1.12 	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.13 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 169A.276, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
1.14 		Subdivision 1.Mandatory prison sentence. (a) The court shall sentence a person who 
1.15 	is convicted of a violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) under the 
1.16 	circumstances described in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired) to 
1.17 	imprisonment for not less than three years. In addition, the court may order the person to 
1.18 	pay a fine of not more than $14,000.
1.19 	(b) The court may stay execution of this mandatory sentence as provided in subdivision 
1.20 	2 (stay of mandatory sentence), but may not stay imposition or adjudication of the sentence 
1.21 	or impose a sentence that has a duration of less than three years.
1.22 	(c) An offender committed to the custody of the commissioner of corrections under this 
1.23 	subdivision is not eligible for release as provided in section 241.26, 244.065, 244.12, or 
1.24 	244.17, unless the offender has successfully completed a chemical dependency treatment 
1.25 	program while in prison treatment recommendations as determined by a comprehensive 
1.26 	substance use disorder assessment while incarcerated.
2.1 	(d) Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence provided in section 169A.24
2.2 	(first-degree driving while impaired), when the court commits a person to the custody of 
2.3 	the commissioner of corrections under this subdivision, it shall provide that after the person 
2.4 	has been released from prison the commissioner shall place the person on conditional release 
2.5 	for five years. The commissioner shall impose any conditions of release that the commissioner 
2.6 	deems appropriate including, but not limited to, successful completion of an intensive 
2.7 	probation program as described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive probation 
2.8 	for repeat DWI offenders). If the person fails to comply with any condition of release, the 
2.9 	commissioner may revoke the person's conditional release and order the person to serve all 
2.10 	or part of the remaining portion of the conditional release term in prison. The commissioner 
2.11 	may not dismiss the person from supervision before the conditional release term expires. 
2.12 	Except as otherwise provided in this section, conditional release is governed by provisions 
2.13 	relating to supervised release. The failure of a court to direct the commissioner of corrections 
2.14 	to place the person on conditional release, as required in this paragraph, does not affect the 
2.15 	applicability of the conditional release provisions to the person.
2.16 	(e) The commissioner shall require persons placed on supervised or conditional release 
2.17 	under this subdivision to pay as much of the costs of the supervision as possible. The 
2.18 	commissioner shall develop appropriate standards for this.

2.20 	read:

2.24 	written policy and annual training to implement language access for LEP individuals.

2.28 	classified service subject to the provisions of section 43A.01, subdivision 2, and establish 
2.29 	a law enforcement agency, as defined in section 626.84, subdivision 1, paragraph (f), known 
2.30 	as the Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit, to perform the duties necessary 
2.31 	to make statewide arrests under sections 629.30 and 629.34. The jurisdiction of the law 
2.32 	enforcement agency is limited to primarily the arrest of Department of Corrections' 
2.33 	discretionary and statutory released violators and Department of Corrections' escapees and 
3.1 	this must be its primary focus. The Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit 
3.2 	may respond to a law enforcement agency's request to exercise general law enforcement 
3.3 	duties during the course of official duties by carrying out law enforcement activities at the 
3.4 	direction of the law enforcement agency of jurisdiction. In addition, the unit may investigate 
3.5 	criminal offenses in agency-operated correctional facilities and surrounding property.

3.6 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.025, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
3.7 		Subd. 2.Limitations. The initial processing of a person arrested by the fugitive 
3.8 	apprehension unit for an offense within the agency's jurisdiction is the responsibility of the 
3.9 	fugitive apprehension unit unless otherwise directed by the law enforcement agency with 
3.10 	primary jurisdiction. A subsequent investigation is the responsibility of the law enforcement 
3.11 	agency of the jurisdiction in which a new crime is committed unless the law enforcement 
3.12 	agency authorizes the fugitive apprehension unit to assume the subsequent investigation.
3.13 	At the request of the primary jurisdiction, the fugitive apprehension unit may assist in 
3.14 	subsequent investigations or law enforcement efforts being carried out by the primary 
3.15 	jurisdiction. Persons arrested for violations that the fugitive apprehension unit determines 
3.16 	are not within the agency's jurisdiction must be referred to the appropriate local law 
3.17 	enforcement agency for further investigation or disposition.

3.18 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.025, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
3.19 		Subd. 3.Policies. The fugitive apprehension unit must develop and file all policies 
3.20 	required under state law for law enforcement agencies. The fugitive apprehension unit also 
3.21 	must develop a policy for contacting law enforcement agencies in a city or county before 
3.22 	initiating any fugitive surveillance, investigation, or apprehension within the city or county. 
3.23 	These policies must be filed with the board of peace officers standards and training by 
3.24 	November 1, 2000. Revisions of any of these policies must be filed with the board within 
3.25 	ten days of the effective date of the revision. The Department of Corrections shall train all

3.31 	investigate all of the pertinent circumstances of the person's life and the antecedents of the 
3.32 	crime or other delinquent conduct because of which the person has been committed to the 
4.1 	commissioner, and thereupon order the treatment the commissioner determines to be most 
4.2 	conducive to rehabilitation. Except as authorized in paragraph (b), persons convicted of 
4.3 	crimes shall not be detained in institutions for adjudicated delinquents, nor shall delinquent 
4.4 	children be detained in institutions for persons convicted of crimes. The court and the 
4.5 	prosecuting and police authorities and other public officials shall make available to the 
4.6 	commissioner of corrections all pertinent data in their possession in respect to the case.
4.7 	(b) Upon review of safety considerations and the treatment and programming needs of 
4.8 	a juvenile convicted of a crime, the commissioner may commit the juvenile to the facility 
4.9 	that best meets rehabilitative needs.

17.24 	of appropriations provided therefor, pay probation officers the salary and all benefits fixed 
17.25 	by the state law or applicable bargaining unit and all necessary expenses, including secretarial

17.28 	corrections shall reimburse the department of corrections for the total cost and expenses of 
17.29 	such services as incurred by the commissioner of corrections. Total annual costs for each 
17.30 	county shall be that portion of the total costs and expenses for the services of one probation 
17.31 	officer represented by the ratio which the county's population bears to the total population 
17.32 	served by one officer. For the purposes of this section, the population of any county shall

18.7 	levy additional taxes for this purpose.
18.8 	The county commissioners of any county of not more than 200,000 population shall, 
18.9 	when requested to do so by the juvenile judge, provide probation officers with suitable 
18.10 	offices, and may provide equipment, and secretarial help needed to render the required 
18.11 	services.

18.19 	for the proper supervision or return of juveniles, delinquents, and status offenders who are 
18.20 	on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped, or run away from supervision 
18.21 	and control and in so doing have endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The 
18.22 	compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible for the safe return of juveniles 
18.23 	who have run away from home and in doing so have left their state of residence. The 
18.24 	compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the Crime Control Act, United 
18.25 	States Code, title 4, section 112 (1965), has authorized and encouraged compacts for 
18.26 	cooperative efforts and mutual assistance in the prevention of crime.
18.27 	It is the purpose of this compact, through means of joint and cooperative action among 
18.28 	the compacting states to:
18.29 	(A) ensure that the adjudicated juveniles and status offenders subject to this compact 
18.30 	are provided adequate supervision and services in the receiving state as ordered by the 
18.31 	adjudicating judge or parole authority in the sending state;
18.32 	(B) ensure that the public safety interests of the citizens, including the victims of juvenile 
18.33 	offenders, in both the sending and receiving states are adequately protected;
19.1 	(C) return juveniles who have run away, absconded, or escaped from supervision or 
19.2 	control or have been accused of an offense to the state requesting their return;
19.3 	(D) make contracts for the cooperative institutionalization in public facilities in member 
19.4 	states for delinquent youth needing special services;
19.5 	(E) provide for the effective tracking and supervision of juveniles;
19.6 	(F) equitably allocate the costs, benefits, and obligations of the compact states;
19.7 	(G) establish procedures to manage the movement between states of juvenile offenders 
19.8 	released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts, juvenile departments, or any 
19.9 	other criminal or juvenile justice agency which has jurisdiction over juvenile offenders;
19.10 	(H) insure immediate notice to jurisdictions where defined juvenile offenders are 
19.11 	authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines;
19.12 	(I) establish procedures to resolve pending charges (detainers) against juvenile offenders 
19.13 	prior to transfer or release to the community under the terms of this compact;
19.14 	(J) establish a system of uniform data collection on information pertaining to juveniles 
19.15 	subject to this compact that allows access by authorized juvenile justice and criminal justice 
19.16 	officials, and regular reporting of compact activities to heads of state; executive, judicial, 
19.17 	and legislative branches; and juvenile criminal justice administrators;
19.18 	(K) monitor compliance with rules governing interstate movement of juveniles and 
19.19 	initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance;
19.20 	(L) coordinate training and education regarding the regulation of interstate movement 
19.21 	of juveniles for officials involved in such activity; and
19.22 	(M) coordinate the implementation and operation of the compact with the Interstate 
19.23 	Compact for the Placement of Children, the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender 
19.24 	Supervision, and other compacts affecting juveniles particularly in those cases where 
19.25 	concurrent or overlapping supervision issues arise.
19.26 	It is the policy of the compacting states that the activities conducted by the Interstate 
19.27 	Commission created herein are the information of public policies and therefore are public 
19.28 	business. Furthermore, the compacting states shall cooperate and observe their individual 
19.29 	and collective duties and responsibilities for the prompt return and acceptance of juveniles 
19.30 	subject to the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact shall be reasonably 
19.31 	and liberally construed to accomplish the purpose and policies of the compact.

23.28 	documents considered in connection with any action shall be identified in such minutes.
23.29 	K. The Interstate Commission shall collect standardized data concerning the interstate 
23.30 	movement of juveniles as directed through its rules which shall specify the data to be 
23.31 	collected, the means of collection, and data exchange and reporting requirements. Such

27.32 	Interstate Commission deems appropriate consistent with due process requirements under 
27.33 	the United States Constitution as now or hereafter interpreted by the United States Supreme 
28.1 	Court. All rules and amendments shall become binding as of the date specified, as published 
28.2 	with the final version of the rule as approved by the commission.

32.17 	ARTICLE XI
32.18 	WITHDRAWAL, DEFAULT, TERMINATION, 
32.19 	AND JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT
32.20 	Section A. Withdrawal.
32.21 	1. Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each 
32.22 	and every compacting state; provided that a compacting state may withdraw from the 
32.23 	compact specifically repealing the statute, which enacted the compact into law.
32.24 	2. The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repeal.
32.25 	3. The withdrawing state shall immediately notify the chair of the Interstate Commission 
32.26 	in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the withdrawing 
32.27 	state. The Interstate Commission shall notify the other compacting states of the withdrawing 
32.28 	state's intent to withdraw within 60 days of its receipt thereof.
32.29 	4. The withdrawing state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities 
32.30 	incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations, the performance 
32.31 	of which extend beyond the effective date of withdrawal.

32.33 	withdrawing state reenacting the compact or upon such later date as determined by the 
32.34 	Interstate Commission.
33.1 	Section B. Technical assistance, fines, suspension, termination, and default.
33.2 	1. If the Interstate Commission determines that any compacting state has at any time 
33.3 	defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact, 
33.4 	or the bylaws or duly promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission may impose any or all 
33.5 	of the following penalties:
33.6 	a. remedial training and technical assistance as directed by the Interstate Commission;
33.7 	b. alternative dispute resolution;
33.8 	c. fines, fees, and costs in such amounts as are deemed to be reasonable as fixed by the 
33.9 	Interstate Commission;
33.10 	d. suspension or termination of membership in the compact, which shall be imposed 
33.11 	only after all other reasonable means of securing compliance under the bylaws and rules 
33.12 	have been exhausted and the Interstate Commission has therefore determined that the 
33.13 	offending state is in default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by the Interstate 
33.14 	Commission to the governor, the chief justice, or the chief judicial officer of the state; the 
33.15 	majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature; and the state council. The 
33.16 	grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting state to perform 
33.17 	such obligations or responsibilities imposed upon it by this compact, the bylaws, or duly 
33.18 	promulgated rules and any other grounds designated in commission bylaws and rules. The 
33.19 	Interstate Commission shall immediately notify the defaulting state in writing of the penalty 
33.20 	imposed by the Interstate Commission and of the default pending a cure of the default. The 
33.21 	commission shall stipulate the conditions and the time period within which the defaulting 
33.22 	state must cure its default. If the defaulting state fails to cure the default within the time 
33.23 	period specified by the commission, the defaulting state shall be terminated from the compact 
33.24 	upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the compacting states and all rights, privileges, 
33.25 	and benefits conferred by this compact shall be terminated from the effective date of 
33.26 	termination.
33.27 	2. Within 60 days of the effective date of termination of a defaulting state, the commission 
33.28 	shall notify the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the majority and minority 
33.29 	leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council of such termination.
33.30 	3. The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities 
33.31 	incurred through the effective date of termination including any obligations, the performance 
33.32 	of which extends beyond the effective date of termination.
34.1 	4. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to the defaulting state 
34.2 	unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and 
34.3 	the defaulting state.
34.4 	5. Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state requires both a 
34.5 	reenactment of the compact by the defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate 
34.6 	Commission pursuant to the rules.
34.7 	Section C. Judicial enforcement.
34.8 	The Interstate Commission may, by majority vote of the members, initiate legal action 
34.9 	in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or, at the discretion of the 
34.10 	Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the Interstate Commission has its offices, 
34.11 	to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, its duly promulgated rules and 
34.12 	bylaws, against any compacting state in default. In the event judicial enforcement is 
34.13 	necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including 
34.14 	reasonable attorney fees.
34.15 	Section D. Dissolution of compact.
34.16 	1. The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the 
34.17 	compacting state, which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state.
34.18 	2. Upon the dissolution of this compact, the compact becomes null and void and shall 
34.19 	be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission 
34.20 	shall be concluded and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.
34.21 	ARTICLE XII
34.22 	SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION
34.23 	1. The provisions of this compact shall be severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, 
34.24 	or provision is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this compact shall be 
34.25 	enforceable.
34.26 	2. The provisions of this compact shall be liberally constructed to effectuate its purposes.

34.31 	is not inconsistent with this compact.

35.2 	conflicting with this compact are superseded to the extent of the conflict.

35.7 	binding in accordance with their terms.

35.9 	Commission actions, and upon a majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate 
35.10 	Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning of interpretation.
35.11 	4. In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the constitutional limits imposed 
35.12 	on the legislature of any compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction 
35.13 	sought to be conferred by such provision upon the Interstate Commission shall be ineffective 
35.14 	and such obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction shall remain in the compacting state 
35.15 	and shall be exercised by the agency thereof to which such obligations, duties, powers, or 
35.16 	jurisdiction are delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes effective.
