount is the product of (i) the county's base funding amount multiplied by 
187.21 	(ii) the ratio of the total amount appropriated to the aggregate base funding amount.
187.22 	For each participating county, the county's community corrections aid amount calculated 
187.23 	in this subdivision is the total amount of subsidy to which the county is entitled under 
187.24 	sections 401.01 to 401.16.
187.25 	(a) The state shall institute one funding formula for supervising people in the community. 
187.26 	For fiscal year 2023, the commissioner shall use the following formula to determine each 
187.27 	county and Tribal government grant and the department's funding for supervision in counties 
187.28 	or Tribal jurisdictions served by the department. Funding and allocations for intensive 
187.29 	supervised release are not included in the formula and regardless of the results of the formula, 
187.30 	in fiscal year 2023, the commissioner shall provide 50 percent funding to CPO counties as 
187.31 	previously required in section 244.19, subdivision 6. The following amounts shall be summed 
187.32 	to arrive at the total for a county, Tribal government, or the department:
187.33 	(1) $250,000;
188.1 	(2) ten percent of the total appropriation for community supervision and postrelease 
188.2 	services to the department for community supervision in fiscal year 2022 multiplied by the 
188.3 	county's or Tribe's percentage of the state's total population;
188.4 	(3) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
188.5 	in fiscal year 2022 multiplied by the county's or Tribe's percentage of the state's total 
188.6 	geographic area;
188.7 	(4) the result of the following methodology:
188.8 	(i) use the county's felony supervision population as reflected in the most recent probation 
188.9 	survey by the department and analysis conducted in 2021 by an independent contractor;
188.10 	(ii) use the hours required to supervise the felony population based on 2,080 hours of 
188.11 	full-time equivalent officer time in one year; and
188.12 	(iii) assume a $100,000 cost for each full-time equivalent officer and multiply that 
188.13 	amount by the average full-time equivalent time for the county for one year; and
188.14 	(5) the department may prorate the total amount distributed in clauses (2), (3), and (4), 
188.15 	as necessary, so as to not exceed the total appropriation for fiscal year 2023.
188.16 	(b) For use in fiscal year 2024 and beyond, to replace the methodology in paragraph (a), 
188.17 	clause (4), the state shall implement a workload methodology developed by the Supervision 
188.18 	Standards Committee to calculate the average per diem costs of supervising people in 
188.19 	communities and accounting for people of different risk and need levels who are juveniles, 
188.20 	on probation for a misdemeanor, on probation for a gross misdemeanor, on probation for a 
188.21 	felony, on supervised or conditional release, or on intensive supervised release. The 
188.22 	Department of Corrections and the Supervision Standards Committee shall report the 
188.23 	methodology and the calculated fiscal impacts of the formula described in this paragraph 
188.24 	estimated for each of fiscal years 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 to the chairs and ranking 
188.25 	minority members of the legislative committees with jurisdiction over public safety finance 
188.26 	and policy, to the governor, and to the Department of Management and Budget by October 
188.27 	15, 2022, for consideration in biennial budget development under section 16A.10, subdivision 
188.28 	2. The department may prorate the total amount distributed in fiscal year 2024 and subsequent 
188.29 	years as necessary, so as to not exceed the total appropriation for that fiscal year.
188.30 	(c) The reimbursement formulas developed under paragraphs (a) and (b) must:
188.31 	(1) limit the weight of a misdemeanor case to no more than one-half of the weight 
188.32 	assigned to a felony case with a comparable risk level assessment for purposes of calculating 
188.33 	weighted caseloads; and
189.1 	(2) account for the absence of work performed in an entity's caseload that occurs when 
189.2 	offenders under the entity's supervision are reincarcerated. The formulas must reduce an 
189.3 	entity's current grant award by the amount of savings that would have been generated in 
189.4 	the prior year from supervision that was not performed because of offender reincarceration.
189.5 		Subd. 2.Transfer of funds. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the commissioner 
189.6 	of corrections, after notifying the committees on finance of the senate and ways and means 
189.7 	of the house of representatives, may, at the end of any fiscal year, transfer any unobligated 
189.8 	funds, including funds available due the withdrawal of a county under section 401.16, in 
189.9 	any appropriation to the Department of Corrections to the appropriation under sections 
189.10 	401.01 to 401.16, which appropriation shall not cancel but is reappropriated for the purposes 
189.11 	of sections 401.01 to 401.16.
189.12 		Subd. 3.Formula review. Prior to January 16, 2002, the committees with jurisdiction 
189.13 	over community corrections funding decisions in the house of representatives and the senate, 
189.14 	in consultation with the Department of Corrections and any interested county organizations, 
189.15 	must review the formula in subdivision 1 and make recommendations to the legislature for 
189.16 	its continuation, modification, replacement, or discontinuation. (a) For fiscal year 2024 and 
189.17 	subsequent fiscal years, the commissioner shall make a funding recommendation based 
189.18 	upon the following two components:
189.19 	(1) for the first component the following amounts shall be summed to arrive at the total 
189.20 	for a county, Tribal government, or the department:
189.21 	(i) $250,000;
189.22 	(ii) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
189.23 	in the previous fiscal year multiplied by the county's percentage of the state's total population 
189.24 	according to 2020 census data; and
189.25 	(iii) ten percent of the total appropriation to the department for community supervision 
189.26 	in the previous fiscal year multiplied by the county's percentage of the state's total geographic 
189.27 	area as reflected in square miles; and
189.28 	(2) for the second component funding shall reflect the results of the workload study in 
189.29 	subdivision 1, paragraph (b).
189.30 	(b) Every six years the workload study shall be repeated and updated by the Department 
189.31 	of Corrections in consultation with the Community Supervision Advisory Board if 
189.32 	established.
190.1 	(c) For the purposes of the recommendations required under this section, every six years 
190.2 	the $250,000 base amount shall be adjusted to reflect the statewide average cost of 2.5 
190.3 	probation officer full-time equivalent employees.

190.4 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.11, is amended to read:
190.5 	401.11 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITEMS; GRANT REVIEW.
190.6 		Subdivision 1.Items. The comprehensive plan submitted to the commissioner for 
190.7 	approval shall include those items prescribed by rule of the commissioner, which may 
190.8 	require the inclusion of the following: (a) the manner in which presentence and postsentence 
190.9 	investigations and reports for the district courts and social history reports for the juvenile 
190.10 	courts will be made; (b) the manner in which conditional release services to the courts and 
190.11 	persons under jurisdiction of the commissioner of corrections will be provided; (c) a program 
190.12 	for the detention, supervision, and treatment of persons under pretrial detention or under 
190.13 	commitment; (d) delivery of other correctional services defined in section 401.01; (e) 
190.14 	proposals for new programs, which proposals must demonstrate a need for the program, its 
190.15 	purpose, objective, administrative structure, staffing pattern, staff training, financing, 
190.16 	evaluation process, degree of community involvement, client participation, and duration of 
190.17 	program.
190.18 		Subd. 2.Review. In addition to the foregoing requirements made by this section, each 
190.19 	participating CCA county or group of counties shall develop and implement a procedure 
190.20 	for the review of grant applications made to the corrections advisory board and for the 
190.21 	manner in which corrections advisory board action will be taken on them. A description of 
190.22 	this procedure must be made available to members of the public upon request.

190.23 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.12, is amended to read:
190.24 	401.12 CONTINUATION OF CURRENT SPENDING LEVEL BY COUNTIES.
190.25 	Participating counties shall not diminish their current level of spending for correctional 
190.26 	expenses as defined in section 401.01, to the extent of any subsidy grant received pursuant 
190.27 	to sections 401.01 to 401.16; rather the subsidy grant herein provided is for the expenditure 
190.28 	for correctional purposes in excess of those funds currently being expended. Should a 
190.29 	participating county be unable to expend the full amount of the subsidy grant to which it 
190.30 	would be entitled in any one year under the provisions of sections 401.01 to 401.16, the 
190.31 	commissioner shall retain the surplus, subject to disbursement in the following year wherein 
190.32 	such county can demonstrate a need for and ability to expend same for the purposes provided 
190.33 	in section 401.01. If in any biennium the subsidy grant is increased by an inflationary 
191.1 	adjustment which results in the county receiving more actual subsidy grant than it did in 
191.2 	the previous calendar year, the county shall be eligible for that increase only if the current 
191.3 	level of spending is increased by a percentage equal to that increase within the same 
191.4 	biennium.

191.5 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.14, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
191.6 		Subdivision 1.Payment. Upon compliance by a county or group of counties with the 
191.7 	prerequisites for participation in the subsidy grant prescribed by sections 401.01 to 401.16, 
191.8 	and approval of the comprehensive plan by the commissioner, the commissioner shall 
191.9 	determine whether funds exist for the payment of the subsidy grant and proceed to pay same 
191.10 	in accordance with applicable rules.

191.11 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.14, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
191.12 		Subd. 3.Installment payments. The commissioner of corrections shall make payments 
191.13 	for community corrections services to each county in 12 installments per year. The 
191.14 	commissioner shall ensure that the pertinent payment of the allotment for each month is 
191.15 	made to each county on the first working day after the end of each month of the calendar 
191.16 	year, except for the last month of the calendar year. The commissioner shall ensure that 
191.17 	each county receives its payment of the allotment for that month no later than the last 
191.18 	working day of that month. The payment described in this subdivision for services rendered 
191.19 	during June 1985 shall be made on the first working day of July 1985.

191.20 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.15, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
191.21 		Subd. 2.Ranking review. The commissioner shall biennially review the ranking accorded 
191.22 	each county by the equalization formula provided in section 401.10 and compute the subsidy
191.23 	grant rate accordingly.

191.24 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 401.16, is amended to read:
191.25 	401.16 WITHDRAWAL FROM PROGRAM.
191.26 	Any participating county or Tribal government may, at the beginning of any calendar 
191.27 	quarter, by resolution of its board of commissioners or Tribal government leaders, notify 
191.28 	the commissioner of its intention to withdraw from the subsidy grant program established 
191.29 	by sections 401.01 to 401.16, and the withdrawal shall be effective the last day of the last 
191.30 	month of the third quarter in after which the notice was given. Upon withdrawal, the 
191.31 	unexpended balance of moneys allocated to the county, or that amount necessary to reinstate 
192.1 	state correctional services displaced by that county's participation, including complement 
192.2 	positions, may, upon approval of the legislative advisory commission, be transferred to the 
192.3 	commissioner for the reinstatement of the displaced services and the payment of any other 
192.4 	correctional subsidies for which the withdrawing county had previously been eligible.

228.22 	Sec. 5. [548.68] EFFECT OF REGISTRATION.
228.23 	(a) Subject to paragraph (b), a Canadian judgment registered under section 548.67 has 
228.24 	the same effect provided in section 548.60 for a judgment a court determines to be entitled 
228.25 	to recognition.
228.26 	(b) A Canadian judgment registered under section 548.67 may not be enforced by sale 
228.27 	or other disposition of property, or by seizure of property or garnishment, until 31 days after 
228.28 	notice under section 548.69 of registration is served. The court for cause may provide for 
228.29 	a shorter or longer time. This paragraph does not preclude use of relief available under law 
228.30 	of this state other than sections 548.64 to 548.74 to prevent dissipation, disposition, or 
228.31 	removal of property.

228.32 	Sec. 6. [548.69] NOTICE OF REGISTRATION.
228.33 	(a) A person that registers a Canadian judgment under section 548.67 shall cause notice 
228.34 	of registration to be served on the person against whom the judgment has been registered.
229.1 	(b) Notice under this section must be served in the same manner that a summons and 
229.2 	complaint must be served in an action seeking recognition under section 548.59 of a 
229.3 	foreign-country money judgment.
229.4 	(c) Notice under this section must include:
229.5 	(1) the date of registration and court in which the judgment was registered;
229.6 	(2) the docket number assigned to the registration;
229.7 	(3) the name and address of:
229.8 	(i) the person registering the judgment; and
229.9 	(ii) the person's attorney, if any;
229.10 	(4) a copy of the registration, including the documents required under section 548.67, 
229.11 	paragraph (b); and
229.12 	(5) a statement that:
229.13 	(i) the person against whom the judgment has been registered, not later than 30 days 
229.14 	after the date of service of notice, may petition the court to vacate the registration; and
229.15 	(ii) the court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time.
229.16 	(d) Proof of service of notice under this section must be filed with the court administrator.

229.17 	Sec. 7. [548.70] PETITION TO VACATE REGISTRATION.
229.18 	(a) Not later than 30 days after notice under section 548.69 is served, the person against 
229.19 	whom the judgment was registered may petition the court to vacate the registration. The 
229.20 	court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time for filing the petition.
229.21 	(b) A petition under this section may assert only:
229.22 	(1) a ground that could be asserted to deny recognition of the judgment under sections 
229.23 	548.54 to 548.63; or
229.24 	(2) a failure to comply with a requirement of sections 548.64 to 548.74 for registration 
229.25 	of the judgment.
229.26 	(c) A petition filed under this section does not itself stay enforcement of the registered 
229.27 	judgment.
229.28 	(d) If the court grants a petition under this section, the registration is vacated, and any 
229.29 	act under the registration to enforce the registered judgment is void.
230.1 	(e) If the court grants a petition under this section on a ground under paragraph (b), 
230.2 	clause (1), the court also shall render a judgment denying recognition of the Canadian 
230.3 	judgment. A judgment rendered under this section has the same effect as a judgment denying 
230.4 	recognition to a judgment on the same ground under sections 548.54 to 548.63.

230.5 	Sec. 8. [548.71] STAY OF ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENT PENDING 
230.6 	DETERMINATION OF PETITION.
230.7 	A person that files a petition under section 548.70, paragraph (a), to vacate registration 
230.8 	of a Canadian judgment may request the court to stay enforcement of the judgment pending 
230.9 	determination of the petition. The court shall grant the stay if the person establishes a 
230.10 	likelihood of success on the merits with regard to a ground listed in section 548.70, paragraph 
230.11 	(b), for vacating a registration. The court may require the person to provide security in an 
230.12 	amount determined by the court as a condition of granting the stay.

230.13 	Sec. 9. [548.72] RELATIONSHIP TO UNIFORM FOREIGN-COUNTRY MONEY 
230.14 	JUDGMENTS RECOGNITION ACT.
230.15 	(a) Sections 548.64 to 548.74 supplement the Uniform Foreign-Country Money 
230.16 	Judgments Recognition Act, and sections 548.54 to 548.63, other than section 548.59, apply 
230.17 	to a registration under sections 548.64 to 548.74.
230.18 	(b) A person may seek recognition of a Canadian judgment described in section 548.66 
230.19 	either:
230.20 	(1) by registration under sections 548.64 to 548.74; or
230.21 	(2) under section 548.59.
230.22 	(c) Subject to paragraph (d), a person may not seek recognition in this state of the same 
230.23 	judgment or part of a judgment described in section 548.66, paragraph (b) or (c), with regard 
230.24 	to the same person under both sections 548.59 and 548.64 to 548.74.
230.25 	(d) If the court grants a petition to vacate a registration solely on a ground under section 
230.26 	548.70, paragraph (b), clause (2), the person seeking registration may:
230.27 	(1) if the defect in the registration can be cured, file a new registration under sections 
230.28 	548.64 to 548.74; or
230.29 	(2) seek recognition of the judgment under section 548.59.

231.1 	Sec. 10. [548.73] UNIFORMITY OF APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION.
231.2 	In applying and construing this uniform act, consideration must be given to the need to 
231.3 	promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact it.

231.4 	Sec. 11. [548.74] TRANSITIONAL PROVISION.
231.5 	Sections 548.64 to 548.74 apply to the registration of a Canadian judgment entered in 
231.6 	a proceeding that is commenced in Canada on or after the effective date of sections 548.64 
231.7 	to 548.74.

231.8 	Sec. 12. EFFECTIVE DATE.
 231.9 	Sections 1 to 11 are effective January 1, 2023.

231.10 	ARTICLE 12
231.11 	HUMAN RIGHTS

231.12 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.03, is amended by adding a subdivision 
231.13 	to read:
231.14 		Subd. 36a.Race. "Race" is inclusive of traits associated with race, including but not 
231.15 	limited to hair texture and hair styles such as braids, locks, and twists.

231.16 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.08, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
231.17 	read:
231.18 		Subd. 8.Inquiries into pay history prohibited. (a) "Pay history," as used in this 
231.19 	subdivision, means any prior or current wage, salary, earnings, benefits, or any other 
231.20 	compensation about an applicant for employment.
231.21 	(b) An employer, employment agency, or labor organization shall not inquire into, 
231.22 	consider, or require disclosure from any source the pay history of an applicant for 
231.23 	employment for the purpose of determining wages, salary, earnings, benefits, or other 
231.24 	compensation for that applicant. There is a rebuttable presumption that use of pay history 
231.25 	received on an applicant for employment to determine the future wages, salary, earnings, 
231.26 	benefits, or other compensation for that applicant is an unfair discriminatory employment 
231.27 	practice under subdivisions 1 to 3. The general prohibition against inquiring into the pay 
231.28 	history of an applicant does not apply if the job applicant's pay history is a matter of public 
231.29 	record under federal or state law, unless the employer, employment agency, or labor 
231.30 	organization sought access to those public records with the intent of obtaining pay history 
232.1 	of the applicant for the purpose of determining wages, salary, earnings, benefits, or other 
232.2 	compensation for that applicant.
232.3 	(c) Nothing in this subdivision shall prevent an applicant for employment from voluntarily 
232.4 	and without prompting disclosing pay history for the purposes of negotiating wages, salary, 
232.5 	benefits, or other compensation. If an applicant for employment voluntarily and without 
232.6 	prompting discloses pay history to a prospective employer, employment agency, or labor 
232.7 	organization, nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit that employer, employment agency, 
232.8 	or labor organization from considering or acting on that voluntarily disclosed salary history 
232.9 	information to support a wage or salary higher than initially offered by the employer, 
232.10 	employment agency, or labor organization.
232.11 	(d) Nothing in this subdivision limits, prohibits, or prevents a person from bringing a 
232.12 	charge, grievance, or any other cause of action alleging wage discrimination because of 
232.13 	race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, marital status, status with 
232.14 	regard to public assistance, familial status, membership or activity in a local commission, 
232.15 	disability, sexual orientation, or age, as otherwise provided in this chapter.
232.16 	(e) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent an employer from:
232.17 	(1) providing information about the wages, benefits, compensation, or salary offered in 
232.18 	relation to a position; or
232.19 	(2) inquiring about or otherwise engaging in discussions with an applicant about the 
232.20 	applicant's expectations or requests with respect to wages, salary, benefits, or other 
232.21 	compensation.

232.22 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2023. For employment covered 
232.23 	by collective bargaining agreements, this section is not effective until the date of 
232.24 	implementation of the applicable collective bargaining agreement that is after January 1, 
232.25 	2023.

232.26 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.11, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
232.27 		Subd. 2.General prohibitions. This subdivision lists general prohibitions against 
232.28 	discrimination on the basis of disability. For purposes of this subdivision, "individual" or 
232.29 	"class of individuals" refers to the clients or customers of the covered public accommodation 
232.30 	that enter into the contractual, licensing, or other arrangement.
232.31 	(1) It is discriminatory to:
233.1 	(i) subject an individual or class of individuals on the basis of a disability of that 
233.2 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, to a 
233.3 	denial of the opportunity of the individual or class to participate in or benefit from the goods, 
233.4 	services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of an entity;
233.5 	(ii) afford an individual or class of individuals on the basis of the disability of that 
233.6 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, with 
233.7 	the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the goods, services, facilities, privileges, 
233.8 	advantages, or accommodations that are not equal to those afforded to other individuals; 
233.9 	and
233.10 	(iii) provide an individual or class of individuals, on the basis of a disability of that 
233.11 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, with 
233.12 	goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations that are different or 
233.13 	separate from those provided to other individuals, unless the action is necessary to provide 
233.14 	the individual or class of individuals with goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, 
233.15 	or accommodations, or other opportunities that are as effective as those provided to others.; 
233.16 	and
233.17 	(iv) not provide a deaf or hard-of-hearing individual or class of deaf or hard-of-hearing 
233.18 	individuals with closed-captioned television when television services are provided to other 
233.19 	individuals.
233.20 	(2) Goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations must be 
233.21 	afforded to an individual with a disability in the most integrated setting appropriate to the 
233.22 	needs of the individual.
233.23 	(3) Notwithstanding the existence of separate or different programs or activities provided 
233.24 	in accordance with sections 363A.08 to 363A.19, and 363A.28, subdivision 10, the individual 
233.25 	with a disability may not be denied the opportunity to participate in the programs or activities 
233.26 	that are not separate or different.
233.27 	(4) An individual or entity may not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, 
233.28 	use standards or criteria and methods of administration:
233.29 	(i) that have the effect of discriminating on the basis of disability; or
233.30 	(ii) that perpetuate the discrimination of others who are subject to common administrative 
233.31 	control.

233.32 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2023.

234.1 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.21, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
234.2 		Subdivision 1.Housing. The provisions of section 363A.09 shall not apply to:
234.3 	(1) rooms in a temporary or permanent residence home run by a nonprofit organization, 
234.4 	if the discrimination is by sex; or
234.5 	(2) the rental by a resident owner or occupier of a one-family accommodation of a room 
234.6 	or rooms in the accommodation to another person or persons if the discrimination is by sex, 
234.7 	marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, or disability. Except 
234.8 	as provided elsewhere in this chapter or other state or federal law, no person or group of 
234.9 	persons selling, renting, or leasing property is required to modify the property in any way, 
234.10 	or exercise a higher degree of care for a person having a disability than for a person who 
234.11 	does not have a disability; nor shall this chapter be construed to relieve any person or persons 
234.12 	of any obligations generally imposed on all persons regardless of any disability in a written 
234.13 	lease, rental agreement, or contract of purchase or sale, or to forbid distinctions based on 
234.14 	the inability to fulfill the terms and conditions, including financial obligations of the lease, 
234.15 	agreement, or contract; or.
234.16 	(3) the rental by a resident owner of a unit in a dwelling containing not more than two 
234.17 	units, if the discrimination is on the basis of sexual orientation.

235.9 	(f) "Organ transplant" means the transplantation or infusion of a part of a human body 
235.10 	into the body of another for the purpose of treating or curing a medical condition.

235.12 	networks, the provision of auxiliary aids and services, or reasonable modifications to policies 
235.13 	or practices, meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of an anatomical 
235.14 	gift.
235.15 	(h) "Reasonable modifications" include, but are not limited to:

236.23 	individual with a disability is denied services such as transplantation-related counseling, 
236.24 	information, coverage, or treatment because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, 
236.25 	unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature

237.6 	ARTICLE 13
237.7 	OTHER CIVIL LAW POLICY

237.8 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 169A.63, subdivision 8, is 
237.9 	amended to read:
237.10 		Subd. 8.Administrative forfeiture procedure. (a) A motor vehicle used to commit a 
237.11 	designated offense or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation is subject 
237.12 	to administrative forfeiture under this subdivision.
237.13 	(b) Within 60 days from when a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within 
237.14 	a reasonable time after seizure, the appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of 
237.15 	the vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the vehicle. Additionally, when 
237.16 	a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all 
237.17 	persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest in the vehicle must 
237.18 	be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit the vehicle. For those vehicles required to 
237.19 	be registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known to have a security interest 
237.20 	in the vehicle is required only if the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest 
237.21 	is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or prosecuting 
237.22 	authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed 
237.23 	90 days for good cause shown. Notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in 
237.24 	Department of Public Safety records is sufficient notice to the registered owner of the 
237.25 	vehicle. For motor vehicles not required to be registered under chapter 168, notice mailed 
237.26 	by certified mail to the address shown in the applicable filing or registration for the vehicle 
237.27 	is sufficient notice to a person known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest 
237.28 	in the vehicle. Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for service 
237.29 	of a summons in a civil action.
237.30 	(c) The notice must be in writing and contain:
237.31 	(1) a description of the vehicle seized;
237.32 	(2) the date of seizure; and
238.1 	(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for 
238.2 	obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the 
238.3 	appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
238.4 	Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
238.5 	"WARNING: If you were the person arrested when the property was seized, you will 
238.6 	automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do 
238.7 	not file a lawsuit and serve the prosecuting authority within 60 days. You may file your 
238.8 	lawsuit in conciliation court if the property is worth $15,000 or less; otherwise, you must 
238.9 	file in district court. You do not have to pay a filing fee for your lawsuit.
238.10 	WARNING: If you have an ownership interest in the above-described property and were 
238.11 	not the person arrested when the property was seized, you will automatically lose the 
238.12 	above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do not notify the 
238.13 	prosecuting authority of your interest in writing within 60 days."
238.14 	(d) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (b), and no time extension is granted 
238.15 	or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the vehicle to the 
238.16 	owner. An agency's return of property due to lack of proper notice does not restrict the 
238.17 	agency's authority to commence a forfeiture proceeding at a later time.
238.18 	(e) Within 60 days following service of a notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
238.19 	subdivision, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial determination of the forfeiture. The 
238.20 	demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and must be filed with the court 
238.21 	administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, together with proof of service of 
238.22 	a copy of the complaint on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the forfeiture. 
238.23 	The claimant may serve the complaint by certified mail or any means permitted by court 
238.24 	rules. If the value of the seized property is $15,000 or less, the claimant may file an action 
238.25 	in conciliation court for recovery of the seized vehicle. A copy of the conciliation court 
238.26 	statement of claim must may be served personally or by mail as permitted by the Rules of 
238.27 	Conciliation Court Procedure on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the 
238.28 	forfeiture within 60 days following service of the notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
238.29 	subdivision. The claimant does not have to pay the court filing fee.
238.30 	No responsive pleading is required of the prosecuting authority and no court fees may 
238.31 	be charged for the prosecuting authority's appearance in the matter. The prosecuting authority 
238.32 	may appear for the appropriate agency. Pleadings, filings, and methods of service are 
238.33 	governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure and, where applicable, by the Rules of Conciliation 
238.34 	Court Procedure.
239.1 	(f) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the claimant as plaintiff and the 
239.2 	seized vehicle as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
239.3 	alleges the vehicle was improperly seized, the claimant's interest in the vehicle seized, and 
239.4 	any affirmative defenses the claimant may have. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, 
239.5 	an action for the return of a vehicle seized under this section may not be maintained by or 
239.6 	on behalf of any person who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless 
239.7 	the person has complied with this subdivision.
239.8 	(g) If the claimant makes a timely demand for a judicial determination under this 
239.9 	subdivision, the forfeiture proceedings must be conducted as provided under subdivision 
239.10 	9.

239.11 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

239.12 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 259.11, is amended to read:
239.13 	259.11 ORDER; FILING COPIES.
239.14 	(a) Upon meeting the requirements of section 259.10, the court shall grant the application 
239.15 	unless: (1) it finds that there is an intent to defraud or mislead; (2) section 259.13 prohibits 
239.16 	granting the name change; or (3) in the case of the change of a minor child's name, the court 
239.17 	finds that such name change is not in the best interests of the child. The court shall set forth 
239.18 	in the order the name and age of the applicant's spouse and each child of the applicant, if 
239.19 	any, and shall state a description of the lands, if any, in which the applicant and the spouse 
239.20 	and children, if any, claim to have an interest. The court administrator shall file such order, 
239.21 	and record the same in the judgment book. If lands be described therein, a certified copy of 
239.22 	the order shall be filed for record, by the applicant, with the county recorder of each county 
239.23 	wherein any of the same are situated. Before doing so the court administrator shall present 
239.24 	the same to the county auditor who shall enter the change of name in the auditor's official 
239.25 	records and note upon the instrument, over an official signature, the words "change of name 
239.26 	recorded." Any such order shall not be filed, nor any certified copy thereof be issued, until 
239.27 	the applicant shall have paid to the county recorder and court administrator the fee required 
239.28 	by law. No application shall be denied on the basis of the marital status of the applicant.
239.29 	(b) When a person applies for a name change, the court shall determine whether the 
239.30 	person has a criminal history in this or any other state. The court may conduct a search of 
239.31 	national records through the Federal Bureau of Investigation by submitting a set of 
239.32 	fingerprints and the appropriate fee to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. If it is 
239.33 	determined that the person has a criminal history in this or any other state, the court shall, 
239.34 	within ten days after the name change application is granted, report the name change to the 
240.1 	Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The person whose name is changed shall also report the 
240.2 	change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension within ten days. The court granting the 
240.3 	name change application must explain this reporting duty in its order. Any person required 
240.4 	to report the person's name change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who fails to 
240.5 	report the name change as required under this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
240.6 	(c) Paragraph (b) does not apply to either:
240.7 	(1) a request for a name change as part of an application for a marriage license under 
240.8 	section 517.08; or
240.9 	(2) a request for a name change in conjunction with a marriage dissolution under section 
240.10 	518.27; or
240.11 	(3) a request for a name change filed under section 259.14.

240.12 	Sec. 3. [259.14] POSTDISSOLUTION NAME CHANGE.
240.13 	(a) A person who has resided in this state for at least six months and obtained the person's 
240.14 	most recent final marriage dissolution from a district court in this state may apply to the 
240.15 	district court in the county where the person resides to change the person's name to the legal 
240.16 	name on the person's birth certificate. A person applying for a name change must submit a 
240.17 	certified copy of the certificate of dissolution issued pursuant to section 518.148 and a 
240.18 	certified copy of the person's birth certificate.
240.19 	(b) A court shall not require a person applying for a name change to pay filing fees for 
240.20 	an application submitted pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding section 259.10, a court 
240.21 	shall not require the person applying for a name change to provide proof of the person's 
240.22 	identity by two witnesses unless the proof of identity is necessary to determine whether the 
240.23 	person has an intent to defraud or mislead the court.
240.24 	(c) Upon meeting the requirements of this section, the court shall grant the application 
240.25 	for a name change unless the court finds that (1) the person has an intent to defraud or 
240.26 	mislead the court; or (2) section 259.13 prohibits granting the name change. The court shall 
240.27 	notify the person applying for a name change that using a different surname without 
240.28 	complying with section 259.13, if applicable, is a gross misdemeanor.

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.

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.

By February 1, 1998, all probation agencies shall adopt written policies for classifying adult offenders.

The pardon extraordinary, when granted, has the effect of setting aside and nullifying the conviction and of purging the person of it, and the person shall never after that be required to disclose the conviction at any time or place other than in a judicial proceeding or as part of the licensing process for peace officers. 

The application for a pardon extraordinary, the proceedings to review an application, and the notice requirements are governed by the statutes and the rules of the board in respect to other proceedings before the board. The application shall contain any further information that the board may require. 

Subd. 3.Pardon extraordinary; filing; copies sent. 
Upon granting a pardon extraordinary the Board of Pardons shall file a copy of it with the district court of the county in which the conviction occurred, and the court shall order the conviction set aside and include a copy of the pardon in the court file. The court shall send a copy of its order and the pardon to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. 

Subd. 4.Grandfather provision. 
Any person granted a pardon extraordinary by the Board of Pardons prior to April 12, 1974 may apply to the district court of the county in which the conviction occurred for an order setting aside the conviction as set forth in subdivision 3. 

Subd. 5.Records. 
The term "records" shall include but is not limited to all matters, files, documents and papers incident to the arrest, indictment, information, trial, appeal, dismissal and discharge, which relate to the conviction for which the pardon extraordinary has been granted. 

638.03 WARRANT; RETURN.
The Board of Pardons may issue its warrant, under its seal, to any proper officers to carry into effect any pardon, commutation, or reprieve. As soon as may be after the execution of the warrant, the officer to whom it is directed shall make return thereof, under hand, with the doings thereon, to the governor. Such officer shall also file with the court administrator in which the offender was convicted an attested copy of the warrant and return, a brief abstract of which such court administrator shall subjoin to the record of the conviction.

The Board of Pardons shall hold meetings at least twice each year and shall hold a meeting whenever it takes formal action on an application for a pardon or commutation of sentence. All board meetings shall be open to the public as provided in chapter 13D. 

The victim of an applicant's crime has a right to submit an oral or written statement at the meeting. The statement may summarize the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the crime and give the victim's recommendation on whether the application for a pardon or commutation should be granted or denied. In addition, any law enforcement agency may submit an oral or written statement at the meeting, giving its recommendation on whether the application should be granted or denied. The board must consider the victim's and the law enforcement agency's statement when making its decision on the application.
