121.8 	of the individual, properly reflect the severity of the underlying offense, or reduce sentencing 
121.9 	disparities. In making this determination, the court may consider factors relating to both the

121.21 	of the evidence that there are substantial and compelling reasons to adjust the individual's 
121.22 	sentence, the court may modify the sentence in any way provided the adjustment does not:

122.11 	prosecutor or the defendant's probation officer may, on the prosecutor's or the officer's own 
122.12 	motion or at the request of the victim, ask the court to hold a hearing to determine whether

130.12 	court may defer prosecution as provided in paragraph (c) for any person found guilty, after 
130.13 	trial or upon a plea of guilty, of a violation of section 152.023, subdivision 2, 152.024, 
130.14 	subdivision 2, 152.025, subdivision 2, or 152.027, subdivision 2, 3, 4, or 6, paragraph (d),

130.21 	attempt or conspiracy, or been convicted by the United States or another state of a similar 
130.22 	offense that would have been a felony under this chapter if committed in Minnesota, unless 
130.23 	ten years have elapsed since discharge from sentence.
130.24 	(b) The court must defer prosecution as provided in paragraph (c) for any person found

130.30 	guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person 
130.31 	on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to

131.14 	of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. Upon receipt of notice that the 
131.15 	proceedings were dismissed, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall notify the arresting

144.2 	2, or 3. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall make an initial determination of 
144.3 	eligibility within 30 days of the end of the applicable waiting period. If a record is not 
144.4 	eligible for a grant of expungement at the time of the initial determination, the Bureau of 
144.5 	Criminal Apprehension shall make subsequent eligibility determinations annually until the 
144.6 	record is eligible for a grant of expungement.
144.7 	(b) In making the determination under paragraph (a), the Bureau of Criminal 
144.8 	Apprehension shall identify individuals who are the subject of relevant records through the 
144.9 	use of fingerprints and thumbprints where fingerprints and thumbprints are available. Where 
144.10 	fingerprints and thumbprints are not available, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall

144.23 	relief granted pursuant to section 609A.015."
144.24 	(e) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform the judicial branch of all cases 
144.25 	for which expungement relief was granted pursuant to this section. Notification may be 
144.26 	through electronic means and may be made in real time or in the form of a monthly report. 
144.27 	Upon receipt of notice, the judicial branch shall seal all records relating to an arrest, 
144.28 	indictment or information, trial, verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which 
144.29 	expungement relief was granted and shall issue any order deemed necessary to achieve this 
144.30 	purpose.
144.31 	(f) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform each law enforcement agency 
144.32 	that its records may be affected by a grant of expungement relief. Notification may be

145.3 	verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which expungement relief was granted 
145.4 	and must maintain the data consistent with the classification in paragraph (g). This paragraph

145.16 	(i) In any subsequent prosecution of a person granted expungement relief, the expunged

145.18 	(j) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is directed to develop, modify, or update a

146.3 	(c) "Mistaken identity" means a person was incorrectly identified as being a different

146.14 	as the result of mistaken identity, the prosecutor must dismiss or move to dismiss the action 
146.15 	or proceeding and must state in writing or on the record that mistaken identity is the reason 
146.16 	for the dismissal.
146.17 		Subd. 3.Order of expungement. (a) The court shall issue an order of expungement 
146.18 	without the filing of a petition when an action or proceeding is dismissed based on a

146.21 	for the order.

146.27 	the status the person occupied before the arrest, indictment, or information. The person shall 
146.28 	not be guilty of perjury or otherwise of giving a false statement if the person fails to

146.30 	for any purpose.

151.9 	(b), expungement of a criminal record under this section is an extraordinary remedy to be 
151.10 	granted only upon clear and convincing evidence that it would yield a benefit to the petitioner 
151.11 	commensurate with the disadvantages to the public and public safety of:
151.12 	(1) sealing the record; and
151.13 	(2) burdening the court and public authorities to issue, enforce, and monitor an 
151.14 	expungement order.
151.15 	(b) Except as otherwise provided by this paragraph, if the petitioner is petitioning for 
151.16 	the sealing of a criminal record under section 609A.02, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause 
151.17 	(1) or (2), the court shall grant the petition to seal the record unless the agency or jurisdiction

151.20 	sealing the record.
151.21 	(c) In making a determination under this subdivision, the court shall consider:

152.7 	toward payment, and the measures in place to help ensure completion of restitution payment 
152.8 	after expungement of the record if granted; and

155.19 	of the sentence either by order of court or by operation of law, may petition the Board of 
155.20 	Pardons for the granting of a pardon extraordinary. Unless the Board of Pardons expressly

156.5 	held related to the arrest, indictment or information, trial, verdict, and pardon.

156.7 	and the notice requirements are governed by the statutes and the rules of the board in respect 
156.8 	to other proceedings before the board. The application shall contain any further information

156.21 	administrator under section 609A.03, subdivision 8, shall send a copy of the expungement

179.22 	the individual in paragraph (b) who requested the data with a short description of the 
179.23 	compelling reason access was denied and must provide notice that relief may be sought

180.7 	common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the 
180.8 	law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency 
180.9 	must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from 
180.10 	the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released 
180.11 	to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court

180.13 	any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if 
180.14 	the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (b), whether the data are clearly 
180.15 	offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in 
180.16 	camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to 
180.17 	obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

245.18 		Subdivision 1.Hearing. (a) Upon receipt of the petition for an order after a hearing, the 
245.19 	court must schedule and hold a hearing within 14 days from the date the petition was 
245.20 	received.
245.21 	(b) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request an emergency extreme 
245.22 	risk protection order under section 624.7174 separately from or simultaneously with the 
245.23 	petition under this subdivision.
245.24 	(c) The petitioning agency shall be responsible for service of an extreme risk protection 
245.25 	order issued by the court and shall further be the agency responsible for the execution of 
245.26 	any legal process required for the seizure and storage of firearms subject to the order. Nothing 
245.27 	in this provision limits the ability of the law enforcement agency of record from cooperating 
245.28 	with other law enforcement entities. When a court issues an extreme risk protection order 
245.29 	for a person who resides on Tribal territory, the chief law enforcement officer of the law 
245.30 	enforcement agency responsible for serving the order must request the assistance and counsel 
245.31 	of the appropriate Tribal police department prior to serving the respondent. When the 
245.32 	petitioner is a family or household member of the respondent, the primary law enforcement 
245.33 	agency serving the jurisdiction of residency of the respondent shall be responsible for the 
246.1 	execution of any legal process required for the seizure and storage of firearms subject to 
246.2 	the order.
246.3 	(d) Personal service of notice for the hearing may be made upon the respondent at any 
246.4 	time up to 48 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, provided that the respondent at the 
246.5 	hearing may request a continuance of up to 14 days if the respondent is served less than 
246.6 	five days prior to the hearing, which continuance shall be granted unless there are compelling 
246.7 	reasons not to do so. If the court grants the requested continuance, and an existing emergency 
246.8 	order under section 624.7174 will expire due to the continuance, the court shall also issue 
246.9 	a written order continuing the emergency order pending the new time set for the hearing.
246.10 	(e) If personal service cannot be made, the court may order service of the petition and 
246.11 	any order issued under this section by alternate means. The application for alternate service 
246.12 	must include the last known location of the respondent; the petitioner's most recent contacts 
246.13 	with the respondent; the last known location of the respondent's employment; the names 
246.14 	and locations of the respondent's parents, siblings, children, and other close relatives; the 
246.15 	names and locations of other persons who are likely to know the respondent's whereabouts; 
246.16 	and a description of efforts to locate those persons. The court shall consider the length of 
246.17 	time the respondent's location has been unknown, the likelihood that the respondent's location 
246.18 	will become known, the nature of the relief sought, and the nature of efforts made to locate 
246.19 	the respondent. The court shall order service by first class mail, forwarding address requested, 
246.20 	to any addresses where there is a reasonable possibility that mail or information will be 
246.21 	forwarded or communicated to the respondent. The court may also order publication, within 
246.22 	or without the state, but only if it might reasonably succeed in notifying the respondent of 
246.23 	the proceeding. Service shall be deemed complete 14 days after mailing or 14 days after 
246.24 	court-ordered publication.
246.25 	(f) When a petitioner who is not the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides, 
246.26 	the sheriff's designee, or a family or household member files a petition, the petitioner must 
246.27 	provide notice of the action to the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides. When 
246.28 	a family or household member is the petitioner, the court must provide notice of the action 
246.29 	to the sheriff of the county where the respondent resides.
246.30 		Subd. 2.Relief by court. (a) At the hearing, the petitioner must prove by clear and 
246.31 	convincing evidence that the respondent poses a significant danger to other persons or is at 
246.32 	significant risk of suicide by possessing a firearm.
246.33 	(b) In determining whether to grant the order after a hearing, the court shall consider 
246.34 	evidence of the following, whether or not the petitioner has provided evidence of the same:
247.1 	(1) a history of threats or acts of violence by the respondent directed toward another 
247.2 	person;
247.3 	(2) the history of use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force by the respondent 
247.4 	against another person;
247.5 	(3) a violation of any court order, including but not limited to orders issued under sections 
247.6 	624.7171 to 624.7178 or chapter 260C or 518B;
247.7 	(4) a prior arrest for a felony offense;
247.8 	(5) a conviction or prior arrest for a violent misdemeanor offense, for a stalking offense 
247.9 	under section 609.749, or for domestic assault under section 609.2242;
247.10 	(6) a conviction for an offense of cruelty to animals under chapter 343;
247.11 	(7) the unlawful and reckless use, display, or brandishing of a firearm by the respondent;
247.12 	(8) suicide attempts by the respondent or a serious mental illness; and
247.13 	(9) whether the respondent is named in an existing order in effect under sections 624.7171 
247.14 	to 624.7178 or chapter 260C or 518B, or party to a pending lawsuit, complaint, petition, or 
247.15 	other action under sections 624.7171 to 624.7178 or chapter 518B.
247.16 	(c) In determining whether to grant the order after a hearing, the court may:
247.17 	(1) subpoena peace officers who have had contact with the respondent to provide written 
247.18 	or sworn testimony regarding the officer's contacts with the respondent; and
247.19 	(2) consider any other evidence that bears on whether the respondent poses a danger to 
247.20 	others or is at risk of suicide.
247.21 	(d) If the court finds there is clear and convincing evidence to issue an extreme risk 
247.22 	protection order, the court shall issue the order prohibiting the person from possessing or 
247.23 	purchasing a firearm for the duration of the order. The court shall inform the respondent 
247.24 	that the respondent is prohibited from possessing or purchasing firearms and shall issue a 
247.25 	transfer order under section 624.7175. The court shall also give notice to the county attorney's 
247.26 	office, which may take action as it deems appropriate.
247.27 	(e) The court shall determine the length of time the order is in effect, but may not set 
247.28 	the length of time for less than six months or more than one year, subject to renewal or 
247.29 	extension under section 624.7173.
247.30 	(f) If there is no existing emergency order under section 624.7174 at the time an order 
247.31 	is granted under this section, the court shall determine by clear and convincing evidence 
248.1 	whether the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of bodily harm. If the 
248.2 	court so determines, the transfer order shall include the provisions described in section 
248.3 	624.7175, paragraph (d).
248.4 	(g) If, after a hearing, the court does not issue an order of protection, the court shall 
248.5 	vacate any emergency extreme risk protection order currently in effect.
248.6 	(h) A respondent may waive the respondent's right to contest the hearing and consent 
248.7 	to the court's imposition of an extreme risk protection order. The court shall seal the petition 
248.8 	filed under this section and section 624.7144 if a respondent who consents to imposition of 
248.9 	an extreme risk protection order requests that the petition be sealed, unless the court finds 
248.10 	that there is clear and convincing evidence that the interests of the public and public safety 
248.11 	outweigh the disadvantages to the respondent of not sealing the petition. All extreme risk 
248.12 	protection orders based on the respondent being a danger to others shall remain public. 
248.13 	Extreme risk protection orders issued for respondents who are solely at risk of suicide shall 
248.14 	not be public.

248.15 	Sec. 4. [624.7173] SUBSEQUENT EXTENSIONS AND TERMINATION.
248.16 	(a) Upon application by any party entitled to petition for an order under section 624.7172, 
248.17 	and after notice to the respondent and a hearing, the court may extend the relief granted in 
248.18 	an existing order granted after a hearing under section 624.7172. Application for an extension 
248.19 	may be made any time within the three months before the expiration of the existing order. 
248.20 	The court may extend the order if the court makes the same findings by clear and convincing 
248.21 	evidence as required for granting of an initial order under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, 
248.22 	paragraph (d). The minimum length of time of an extension is six months and the maximum 
248.23 	length of time of an extension is one year. The court shall consider the same types of evidence 
248.24 	as required for the initial order under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, paragraphs (b) and 
248.25 	(c).
248.26 	(b) Upon application by the respondent to an order issued under section 624.7172, the 
248.27 	court may terminate an order after a hearing at which the respondent shall bear the burden 
248.28 	of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent does not pose a significant 
248.29 	danger to other persons or is at significant risk of suicide by possessing a firearm. Application 
248.30 	for termination may be made one time for each year an order is in effect. If an order has 
248.31 	been issued for a period of six months, the respondent may apply for termination one time.

249.1 	Sec. 5. [624.7174] EMERGENCY ISSUANCE OF EXTREME RISK PROTECTION 
249.2 	ORDER.
249.3 	(a) In determining whether to grant an emergency extreme risk protection order, the 
249.4 	court shall consider evidence of all facts identified in section 624.7172, subdivision 2, 
249.5 	paragraphs (b) and (c).
249.6 	(b) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request an order after a hearing 
249.7 	under section 624.7172 separately from or simultaneously with the petition.
249.8 	(c) If the court finds there is probable cause that (1) the respondent poses a significant 
249.9 	danger of bodily harm to other persons or is at significant risk of suicide by possessing a 
249.10 	firearm, and (2) the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of either bodily 
249.11 	harm to others or of taking their life, the court shall issue an ex parte emergency order 
249.12 	prohibiting the respondent from possessing or purchasing a firearm for the duration of the 
249.13 	order. The order shall inform the respondent that the respondent is prohibited from possessing 
249.14 	or purchasing a firearm and shall issue a transfer order under section 624.7175, paragraph 
249.15 	(d).
249.16 	(d) A finding by the court that there is a basis for issuing an emergency extreme risk 
249.17 	protection order constitutes a finding that sufficient reasons exist not to require notice under 
249.18 	applicable court rules governing applications for ex parte relief.
249.19 	(e) The emergency order shall have a fixed period of 14 days unless a hearing is set 
249.20 	under section 624.7172 on an earlier date, in which case the order shall expire upon a judge's 
249.21 	finding that no order is issued under section 624.7172.
249.22 	(f) Except as provided in paragraph (g), the respondent shall be personally served 
249.23 	immediately with a copy of the emergency order and a copy of the petition and, if a hearing 
249.24 	is requested by the petitioner under section 624.7172, notice of the date set for the hearing. 
249.25 	If the petitioner does not request a hearing under section 624.7172, an order served on a 
249.26 	respondent under this section must include a notice advising the respondent of the right to 
249.27 	request a hearing challenging the issuance of the emergency order, and must be accompanied 
249.28 	by a form that can be used by the respondent to request a hearing.
249.29 	(g) Service of the emergency order may be made by alternate service as provided under 
249.30 	section 624.7172, subdivision 1, paragraph (e), provided that the petitioner files the affidavit 
249.31 	required under that subdivision. If the petitioner does not request a hearing under section 
249.32 	624.7172, the petition mailed to the respondent's residence, if known, must be accompanied 
249.33 	by the form for requesting a hearing described in paragraph (f).

250.1 	Sec. 6. [624.7175] TRANSFER OF FIREARMS.
250.2 	(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), upon issuance of an extreme risk protection 
250.3 	order, the court shall direct the respondent to transfer any firearms the person possesses as 
250.4 	soon as reasonably practicable, but in no case later than 24 hours, to a federally licensed 
250.5 	firearms dealer or a law enforcement agency. If the respondent elects to transfer the 
250.6 	respondent's firearms to a law enforcement agency, the agency must accept the transfer. 
250.7 	The transfer may be permanent or temporary. A temporary firearm transfer only entitles 
250.8 	the receiving party to possess the firearm and does not transfer ownership or title. If the 
250.9 	respondent makes a temporary transfer, a federally licensed firearms dealer or law 
250.10 	enforcement agency may charge the respondent a reasonable fee to store the firearms and 
250.11 	may establish policies for disposal of abandoned firearms, provided these policies require 
250.12 	that the respondent be notified prior to disposal of abandoned firearms. If a respondent 
250.13 	permanently transfers the respondent's firearms to a law enforcement agency, the agency 
250.14 	is not required to compensate the respondent and may charge the respondent a reasonable 
250.15 	processing fee.
250.16 	(b) A person directed to transfer any firearms pursuant to paragraph (a) may transfer 
250.17 	any antique firearm, as defined in United States Code, title 18, section 921, paragraph (a), 
250.18 	clause (16), as amended, or a curio or relic as defined in Code of Federal Regulations, title 
250.19 	27, section 478.11, as amended, to a relative who does not live with the respondent after 
250.20 	confirming that the relative may lawfully own or possess a firearm.
250.21 	(c) The respondent must file proof of transfer as provided in this paragraph.
250.22 	(1) A law enforcement agency or federally licensed firearms dealer accepting transfer 
250.23 	of a firearm pursuant to this section shall provide proof of transfer to the respondent. The 
250.24 	proof of transfer must specify whether the firearms were permanently or temporarily 
250.25 	transferred and must include the name of the respondent, date of transfer, and the serial 
250.26 	number, manufacturer, and model of all transferred firearms. If transfer is made to a federally 
250.27 	licensed firearms dealer, the respondent shall, within two business days after being served 
250.28 	with the order, file a copy of proof of transfer with the law enforcement agency and attest 
250.29 	that all firearms owned or possessed at the time of the order have been transferred in 
250.30 	accordance with this section and that the person currently does not possess any firearms. If 
250.31 	the respondent claims not to own or possess firearms, the respondent shall file a declaration 
250.32 	of nonpossession with the law enforcement agency attesting that, at the time of the order, 
250.33 	the respondent neither owned nor possessed any firearms, and that the respondent currently 
250.34 	neither owns nor possesses any firearms. If the transfer is made to a relative pursuant to 
250.35 	paragraph (b), the relative must sign an affidavit under oath before a notary public either 
251.1 	acknowledging that the respondent permanently transferred the respondent's antique firearms, 
251.2 	curios, or relics to the relative or agreeing to temporarily store the respondent's antique 
251.3 	firearms, curios, or relics until such time as the respondent is legally permitted to possess 
251.4 	firearms. To the extent possible, the affidavit shall indicate the serial number, make, and 
251.5 	model of all antique firearms, curios, or relics transferred by the respondent to the relative.
251.6 	(2) The court shall seal affidavits, proofs of transfer, and declarations of nonpossession 
251.7 	filed pursuant to this paragraph.
251.8 	(d) If a court issues an emergency order under section 624.7174, or makes a finding of 
251.9 	immediate and present danger under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, paragraph (f), and 
251.10 	there is probable cause to believe the respondent possesses firearms, the court shall issue a 
251.11 	search warrant to the local law enforcement agency to take possession of all firearms in the 
251.12 	respondent's possession as soon as practicable. The chief law enforcement officer or the 
251.13 	chief's designee shall notify the respondent of the option to voluntarily comply with the 
251.14 	order by surrendering the respondent's firearms to law enforcement prior to execution of 
251.15 	the search warrant. Only if the respondent refuses to voluntarily comply with the order to 
251.16 	surrender the respondent's firearms shall the officer or officers tasked with serving the search 
251.17 	warrant execute the warrant. The local law enforcement agency shall, upon written notice 
251.18 	from the respondent, transfer the firearms to a federally licensed firearms dealer. Before a 
251.19 	local law enforcement agency transfers a firearm under this paragraph, the agency shall 
251.20 	require the federally licensed firearms dealer receiving the firearm to submit a proof of 
251.21 	transfer that complies with the requirements for proofs of transfer established in paragraph 
251.22 	(c). The agency shall file all proofs of transfer received by the court within two business 
251.23 	days of the transfer. A federally licensed firearms dealer who accepts a firearm transfer 
251.24 	pursuant to this paragraph shall comply with paragraphs (a) and (c) as if accepting transfer 
251.25 	directly from the respondent. If the law enforcement agency does not receive written notice 
251.26 	from the respondent within three business days, the agency may charge a reasonable fee to 
251.27 	store the respondent's firearms. A law enforcement agency may establish policies for disposal 
251.28 	of abandoned firearms, provided these policies require that the respondent be notified prior 
251.29 	to disposal of abandoned firearms.

251.30 	Sec. 7. [624.7176] RETURN OF FIREARMS.
251.31 		Subdivision 1.Law enforcement. A local law enforcement agency that accepted 
251.32 	temporary transfer of firearms under section 624.7175 shall return the firearms to the 
251.33 	respondent after the expiration of the order, provided the respondent is not otherwise 
251.34 	prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law.
252.1 		Subd. 2.Firearms dealer. A federally licensed firearms dealer that accepted temporary 
252.2 	transfer of firearms under section 624.7175 shall return the transferred firearms to the 
252.3 	respondent upon request after the expiration of the order, provided the respondent is not 
252.4 	otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. A federally licensed 
252.5 	firearms dealer returning firearms shall comply with state and federal law as though 
252.6 	transferring a firearm from the dealer's own inventory.

252.7 	Sec. 8. [624.7177] OFFENSES.
252.8 		Subdivision 1.False information or harassment. A person who petitions for an extreme 
252.9 	risk protection order under section 624.7172 or 624.7174, knowing any information in the 
252.10 	petition to be materially false or with the intent to harass, abuse, or threaten, is guilty of a 
252.11 	gross misdemeanor. A person who violates this subdivision a second or subsequent time is 
252.12 	guilty of a felony.
252.13 		Subd. 2.Violation of order. A person who possesses a firearm and knows or should 
252.14 	have known that the person is prohibited from doing so by an extreme risk protection order 
252.15 	under section 624.7172 or 624.7174, or by an order of protection granted by a judge or 
252.16 	referee pursuant to a substantially similar law of another state, is guilty of a misdemeanor 
252.17 	and shall be prohibited from possessing firearms for a period of five years. Each extreme 
252.18 	risk protection order granted under this chapter must contain a conspicuous notice to the 
252.19 	respondent regarding the penalty for violation of the order.

252.20 	Sec. 9. [624.7178] LIABILITY PROTECTION.
252.21 		Subdivision 1.Liability protection for petition. A chief law enforcement officer, the 
252.22 	chief law enforcement officer's designee, or a city or county attorney who, in good faith, 
252.23 	decides not to petition for an extreme risk protection order or emergency extreme risk 
252.24 	protection order shall be immune from criminal or civil liability.
252.25 		Subd. 2.Liability protection for storage of firearms. A law enforcement agency shall 
252.26 	be immune from civil or criminal liability for any damage or deterioration of firearms, 
252.27 	ammunition, or weapons stored or transported pursuant to section 624.7175. This subdivision 
252.28 	shall not apply if the damage or deterioration occurred as a result of recklessness, gross 
252.29 	negligence, or intentional misconduct by the law enforcement agency.
252.30 		Subd. 3.Liability protection for harm following service of an order or execution of 
252.31 	a search warrant. A peace officer, law enforcement agency, and the state or a political 
252.32 	subdivision by which a peace officer is employed has immunity from any liability, civil or 
252.33 	criminal, for harm caused by a person who is the subject of an extreme risk protection order, 
253.1 	a search warrant issued pursuant to section 624.7175, paragraph (d), or both, after service 
253.2 	of the order or execution of the warrant, whichever comes first, if the peace officer acts in 
253.3 	good faith in serving the order or executing the warrant.
253.4 		Subd. 4.Liability protection for mental health professionals. A mental health 
253.5 	professional who provides notice to the sheriff under section 624.7171, subdivision 5, is 
253.6 	immune from monetary liability and no cause of action, or disciplinary action by the person's 
253.7 	licensing board, may arise against the mental health professional for disclosure of confidences 
253.8 	to the sheriff, for failure to disclose confidences to the sheriff, or for erroneous disclosure 
253.9 	of confidences to the sheriff in a good faith effort to warn against or take precautions against 
253.10 	a client's violent behavior or threat of suicide.

317.22 	of the new rule or policy or change.
317.23 	(b) Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the legal custody and 
317.24 	under the control of the commissioner, subject at any time to be returned to a facility of the 
317.25 	Department of Corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment of convicted 
317.26 	persons and the parole rescinded by the commissioner.

318.11 	conditions of pretrial release.
318.12 	(f) Persons conditionally released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
318.13 	commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be placed within or outside 
318.14 	the boundaries of the state at the discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, 
318.15 	and the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced according to their conduct.
318.16 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, in considering applications for 
318.17 	conditional release or discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral argument 
318.18 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
318.19 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
318.20 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise,

318.28 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
318.29 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
318.30 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
318.31 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
318.32 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
318.33 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
318.34 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
319.1 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
319.2 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
319.3 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
319.4 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
319.5 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
319.6 	period.
319.7 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
319.8 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
319.9 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
319.10 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
319.11 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
319.12 	under the circumstances.
319.13 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
319.14 	(i) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation 
319.15 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
319.16 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole or probation 
319.17 	agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
319.18 	not limited to, inpatient substance use disorder treatment. If a probation or parole agent 
319.19 	determines that community options are appropriate, the agent shall seek to restructure the 
319.20 	offender's terms of release to incorporate those options. If an offender on probation stipulates 
319.21 	in writing to restructure the terms of release, a probation agent must forward a report to the 
319.22 	district court containing:
319.23 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
319.24 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
319.25 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
319.26 	the restructuring of probation.
319.27 	The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by a 
319.28 	judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation and amend the terms of 
319.29 	the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135. If a nonviolent controlled substance 
319.30 	offender's parole or probation is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place 
319.31 	the offender in a local jail. For purposes of this paragraph, "nonviolent controlled substance 
319.32 	offender" is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 
319.33 	2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means any violation of a court order 
320.1 	of probation or a condition of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that 
320.2 	is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or petition.

320.3 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.05, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
320.4 		Subd. 3.Sanctions for violation. (a) If an inmate violates the conditions of the inmate's 
320.5 	supervised release imposed by the commissioner, the commissioner may:
320.6 	(1) continue the inmate's supervised release term, with or without:
320.7 	(i) modifying or enlarging the conditions imposed on the inmate; or
320.8 	(ii) transferring the inmate's case to a specialized caseload; or
320.9 	(2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison the inmate for the appropriate 
320.10 	period of time.
320.11 	(b) Before revoking an inmate's supervised release because of a technical violation that 
320.12 	would result in reimprisonment, the commissioner must identify alternative interventions 
320.13 	to address and correct the violation only if:
320.14 	(1) the inmate does not present a risk to the public; and
320.15 	(2) the inmate is amenable to continued supervision.
320.16 	(c) If alternative interventions are appropriate and available, the commissioner must 
320.17 	restructure the inmate's terms of release to incorporate the alternative interventions.
320.18 	(d) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's supervised release 
320.19 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
320.20 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, the commissioner 
320.21 	must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but not 
320.22 	limited to, inpatient substance use disorder treatment. If the commissioner determines that 
320.23 	community options are appropriate, the commissioner shall restructure the inmate's terms 
320.24 	of release to incorporate those options. If a nonviolent controlled substance offender's 
320.25 	supervised release is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place the offender 
320.26 	in a local jail. For purposes of this subdivision, "nonviolent controlled substance offender" 
320.27 	is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 2, clauses 
320.28 	(1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means a violation of a condition of supervised 
320.29 	release, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that is alleged in a formal complaint, 
320.30 	citation, or petition.
320.31 	(e) The period of time for which a supervised release may be revoked may not exceed 
320.32 	the period of time remaining in the inmate's sentence, except that if a sex offender is 
321.1 	sentenced and conditionally released under Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 609.108, 
321.2 	subdivision 5, the period of time for which conditional release may be revoked may not 
321.3 	exceed the balance of the conditional release term.

321.4 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.19, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

321.8 	and the human services board shall appoint persons as necessary to provide correctional 
321.9 	services within the authority granted in chapter 402. In all counties of more than 200,000 
321.10 	population, which have not organized pursuant to chapter 402, the district court shall appoint 
321.11 	one or more persons of good character to serve as county probation officers during the 
321.12 	pleasure of the court. All other counties shall provide adult misdemeanant and juvenile 
321.13 	probation services to district courts in one of the following ways:
321.14 	(1) the court, with the approval of the county boards, may appoint one or more salaried 
321.15 	county probation officers to serve during the pleasure of the court;
321.16 	(2) when two or more counties offer probation services the district court through the 
321.17 	county boards may appoint common salaried county probation officers to serve in the several 
321.18 	counties;
321.19 	(3) a county or a district court may request the commissioner of corrections to furnish 
321.20 	probation services in accordance with the provisions of this section, and the commissioner 
321.21 	of corrections shall furnish such services to any county or court that fails to provide its own 
321.22 	probation officer by one of the two procedures listed above;
321.23 	(4) if a county or district court providing probation services under clause (1) or (2) asks

330.25 	to aid the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Probation officers may impose up to eight hours 
330.26 	of community work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 
330.27 	12-month period, beginning on the date on which community work service is first imposed.

330.29 	40 hours of community work service, for a total of 64 hours per offender per 12-month 
330.30 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. At the 
330.31 	time community work service is imposed, probation officers are required to provide written 
330.32 	notice to the offender that states:
330.33 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
330.34 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
331.1 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
331.2 	period.
331.3 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
331.4 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
331.5 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
331.6 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
331.7 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
331.8 	under the circumstances.
331.9 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.

331.10 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.025, is amended to read:

331.20 	conditional release commits a violation described in section 609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph 
331.21 	(a), the chief executive officer or designee must have a reasonable belief that the order is 
331.22 	necessary to prevent the person from escaping or absconding from supervision or that the 
331.23 	continued presence of the person in the community presents a risk to public safety before 
331.24 	issuing a written order. This written order is sufficient authority for the peace officer or 
331.25 	probation officer to detain the person for not more than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays,

332.4 	court-ordered pretrial release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the 
332.5 	conditions of pretrial release. A written order issued under this paragraph is sufficient 
332.6 	authority for the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person.
332.7 		Subd. 2.Peace officers and probation officers in other counties and state correctional 
332.8 	investigators. (a) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency

332.19 	investigator or any peace officer, probation officer, or county probation officer from another 
332.20 	county to detain any person on court-ordered pretrial release who absconds from pretrial 
332.21 	release or fails to abide by the conditions of pretrial release.
332.22 	(c) A written order issued under paragraph (a) or (b) is sufficient authority for the state 
332.23 	correctional investigator, peace officer, probation officer, or county probation officer to 
332.24 	detain the person.
332.25 		Subd. 3.Offenders under Department of Corrections commitment. CCA counties
332.26 	jurisdictions shall comply with the policies prescribed by the commissioner when providing 
332.27 	supervision and other correctional services to persons conditionally released pursuant to

335.2 	on individuals convicted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile identified in under section 
335.3 	241.016, subdivision 1, paragraph (c).
335.4 		Subd. 4.Commissioner review. (a) The commissioner shall must review annually the

337.1 	Sec. 23. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.10, is amended to read:
337.2 	401.10 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AID.
337.3 		Subdivision 1.Aid calculations Funding formula. To determine the community 
337.4 	corrections aid amount to be paid to each participating county, the commissioner of 
337.5 	corrections must apply the following formula:
337.6 	(1) For each of the 87 counties in the state, a percent score must be calculated for each 
337.7 	of the following five factors:
337.8 	(i) percent of the total state population aged ten to 24 residing within the county according 
337.9 	to the most recent federal census, and, in the intervening years between the taking of the 
337.10 	federal census, according to the most recent estimate of the state demographer;
337.11 	(ii) percent of the statewide total number of felony case filings occurring within the 
337.12 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
337.13 	(iii) percent of the statewide total number of juvenile case filings occurring within the 
337.14 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
337.15 	(iv) percent of the statewide total number of gross misdemeanor case filings occurring 
337.16 	within the county, as determined by the state court administrator; and
337.17 	(v) percent of the total statewide number of convicted felony offenders who did not 
337.18 	receive an executed prison sentence, as monitored and reported by the Sentencing Guidelines 
337.19 	Commission.
337.20 	The percents in items (ii) to (v) must be calculated by combining the most recent 
337.21 	three-year period of available data. The percents in items (i) to (v) each must sum to 100 
337.22 	percent across the 87 counties.
337.23 	(2) For each of the 87 counties, the county's percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), must 
337.24 	be weighted, summed, and divided by the sum of the weights to yield an average percent 
337.25 	for each county, referred to as the county's "composite need percent." When performing 
337.26 	this calculation, the weight for each of the percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), is 1.0. The 
337.27 	composite need percent must sum to 100 percent across the 87 counties.
337.28 	(3) For each of the 87 counties, the county's "adjusted net tax capacity percent" is the 
337.29 	county's adjusted net tax capacity amount, defined in the same manner as it is defined for 
337.30 	cities in section 477A.011, subdivision 20, divided by the statewide total adjusted net tax 
337.31 	capacity amount. The adjusted net tax capacity percent must sum to 100 percent across the 
337.32 	87 counties.
338.1 	(4) For each of the 87 counties, the county's composite need percent must be divided by 
338.2 	the county's adjusted net tax capacity percent to produce a ratio that, when multiplied by 
338.3 	the county's composite need percent, results in the county's "tax base adjusted need percent."
338.4 	(5) For each of the 87 counties, the county's tax base adjusted need percent must be 
338.5 	added to twice the composite need percent, and the sum must be divided by 3, to yield the 
338.6 	county's "weighted need percent."
338.7 	(6) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be added to the weighted 
338.8 	need percent of each other participating county to yield the "total weighted need percent 
338.9 	for participating counties."
338.10 	(7) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be divided by the total 
338.11 	weighted need percent for participating counties to yield the county's "share percent." The 
338.12 	share percents for participating counties must sum to 100 percent.
338.13 	(8) Each participating county's "base funding amount" is the aid amount that the county 
338.14 	received under this section for fiscal year 1995 plus the amount received in caseload or 
338.15 	workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision grants in fiscal 
338.16 	year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections. In fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, 
338.17 	no county's aid amount under this section may be less than its base funding amount, provided 
338.18 	that the total amount appropriated for this purpose is at least as much as the aggregate base 
338.19 	funding amount defined in clause (9).
338.20 	(9) The "aggregate base funding amount" is equal to the sum of the base funding amounts 
338.21 	for all participating counties. If a county that participated under this section chooses not to 
338.22 	participate in any given year, then the aggregate base funding amount must be reduced by 
338.23 	that county's base funding amount. If a county that did not participate under this section in 
338.24 	fiscal year 1995 chooses to participate on or after July 1, 2015, then the aggregate base 
338.25 	funding amount must be increased by the amount of aid that the county would have received 
338.26 	had it participated in fiscal year 1995 plus the estimated amount it would have received in 
338.27 	caseload or workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision 
338.28 	grants in fiscal year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections, and the amount 
338.29 	of increase shall be that county's base funding amount.
338.30 	(10) In any given year, the total amount appropriated for this purpose first must be 
338.31 	allocated to participating counties in accordance with each county's base funding amount. 
338.32 	Then, any remaining amount in excess of the aggregate base funding amount must be 
338.33 	allocated to participating counties in proportion to each county's share percent, and is referred 
338.34 	to as the county's "formula amount."
339.1 	Each participating county's "community corrections aid amount" equals the sum of (i) 
339.2 	the county's base funding amount, and (ii) the county's formula amount.
339.3 	(11) However, if in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section 
339.4 	is less than the aggregate base funding amount, then each participating county's community 
339.5 	corrections aid amount is the product of (i) the county's base funding amount multiplied by 
339.6 	(ii) the ratio of the total amount appropriated to the aggregate base funding amount.
339.7 	For each participating county, the county's community corrections aid amount calculated 
339.8 	in this subdivision is the total amount of subsidy to which the county is entitled under 
339.9 	sections 401.01 to 401.16.
339.10 	(a) Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the subsidy paid to each county and Tribal government 
339.11 	and the commissioner of corrections for supervision in counties or Tribal jurisdictions served 
339.12 	by the department shall equal the sum of:
339.13 	(1) a base funding amount equal to $200,000, plus:
339.14 	(i) ten percent of the total for all appropriations to the commissioner for community 
339.15 	supervision and postrelease services during the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year for which 
339.16 	the subsidy will be paid multiplied by the county's or Tribe's percent share of the state's 
339.17 	total population as determined by the most recent census; and
339.18 	(ii) ten percent of the total for all appropriations to the commissioner for community 
339.19 	supervision and postrelease services during the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year for which 
339.20 	the subsidy will be paid multiplied by the county's or Tribe's percent share of the state's 
339.21 	total geographic area; and
339.22 	(2) a community supervision formula equal to the sum of:
339.23 	(i) for felony cases, a felony per diem rate of $5.33 multiplied by the sum of the county's 
339.24 	adult felony population, adult supervised release and parole populations, and juvenile 
339.25 	supervised release and parole populations as reported in the most recent probation survey 
339.26 	published by the commissioner, multiplied by 365, and
339.27 	(ii) for gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and juvenile probation cases, the felony per 
339.28 	diem rate used in item (i) multiplied by 0.5 and then multiplied by the sum of the county's 
339.29 	gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and juvenile populations as reported in the most recent 
339.30 	probation survey published by the commissioner, multiplied by 365.
339.31 	(b) Each participating county's community corrections aid amount equals the sum of (1) 
339.32 	the county's base funding amount, and (2) the county's formula amount.
340.1 	(c) If in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section is more 
340.2 	than or less than the total of base funding plus community supervision formula funding for 
340.3 	all counties, the sum of each county's base funding plus community supervision formula 
340.4 	funding shall be adjusted by the ratio of amounts appropriated for this purpose divided by

341.32 	to 401.16, the commissioner shall retain the surplus, subject to disbursement in the following 
342.1 	year wherein such county CCA jurisdiction can demonstrate a need for and ability to expend 
342.2 	same for the purposes provided in section 401.01. If in any biennium the subsidy is increased 
342.3 	by an inflationary adjustment which results in the county CCA jurisdiction receiving more 
342.4 	actual subsidy than it did in the previous calendar year, the county CCA jurisdiction shall 
342.5 	be eligible for that increase only if the current level of spending is increased by a percentage

342.27 	certified statements detailing the amounts expended and costs incurred in furnishing the 
342.28 	correctional services provided in sections 401.01 to 401.16. Upon receipt of certified 
342.29 	statements, the commissioner shall, in the manner provided in sections 401.10 and 401.12, 
342.30 	determine the amount each participating county is entitled to receive, making any adjustments 
342.31 	necessary to rectify any disparity between the amounts received pursuant to the estimate 
342.32 	provided in section 401.14 and the amounts actually expended. If the amount received 
342.33 	pursuant to the estimate is greater than the amount actually expended during the quarter, 
343.1 	the commissioner may withhold the difference from any subsequent monthly payments 
343.2 	made pursuant to section 401.14. Upon certification by the commissioner of the amount a 
343.3 	participating county CCA jurisdiction is entitled to receive under the provisions of section 
343.4 	401.14 or of this subdivision the commissioner of management and budget shall thereupon 
343.5 	issue a payment to the chief fiscal officer of each participating county CCA jurisdiction for

343.14 	balance of moneys allocated to the county, or that amount necessary to reinstate state 
343.15 	correctional services displaced by that county's participation, including complement positions,

347.9 	conditions of probation or intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of misconduct 
347.10 	which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, the court may without notice revoke 
347.11 	the stay and direct that the defendant be taken into immediate custody. Revocation shall 
347.12 	only be used as a last resort when rehabilitation has failed.
347.13 	(b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the conditions of probation during 
347.14 	the term of the stay, but the term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation 
347.15 	officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate probation revocation proceedings 
347.16 	under the Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time within six months after the expiration 
347.17 	of the stay. The court also may initiate proceedings under these circumstances on its own 
347.18 	motion. If proceedings are initiated within this six-month period, the court may conduct a 
347.19 	revocation hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any time during or

347.27 	the stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary hearing is conducted after the

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

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

348.2 	read:
348.3 		Subd. 1a.Violations where policies favor continued rehabilitation. (a) Correctional 
348.4 	treatment is better provided through a community resource than through confinement and 
348.5 	would not unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violation if probation was not revoked. 
348.6 	Policies favoring probation outweigh the need for confinement if a person has not previously 
348.7 	violated a condition of probation or intermediate sanction and does any of the following in 
348.8 	violation of a condition imposed by the court:
348.9 	(1) fails to abstain from the use of controlled substances without a valid prescription, 
348.10 	unless the person is under supervision for a violation of section:
348.11 	(i) 169A.20;
348.12 	(ii) 609.2112, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clauses (2) to (6); or

348.14 	(6);
348.15 	(2) fails to abstain from the use of alcohol, unless the person is under supervision for a 
348.16 	violation of section:
348.17 	(i) 169A.20;
348.18 	(ii) 609.2112, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clauses (2) to (6); or

348.22 	(4) fails to obtain or maintain employment;
348.23 	(5) fails to pursue a course of study or vocational training;
348.24 	(6) fails to report a change in employment, unless the person is prohibited from having 
348.25 	contact with minors and the employment would involve such contact;
348.26 	(7) violates a curfew;
348.27 	(8) fails to report contact with a law enforcement agency, unless the person was charged 
348.28 	with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony; or
348.29 	(9) commits any offense for which the penalty is a petty misdemeanor.
349.1 	(b) A violation by a person described in paragraph (a) does not warrant the imposition 
349.2 	or execution of sentence and the court may not direct that the person be taken into immediate 
349.3 	custody unless the court receives a written report, signed under penalty of perjury pursuant 
349.4 	to section 358.116, showing probable cause to believe the person violated probation and 
349.5 	establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the continued presence of the person 
349.6 	in the community would present a risk to public safety. If the court does not direct that the 
349.7 	person be taken into custody, the court may request a supplemental report from the 
349.8 	supervising agent containing:
349.9 	(1) the specific nature of the violation;
349.10 	(2) the response of the person under supervision to the violation, if any; and
349.11 	(3) the actions the supervising agent has taken or will take to address the violation.

As used in this section, "local correctional fees" include fees for the following correctional services: 

(1) community service work placement and supervision; 

(2) restitution collection; 

(3) supervision; 

(4) court ordered investigations; 

(5) any other court ordered service; 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The commissioner of corrections shall specify the manner in which probation caseload reduction grant money shall be distributed between the providers according to the approved plan. 

244.24 CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR ADULT OFFENDERS.
By February 1, 1998, all probation agencies shall adopt written policies for classifying adult offenders.
