77.15 	sentence, the court shall also resentence the petitioner for any other offense if the sentence 
77.16 	was announced by a district court of the same county, the sentence was either ordered to 
77.17 	be served consecutively to the vacated conviction or the criminal history calculation for 
77.18 	that sentence included the vacated sentence, and the changes made pursuant to paragraph 
77.19 	(c) would have resulted in a different criminal history score being used at the time of 
77.20 	sentencing.

77.22 	petition.

77.25 	statement consistent with Minnesota Statutes, section 611A.038. The prosecutor shall make 
77.26 	a good faith and reasonable effort to notify any person determined to be a victim of the 
77.27 	hearing and the right to submit or make a statement. A sentence imposed under this 
77.28 	subdivision shall not increase the petitioner's total period of confinement or, if the petitioner 
77.29 	was serving a stayed sentence, increase the period of supervision. The court may increase 
77.30 	the period of confinement for a sentence that was ordered to be served consecutively to the 
77.31 	vacated conviction based on a change in the appropriate criminal history score provided the 
77.32 	court does not increase the petitioner's total period of confinement. A person resentenced 
77.33 	under this paragraph is entitled to credit for time served in connection with the vacated 
77.34 	offense.
78.1 	(h) Relief granted under this section shall not be treated as an exoneration for purposes 
78.2 	of the Incarceration and Exoneration Remedies Act.

129.15 	occurred;
129.16 	(5) no claim was filed with the board within three years of victim's injury or death; except 
129.17 	that (i) if the claimant was unable to file a claim within that period, then the claim can be 
129.18 	made within three years of the time when a claim could have been filed; and (ii) if the 
129.19 	victim's injury or death was not reasonably discoverable within three years of the injury or 
129.20 	death, then the claim can be made within three years of the time when the injury or death 
129.21 	is reasonably discoverable. The following circumstances do not render a claimant unable

130.5 	recouped from a collateral source or collateral sources. Where compensation is readily 
130.6 	available to a claimant from a collateral source, the claimant must take reasonable steps to 
130.7 	recoup from the collateral source before claiming reparations reimbursement;
130.8 	(2) reparations reimbursement shall be denied or reduced to the extent, if any, that the 
130.9 	board deems reasonable because of the contributory misconduct of the claimant or of a 
130.10 	victim through whom the claimant claims. Contributory misconduct does not include current 
130.11 	or past affiliation with any particular group; and
130.12 	(3) reparations reimbursement paid to all claimants suffering economic loss as the result 
130.13 	of the injury or death of any one victim shall not exceed $50,000.

142.2 	initially pronouncing a sentence or when revoking an offender's probation, the court, when 
142.3 	consistent with public safety, may instead place the offender on probation or continue the 
142.4 	offender's probation and require as a condition of the probation that the offender successfully 
142.5 	complete an appropriate supervised alternative living program having a mental health 
142.6 	treatment component. This section applies only to offenders who would have a remaining 
142.7 	term of imprisonment after adjusting for credit for prior imprisonment, if any, of more than

142.17 	the sentence of that individual at any time after the initial sentencing provided the prosecutor 
142.18 	does not seek to increase the period of confinement or, if the individual is serving a stayed 
142.19 	sentence, increase the period of supervision.

142.25 	(c) The commissioner of corrections, a supervising agent, or an offender may request 
142.26 	that a prosecutor review an individual case. A prosecutor is not required to respond to a 
142.27 	request. Inaction by a prosecutor shall not be considered by any court as grounds for an 
142.28 	offender, a supervising agent, or the commissioner of corrections to petition for a sentence 
142.29 	adjustment under this section or for a court to adjust a sentence without a petition.
142.30 		Subd. 4.Petition; contents; fee. (a) A prosecutor's petition for sentence adjustment

143.10 	(ii) either the names of any victims or that there were no identifiable victims;
143.11 	(iii) whether there is a current order for protection, restraining order, or other no contact

143.14 	the victims;
143.15 	(iv) the court file number; and
143.16 	(v) the date of conviction;
143.17 	(6) what steps the individual has taken since the time of the offense toward personal

143.19 	other personal history that demonstrates rehabilitation;
143.20 	(7) the individual's criminal conviction record indicating all convictions for 
143.21 	misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, or felonies in this state, and for all comparable

143.29 	offense or for any other offenses in this state or any other state or federal court, for pardon, 
143.30 	return of arrest records, or expungement or sealing of a criminal record, whether granted 
143.31 	or not, and all stays of adjudication or imposition of sentence involving the petitioner.
144.1 	(b) The filing fee for a petition brought under this section shall be waived.
144.2 		Subd. 5.Service of petition. (a) The prosecutor shall serve the petition for sentence 
144.3 	adjustment on the individual on whose behalf the petition is being brought.

144.7 	order for protection, restraining order, or other no contact order.
144.8 	(c) Notice to victims of the offense under this subdivision must:
144.9 	(1) specifically inform the victim of the right to object, orally or in writing, to the 
144.10 	proposed adjustment of sentence; and
144.11 	(2) inform the victims of the right to be present and to submit an oral or written statement 
144.12 	at the hearing described in subdivision 6.
144.13 	(d) If a victim notifies the prosecutor of an objection to the proposed adjustment of 
144.14 	sentence and is not present when the court considers the sentence adjustment, the prosecutor 
144.15 	shall make these objections known to the court.
144.16 		Subd. 6.Hearing. (a) The court shall hold a hearing on the petition no sooner than 60 
144.17 	days after service of the petition. The hearing shall be scheduled so that the parties have 
144.18 	adequate time to prepare and present arguments regarding the issue of sentence adjustment. 
144.19 	The parties may submit written arguments to the court prior to the date of the hearing and 
144.20 	may make oral arguments before the court at the hearing. The individual on whose behalf 
144.21 	the petition has been brought must be present at the hearing, unless excused under Minnesota 
144.22 	Rules of Criminal Procedure, rule 26.03, subdivision 1, clause (3).
144.23 	(b) A victim of the offense for which sentence adjustment is sought has a right to submit 
144.24 	an oral or written statement to the court at the time of the hearing describing the harm 
144.25 	suffered by the victim as a result of the crime and the victim's recommendation on whether 
144.26 	adjustment should be granted or denied. The judge shall consider the victim's statement 
144.27 	when making a decision.
144.28 	(c) Representatives of the Department of Corrections, supervising agents, community 
144.29 	treatment providers, and any other individual with relevant information may submit an oral 
144.30 	or written statement to the court at the time of the hearing.
144.31 		Subd. 7.Nature of remedy; standard. (a) The court shall determine whether there are 
144.32 	substantial and compelling reasons to adjust the individual's sentence. In making this 
144.33 	determination, the court shall consider what impact, if any, a sentence adjustment would 
145.1 	have on public safety, including whether an adjustment would promote the rehabilitation 
145.2 	of the individual, properly reflect the severity of the underlying offense, or reduce sentencing 
145.3 	disparities. In making this determination, the court may consider factors relating to both the 
145.4 	offender and the offense, including but not limited to:
145.5 	(1) the presentence investigation report used at sentencing, if available;
145.6 	(2) the individual's performance on probation or supervision;
145.7 	(3) the individual's disciplinary record during any period of incarceration;
145.8 	(4) records of any rehabilitation efforts made by the individual since the date of offense 
145.9 	and any plan to continue those efforts in the community;
145.10 	(5) evidence that remorse, age, diminished physical condition, or any other factor has 
145.11 	significantly reduced the likelihood that the individual will commit a future offense;
145.12 	(6) the amount of time the individual has served in custody or under supervision; and
145.13 	(7) significant changes in law or sentencing practice since the date of offense.
145.14 	(b) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if the court determines by a preponderance 
145.15 	of the evidence that there are substantial and compelling reasons to adjust the individual's 
145.16 	sentence, the court may modify the sentence in any way provided the adjustment does not:
145.17 	(1) increase the period of confinement or, if the individual is serving a stayed sentence, 
145.18 	increase the period of supervision;
145.19 	(2) reduce or eliminate the amount of court-ordered restitution; or
145.20 	(3) reduce or eliminate a term of conditional release required by law when a court 
145.21 	commits an offender to the custody of the commissioner of corrections.
145.22 	The court may stay imposition or execution of sentence pursuant to section 609.135.
145.23 	(c) A sentence adjustment is not a valid basis to vacate the judgment of conviction, enter 
145.24 	a judgment of conviction for a different offense, or impose sentence for any other offense.
145.25 	(d) The court shall state in writing or on the record the reasons for its decision on the 
145.26 	petition. If the court grants a sentence adjustment, the court shall provide the information 
145.27 	in section 244.09, subdivision 15, to the Sentencing Guidelines Commission.
145.28 		Subd. 8.Appeals. An order issued under this section shall not be considered a final 
145.29 	judgment, but shall be treated as an order imposing or staying a sentence.

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

146.1 	Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.135, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:

146.3 	condition of probation and if the defendant fails to pay the restitution in accordance with 
146.4 	the payment schedule or structure established by the court or the probation officer, the 
146.5 	prosecutor or the defendant's probation officer may, on the prosecutor's or the officer's own 
146.6 	motion or at the request of the victim, ask the court to hold a hearing to determine whether 
146.7 	or not the conditions of probation should be changed or probation should be revoked. The 
146.8 	defendant's probation officer shall ask for the hearing if the restitution ordered has not been 
146.9 	paid prior to 60 days before the term of probation expires. The court shall schedule and hold 
146.10 	this hearing and take appropriate action, including action under subdivision 2, paragraph

146.19 	the defendant's probation officer may ask the court to hold a hearing to determine whether 
146.20 	the conditions of probation should be changed or probation should be revoked. The court

147.2 	than four years or the maximum period for which the sentence of imprisonment might have

149.27 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 152.18, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
149.28 		Subdivision 1.Deferring prosecution for certain first time drug offenders. (a) A 
149.29 	court may defer prosecution as provided in paragraph (c) for any person found guilty, after 
150.1 	trial or upon a plea of guilty, of a violation of section 152.023, subdivision 2, 152.024, 
150.2 	subdivision 2, 152.025, subdivision 2, or 152.027, subdivision 2, 3, 4, or 6, paragraph (d), 
150.3 	for possession of a controlled substance, who:
150.4 	(1) has not previously participated in or completed a diversion program authorized under 
150.5 	section 401.065;
150.6 	(2) has not previously been placed on probation without a judgment of guilty and 
150.7 	thereafter been discharged from probation under this section; and
150.8 	(3) has not been convicted of a felony violation of this chapter, including a felony-level 
150.9 	attempt or conspiracy, or been convicted by the United States or another state of a similar 
150.10 	offense that would have been a felony under this chapter if committed in Minnesota, unless 
150.11 	ten years have elapsed since discharge from sentence.
150.12 	(b) The court must defer prosecution as provided in paragraph (c) for any person found 
150.13 	guilty of a violation of section 152.025, subdivision 2, who:
150.14 	(1) meets the criteria listed in paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3); and
150.15 	(2) has not previously been convicted of a felony offense under any state or federal law 
150.16 	or of a gross misdemeanor under section 152.025.
150.17 	(c) In granting relief under this section, the court shall, without entering a judgment of 
150.18 	guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person 
150.19 	on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to 
150.20 	exceed the maximum sentence provided for the violation. The court may give the person 
150.21 	the opportunity to attend and participate in an appropriate program of education regarding 
150.22 	the nature and effects of alcohol and drug abuse as a stipulation of probation. Upon violation 
150.23 	of a condition of the probation, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as 
150.24 	otherwise provided. The court may, in its discretion, dismiss the proceedings against the 
150.25 	person and discharge the person from probation before the expiration of the maximum 
150.26 	period prescribed for the person's probation. If during the period of probation the person 
150.27 	does not violate any of the conditions of the probation, then upon expiration of the period 
150.28 	the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the proceedings against that person. 
150.29 	Discharge and dismissal under this subdivision shall be without court adjudication of guilt, 
150.30 	but a not public record of it shall be retained by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for 
150.31 	the purpose of use by the courts in determining the merits of subsequent proceedings against 
150.32 	the person. The not public record may also be opened only upon court order for purposes 
150.33 	of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. Upon receipt of notice that the 
150.34 	proceedings were dismissed, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall notify the arresting 
151.1 	or citing law enforcement agency and direct that agency to seal its records related to the

163.1 	that qualify for a grant of expungement relief pursuant to this subdivision or subdivision 1, 
163.2 	2, or 3. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall make an initial determination of 
163.3 	eligibility within 30 days of the end of the applicable waiting period. If a record is not 
163.4 	eligible for a grant of expungement at the time of the initial determination, the Bureau of 
163.5 	Criminal Apprehension shall make subsequent eligibility determinations annually until the 
163.6 	record is eligible for a grant of expungement.
163.7 	(b) In making the determination under paragraph (a), the Bureau of Criminal 
163.8 	Apprehension shall identify individuals who are the subject of relevant records through the 
163.9 	use of fingerprints and thumbprints where fingerprints and thumbprints are available. Where 
163.10 	fingerprints and thumbprints are not available, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall 
163.11 	identify individuals through the use of the person's name and date of birth. Records containing 
163.12 	the same name and date of birth shall be presumed to refer to the same individual unless 
163.13 	other evidence establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, that they do not refer to the 
163.14 	same individual. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is not required to review any other 
163.15 	evidence in making a determination.
163.16 	(c) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall grant expungement relief to qualifying 
163.17 	persons and seal its own records without requiring an application, petition, or motion. 
163.18 	Records shall be sealed 60 days after notice is sent to the judicial branch pursuant to

163.22 	and subject to a grant of expungement relief shall display a notation stating "expungement 
163.23 	relief granted pursuant to section 609A.015."
163.24 	(e) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform the judicial branch of all cases 
163.25 	for which expungement relief was granted pursuant to this section. Notification may be 
163.26 	through electronic means and may be made in real time or in the form of a monthly report. 
163.27 	Upon receipt of notice, the judicial branch shall seal all records relating to an arrest, 
163.28 	indictment or information, trial, verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which 
163.29 	expungement relief was granted and shall issue any order deemed necessary to achieve this 
163.30 	purpose.
163.31 	(f) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform each law enforcement agency 
163.32 	that its records may be affected by a grant of expungement relief. Notification may be 
163.33 	through electronic means. Each notified law enforcement agency that receives a request to 
163.34 	produce records shall first determine if the records were subject to a grant of expungement 
164.1 	under this section. The law enforcement agency must not disclose records relating to an 
164.2 	arrest, indictment or information, trial, verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in 
164.3 	which expungement relief was granted and must maintain the data consistent with the 
164.4 	classification in paragraph (g). This paragraph does not apply to requests from a criminal 
164.5 	justice agency as defined in section 609A.03, subdivision 7a, paragraph (f).

164.9 	(h) The prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim that an offense qualifies for automatic 
164.10 	expungement under this section in the manner provided in section 611A.03, subdivisions 
164.11 	1 and 2.
164.12 	(i) In any subsequent prosecution of a person granted expungement relief, the expunged 
164.13 	criminal record may be pleaded and has the same effect as if the relief had not been granted.
164.14 	(j) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is directed to develop, modify, or update a 
164.15 	system to provide criminal justice agencies with uniform statewide access to criminal records 
164.16 	sealed by expungement.
164.17 		Subd. 6.Immunity from civil liability. Employees of the Bureau of Criminal

164.27 		Subdivision 1.Definitions. (a) As used in this section, the following terms have the 
164.28 	meanings given.

164.30 	guilty by a court.
164.31 	(c) "Mistaken identity" means a person was incorrectly identified as being a different 
164.32 	person:
165.1 	(1) because the person's identity had been transferred, used, or possessed in violation of 
165.2 	section 609.527; or
165.3 	(2) as a result of misidentification by a witness or law enforcement, confusion on the

165.7 	to the identity of the person who committed the crime.
165.8 		Subd. 2.Determination by prosecutor; notification. If, before a conviction, a prosecutor 
165.9 	determines that a defendant was issued a citation, charged, indicted, or otherwise prosecuted 
165.10 	as the result of mistaken identity, the prosecutor must dismiss or move to dismiss the action 
165.11 	or proceeding and must state in writing or on the record that mistaken identity is the reason 
165.12 	for the dismissal.
165.13 		Subd. 3.Order of expungement. (a) The court shall issue an order of expungement 
165.14 	without the filing of a petition when an action or proceeding is dismissed based on a 
165.15 	determination that a defendant was issued a citation, charged, indicted, or otherwise 
165.16 	prosecuted as the result of mistaken identity. The order shall cite this section as the basis 
165.17 	for the order.
165.18 	(b) An order issued under this section is not subject to the considerations or standards 
165.19 	identified in section 609A.025 or 609A.03, subdivision 5, paragraph (a), (b), or (c).

165.22 	record of the proceedings shall be to restore the person, in the contemplation of the law, to 
165.23 	the status the person occupied before the arrest, indictment, or information. The person shall 
165.24 	not be guilty of perjury or otherwise of giving a false statement if the person fails to 
165.25 	acknowledge the arrest, indictment, information, or trial in response to any inquiry made 
165.26 	for any purpose.
165.27 	(b) A criminal justice agency may seek access to a record that was sealed under this

165.29 	other action or proceeding as the result of mistaken identity or for a criminal investigation, 
165.30 	prosecution, or sentencing involving any other person. The requesting agency must obtain 
165.31 	an ex parte court order after stating a good-faith basis to believe that opening the record 
165.32 	may lead to relevant information.

165.34 	this section pursuant to section 609A.03, subdivision 8.
166.1 	(d) Data on the person whose offense has been expunged contained in a letter or other 
166.2 	notification sent under this subdivision are private data on individuals as defined in section 
166.3 	13.02.

199.6 	inspection would interfere with an active investigation. If the agency denies access under 
199.7 	this paragraph, the chief law enforcement officer must provide a prompt, written denial to 
199.8 	the individual in paragraph (b) who requested the data with a short description of the 
199.9 	compelling reason access was denied and must provide notice that relief may be sought 
199.10 	from the district court pursuant to section 13.82, subdivision 7.
199.11 	(d) When an individual dies as a result of a use of force by a peace officer, an involved

199.13 	no more than what is required by law, documenting the incident no later than 14 days after 
199.14 	the incident, unless the chief law enforcement officer asserts in writing that the public 
199.15 	classification would interfere with an ongoing investigation, in which case the data remain 
199.16 	classified by section 13.82, subdivision 7.
199.17 	(b) (e) A law enforcement agency may redact or withhold access to portions of data that

199.24 	private or nonpublic under this section or to challenge a determination under paragraph (b) 
199.25 	to redact or withhold access to portions of data because the data are clearly offensive to 
199.26 	common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the 
199.27 	law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency 
199.28 	must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from 
199.29 	the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released 
199.30 	to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court 
199.31 	shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing the action or to the public outweighs 
199.32 	any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if 
199.33 	the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (b), whether the data are clearly 
199.34 	offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in 
200.1 	camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to 
200.2 	obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

238.2 	260.515 INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR JUVENILES.
238.3 	The Interstate Compact for Juveniles is enacted into law and entered into with all other 
238.4 	states legally joining in it in substantially the following form:
238.5 	ARTICLE I
238.6 	PURPOSE
238.7 	The compacting states to this Interstate Compact recognize that each state is responsible 
238.8 	for the proper supervision or return of juveniles, delinquents, and status offenders who are 
238.9 	on probation or parole and who have absconded, escaped, or run away from supervision 
238.10 	and control and in so doing have endangered their own safety and the safety of others. The 
238.11 	compacting states also recognize that each state is responsible for the safe return of juveniles 
238.12 	who have run away from home and in doing so have left their state of residence. The 
238.13 	compacting states also recognize that Congress, by enacting the Crime Control Act, United 
238.14 	States Code, title 4, section 112 (1965), has authorized and encouraged compacts for 
238.15 	cooperative efforts and mutual assistance in the prevention of crime.
238.16 	It is the purpose of this compact, through means of joint and cooperative action among 
238.17 	the compacting states to:
238.18 	(A) ensure that the adjudicated juveniles and status offenders subject to this compact 
238.19 	are provided adequate supervision and services in the receiving state as ordered by the 
238.20 	adjudicating judge or parole authority in the sending state;
238.21 	(B) ensure that the public safety interests of the citizens, including the victims of juvenile 
238.22 	offenders, in both the sending and receiving states are adequately protected;
238.23 	(C) return juveniles who have run away, absconded, or escaped from supervision or 
238.24 	control or have been accused of an offense to the state requesting their return;
238.25 	(D) make contracts for the cooperative institutionalization in public facilities in member 
238.26 	states for delinquent youth needing special services;
238.27 	(E) provide for the effective tracking and supervision of juveniles;
238.28 	(F) equitably allocate the costs, benefits, and obligations of the compact states;
238.29 	(G) establish procedures to manage the movement between states of juvenile offenders 
238.30 	released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts, juvenile departments, or any 
238.31 	other criminal or juvenile justice agency which has jurisdiction over juvenile offenders;
239.1 	(H) insure immediate notice to jurisdictions where defined juvenile offenders are 
239.2 	authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines;
239.3 	(I) establish procedures to resolve pending charges (detainers) against juvenile offenders 
239.4 	prior to transfer or release to the community under the terms of this compact;
239.5 	(J) establish a system of uniform data collection on information pertaining to juveniles 
239.6 	subject to this compact that allows access by authorized juvenile justice and criminal justice 
239.7 	officials, and regular reporting of compact activities to heads of state; executive, judicial, 
239.8 	and legislative branches; and juvenile criminal justice administrators;
239.9 	(K) monitor compliance with rules governing interstate movement of juveniles and 
239.10 	initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance;
239.11 	(L) coordinate training and education regarding the regulation of interstate movement 
239.12 	of juveniles for officials involved in such activity; and
239.13 	(M) coordinate the implementation and operation of the compact with the Interstate 
239.14 	Compact for the Placement of Children, the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender 
239.15 	Supervision, and other compacts affecting juveniles particularly in those cases where 
239.16 	concurrent or overlapping supervision issues arise.
239.17 	It is the policy of the compacting states that the activities conducted by the Interstate 
239.18 	Commission created herein are the information of public policies and therefore are public 
239.19 	business. Furthermore, the compacting states shall cooperate and observe their individual 
239.20 	and collective duties and responsibilities for the prompt return and acceptance of juveniles 
239.21 	subject to the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact shall be reasonably 
239.22 	and liberally construed to accomplish the purpose and policies of the compact.

247.15 	ARTICLE VI
247.16 	RULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
247.17 	1. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate and publish rules in order to effectively 
247.18 	and efficiently achieve the purposes of the compact.
247.19 	2. Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in this article and the bylaws 
247.20 	and rules adopted pursuant thereto. Such rulemaking shall substantially conform to the 
247.21 	principles of the "Model State Administrative Procedures Act," 1981 Act, Uniform Laws 
247.22 	Annotated, Vol. 15, page 1 (2000), or such other administrative procedures act, as the 
247.23 	Interstate Commission deems appropriate consistent with due process requirements under 
247.24 	the United States Constitution as now or hereafter interpreted by the United States Supreme 
247.25 	Court. All rules and amendments shall become binding as of the date specified, as published 
247.26 	with the final version of the rule as approved by the commission.
247.27 	3. When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission shall, at a minimum:
247.28 	a. publish the proposed rule's entire text stating the reasons for that proposed rule;
247.29 	b. allow and invite any and all persons to submit written data, facts, opinions, and 
247.30 	arguments, which information shall be added to the record, and be made publicly available;
247.31 	c. provide an opportunity for an informal hearing if petitioned by ten or more persons; 
247.32 	and

248.6 	principal office is located for judicial review of such rule. If the court finds that the Interstate 
248.7 	Commission's action is not supported by substantial evidence in the rulemaking record, the 
248.8 	court shall hold the rule unlawful and set it aside. For purposes of this subsection, evidence 
248.9 	is substantial if it would be considered substantial evidence under the Model (State) 
248.10 	Administrative Procedures Act.
248.11 	5. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states rejects a rule, those states 
248.12 	may, by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, 
248.13 	cause that such rule shall have no further force and effect in any compacting state.
248.14 	6. The existing rules governing the operation of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles

249.31 	volume of interstate movement of juveniles in each compacting state, and shall promulgate 
249.32 	a rule binding upon all compacting states which governs said assessment.
250.1 	3. The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of any kind prior to securing

252.27 	defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact, 
252.28 	or the bylaws or duly promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission may impose any or all

253.3 	d. suspension or termination of membership in the compact, which shall be imposed 
253.4 	only after all other reasonable means of securing compliance under the bylaws and rules 
253.5 	have been exhausted and the Interstate Commission has therefore determined that the 
253.6 	offending state is in default. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by the Interstate 
253.7 	Commission to the governor, the chief justice, or the chief judicial officer of the state; the 
253.8 	majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature; and the state council. The

253.20 	2. Within 60 days of the effective date of termination of a defaulting state, the commission 
253.21 	shall notify the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the majority and minority 
253.22 	leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council of such termination.

253.25 	of which extends beyond the effective date of termination.
253.26 	4. The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to the defaulting state 
253.27 	unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing between the Interstate Commission and 
253.28 	the defaulting state.

253.30 	reenactment of the compact by the defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate 
253.31 	Commission pursuant to the rules.

254.2 	to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, its duly promulgated rules and 
254.3 	bylaws, against any compacting state in default. In the event judicial enforcement is

254.5 	reasonable attorney fees.
254.6 	Section D. Dissolution of compact.
254.7 	1. The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the 
254.8 	compacting state, which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state.

254.10 	be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission 
254.11 	shall be concluded and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.

254.16 	enforceable.
254.17 	2. The provisions of this compact shall be liberally constructed to effectuate its purposes.
254.18 	ARTICLE XIII
254.19 	BINDING EFFECT OF COMPACT AND OTHER LAWS
254.20 	Section A. Other laws.

255.2 	Commission actions, and upon a majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate 
255.3 	Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning of interpretation.
255.4 	4. In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the constitutional limits imposed 
255.5 	on the legislature of any compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction 
255.6 	sought to be conferred by such provision upon the Interstate Commission shall be ineffective 
255.7 	and such obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction shall remain in the compacting state 
255.8 	and shall be exercised by the agency thereof to which such obligations, duties, powers, or 
255.9 	jurisdiction are delegated by law in effect at the time this compact becomes effective.

255.19 	of counties, or judicial district, in consultation with the state coordinator or coordinators of 
255.20 	the Minnesota Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative.
255.21 	(c) The risk-assessment instrument must:
255.22 	(1) assess the likelihood that a child released from preadjudication detention under this 
255.23 	section or section 260B.178 would endanger others or not return for a court hearing;
255.24 	(2) identify the appropriate setting for a child who might endanger others or not return 
255.25 	for a court hearing pending adjudication, with either continued detention or placement in a 
255.26 	noncustodial community-based supervision setting; and
255.27 	(3) identify the type of noncustodial community-based supervision setting necessary to 
255.28 	minimize the risk that a child who is released from custody will endanger others or not 
255.29 	return for a court hearing.
255.30 	(d) If, after using the instrument, a determination is made that the child should be released,

275.13 	or sheriff must provide the applicant with written notification and the specific factual basis 
275.14 	justifying the denial, including the source of the factual basis. The chief of police or sheriff 
275.15 	must inform the applicant of the applicant's right to submit, within 20 business days, any

275.18 	applicant within 15 business days of the result of the reconsideration. Any denial after 
275.19 	reconsideration must be in the same form and substance as the original denial and must 
275.20 	specifically address any continued deficiencies in light of the additional documentation 
275.21 	submitted by the applicant. The applicant must be informed of the right to seek de novo 
275.22 	review of the denial as provided in subdivision 8.

275.25 	elapsed since the denial was issued or the person's appeal under subdivision 8 was denied, 
275.26 	whichever is later.

276.10 	authority. If the chief law enforcement officer who issued the permit has knowledge that 
276.11 	the permit holder is ineligible to possess firearms, the chief law enforcement officer must 
276.12 	revoke the permit and give notice to the holder in writing. Failure of the holder to return 
276.13 	the permit within the five days of learning that the permit is void or revoked is a gross

276.20 	permit to the assigned probation officer, if applicable. When a probation officer is assigned 
276.21 	upon disposition of the case, the court shall inform the probation agent of the permit holder's 
276.22 	obligation to surrender the permit. Upon surrender, the probation officer must send the

276.30 	at the earliest practicable date and in any event no later than 60 days following the filing of 
276.31 	the petition for review. The court may not grant or deny any relief before the completion 
276.32 	of the hearing. The record of the hearing must be sealed. The matter must be heard de novo 
276.33 	without a jury.
276.34 	(b) The court must issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the

279.33 	(b); or (3) listed in the criminal gang investigative data system under section 299C.091.
280.1 	(b) A chief of police or sheriff shall deny an application if there exists a substantial 
280.2 	likelihood that the proposed transferee is a danger to self or the public when in possession

280.9 	applicant within 15 business days of the result of the reconsideration. Any denial after 
280.10 	reconsideration must be in the same form and substance as the original denial and must 
280.11 	specifically address any continued deficiencies in light of the additional documentation 
280.12 	submitted by the applicant. The applicant must be informed of the right to seek de novo 
280.13 	review of the denial as provided in subdivision 13.
280.14 	(c) A chief of police or sheriff need not process an application under this section if the 
280.15 	person has had an application denied pursuant to paragraph (b) and less than six months 
280.16 	have elapsed since the denial was issued or the person's appeal under subdivision 13 was 
280.17 	denied, whichever is later.

294.27 	in this provision limits the ability of the law enforcement agency of record from cooperating 
294.28 	with other law enforcement entities. When a court issues an extreme risk protection order 
294.29 	for a person who resides on Tribal territory, the chief law enforcement officer of the law

295.2 	the order.
295.3 	(d) Personal service of notice for the hearing may be made upon the respondent at any 
295.4 	time up to 48 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, provided that the respondent at the 
295.5 	hearing may request a continuance of up to 14 days if the respondent is served less than 
295.6 	five days prior to the hearing, which continuance shall be granted unless there are compelling 
295.7 	reasons not to do so. If the court grants the requested continuance, and an existing emergency 
295.8 	order under section 624.7174 will expire due to the continuance, the court shall also issue 
295.9 	a written order continuing the emergency order pending the new time set for the hearing.
295.10 	(e) If personal service cannot be made, the court may order service of the petition and 
295.11 	any order issued under this section by alternate means. The application for alternate service 
295.12 	must include the last known location of the respondent; the petitioner's most recent contacts 
295.13 	with the respondent; the last known location of the respondent's employment; the names 
295.14 	and locations of the respondent's parents, siblings, children, and other close relatives; the 
295.15 	names and locations of other persons who are likely to know the respondent's whereabouts; 
295.16 	and a description of efforts to locate those persons. The court shall consider the length of 
295.17 	time the respondent's location has been unknown, the likelihood that the respondent's location 
295.18 	will become known, the nature of the relief sought, and the nature of efforts made to locate 
295.19 	the respondent. The court shall order service by first class mail, forwarding address requested, 
295.20 	to any addresses where there is a reasonable possibility that mail or information will be 
295.21 	forwarded or communicated to the respondent. The court may also order publication, within 
295.22 	or without the state, but only if it might reasonably succeed in notifying the respondent of 
295.23 	the proceeding. Service shall be deemed complete 14 days after mailing or 14 days after 
295.24 	court-ordered publication.
295.25 	(f) When a petitioner who is not the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides, 
295.26 	the sheriff's designee, or a family or household member files a petition, the petitioner must 
295.27 	provide notice of the action to the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides. When 
295.28 	a family or household member is the petitioner, the court must provide notice of the action 
295.29 	to the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides.
295.30 		Subd. 2.Relief by court. (a) At the hearing, the petitioner must prove by clear and 
295.31 	convincing evidence that the respondent poses a significant danger to other persons or is at 
295.32 	significant risk of suicide by possessing a firearm.
295.33 	(b) In determining whether to grant the order after a hearing, the court shall consider 
295.34 	evidence of the following, whether or not the petitioner has provided evidence of the same:
296.1 	(1) a history of threats or acts of violence by the respondent directed toward another 
296.2 	person;
296.3 	(2) the history of use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force by the respondent 
296.4 	against another person;
296.5 	(3) a violation of any court order, including but not limited to orders issued under sections 
296.6 	624.7171 to 624.7178 or chapter 260C or 518B;
296.7 	(4) a prior arrest for a violent felony offense;
296.8 	(5) a conviction or prior arrest for a violent misdemeanor offense, for a stalking offense 
296.9 	under section 609.749, or for domestic assault under section 609.2242;
296.10 	(6) a conviction for an offense of cruelty to animals under chapter 343;
296.11 	(7) the unlawful and reckless use, display, or brandishing of a firearm by the respondent;
296.12 	(8) suicide attempts by the respondent or a serious mental illness; and
296.13 	(9) whether the respondent is named in an existing order in effect under sections 624.7171 
296.14 	to 624.7178 or chapter 260C or 518B, or party to a pending lawsuit, complaint, petition, or 
296.15 	other action under sections 624.7171 to 624.7178 or chapter 518B.
296.16 	(c) In determining whether to grant the order after a hearing, the court may:
296.17 	(1) subpoena peace officers who have had contact with the respondent to provide written 
296.18 	or sworn testimony regarding the officer's contacts with the respondent; and
296.19 	(2) consider any other evidence that bears on whether the respondent poses a danger to 
296.20 	others or is at risk of suicide.
296.21 	(d) If the court finds there is clear and convincing evidence to issue an extreme risk 
296.22 	protection order, the court shall issue the order prohibiting the person from possessing or 
296.23 	purchasing a firearm for the duration of the order. The court shall inform the respondent 
296.24 	that the respondent is prohibited from possessing or purchasing firearms and shall issue a 
296.25 	transfer order under section 624.7175. The court shall also give notice to the county attorney's 
296.26 	office, which may take action as it deems appropriate.
296.27 	(e) The court shall determine the length of time the order is in effect, but may not set 
296.28 	the length of time for less than six months or more than one year, subject to renewal or 
296.29 	extension under section 624.7173.
296.30 	(f) If there is no existing emergency order under section 624.7174 at the time an order 
296.31 	is granted under this section, the court shall determine by clear and convincing evidence 
297.1 	whether the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of bodily harm. If the 
297.2 	court so determines, the transfer order shall include the provisions described in section 
297.3 	624.7175, paragraph (d).
297.4 	(g) If, after a hearing, the court does not issue an order of protection, the court shall 
297.5 	vacate any emergency extreme risk protection order currently in effect.
297.6 	(h) A respondent may waive the respondent's right to contest the hearing and consent 
297.7 	to the court's imposition of an extreme risk protection order. The court shall seal the petition 
297.8 	filed under this section and section 624.7174 if a respondent who consents to imposition of 
297.9 	an extreme risk protection order requests that the petition be sealed, unless the court finds 
297.10 	that there is clear and convincing evidence that the interests of the public and public safety 
297.11 	outweigh the disadvantages to the respondent of not sealing the petition. All extreme risk 
297.12 	protection orders based on the respondent being a danger to others shall remain public. 
297.13 	Extreme risk protection orders issued for respondents who are solely at risk of suicide shall 
297.14 	not be public.

297.15 	Sec. 4. [624.7173] SUBSEQUENT EXTENSIONS AND TERMINATION.
297.16 	(a) Upon application by any party entitled to petition for an order under section 624.7172, 
297.17 	and after notice to the respondent and a hearing, the court may extend the relief granted in 
297.18 	an existing order granted after a hearing under section 624.7172. Application for an extension 
297.19 	may be made any time within the three months before the expiration of the existing order. 
297.20 	The court may extend the order if the court makes the same findings by clear and convincing 
297.21 	evidence as required for granting of an initial order under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, 
297.22 	paragraph (d). The minimum length of time of an extension is six months and the maximum 
297.23 	length of time of an extension is one year. The court shall consider the same types of evidence 
297.24 	as required for the initial order under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, paragraphs (b) and 
297.25 	(c).
297.26 	(b) Upon application by the respondent to an order issued under section 624.7172, the 
297.27 	court may terminate an order after a hearing at which the respondent shall bear the burden 
297.28 	of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent does not pose a significant 
297.29 	danger to other persons or is at significant risk of suicide by possessing a firearm. Application 
297.30 	for termination may be made one time for every six months an order is in effect. If an order 
297.31 	has been issued for a period of six months, the respondent may apply for termination one 
297.32 	time.

298.1 	Sec. 5. [624.7174] EMERGENCY ISSUANCE OF EXTREME RISK PROTECTION 
298.2 	ORDER.
298.3 	(a) In determining whether to grant an emergency extreme risk protection order, the 
298.4 	court shall consider evidence of all facts identified in section 624.7172, subdivision 2, 
298.5 	paragraphs (b) and (c).
298.6 	(b) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request an order after a hearing 
298.7 	under section 624.7172 separately from or simultaneously with the petition.
298.8 	(c) If the court finds there is probable cause that (1) the respondent poses a significant 
298.9 	danger of bodily harm to other persons or is at significant risk of suicide by possessing a 
298.10 	firearm, and (2) the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of either bodily 
298.11 	harm to others or of taking their life, the court shall issue an ex parte emergency order 
298.12 	prohibiting the respondent from possessing or purchasing a firearm for the duration of the 
298.13 	order. The order shall inform the respondent that the respondent is prohibited from possessing 
298.14 	or purchasing firearms and shall issue a transfer order under section 624.7175, paragraph 
298.15 	(d).
298.16 	(d) A finding by the court that there is a basis for issuing an emergency extreme risk 
298.17 	protection order constitutes a finding that sufficient reasons exist not to require notice under 
298.18 	applicable court rules governing applications for ex parte relief.
298.19 	(e) The emergency order shall have a fixed period of 14 days unless a hearing is set 
298.20 	under section 624.7172 on an earlier date, in which case the order shall expire upon a judge's 
298.21 	finding that no order is issued under section 624.7172.
298.22 	(f) Except as provided in paragraph (g), the respondent shall be personally served 
298.23 	immediately with a copy of the emergency order and a copy of the petition and, if a hearing 
298.24 	is requested by the petitioner under section 624.7172, notice of the date set for the hearing. 
298.25 	If the petitioner does not request a hearing under section 624.7172, an order served on a 
298.26 	respondent under this section must include a notice advising the respondent of the right to 
298.27 	request a hearing challenging the issuance of the emergency order, and must be accompanied 
298.28 	by a form that can be used by the respondent to request a hearing.
298.29 	(g) Service of the emergency order may be made by alternate service as provided under 
298.30 	section 624.7172, subdivision 1, paragraph (e), provided that the petitioner files the affidavit 
298.31 	required under that subdivision. If the petitioner does not request a hearing under section 
298.32 	624.7172, the petition mailed to the respondent's residence, if known, must be accompanied 
298.33 	by the form for requesting a hearing described in paragraph (f).

299.1 	Sec. 6. [624.7175] TRANSFER OF FIREARMS.
299.2 	(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), upon issuance of an extreme risk protection 
299.3 	order, the court shall direct the respondent to transfer any firearms the person possesses as 
299.4 	soon as reasonably practicable, but in no case later than 24 hours, to a federally licensed 
299.5 	firearms dealer or a law enforcement agency. If the respondent elects to transfer the 
299.6 	respondent's firearms to a law enforcement agency, the agency must accept the transfer. 
299.7 	The transfer may be permanent or temporary. A temporary firearm transfer only entitles 
299.8 	the receiving party to possess the firearm and does not transfer ownership or title. If the 
299.9 	respondent makes a temporary transfer to a federally licensed firearms dealer, the dealer 
299.10 	may charge the respondent a reasonable fee to store the firearms. If the temporary transfer 
299.11 	is made to a law enforcement agency, the agency may not charge the respondent any storage 
299.12 	or other associated fee. A dealer or agency may establish policies for disposal of abandoned 
299.13 	firearms, provided these policies require that the respondent be notified prior to disposal of 
299.14 	abandoned firearms. If a respondent permanently transfers the respondent's firearms to a 
299.15 	law enforcement agency, the agency must compensate the respondent at fair market value 
299.16 	and may not charge the respondent any processing or other fees.
299.17 	(b) A person directed to transfer any firearms pursuant to paragraph (a) may transfer 
299.18 	any antique firearm, as defined in United States Code, title 18, section 921, paragraph (a), 
299.19 	clause (16), as amended, or a curio or relic as defined in Code of Federal Regulations, title 
299.20 	27, section 478.11, as amended, to a relative who does not live with the respondent after 
299.21 	confirming that the relative may lawfully own or possess a firearm.
299.22 	(c) The respondent must file proof of transfer as provided in this paragraph.
299.23 	(1) A law enforcement agency or federally licensed firearms dealer accepting transfer 
299.24 	of a firearm pursuant to this section shall provide proof of transfer to the respondent. The 
299.25 	proof of transfer must specify whether the firearms were permanently or temporarily 
299.26 	transferred and must include the name of the respondent, date of transfer, and the serial 
299.27 	number, manufacturer, and model of all transferred firearms. If transfer is made to a federally 
299.28 	licensed firearms dealer, the respondent shall, within two business days after being served 
299.29 	with the order, file a copy of proof of transfer with the law enforcement agency and attest 
299.30 	that all firearms owned or possessed at the time of the order have been transferred in 
299.31 	accordance with this section and that the person currently does not possess any firearms. If 
299.32 	the respondent claims not to own or possess firearms, the respondent shall file a declaration 
299.33 	of nonpossession with the law enforcement agency attesting that, at the time of the order, 
299.34 	the respondent neither owned nor possessed any firearms, and that the respondent currently 
299.35 	neither owns nor possesses any firearms. If the transfer is made to a relative pursuant to 
300.1 	paragraph (b), the relative must sign an affidavit under oath before a notary public either 
300.2 	acknowledging that the respondent permanently transferred the respondent's antique firearms, 
300.3 	curios, or relics to the relative or agreeing to temporarily store the respondent's antique 
300.4 	firearms, curios, or relics until such time as the respondent is legally permitted to possess 
300.5 	firearms. To the extent possible, the affidavit shall indicate the serial number, make, and 
300.6 	model of all antique firearms, curios, or relics transferred by the respondent to the relative.
300.7 	(2) The court shall seal affidavits, proofs of transfer, and declarations of nonpossession 
300.8 	filed pursuant to this paragraph.
300.9 	(d) If a court issues an emergency order under section 624.7174, or makes a finding of 
300.10 	immediate and present danger under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, paragraph (f), and 
300.11 	there is probable cause to believe the respondent possesses firearms, the court shall issue a 
300.12 	search warrant to the local law enforcement agency to take possession of all firearms in the 
300.13 	respondent's possession as soon as practicable. The chief law enforcement officer, or the 
300.14 	chief's designee, shall notify the respondent of the option to voluntarily comply with the 
300.15 	order by surrendering the respondent's firearms to law enforcement prior to execution of 
300.16 	the search warrant. Only if the respondent refuses to voluntarily comply with the order to 
300.17 	surrender the respondent's firearms shall the officer or officers tasked with serving the search 
300.18 	warrant execute the warrant. The local law enforcement agency shall, upon written notice 
300.19 	from the respondent, transfer the firearms to a federally licensed firearms dealer. Before a 
300.20 	local law enforcement agency transfers a firearm under this paragraph, the agency shall 
300.21 	require the federally licensed firearms dealer receiving the firearm to submit a proof of 
300.22 	transfer that complies with the requirements for proofs of transfer established in paragraph 
300.23 	(c). The agency shall file all proofs of transfer received by the court within two business 
300.24 	days of the transfer. A federally licensed firearms dealer who accepts a firearm transfer 
300.25 	pursuant to this paragraph shall comply with paragraphs (a) and (c) as if accepting transfer 
300.26 	directly from the respondent. A law enforcement agency may establish policies for disposal 
300.27 	of abandoned firearms, provided these policies require that the respondent be notified prior 
300.28 	to disposal of abandoned firearms.

300.29 	Sec. 7. [624.7176] RETURN OF FIREARMS.
300.30 		Subdivision 1.Law enforcement. A local law enforcement agency that accepted 
300.31 	temporary transfer of firearms under section 624.7175 shall return the firearms to the 
300.32 	respondent after the expiration of the order, provided the respondent is not otherwise 
300.33 	prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law.
301.1 		Subd. 2.Firearms dealer. A federally licensed firearms dealer that accepted temporary 
301.2 	transfer of firearms under section 624.7175 shall return the transferred firearms to the 
301.3 	respondent upon request after the expiration of the order, provided the respondent is not 
301.4 	otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. A federally licensed 
301.5 	firearms dealer returning firearms shall comply with state and federal law as though 
301.6 	transferring a firearm from the dealer's own inventory.

301.7 	Sec. 8. [624.7177] OFFENSES.
301.8 		Subdivision 1.False information or harassment. A person who petitions for an extreme 
301.9 	risk protection order under section 624.7172 or 624.7174, knowing any information in the 
301.10 	petition to be materially false or with the intent to harass, abuse, or threaten, is guilty of a 
301.11 	gross misdemeanor.
301.12 		Subd. 2.Violation of order. A person who possesses a firearm and knows or should 
301.13 	have known that the person is prohibited from doing so by an extreme risk protection order 
301.14 	under section 624.7172 or 624.7174, or by an order of protection granted by a judge or 
301.15 	referee pursuant to a substantially similar law of another state, is guilty of a misdemeanor 
301.16 	and shall be prohibited from possessing firearms for a period of five years. Each extreme 
301.17 	risk protection order granted under this chapter must contain a conspicuous notice to the 
301.18 	respondent regarding the penalty for violation of the order.

301.19 	Sec. 9. [624.7178] LIABILITY PROTECTION.
301.20 		Subdivision 1.Liability protection for petition. A chief law enforcement officer, the 
301.21 	chief law enforcement officer's designee, or a city or county attorney who, in good faith,

301.23 	protection order shall be immune from criminal or civil liability.
301.24 		Subd. 2.Liability protection for storage of firearms. A law enforcement agency shall 
301.25 	be immune from civil or criminal liability for any damage or deterioration of firearms, 
301.26 	ammunition, or weapons stored or transported pursuant to section 624.7175. This subdivision 
301.27 	shall not apply if the damage or deterioration occurred as a result of recklessness, gross 
301.28 	negligence, or intentional misconduct by the law enforcement agency.
301.29 		Subd. 3.Liability protection for harm following service of an order or execution of 
301.30 	a search warrant. A peace officer, law enforcement agency, and the state or a political 
301.31 	subdivision by which a peace officer is employed has immunity from any liability, civil or 
301.32 	criminal, for harm caused by a person who is the subject of an extreme risk protection order, 
301.33 	a search warrant issued pursuant to section 624.7175, paragraph (d), or both, after service 
302.1 	of the order or execution of the warrant, whichever comes first, if the peace officer acts in 
302.2 	good faith in serving the order or executing the warrant.
302.3 		Subd. 4.Liability protection for mental health professionals. A mental health 
302.4 	professional who provides notice to the sheriff under section 626.7171, subdivision 5, is 
302.5 	immune from monetary liability and no cause of action, or disciplinary action by the person's 
302.6 	licensing board may arise against the mental health professional for disclosure of confidences 
302.7 	to the sheriff, for failure to disclose confidences to the sheriff, or for erroneous disclosure 
302.8 	of confidences to the sheriff in a good faith effort to warn against or take precautions against 
302.9 	a client's violent behavior or threat of suicide.

340.10 		Subdivision 1.Conditional release. (a) The commissioner of corrections may parole 
340.11 	any person sentenced to confinement in any state correctional facility for adults under the

340.28 	of the new rule or policy or change.
340.29 	(b) Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the legal custody and 
340.30 	under the control of the commissioner, subject at any time to be returned to a facility of the 
340.31 	Department of Corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment of convicted 
340.32 	persons and the parole rescinded by the commissioner.
341.1 	(c) The written order of the commissioner of corrections, is sufficient authority for any 
341.2 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
341.3 	and place in actual custody any person on parole or supervised release. In addition, when

341.5 	probation agent or state correctional investigator may, without order of warrant, take and 
341.6 	detain a parolee or person on supervised release or work release and bring the person to the 
341.7 	commissioner for action.

341.18 	conditions of pretrial release.
341.19 	(f) Persons conditionally released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
341.20 	commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be placed within or outside 
341.21 	the boundaries of the state at the discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, 
341.22 	and the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced according to their conduct.
341.23 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, in considering applications for 
341.24 	conditional release or discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral argument 
341.25 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
341.26 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
341.27 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise, 
341.28 	as to the previous history, physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate and, to 
341.29 	that end, has the authority to require the attendance of the chief executive officer of any 
341.30 	state adult correctional facility and the production of the records of these facilities, and to 
341.31 	compel the attendance of witnesses. The commissioner is authorized to administer oaths to 
341.32 	witnesses for these purposes.
341.33 	(h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents may 
341.34 	require a person who is under the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
342.1 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
342.2 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
342.3 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
342.4 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
342.5 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
342.6 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
342.7 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
342.8 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
342.9 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
342.10 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
342.11 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
342.12 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
342.13 	period.
342.14 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
342.15 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
342.16 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
342.17 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
342.18 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
342.19 	under the circumstances.
342.20 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
342.21 	(i) Prior to (h) Before revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or 
342.22 	probation based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the 
342.23 	public and the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole 
342.24 	or probation agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation 
342.25 	including, but not limited to, inpatient substance use disorder treatment. If a probation or 
342.26 	parole agent determines that community options are appropriate and available in the state, 
342.27 	the agent shall must seek to restructure the offender's terms of release to incorporate those 
342.28 	options. If an offender on probation stipulates in writing to restructure the terms of release, 
342.29 	a probation agent must forward a report to the district court containing:
342.30 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
342.31 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
342.32 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
342.33 	the restructuring of probation.
343.1 	(i) The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by 
343.2 	a judge. The order of the court shall be is proof of such confirmation and amend amends
343.3 	the terms of the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135.
343.4 	(j) If a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation is revoked, the 
343.5 	offender's agent must first attempt to place the offender in a local jail.
343.6 	(k) For purposes of this paragraph, paragraphs (h) to (k):
343.7 	(1) "nonviolent controlled substance offender" is means a person who meets the criteria 
343.8 	described under section 244.0513, subdivision 2, clauses (1), (2), and (5),; and
343.9 	(2) "technical violation" means any violation of a court order of probation or a condition 
343.10 	of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that is alleged in a formal 
343.11 	complaint, citation, or petition.

343.12 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.05, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
343.13 		Subd. 3.Sanctions for violation Revoking supervised release; alternative 
343.14 	interventions. (a) If an inmate a supervised individual violates the conditions of the inmate's
343.15 	supervised release imposed on that individual by the commissioner, the commissioner may:
343.16 	(1) continue the inmate's individual's supervised release term, with or without:
343.17 	(i) modifying or enlarging the conditions imposed on the inmate individual; or
343.18 	(ii) transferring the individual's case to a specialized caseload; or
343.19 	(2) revoke the inmate's supervised individual's supervised release and reimprison the

344.6 	(1) the individual does not present a risk to the public; and
344.7 	(2) the individual is amenable to continued supervision in the community.
344.8 	(c) If alternative interventions are appropriate and available, the commissioner must 
344.9 	restructure the supervised individual's terms of release to incorporate the alternative 
344.10 	interventions.
344.11 	(d) The period of time for which a supervised release may be revoked may not exceed 
344.12 	the period of time remaining in the inmate's supervised individual's sentence, except that
344.13 	but if a sex offender is sentenced and conditionally released under Minnesota Statutes 2004, 
344.14 	section 609.108, subdivision 5, the period of time for which conditional release may be 
344.15 	revoked may not exceed the balance of the conditional release term.

379.1 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2023, and applies to all 
379.2 	four-year comprehensive plans submitted on or after that date.

379.3 	Sec. 24. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.10, is amended to read:
379.4 	401.10 FUNDING COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AID SUPERVISION.
379.5 		Subdivision 1.Aid calculations Community supervision funding formula. To 
379.6 	determine the community corrections aid amount to be paid to each participating county, 
379.7 	the commissioner of corrections must apply the following formula:
379.8 	(1) For each of the 87 counties in the state, a percent score must be calculated for each 
379.9 	of the following five factors:
379.10 	(i) percent of the total state population aged ten to 24 residing within the county according 
379.11 	to the most recent federal census, and, in the intervening years between the taking of the 
379.12 	federal census, according to the most recent estimate of the state demographer;
379.13 	(ii) percent of the statewide total number of felony case filings occurring within the 
379.14 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
379.15 	(iii) percent of the statewide total number of juvenile case filings occurring within the 
379.16 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
379.17 	(iv) percent of the statewide total number of gross misdemeanor case filings occurring 
379.18 	within the county, as determined by the state court administrator; and
379.19 	(v) percent of the total statewide number of convicted felony offenders who did not 
379.20 	receive an executed prison sentence, as monitored and reported by the Sentencing Guidelines 
379.21 	Commission.
379.22 	The percents in items (ii) to (v) must be calculated by combining the most recent 
379.23 	three-year period of available data. The percents in items (i) to (v) each must sum to 100 
379.24 	percent across the 87 counties.
379.25 	(2) For each of the 87 counties, the county's percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), must 
379.26 	be weighted, summed, and divided by the sum of the weights to yield an average percent 
379.27 	for each county, referred to as the county's "composite need percent." When performing 
379.28 	this calculation, the weight for each of the percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), is 1.0. The 
379.29 	composite need percent must sum to 100 percent across the 87 counties.
379.30 	(3) For each of the 87 counties, the county's "adjusted net tax capacity percent" is the 
379.31 	county's adjusted net tax capacity amount, defined in the same manner as it is defined for 
379.32 	cities in section 477A.011, subdivision 20, divided by the statewide total adjusted net tax 
380.1 	capacity amount. The adjusted net tax capacity percent must sum to 100 percent across the 
380.2 	87 counties.
380.3 	(4) For each of the 87 counties, the county's composite need percent must be divided by 
380.4 	the county's adjusted net tax capacity percent to produce a ratio that, when multiplied by 
380.5 	the county's composite need percent, results in the county's "tax base adjusted need percent."
380.6 	(5) For each of the 87 counties, the county's tax base adjusted need percent must be 
380.7 	added to twice the composite need percent, and the sum must be divided by 3, to yield the 
380.8 	county's "weighted need percent."
380.9 	(6) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be added to the weighted 
380.10 	need percent of each other participating county to yield the "total weighted need percent 
380.11 	for participating counties."
380.12 	(7) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be divided by the total 
380.13 	weighted need percent for participating counties to yield the county's "share percent." The 
380.14 	share percents for participating counties must sum to 100 percent.
380.15 	(8) Each participating county's "base funding amount" is the aid amount that the county 
380.16 	received under this section for fiscal year 1995 plus the amount received in caseload or 
380.17 	workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision grants in fiscal 
380.18 	year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections. In fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, 
380.19 	no county's aid amount under this section may be less than its base funding amount, provided 
380.20 	that the total amount appropriated for this purpose is at least as much as the aggregate base 
380.21 	funding amount defined in clause (9).
380.22 	(9) The "aggregate base funding amount" is equal to the sum of the base funding amounts 
380.23 	for all participating counties. If a county that participated under this section chooses not to 
380.24 	participate in any given year, then the aggregate base funding amount must be reduced by 
380.25 	that county's base funding amount. If a county that did not participate under this section in 
380.26 	fiscal year 1995 chooses to participate on or after July 1, 2015, then the aggregate base 
380.27 	funding amount must be increased by the amount of aid that the county would have received 
380.28 	had it participated in fiscal year 1995 plus the estimated amount it would have received in 
380.29 	caseload or workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision 
380.30 	grants in fiscal year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections, and the amount 
380.31 	of increase shall be that county's base funding amount.
380.32 	(10) In any given year, the total amount appropriated for this purpose first must be 
380.33 	allocated to participating counties in accordance with each county's base funding amount. 
380.34 	Then, any remaining amount in excess of the aggregate base funding amount must be 
381.1 	allocated to participating counties in proportion to each county's share percent, and is referred 
381.2 	to as the county's "formula amount."
381.3 	Each participating county's "community corrections aid amount" equals the sum of (i) 
381.4 	the county's base funding amount, and (ii) the county's formula amount.
381.5 	(11) However, if in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section 
381.6 	is less than the aggregate base funding amount, then each participating county's community 
381.7 	corrections aid amount is the product of (i) the county's base funding amount multiplied by 
381.8 	(ii) the ratio of the total amount appropriated to the aggregate base funding amount.
381.9 	For each participating county, the county's community corrections aid amount calculated 
381.10 	in this subdivision is the total amount of subsidy to which the county is entitled under 
381.11 	sections 401.01 to 401.16.
381.12 	(a) Beginning July 1, 2023, the community supervision subsidy paid to each county, the 
381.13 	commissioner for supervision of non-CCA jurisdictions served by the Department of 
381.14 	Corrections, and each applicable Tribal Nation under paragraph (e) equals the sum of:
381.15 	(1) a base funding amount equal to $150,000; and
381.16 	(2) a community supervision formula equal to the sum of:
381.17 	(i) for each individual with a felony sentence, a felony per diem rate of $5.62 multiplied 
381.18 	by the sum of the county's or Tribal Nation's adult felony population, adult supervised 
381.19 	release and parole populations, and juvenile supervised release and parole populations as 
381.20 	reported in the most recent probation survey published by the commissioner, multiplied by 
381.21 	365; and
381.22 	(ii) for each individual sentenced for a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor or under 
381.23 	juvenile probation, the felony per diem rate of $5.62 multiplied by 0.5 and then multiplied 
381.24 	by the sum of the county's or Tribal Nation's gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and juvenile

392.1 	Sec. 32. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.14, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
392.2 		Subdivision 1.Grounds. (a) When it appears that the defendant has violated any of the 
392.3 	conditions of probation or intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of misconduct 
392.4 	which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, the court may without notice revoke 
392.5 	the stay and direct that the defendant be taken into immediate custody. Revocation shall 
392.6 	only be used as a last resort when rehabilitation has failed.
392.7 	(b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the conditions of probation during 
392.8 	the term of the stay, but the term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation 
392.9 	officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate probation revocation proceedings 
392.10 	under the Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time within six months after the expiration 
392.11 	of the stay. The court also may initiate proceedings under these circumstances on its own 
392.12 	motion. If proceedings are initiated within this six-month period, the court may conduct a 
392.13 	revocation hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any time during or 
392.14 	after the six-month period.
392.15 	(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.135 or any law to the contrary, after

392.17 	directing either that the defendant be taken into custody or that a summons be issued in 
392.18 	accordance with paragraph (a), the proceedings to revoke the stay may be concluded and 
392.19 	the summary hearing provided by subdivision 2 may be conducted after the expiration of 
392.20 	the stay or after the six-month period set forth in paragraph (b). The proceedings to revoke 
392.21 	the stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary hearing is conducted after the

392.23 	the defendant prior to the expiration of the stay or during or after the six-month period shall 
392.24 	not preclude the court from conducting the summary hearing unless the defendant 
392.25 	demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
392.26 	advantage.

392.27 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2023, and applies to violations 
392.28 	that occur on or after that date.

392.30 	read:
392.31 		Subd. 1a.Violations where policies favor continued rehabilitation. (a) Correctional 
392.32 	treatment is better provided through a community resource than through confinement and 
392.33 	would not unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violation if probation was not revoked. 
392.34 	Policies favoring probation outweigh the need for confinement if a person has not previously 
393.1 	violated a condition of probation or intermediate sanction in an open criminal case and does 
393.2 	any of the following in violation of a condition imposed by the court:
393.3 	(1) fails to abstain from the use of controlled substances without a valid prescription, 
393.4 	unless the person is under supervision for a violation of section:
393.5 	(i) 169A.20;
393.6 	(ii) 609.2112, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clauses (2) to (6); or
393.7 	(iii) 609.2113, subdivision 1, clauses (2) to (6); 2, clauses (2) to (6); or 3, clauses (2) to

393.9 	(2) fails to abstain from the use of alcohol, unless the person is under supervision for a 
393.10 	violation of section:
393.11 	(i) 169A.20;
393.12 	(ii) 609.2112, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clauses (2) to (6); or
393.13 	(iii) 609.2113, subdivision 1, clauses (2) to (6); 2, clauses (2) to (6); or 3, clauses (2) to 
393.14 	(6);
393.15 	(3) possesses drug paraphernalia in violation of section 152.092;
393.16 	(4) fails to obtain or maintain employment;
393.17 	(5) fails to pursue a course of study or vocational training;
393.18 	(6) fails to report a change in employment, unless the person is prohibited from having 
393.19 	contact with minors and the employment would involve such contact;
393.20 	(7) violates a curfew;
393.21 	(8) fails to report contact with a law enforcement agency, unless the person was charged 
393.22 	with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony; or
393.23 	(9) commits any offense for which the penalty is a petty misdemeanor.
393.24 	(b) A violation by a person described in paragraph (a) does not warrant the imposition 
393.25 	or execution of sentence and the court may not direct that the person be taken into immediate 
393.26 	custody unless the court receives a written report, signed under penalty of perjury pursuant 
393.27 	to section 358.116, showing probable cause to believe the person violated probation and 
393.28 	establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the continued presence of the person 
393.29 	in the community would present a risk to public safety. If the court does not direct that the 
393.30 	person be taken into custody, the court may request a supplemental report from the 
393.31 	supervising agent containing:
394.1 	(1) the specific nature of the violation;
394.2 	(2) the response of the person under supervision to the violation, if any; and
394.3 	(3) the actions the supervising agent has taken or will take to address the violation.

402.15 	the commissioner may rescind the grant of supervised release without a hearing at any time 
402.16 	before the inmate's release or before constructive parole becomes effective. A grant of 
402.17 	constructive parole becomes effective once the inmate begins serving the consecutive 
402.18 	sentence.

402.22 	(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.
402.23 	(p) If the commissioner revokes supervised release or parole for an inmate serving a life 
402.24 	sentence, the revocation is not subject to the limitations under section 244.30 and the board:

402.26 	revocation decision; and
402.27 	(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.
402.28 	(q) The board may, by a majority vote, grant a person on supervised release or parole 
402.29 	for a life or indeterminate sentence a final discharge from their sentence in accordance with 
402.30 	section 243.05, subdivision 3. In no case, however, may a person subject to a mandatory

410.17 	regardless of whether the registered owner pays incurred charges or fees, transfers title, or 
410.18 	reclaims the vehicle. A refusal by the impound lot operator to allow the registered owner 
410.19 	to retrieve the vehicle contents after the owner provides valid documentation is a violation 
410.20 	of this paragraph.

412.3 		Subd. 3d.Retrieval of contents; remedy. (a) This subdivision applies to an impound 
412.4 	lot operator (1) who operates a nonpublic impound lot, or (2) with which a unit of government 
412.5 	exclusively contracts to operate an impound lot solely for public use under section 168B.09.
412.6 	(b) If an impound lot operator denies the registered owner the right to retrieve the vehicle 
412.7 	contents in violation of subdivision 3, paragraph (c), an aggrieved registered vehicle owner 
412.8 	has a cause of action against the impound lot operator as provided in this subdivision.
412.9 	(c) If the vehicle and its contents remain in the possession of the impound lot operator 
412.10 	and retrieval of the vehicle contents was denied in violation of subdivision 3, paragraph (c), 
412.11 	an aggrieved registered vehicle owner is entitled to injunctive relief to retrieve the vehicle 
412.12 	contents as well as reasonable attorney fees and costs.
412.13 	(d) If an impound lot operator sells or disposes of the vehicle contents after the registered

412.16 	and reasonable attorney fees and costs. An action brought pursuant to this paragraph must 
412.17 	be brought within 12 months of when the vehicle was impounded.

412.18 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 169A.63, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
412.19 		Subd. 8.Administrative forfeiture procedure. (a) A motor vehicle used to commit a 
412.20 	designated offense or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation is subject 
412.21 	to administrative forfeiture under this subdivision.
412.22 	(b) Within 60 days from when a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within 
412.23 	a reasonable time after seizure, the appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of 
412.24 	the vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the vehicle. Additionally, when 
412.25 	a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all 
412.26 	persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest in the vehicle must 
412.27 	be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit the vehicle. For those vehicles required to 
412.28 	be registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known to have a security interest 
412.29 	in the vehicle is required only if the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest 
412.30 	is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or prosecuting 
412.31 	authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed 
412.32 	90 days for good cause shown. Notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in 
412.33 	Department of Public Safety records is sufficient notice to the registered owner of the 
413.1 	vehicle. For motor vehicles not required to be registered under chapter 168, notice mailed 
413.2 	by certified mail to the address shown in the applicable filing or registration for the vehicle 
413.3 	is sufficient notice to a person known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest 
413.4 	in the vehicle. Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for service 
413.5 	of a summons in a civil action.
413.6 	(c) The notice must be in writing and contain:
413.7 	(1) a description of the vehicle seized;
413.8 	(2) the date of seizure; and
413.9 	(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for 
413.10 	obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the 
413.11 	appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
413.12 	Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
413.13 	"WARNING: If you were the person arrested when the property was seized, you will 
413.14 	automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do 
413.15 	not file a lawsuit and serve the prosecuting authority within 60 days. You may file your 
413.16 	lawsuit in conciliation court if the property is worth $15,000 or less; otherwise, you must 
413.17 	file in district court. You do not have to pay a filing fee for your lawsuit.
413.18 	WARNING: If you have an ownership interest in the above-described property and were 
413.19 	not the person arrested when the property was seized, you will automatically lose the 
413.20 	above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do not notify the 
413.21 	prosecuting authority of your interest in writing within 60 days."
413.22 	(d) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (b), and no time extension is granted 
413.23 	or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the vehicle to the 
413.24 	owner. An agency's return of property due to lack of proper notice does not restrict the 
413.25 	agency's authority to commence a forfeiture proceeding at a later time.
413.26 	(e) Within 60 days following service of a notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
413.27 	subdivision, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial determination of the forfeiture. The 
413.28 	demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and must be filed with the court 
413.29 	administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, together with proof of service of 
413.30 	a copy of the complaint on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the forfeiture. 
413.31 	The claimant may serve the complaint by certified mail or any means permitted by court 
413.32 	rules. If the value of the seized property is $15,000 or less, the claimant may file an action 
413.33 	in conciliation court for recovery of the seized vehicle. A copy of the conciliation court 
414.1 	statement of claim must may be served personally or by mail as permitted by the Rules of 
414.2 	Conciliation Court Procedure on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the 
414.3 	forfeiture within 60 days following service of the notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
414.4 	subdivision. The claimant does not have to pay the court filing fee.
414.5 	No responsive pleading is required of the prosecuting authority and no court fees may 
414.6 	be charged for the prosecuting authority's appearance in the matter. The prosecuting authority 
414.7 	may appear for the appropriate agency. Pleadings, filings, and methods of service are 
414.8 	governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure and, where applicable, by the Rules of Conciliation 
414.9 	Court Procedure.
414.10 	(f) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the claimant as plaintiff and the 
414.11 	seized vehicle as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
414.12 	alleges the vehicle was improperly seized, the claimant's interest in the vehicle seized, and 
414.13 	any affirmative defenses the claimant may have. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, 
414.14 	an action for the return of a vehicle seized under this section may not be maintained by or 
414.15 	on behalf of any person who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless 
414.16 	the person has complied with this subdivision.
414.17 	(g) If the claimant makes a timely demand for a judicial determination under this 
414.18 	subdivision, the forfeiture proceedings must be conducted as provided under subdivision 
414.19 	9.

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

414.21 	Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 259.11, is amended to read:
414.22 	259.11 ORDER; FILING COPIES.
414.23 	(a) Upon meeting the requirements of section 259.10, the court shall grant the application 
414.24 	unless: (1) it finds that there is an intent to defraud or mislead; (2) section 259.13 prohibits 
414.25 	granting the name change; or (3) in the case of the change of a minor child's name, the court 
414.26 	finds that such name change is not in the best interests of the child. The court shall set forth 
414.27 	in the order the name and age of the applicant's spouse and each child of the applicant, if 
414.28 	any, and shall state a description of the lands, if any, in which the applicant and the spouse 
414.29 	and children, if any, claim to have an interest. The court administrator shall file such order, 
414.30 	and record the same in the judgment book. If lands be described therein, a certified copy of 
414.31 	the order shall be filed for record, by the applicant, with the county recorder of each county 
414.32 	wherein any of the same are situated. Before doing so the court administrator shall present 
414.33 	the same to the county auditor who shall enter the change of name in the auditor's official 
415.1 	records and note upon the instrument, over an official signature, the words "change of name 
415.2 	recorded." Any such order shall not be filed, nor any certified copy thereof be issued, until 
415.3 	the applicant shall have paid to the county recorder and court administrator the fee required 
415.4 	by law. No application shall be denied on the basis of the marital status of the applicant.
415.5 	(b) When a person applies for a name change, the court shall determine whether the 
415.6 	person has a criminal history in this or any other state. The court may conduct a search of 
415.7 	national records through the Federal Bureau of Investigation by submitting a set of 
415.8 	fingerprints and the appropriate fee to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. If it is 
415.9 	determined that the person has a criminal history in this or any other state, the court shall, 
415.10 	within ten days after the name change application is granted, report the name change to the 
415.11 	Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The person whose name is changed shall also report the 
415.12 	change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension within ten days. The court granting the 
415.13 	name change application must explain this reporting duty in its order. Any person required 
415.14 	to report the person's name change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who fails to 
415.15 	report the name change as required under this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
415.16 	(c) Paragraph (b) does not apply to either:
415.17 	(1) a request for a name change as part of an application for a marriage license under 
415.18 	section 517.08; or

415.25 	a notice of application for a name change on the prosecuting authority that obtained the 
415.26 	conviction against the person when seeking a name change through one of the following 
415.27 	procedures:
415.28 	(1) an application for a name change under section 259.10;
415.29 	(2) a request for a name change as part of an application for a marriage license under 
415.30 	section 517.08; or
415.31 	(3) (2) a request for a name change in conjunction with a marriage dissolution under 
415.32 	section 518.27.; or
416.1 	(3) a request for a name change under section 259.14.
416.2 	If the conviction is from another state or federal jurisdiction, notice of application must also 
416.3 	be served on the attorney general.
416.4 	(b) A person who seeks a name change under section 259.10 or 518.27 shall file proof 
416.5 	of service with the court as part of the name change request. A person who seeks a name 
416.6 	change under section 517.08 shall file proof of service with the county as part of the 
416.7 	application for a marriage license.
416.8 	(c) The name change request may not be granted during the 30-day period provided for 
416.9 	in subdivision 2 or, if an objection is filed under subdivision 2, until satisfaction of the

416.11 	marriage license under section 517.08, which may be granted without the name change.

416.12 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 259.13, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
416.13 		Subd. 5.Costs. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), a person seeking a name change 
416.14 	under this section may proceed in forma pauperis only when the failure to allow the name 
416.15 	change would infringe upon a constitutional right.
416.16 	(b) A court shall not require a person with a felony conviction to pay filing fees for a 
416.17 	name change application provided that the person files the action within 180 days after the 
416.18 	marriage and submits to the court a certified copy of the marriage certificate.

416.23 	name to the legal name on the person's birth certificate. A person applying for a name change 
416.24 	must submit a certified copy of the certificate of dissolution issued pursuant to section 
416.25 	518.148 and a certified copy of the person's birth certificate. A person applying for a name 
416.26 	change who obtained a divorce in a state other than Minnesota must submit a certified copy 
416.27 	of the certificate of dissolution or a certified copy of an equivalent court order ending the 
416.28 	marriage and a certified copy of the person's birth certificate.
416.29 	(b) A court shall not require a person applying for a name change to pay filing fees for 
416.30 	an application submitted pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding section 259.10, a court 
416.31 	shall not require the person applying for a name change pursuant to this section to provide 
417.1 	proof of the person's identity by two witnesses unless the proof of identity is necessary to 
417.2 	determine whether the person has an intent to defraud or mislead the court.
417.3 	(c) Upon meeting the requirements of this section, the court shall grant the application 
417.4 	for a name change unless the court finds that (1) the person has an intent to defraud or 
417.5 	mislead the court; or (2) the name change is subject to section 259.13. The court shall notify 
417.6 	the person applying for a name change that using a different surname without complying 
417.7 	with section 259.13, if applicable, is a gross misdemeanor.

417.8 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 325F.70, is amended by adding a subdivision 
417.9 	to read:
417.10 		Subd. 3.Private enforcement. (a) In addition to the remedies otherwise provided by

417.18 	(2) "family farmer" means a person or persons operating a family farm; and

417.25 	recover damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs, or and equitable relief related to a 
417.26 	violation of subdivision 2. The attorney general may enforce this section pursuant to

422.15 	Sec. 24. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 508.52, is amended to read:
422.16 	508.52 CONVEYANCE; CANCELLATION OF OLD AND ISSUANCE OF NEW 
422.17 	CERTIFICATE.
422.18 	An owner of registered land who desires to convey the land, or a portion thereof, in fee, 
422.19 	shall execute a deed of conveyance, and record the deed with the registrar. The deed of 
422.20 	conveyance shall be recorded and endorsed with the number and place of registration of 
422.21 	the certificate of title. Before canceling the outstanding certificate of title the registrar shall 
422.22 	show by memorial thereon the registration of the deed on the basis of which it is canceled. 
422.23 	The encumbrances, claims, or interests adverse to the title of the registered owner shall be 
422.24 	stated upon the new certificate, except so far as they may be simultaneously released or 
422.25 	discharged. The registrar shall not carry forward as a memorial on the new certificate of 
422.26 	title any memorials of a transfer on death deed if the grantors of the transfer on death deed 
422.27 	retain no fee interest in the land covered by the new certificate. The certificate of title shall 
422.28 	be marked "Canceled" by the registrar, who shall enter in the register a new certificate of 
422.29 	title to the grantee and prepare and deliver to the grantee a copy of the new certificate of 
422.30 	title. The registrar, upon request, shall deliver to the grantee a copy of the new certificate 
422.31 	of title. If a deed in fee is for a portion of the land described in a certificate of title, the 
422.32 	memorial of the deed entered by the registrar shall include the legal description contained 
422.33 	in the deed and the registrar shall enter a new certificate of title to the grantee for the portion 
423.1 	of the land conveyed and, except as otherwise provided in this section, issue a residue 
423.2 	certificate of title to the grantor for the portion of the land not conveyed. The registrar shall 
423.3 	prepare and, upon request, deliver to each of the parties a copy of their respective certificates 
423.4 	of title. In lieu of canceling the grantor's certificate of title and issuing a residue certificate 
423.5 	to the grantor for the portion of the land not conveyed, the registrar may if the grantor's 
423.6 	deed does not divide a parcel of unplatted land, and in the absence of a request to the contrary 
423.7 	by the registered owner, mark by the land description on the certificate of title "Part of land 
423.8 	conveyed, see memorials." The fee for a residue certificate of title shall be paid to the 
423.9 	registrar only when the grantor's certificate of title is canceled after the conveyance by the 
423.10 	grantor of a portion of the land described in the grantor's certificate of title. When two or 
423.11 	more successive conveyances of the same property are filed for registration on the same 
423.12 	day the registrar may enter a certificate in favor of the grantee or grantees in the last of the 
423.13 	successive conveyances, and the memorial of the previous deed or deeds entered on the 
423.14 	prior certificate of title shall have the same force and effect as though the prior certificate 
423.15 	of title had been entered in favor of the grantee or grantees in the earlier deed or deeds in 
423.16 	the successive conveyances. The fees for the registration of the earlier deed or deeds shall 
423.17 	be the same as the fees prescribed for the entry of memorials. The registrar of titles, with 
423.18 	the consent of the transferee, may mark "See memorials for new owner(s)" by the names 
423.19 	of the registered owners on the certificate of title and also add to the memorial of the 
423.20 	transferring conveyance a statement that the memorial shall serve in lieu of a new certificate 
423.21 	of title in favor of the grantee or grantees therein noted and may refrain from canceling the 
423.22 	certificate of title until the time it is canceled by a subsequent transfer, and the memorial 
423.23 	showing such transfer of title shall have the same effect as the entry of a new certificate of 
423.24 	title for the land described in the certificate of title; the fee for the registration of a conveyance 
423.25 	without cancellation of the certificate of title shall be the same as the fee prescribed for the 
423.26 	entry of a memorial.

423.27 	Sec. 25. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 517.08, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:

424.10 	marriage application does not have a Social Security number, the party must certify on the 
424.11 	application, or a supplement to the application, that the party does not have a Social Security 
424.12 	number;

424.20 	another state or federal jurisdiction may not use a different name after a civil marriage 
424.21 	except as authorized by section 259.13, and that doing so is a gross misdemeanor.

424.22 	Sec. 26. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 517.08, subdivision 1b, is amended to read:
424.23 		Subd. 1b.Term of license; fee; premarital education. (a) The local registrar shall 
424.24 	examine upon oath the parties applying for a license relative to the legality of the 
424.25 	contemplated civil marriage. Both parties must present proof of age to the local registrar. 
424.26 	If one party is unable to appear in person, the party appearing may complete the absent 
424.27 	applicant's information. The local registrar shall provide a copy of the civil marriage 
424.28 	application to the party who is unable to appear, who must verify the accuracy of the 
424.29 	appearing party's information in a notarized statement. The verification statement must be 
424.30 	accompanied by a copy of proof of age of the party. The civil marriage license must not be 
424.31 	released until the verification statement and proof of age has been received by the local 
424.32 	registrar. If the local registrar is satisfied that there is no legal impediment to it, including 
424.33 	the restriction contained in section 259.13, the local registrar shall issue the license, 
425.1 	containing the full names of the parties before and after the civil marriage, and county and 
425.2 	state of residence, with the county seal attached, and make a record of the date of issuance. 
425.3 	The license shall be valid for a period of six months. Except as provided in paragraph (b),

425.5 	issuing, recording, and filing all papers required, and preparing and transmitting to the state 
425.6 	registrar of vital records the reports of civil marriage required by this section. If the license 
425.7 	should not be used within the period of six months due to illness or other extenuating 
425.8 	circumstances, it may be surrendered to the local registrar for cancellation, and in that case 
425.9 	a new license shall issue upon request of the parties of the original license without fee. A 
425.10 	local registrar who knowingly issues or signs a civil marriage license in any manner other 
425.11 	than as provided in this section shall pay to the parties aggrieved an amount not to exceed 
425.12 	$1,000.
425.13 	(b) The civil marriage license fee for parties who have completed at least 12 hours of 
425.14 	premarital education is $40. In order to qualify for the reduced license fee, the parties must 
425.15 	submit at the time of applying for the civil marriage license a statement that is signed, dated, 
425.16 	and notarized or marked with a church seal from the person who provided the premarital 
425.17 	education on their letterhead confirming that it was received. The premarital education must 
425.18 	be provided by a licensed or ordained minister or the minister's designee, a person authorized 
425.19 	to solemnize civil marriages under section 517.18, or a person authorized to practice marriage 
425.20 	and family therapy under section 148B.33. The education must include the use of a premarital

425.23 	(b) must be in the following form:
425.24 	"I, .......................... (name of educator), confirm that .......................... (names of both 
425.25 	parties) received at least 12 hours of premarital education that included the use of a premarital 
425.26 	inventory and the teaching of communication and conflict management skills. I am a licensed 
425.27 	or ordained minister, a person authorized to solemnize civil marriages under Minnesota 
425.28 	Statutes, section 517.18, or a person licensed to practice marriage and family therapy under 
425.29 	Minnesota Statutes, section 148B.33."
425.30 	The names of the parties in the educator's statement must be identical to the legal names 
425.31 	of the parties as they appear in the civil marriage license application. Notwithstanding 
425.32 	section 138.17, the educator's statement must be retained for seven years, after which time 
425.33 	it may be destroyed.
426.1 	(d) If section 259.13 applies to the request for a civil marriage license, the local registrar 
426.2 	shall grant the civil marriage license without the requested name change. Alternatively, the 
426.3 	local registrar may delay the granting of the civil marriage license until the party with the 
426.4 	conviction:
426.5 	(1) certifies under oath that 30 days have passed since service of the notice for a name 
426.6 	change upon the prosecuting authority and, if applicable, the attorney general and no

426.21 	in the office of the registrar of titles means, if a summary real estate disposition judgment 
426.22 	has been approved by the court, that the summary real estate disposition judgment, rather 
426.23 	than the judgment and decree, must be recorded in the office of the county recorder or filed 
426.24 	in the office of the registrar of titles. The recorder or registrar of titles is not responsible for 
426.25 	determining if a summary real estate disposition judgment has been approved by the court.

436.2 	Sec. 43. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 82B.195, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
436.3 		Subd. 3.Additional requirements. In addition to the requirements of subdivisions 1 
436.4 	and 2, an appraiser must:
436.5 	(1) not knowingly make any of the following unacceptable appraisal practices:
436.6 	(i) include inaccurate or misleading factual data about the subject neighborhood, site, 
436.7 	improvements, or comparable sales;
436.8 	(ii) fail to comment on negative factors with respect to the subject neighborhood, subject 
436.9 	property, or proximity of the subject property to adverse influences;
436.10 	(iii) unless otherwise disclosed in the appraisal report, use comparables in the valuation 
436.11 	process that the appraiser has not at least personally inspected from the exterior by driving 
436.12 	by them;
436.13 	(iv) select and use inappropriate comparable sales or fail to use comparables that are 
436.14 	physically and by location the most similar to the subject property;
436.15 	(v) use data, particularly comparable sales data, that was provided by parties who have 
436.16 	a financial interest in the sale or financing of the subject property without the appraiser's 
436.17 	verification of the information from a disinterested source. For example, it would be 
436.18 	inappropriate for an appraiser to use comparable sales provided by the builder of the subject 
436.19 	property or a real estate broker who is handling the sale of the subject property, unless the 
436.20 	appraiser verifies the accuracy of the data provided through another source. If a signed HUD 
436.21 	Settlement Statement is used for this verification, the appraiser must also verify the sale 
436.22 	data with the buyer or county records. The appraiser must also make an independent 
436.23 	investigation to determine that the comparable sales provided were the best ones available;
436.24 	(vi) use adjustments to the comparable sales that do not reflect the market's reaction to 
436.25 	the differences between the subject property and the comparables, or fail to make adjustments 
436.26 	when they are clearly indicated;
436.27 	(vii) develop a valuation conclusion that is based either partially or completely on factors 
436.28 	identified in chapter 363A, including race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, marital 
436.29 	status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, familial status 
436.30 	of the owner or occupants of nearby property, or national origin of either the prospective 
436.31 	owners or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the subject property; or
436.32 	(viii) develop a valuation conclusion that is not supported by available market data;
437.1 	(2) provide a resume, current within six months of the date it is provided, to anyone who 
437.2 	employs the appraiser, indicating all professional degrees and licenses held by the appraiser; 
437.3 	and
437.4 	(3) reject any request by the person who has employed the appraiser that is in conflict 
437.5 	with the requirements of Minnesota law or this chapter and withdraw from the appraisal 
437.6 	assignment if the employing party persists in the request.

437.7 	Sec. 44. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 245I.12, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

437.9 	following rights:
437.10 	(1) the rights listed in the health care bill of rights in section 144.651;
437.11 	(2) the right to be free from discrimination based on age, race, color, creed, religion, 
437.12 	national origin, sex, gender identity, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, and status 
437.13 	with regard to public assistance. The license holder must follow all applicable state and 
437.14 	federal laws including the Minnesota Human Rights Act, chapter 363A; and
437.15 	(3) the right to be informed prior to a photograph or audio or video recording being made 
437.16 	of the client. The client has the right to refuse to allow any recording or photograph of the

444.16 	(e) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent an employer from:
444.17 	(1) providing information about the wages, benefits, compensation, or salary offered in 
444.18 	relation to a position; or
444.19 	(2) inquiring about or otherwise engaging in discussions with an applicant about the

444.21 	compensation.

467.8 	(b) In lieu of an initial inspection or move-out inspection under subdivision 2, when a

467.23 	discharged. If an inspection is requested, the parties shall attempt to schedule the inspection 
467.24 	at a mutually acceptable date and time.
467.25 		Subd. 3.Other requirements under law. Nothing in this section changes the

468.6 	may permit a landlord to enter the rented premises with less than 24 hours notice if desired. 
468.7 	The notice must specify a time or anticipated window of time of entry and the landlord may 
468.8 	only enter between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. unless the landlord and tenant agree

468.16 	section 504B.178, and up to a $100 $500 civil penalty for each violation. If a landlord 
468.17 	violates subdivision 5, the residential tenant is entitled to up to a $100 civil penalty for each 
468.18 	violation and reasonable attorney fees. A residential tenant shall may follow the procedures 
468.19 	in sections 504B.381, 504B.385, and 504B.395 to 504B.471 to enforce the provisions of

469.27 	amortized over the ten-year period following the incurring of the cost; and

475.8 	(b) When a tenant requires an accessible unit as defined in section 363A.40, subdivision 
475.9 	1, and the landlord can provide an accessible unit in the same complex where the tenant 
475.10 	currently resides that is available within two months of the request, then the provisions of

475.20 	tenant from liability either for the payment of rent or other sums owed prior to or during 
475.21 	the notice period, or for the payment of amounts necessary to restore the premises to their 
475.22 	condition at the commencement of the tenancy, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

476.1 	I. RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS

476.2 	Sec. 103. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 504B.285, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
476.3 		Subd. 5.Combining allegations. (a) An action for recovery of the premises may combine 
476.4 	the allegation of nonpayment of rent and the allegation of material violation of the lease, 
476.5 	which shall be heard as alternative grounds.
476.6 	(b) In cases where rent is outstanding, a tenant is not required to pay into court the 
476.7 	amount of rent in arrears, interest, and costs as required under section 504B.291 to defend 
476.8 	against an allegation by the landlord that the tenant has committed a material violation of 
476.9 	the lease.
476.10 	(c) (b) If the landlord does not prevail in proving material violation of the lease, and the 
476.11 	landlord has also alleged that rent is due, the tenant shall be permitted to present defenses 
476.12 	to the court that the rent is not owing. The tenant shall be given up to seven days of additional 
476.13 	time to pay any rent determined by the court to be due. The court may order the tenant to 
476.14 	pay rent and any costs determined to be due directly to the landlord or to be deposited with 
476.15 	the court.

476.16 	Sec. 104. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 504B.291, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
476.17 		Subdivision 1.Action to recover. (a) A landlord may bring an eviction action for 
476.18 	nonpayment of rent irrespective of whether the lease contains a right of reentry clause. Such 
476.19 	an eviction action is equivalent to a demand for the rent. There is a rebuttable presumption 
476.20 	that the rent has been paid if the tenant produces a copy or copies of one or more money 
476.21 	orders or produces one or more original receipt stubs evidencing the purchase of a money 
476.22 	order, if the documents: (i) total the amount of the rent; (ii) include a date or dates 
476.23 	approximately corresponding with the date rent was due; and (iii) in the case of copies of 
476.24 	money orders, are made payable to the landlord. This presumption is rebutted if the landlord 
476.25 	produces a business record that shows that the tenant has not paid the rent. The landlord is 
476.26 	not precluded from introducing other evidence that rebuts this presumption. In such an 
476.27 	action, unless the landlord has also sought to evict the tenant by alleging a material violation 
476.28 	of the lease under section 504B.285, subdivision 5, the tenant may, at any time before 
476.29 	possession has been delivered, redeem the tenancy and be restored to possession by paying 
476.30 	to the landlord or bringing to court the amount of the rent that is in arrears, with interest, 
476.31 	costs of the action, and an attorney's fee not to exceed $5, and by performing any other 
476.32 	covenants of the lease. Redemption may be made with a written guarantee from (1) a federal 
476.33 	agency, state agency, or local unit of government, or (2) any other organization that qualifies 
477.1 	for tax-exempt status under United States Code, title 26, section 501(c)(3), and that 
477.2 	administers a government rental assistance program, has sufficient funds available, and 
477.3 	guarantees funds will be provided to the landlord.
477.4 	(b) If the tenant has paid to the landlord or brought into court the amount of rent in 
477.5 	arrears but is unable to pay the interest, costs of the action, and attorney's fees required by 
477.6 	paragraph (a), the court may permit the tenant to pay these amounts into court and be restored 
477.7 	to possession within the same period of time, if any, for which the court stays the issuance 
477.8 	of the order to vacate under section 504B.345.
477.9 	(c) Prior to or after commencement of an action to recover possession for nonpayment 
477.10 	of rent, the parties may agree only in writing that partial payment of rent in arrears which 
477.11 	is accepted by the landlord prior to issuance of the order granting restitution of the premises 
477.12 	pursuant to section 504B.345 may be applied to the balance due and does not waive the 
477.13 	landlord's action to recover possession of the premises for nonpayment of rent.
477.14 	(d) Rental payments under this subdivision must first be applied to rent claimed as due 
477.15 	in the complaint from prior rental periods before applying any payment toward rent claimed 
477.16 	in the complaint for the current rental period, unless the court finds that under the 
477.17 	circumstances the claim for rent from prior rental periods has been waived.

477.18 	Sec. 105. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 504B.321, is amended to read:

478.23 	(b) The landlord or an agent of the landlord must deliver the notice personally or by first

478.27 	or law if the notice period prior to an eviction required by the local government is longer 
478.28 	than 14 days, or fails to vacate, then the landlord may bring an eviction action under 
478.29 	subdivision 1 based on nonpayment of rent.
478.30 		Subd. 1b.Notice constitutes verification of emergency. (a) Receipt of the notice under 
478.31 	subdivision 1a shall be deemed by a county or other agency requiring verification of
