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

2.10 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.052, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
2.11 		Subd. 3.End-of-confinement review committee. (a) The commissioner of corrections 
2.12 	shall establish and administer end-of-confinement review committees at each state 
2.13 	correctional facility and at each state treatment facility where predatory offenders are 
2.14 	confined. The committees shall assess on a case-by-case basis the public risk posed by 
2.15 	predatory offenders who are about to be released from confinement.
2.16 	(b) Each committee shall be a standing committee and shall consist of the following 
2.17 	members appointed by the commissioner:
2.18 	(1) the chief executive officer or head of the correctional or treatment facility where the 
2.19 	offender is currently confined, or that person's designee;
2.20 	(2) a law enforcement officer;
2.21 	(3) a treatment professional who is trained in the assessment of sex offenders;
2.22 	(4) a caseworker experienced in supervising sex offenders; and
2.23 	(5) a victim's services professional.
2.24 	Members of the committee, other than the facility's chief executive officer or head, shall 
2.25 	be appointed by the commissioner to two-year terms. The chief executive officer or head 
2.26 	of the facility or designee shall act as chair of the committee and shall use the facility's staff, 
2.27 	as needed, to administer the committee, obtain necessary information from outside sources, 
2.28 	and prepare risk assessment reports on offenders.
2.29 	(c) The committee shall have access to the following data on a predatory offender only 
2.30 	for the purposes of its assessment and to defend the committee's risk assessment 
2.31 	determination upon administrative review under this section:
3.1 	(1) private medical data under section 13.384 or sections 144.291 to 144.298, or welfare 
3.2 	data under section 13.46 that relate to medical treatment of the offender;
3.3 	(2) private and confidential court services data under section 13.84;
3.4 	(3) private and confidential corrections data under section 13.85; and
3.5 	(4) private criminal history data under section 13.87.
3.6 	Data collected and maintained by the committee under this paragraph may not be 
3.7 	disclosed outside the committee, except as provided under section 13.05, subdivision 3 or 
3.8 	4. The predatory offender has access to data on the offender collected and maintained by 
3.9 	the committee, unless the data are confidential data received under this paragraph.
3.10 	(d)(i) Except as otherwise provided in items (ii), (iii), and (iv), at least 90 days before a 
3.11 	predatory offender is to be released from confinement, the commissioner of corrections 
3.12 	shall convene the appropriate end-of-confinement review committee for the purpose of 
3.13 	assessing the risk presented by the offender and determining the risk level to which the 
3.14 	offender shall be assigned under paragraph (e). The offender and the law enforcement agency 
3.15 	that was responsible for the charge resulting in confinement shall be notified of the time 
3.16 	and place of the committee's meeting. The offender has a right to be present and be heard 
3.17 	at the meeting. The law enforcement agency, agent, and victim may provide material in 
3.18 	writing that is relevant to the offender's risk level to the chair of the committee. The 
3.19 	committee shall use the risk factors described in paragraph (g) and the risk assessment scale 
3.20 	developed under subdivision 2 to determine the offender's risk assessment score and risk 
3.21 	level. Offenders scheduled for release from confinement shall be assessed by the committee 
3.22 	established at the facility from which the offender is to be released.
3.23 	(ii) If an offender is received for confinement in a facility with less than 90 days remaining 
3.24 	in the offender's term of confinement, the offender's risk shall be assessed at the first regularly 
3.25 	scheduled end of confinement review committee that convenes after the appropriate 
3.26 	documentation for the risk assessment is assembled by the committee. The commissioner 
3.27 	shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that offender's risk is assessed and a risk level is 
3.28 	assigned or reassigned at least 30 days before the offender's release date.
3.29 	(iii) If the offender is subject to a mandatory life sentence under section 609.3455, 
3.30 	subdivision 3 or 4, the commissioner of corrections shall convene the appropriate 
3.31 	end-of-confinement review committee at least nine months before the offender's minimum 
3.32 	term of imprisonment has been served. If the offender is received for confinement in a 
3.33 	facility with less than nine months remaining before the offender's minimum term of 
4.1 	imprisonment has been served, the committee shall conform its procedures to those outlined 
4.2 	in item (ii) to the extent practicable.
4.3 	(iv) If the offender is granted supervised release, the commissioner of corrections shall 
4.4 	notify the appropriate end-of-confinement review committee that it needs to review the 
4.5 	offender's previously determined risk level at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The 
4.6 	commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the offender's earlier risk level 
4.7 	determination is reviewed and the risk level is confirmed or reassigned at least 60 days 
4.8 	before the offender's release date. The committee shall give the report to the offender and 
4.9 	to the law enforcement agency, and the commissioner shall provide notice of the risk level 
4.10 	assignment to the victim, if requested, at least 60 days before an offender is released from 
4.11 	confinement.
4.12 	(e) The committee shall assign to risk level I a predatory offender whose risk assessment 
4.13 	score indicates a low risk of reoffense. The committee shall assign to risk level II an offender 
4.14 	whose risk assessment score indicates a moderate risk of reoffense. The committee shall 
4.15 	assign to risk level III an offender whose risk assessment score indicates a high risk of 
4.16 	reoffense.
4.17 	(f) Before the predatory offender is released from confinement, the committee shall 
4.18 	prepare a risk assessment report which specifies the risk level to which the offender has 
4.19 	been assigned and the reasons underlying the committee's risk assessment decision. Except 
4.20 	for an offender subject to a mandatory life sentence under section 609.3455, subdivision 3
4.21 	or 4, who has not been granted supervised release, the committee shall give the report to 
4.22 	the offender and to the law enforcement agency, and the commissioner shall provide notice 
4.23 	of the risk level assignment to the victim, if requested, at least 60 days before an offender 
4.24 	is released from confinement. If the offender is subject to a mandatory life sentence and 
4.25 	has not yet served the entire minimum term of imprisonment, the committee shall give the 
4.26 	report to the offender and to the commissioner at least six months before the offender is 
4.27 	first eligible for release. If the risk assessment is performed under the circumstances described 
4.28 	in paragraph (d), item (ii), the report shall be given to the offender and the law enforcement 
4.29 	agency as soon as it is available. The committee also shall inform the offender of the 
4.30 	availability of review under subdivision 6.
4.31 	(g) As used in this subdivision, "risk factors" includes, but is not limited to, the following 
4.32 	factors:
4.33 	(1) the seriousness of the offense should the offender reoffend. This factor includes 
4.34 	consideration of the following:
5.1 	(i) the degree of likely force or harm;
5.2 	(ii) the degree of likely physical contact; and
5.3 	(iii) the age of the likely victim;
5.4 	(2) the offender's prior offense history. This factor includes consideration of the following:
5.5 	(i) the relationship of prior victims to the offender;
5.6 	(ii) the number of prior offenses or victims;
5.7 	(iii) the duration of the offender's prior offense history;
5.8 	(iv) the length of time since the offender's last prior offense while the offender was at 
5.9 	risk to commit offenses; and
5.10 	(v) the offender's prior history of other antisocial acts;
5.11 	(3) the offender's characteristics. This factor includes consideration of the following:
5.12 	(i) the offender's response to prior treatment efforts; and
5.13 	(ii) the offender's history of substance abuse;
5.14 	(4) the availability of community supports to the offender. This factor includes 
5.15 	consideration of the following:
5.16 	(i) the availability and likelihood that the offender will be involved in therapeutic 
5.17 	treatment;
5.18 	(ii) the availability of residential supports to the offender, such as a stable and supervised 
5.19 	living arrangement in an appropriate location;
5.20 	(iii) the offender's familial and social relationships, including the nature and length of 
5.21 	these relationships and the level of support that the offender may receive from these persons; 
5.22 	and
5.23 	(iv) the offender's lack of education or employment stability;
5.24 	(5) whether the offender has indicated or credible evidence in the record indicates that 
5.25 	the offender will reoffend if released into the community; and
5.26 	(6) whether the offender demonstrates a physical condition that minimizes the risk of 
5.27 	reoffense, including but not limited to, advanced age or a debilitating illness or physical 
5.28 	condition.
5.29 	(h) Upon the request of the law enforcement agency or the offender's corrections agent, 
5.30 	the commissioner may reconvene the end-of-confinement review committee for the purpose 
6.1 	of reassessing the risk level to which an offender has been assigned under paragraph (e). In 
6.2 	a request for a reassessment, the law enforcement agency which was responsible for the 
6.3 	charge resulting in confinement or agent shall list the facts and circumstances arising after 
6.4 	the initial assignment or facts and circumstances known to law enforcement or the agent 
6.5 	but not considered by the committee under paragraph (e) which support the request for a 
6.6 	reassessment. The request for reassessment by the law enforcement agency must occur 
6.7 	within 30 days of receipt of the report indicating the offender's risk level assignment. The 
6.8 	offender's corrections agent, in consultation with the chief law enforcement officer in the 
6.9 	area where the offender resides or intends to reside, may request a review of a risk level at 
6.10 	any time if substantial evidence exists that the offender's risk level should be reviewed by 
6.11 	an end-of-confinement review committee. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, 
6.12 	evidence of treatment failures or completions, evidence of exceptional crime-free community 
6.13 	adjustment or lack of appropriate adjustment, evidence of substantial community need to 
6.14 	know more about the offender or mitigating circumstances that would narrow the proposed 
6.15 	scope of notification, or other practical situations articulated and based in evidence of the 
6.16 	offender's behavior while under supervision. Upon review of the request, the 
6.17 	end-of-confinement review committee may reassign an offender to a different risk level. If 
6.18 	the offender is reassigned to a higher risk level, the offender has the right to seek review of 
6.19 	the committee's determination under subdivision 6.
6.20 	(i) An offender may request the end-of-confinement review committee to reassess the 
6.21 	offender's assigned risk level after three years have elapsed since the committee's initial 
6.22 	risk assessment and may renew the request once every two years following subsequent 
6.23 	denials. In a request for reassessment, the offender shall list the facts and circumstances 
6.24 	which demonstrate that the offender no longer poses the same degree of risk to the 
6.25 	community. In order for a request for a risk level reduction to be granted, the offender must 
6.26 	demonstrate full compliance with supervised release conditions, completion of required 
6.27 	post-release treatment programming, and full compliance with all registration requirements 
6.28 	as detailed in section 243.166. The offender must also not have been convicted of any felony, 
6.29 	gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor offenses subsequent to the assignment of the original 
6.30 	risk level. The committee shall follow the process outlined in paragraphs (a) to (c) in the 
6.31 	reassessment. An offender who is incarcerated may not request a reassessment under this 
6.32 	paragraph.
6.33 	(j) Offenders returned to prison as release violators shall not have a right to a subsequent 
6.34 	risk reassessment by the end-of-confinement review committee unless substantial evidence 
6.35 	indicates that the offender's risk to the public has increased.
7.1 	(k) If the committee assigns a predatory offender to risk level III, the committee shall 
7.2 	determine whether residency restrictions shall be included in the conditions of the offender's 
7.3 	release based on the offender's pattern of offending behavior.

10.12 	of the reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server when the 
10.13 	sheriff or other law enforcement or corrections officer is unavailable or if service is made 
10.14 	by publication, without requiring the petitioner to make application under section 563.01.

10.15 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 3b, is amended to read:
10.16 		Subd. 3b.Information on petitioner's location or residence. (a) Upon the petitioner's 
10.17 	request, information maintained by the court regarding the petitioner's location or residence 
10.18 	is not accessible to the public and may be disclosed only to court personnel or law 
10.19 	enforcement for purposes of service of process, conducting an investigation, or enforcing 
10.20 	an order.
10.21 	(b) Upon request of the petitioner or a custodian of the petitioner's minor children, 
10.22 	information maintained by the court regarding the location or residence of the petitioner's 
10.23 	minor children is not accessible to the public and may be disclosed only to court personnel 
10.24 	or law enforcement for purposes of service of process, conducting an investigation, or 
10.25 	enforcing an order. If any custodian is a program participant as defined in section 5B.02, 
10.26 	paragraph (g), the protections, limitations, and requirements in chapter 5B apply and 
10.27 	information maintained by the court regarding the location or residence of the petitioner's 
10.28 	minor children is not accessible to the public.

10.29 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
10.30 		Subd. 4.Order for protection. There shall exist an action known as a petition for an 
10.31 	order for protection in cases of domestic abuse.
11.1 	(a) A petition for relief under this section may be made by any family or household 
11.2 	member personally or by a family or household member, a guardian as defined in section 
11.3 	524.1-201, clause (27), or, if the court finds that it is in the best interests of the minor, by 
11.4 	a reputable adult age 25 or older on behalf of minor family or household members. A minor 
11.5 	age 16 or older may make a petition on the minor's own behalf against a spouse or former 
11.6 	spouse, or a person with whom the minor has a child in common, if the court determines 
11.7 	that the minor has sufficient maturity and judgment and that it is in the best interests of the 
11.8 	minor.
11.9 	(b) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of domestic abuse, and shall be 
11.10 	accompanied by an affidavit made under oath stating the specific facts and circumstances 
11.11 	from which relief is sought.
11.12 	(c) A petition for relief must state whether the petitioner has ever had an order for 
11.13 	protection in effect against the respondent.
11.14 	(d) A petition for relief must state whether there is an existing order for protection in 
11.15 	effect under this chapter governing both the parties and whether there is a pending lawsuit, 
11.16 	complaint, petition or other action between the parties under chapter 257, 518, 518A, 518B, 
11.17 	or 518C. The court administrator shall verify the terms of any existing order governing the 
11.18 	parties. The court may not delay granting relief because of the existence of a pending action 
11.19 	between the parties or the necessity of verifying the terms of an existing order. A subsequent 
11.20 	order in a separate action under this chapter may modify only the provision of an existing 
11.21 	order that grants relief authorized under subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause (1). A petition 
11.22 	for relief may be granted, regardless of whether there is a pending action between the parties.
11.23 	(e) A petition for relief must state whether the petitioner has any minor children and, if 
11.24 	so, must provide the name of any custodian of the minor children and must identify the 
11.25 	location or residence of the custodian. If any custodian is a program participant as defined 
11.26 	in section 5B.02, paragraph (g), the location or residence of the custodian is the address 
11.27 	designated by the secretary of state as the address of the program participant. A petition 
11.28 	must not be rejected or denied for failure to identify any custodian.
11.29 	(e) (f) The court shall provide simplified forms and clerical assistance to help with the 
11.30 	writing and filing of a petition under this section.
11.31 	(f) (g) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) (f) of the right to file a 
11.32 	motion and affidavit and to sue in forma pauperis pursuant to section 563.01 and shall assist 
11.33 	with the writing and filing of the motion and affidavit.
12.1 	(g) (h) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) (f) of the right to serve 
12.2 	the respondent by published notice under subdivision 5, paragraph (b), if the respondent is 
12.3 	avoiding personal service by concealment or otherwise, and shall assist with the writing 
12.4 	and filing of the affidavit.
12.5 	(h) (i) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to seek restitution under the 
12.6 	petition for relief.
12.7 	(i) (j) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request a hearing under 
12.8 	subdivision 7, paragraph (c). If the petitioner does not request a hearing, the court shall 
12.9 	advise the petitioner that the respondent may request a hearing and that notice of the hearing 
12.10 	date and time will be provided to the petitioner and the custodian of any of the petitioner's 
12.11 	minor children by mail at least five days before the hearing.
12.12 	(j) (k) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request supervised parenting 
12.13 	time, as provided in section 518.175, subdivision 1a.

12.14 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
12.15 		Subd. 5.Hearing on application; notice. (a) Upon receipt of the petition, the court 
12.16 	shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than 14 days from the date of the order 
12.17 	for hearing unless an ex parte order is issued.
12.18 	(b) If an ex parte order has been issued under subdivision 7 and the petitioner seeks only 
12.19 	the relief under subdivision 7, paragraph (a), a hearing is not required unless:
12.20 	(1) the court declines to order the requested relief; or
12.21 	(2) one of the parties requests a hearing.
12.22 	(c) If an ex parte order has been issued under subdivision 7 and the petitioner seeks relief 
12.23 	beyond that specified in subdivision 7, paragraph (a), or if the court declines to order relief 
12.24 	requested by the petitioner, a hearing must be held within seven days. Personal service of 
12.25 	the ex parte order may be made upon the respondent and any custodian at any time up to 
12.26 	12 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, provided that the respondent at the hearing 
12.27 	may request a continuance of up to five days if served fewer than five days prior to the 
12.28 	hearing which continuance shall be granted unless there are compelling reasons not to.
12.29 	(d) If an ex parte order has been issued only granting relief under subdivision 7, paragraph 
12.30 	(a), and the respondent requests a hearing, the hearing shall be held within ten days of the 
12.31 	court's receipt of the respondent's request. Service of the notice of hearing must be made 
12.32 	upon the petitioner and any custodian not less than five days prior to the hearing. The court 
13.1 	shall serve the notice of hearing upon the petitioner and any custodian by mail in the manner 
13.2 	provided in the Rules of Civil Procedure for pleadings subsequent to a complaint and motions 
13.3 	and shall also mail notice of the date and time of the hearing to the respondent. In the event 
13.4 	that service cannot be completed in time to give the respondent or, petitioner, or any custodian
13.5 	the minimum notice required under this subdivision, the court may set a new hearing date 
13.6 	no more than five days later.
13.7 	(e) If for good cause shown either party is unable to proceed at the initial hearing and 
13.8 	requests a continuance and the court finds that a continuance is appropriate, the hearing 
13.9 	may be continued. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and approved by the court, the 
13.10 	continuance shall be for no more than five days. If the court grants the requested continuance, 
13.11 	the court shall also issue a written order continuing all provisions of the ex parte order 
13.12 	pending the issuance of an order after the hearing.
13.13 	(f) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subdivision, service on the respondent 
13.14 	may be made by one week published notice, as provided under section 645.11, provided 
13.15 	the petitioner files with the court an affidavit stating that an attempt at personal service 
13.16 	made by a sheriff or other law enforcement or corrections officer was unsuccessful because 
13.17 	the respondent is avoiding service by concealment or otherwise, and that a copy of the 
13.18 	petition and notice of hearing has been mailed to the respondent at the respondent's residence 
13.19 	or that the residence is not known to the petitioner. Service under this paragraph is complete 
13.20 	seven days after publication. The court shall set a new hearing date if necessary to allow 
13.21 	the respondent the five-day minimum notice required under paragraph (d).

13.22 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 6a, is amended to read:
13.23 		Subd. 6a.Subsequent orders and extensions. (a) Upon application, notice to all parties, 
13.24 	notice to any custodian, and hearing, the court may extend the relief granted in an existing 
13.25 	order for protection or, if a petitioner's order for protection is no longer in effect when an 
13.26 	application for subsequent relief is made, grant a new order. If the petitioner seeks only the 
13.27 	relief under subdivision 7, paragraph (a), a hearing is not required unless the court declines 
13.28 	to order the requested relief or the respondent requests a hearing. If a hearing is required, 
13.29 	subdivisions 5 and 7 apply to service of the application, notice to the parties and any 
13.30 	custodian, and time for the hearing.
13.31 	(b) The court may extend the terms of an existing order or, if an order is no longer in 
13.32 	effect, grant a new order upon a showing that:
13.33 	(1) the respondent has violated a prior or existing order for protection;
14.1 	(2) the petitioner is reasonably in fear of physical harm from the respondent;
14.2 	(3) the respondent has engaged in the act of harassment within the meaning of section 
14.3 	609.749, subdivision 2; or
14.4 	(4) the respondent is incarcerated and about to be released, or has recently been released 
14.5 	from incarceration.
14.6 	A petitioner does not need to show that physical harm is imminent to obtain an extension 
14.7 	or a subsequent order under this subdivision.
14.8 	(c) Relief granted by the order for protection may be for a period of up to 50 years, if 
14.9 	the court finds:
14.10 	(1) the respondent has violated a prior or existing order for protection on two or more 
14.11 	occasions; or
14.12 	(2) the petitioner has had two or more orders for protection in effect against the same 
14.13 	respondent.
14.14 	An order issued under this paragraph may restrain the abusing party from committing 
14.15 	acts of domestic abuse; or prohibit the abusing party from having any contact with the 
14.16 	petitioner, whether in person, by telephone, mail or electronic mail or messaging, through 
14.17 	electronic devices, through a third party, or by any other means.

14.18 	Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
14.19 		Subd. 7.Ex parte order. (a) Where an application under this section alleges an immediate 
14.20 	and present danger of domestic abuse, the court may grant an ex parte order for protection 
14.21 	and granting relief as the court deems proper, including an order:
14.22 	(1) restraining the abusing party from committing acts of domestic abuse;
14.23 	(2) excluding any party from the dwelling they share or from the residence of the other, 
14.24 	including a reasonable area surrounding the dwelling or residence, which area shall be 
14.25 	described specifically in the order, except by further order of the court;
14.26 	(3) excluding the abusing party from the place of employment of the petitioner or 
14.27 	otherwise limiting access to the petitioner by the abusing party at the petitioner's place of 
14.28 	employment;
14.29 	(4) ordering the abusing party to have no contact with the petitioner whether in person, 
14.30 	by telephone, mail, email, through electronic devices, or through a third party;
15.1 	(5) continuing all currently available insurance coverage without change in coverage or 
15.2 	beneficiary designation;
15.3 	(6) directing the care, possession, or control of a pet or companion animal owned, 
15.4 	possessed, or kept by a party or a child of a party; and
15.5 	(7) directing the respondent to refrain from physically abusing or injuring any pet or 
15.6 	companion animal, without legal justification, known to be owned, possessed, kept, or held 
15.7 	by either party or a minor child residing in the residence or household of either party as an 
15.8 	indirect means of intentionally threatening the safety of such person.
15.9 	(b) A finding by the court that there is a basis for issuing an ex parte order for protection 
15.10 	constitutes a finding that sufficient reasons exist not to require notice under applicable court 
15.11 	rules governing applications for ex parte relief.
15.12 	(c) Subject to paragraph (d), an ex parte order for protection shall be effective for a fixed 
15.13 	period set by the court, as provided in subdivision 6, paragraph (b), or until modified or 
15.14 	vacated by the court pursuant to a hearing. When signed by a referee, the ex parte order 
15.15 	becomes effective upon the referee's signature. Upon request, a hearing, as provided by this 
15.16 	section, shall be set. Except as provided in paragraph (d), the respondent shall be personally 
15.17 	served forthwith a copy of the ex parte order along with a copy of the petition and, if 
15.18 	requested by the petitioner, notice of the date set for the hearing. Any custodian must be 
15.19 	served with a copy of the ex parte order. Service on a custodian may be made by personal 
15.20 	service or by certified mail. If the petitioner does not request a hearing, an order served on 
15.21 	a respondent under this subdivision must include a notice advising the respondent of the 
15.22 	right to request a hearing, must be accompanied by a form that can be used by the respondent 
15.23 	to request a hearing and must include a conspicuous notice that a hearing will not be held 
15.24 	unless requested by the respondent within five days of service of the order.
15.25 	(d) Service of the ex parte order on the respondent may be made by published notice, 
15.26 	as provided under subdivision 5, provided that the petitioner files the affidavit required 
15.27 	under that subdivision. If personal service is not made or the affidavit is not filed within 14 
15.28 	days of issuance of the ex parte order, the order expires. If the petitioner does not request 
15.29 	a hearing, the petition mailed to the respondent's residence, if known, must be accompanied 
15.30 	by the form for requesting a hearing and notice described in paragraph (c). Unless personal 
15.31 	service is completed, if service by published notice is not completed within 28 days of 
15.32 	issuance of the ex parte order, the order expires. Notice that an order has expired under this 
15.33 	paragraph must be sent to any custodian.
16.1 	(e) If the petitioner seeks relief under subdivision 6 other than the relief described in 
16.2 	paragraph (a), the petitioner must request a hearing to obtain the additional relief.
16.3 	(f) Nothing in this subdivision affects the right of a party to seek modification of an 
16.4 	order under subdivision 11.

16.5 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
16.6 		Subd. 8.Service; alternate service; publication; notice. (a) The petition and any order 
16.7 	issued under this section other than orders for dismissal shall be served on the respondent 
16.8 	personally, or if the respondent appears remotely for a hearing and is notified at the hearing 
16.9 	by the judicial officer that an order for protection will be issued, the order may be served 
16.10 	on the respondent electronically or by first class mail, as ordered by the court. Orders for 
16.11 	dismissal may be served on the respondent personally or by certified mail. In lieu of personal 
16.12 	service of an order for protection, a law enforcement officer may serve a person respondent
16.13 	with a short-form notification as provided in subdivision 8a. The petition and any order 
16.14 	issued under this section may be served on any custodian personally or by certified mail.
16.15 	(b) When service is made out of this state and in the United States, it may be proved by 
16.16 	the affidavit of the person making the service. When service is made outside the United 
16.17 	States, it may be proved by the affidavit of the person making the service, taken before and 
16.18 	certified by any United States minister, charge d'affaires, commissioner, consul, or 
16.19 	commercial agent, or other consular or diplomatic officer of the United States appointed to 
16.20 	reside in the other country, including all deputies or other representatives of the officer 
16.21 	authorized to perform their duties; or before an office authorized to administer an oath with 
16.22 	the certificate of an officer of a court of record of the country in which the affidavit is taken 
16.23 	as to the identity and authority of the officer taking the affidavit.
16.24 	(c) If personal service cannot be made on a respondent, the court may order service of 
16.25 	the petition and any order issued under this section by alternate means, or by publication, 
16.26 	which publication must be made as in other actions. The application for alternate service 
16.27 	must include the last known location of the respondent; the petitioner's most recent contacts 
16.28 	with the respondent; the last known location of the respondent's employment; the names 
16.29 	and locations of the respondent's parents, siblings, children, and other close relatives; the 
16.30 	names and locations of other persons who are likely to know the respondent's whereabouts; 
16.31 	and a description of efforts to locate those persons.
16.32 	The court shall consider the length of time the respondent's location has been unknown, 
16.33 	the likelihood that the respondent's location will become known, the nature of the relief 
16.34 	sought, and the nature of efforts made to locate the respondent. The court shall order service 
17.1 	by first class mail, forwarding address requested, to any addresses where there is a reasonable 
17.2 	possibility that mail or information will be forwarded or communicated to the respondent.
17.3 	The court may also order publication, within or without the state, but only if it might 
17.4 	reasonably succeed in notifying the respondent of the proceeding. Service shall be deemed 
17.5 	complete 14 days after mailing or 14 days after court-ordered publication.
17.6 	(d) A petition and any order issued under this section, including the short-form 
17.7 	notification, must include a notice to the respondent that if an order for protection is issued 
17.8 	to protect the petitioner or a child of the parties, upon request of the petitioner in any 
17.9 	parenting time proceeding, the court shall consider the order for protection in making a 
17.10 	decision regarding parenting time.

17.11 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 8a, is amended to read:
17.12 		Subd. 8a.Short-form notification. (a) In lieu of personal service of an order for 
17.13 	protection under subdivision 8, a law enforcement officer may serve a person respondent
17.14 	with a short-form notification. The short-form notification must include the following 
17.15 	clauses: the respondent's name; the respondent's date of birth, if known; the petitioner's 
17.16 	name; the names of other protected parties; the date and county in which the ex parte order 
17.17 	for protection or order for protection was filed; the court file number; the hearing date and 
17.18 	time, if known; the conditions that apply to the respondent, either in checklist form or 
17.19 	handwritten; and the name of the judge who signed the order.
17.20 	The short-form notification must be in bold print in the following form:
17.21 	The order for protection is now enforceable. You must report to your nearest sheriff 
17.22 	office or county court to obtain a copy of the order for protection. You are subject to arrest 
17.23 	and may be charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony if you violate any 
17.24 	of the terms of the order for protection or this short-form notification.
17.25 	(b) Upon verification of the identity of the respondent and the existence of an unserved 
17.26 	order for protection against the respondent, a law enforcement officer may detain the 
17.27 	respondent for a reasonable time necessary to complete and serve the short-form notification.
17.28 	(c) When service is made by short-form notification, it may be proved by the affidavit 
17.29 	of the law enforcement officer making the service.
17.30 	(d) For service under this section only, service upon an individual may occur at any 
17.31 	time, including Sundays, and legal holidays.
18.1 	(e) The superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall provide the short 
18.2 	form to law enforcement agencies.
18.3 	(f) This section does not apply to service of an order for protection on any custodian.

18.4 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 9, is amended to read:
18.5 		Subd. 9.Assistance of sheriff in service or execution; possession of dwelling or 
18.6 	residence. When an order is issued under this section upon request of the petitioner, the 
18.7 	court shall order the sheriff to accompany the petitioner and assist in placing the petitioner 
18.8 	in possession of the dwelling or residence, or otherwise assist in execution or service of the 
18.9 	order of protection. If the application for relief is brought in a county in which the respondent 
18.10 	is not present, the sheriff shall forward the pleadings necessary for service upon the 
18.11 	respondent to the sheriff of the county in which the respondent is present. This transmittal 
18.12 	must be expedited to allow for timely service.

18.13 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 9a, is amended to read:
18.14 		Subd. 9a.Personal service by others; procedures; cost; reasonable efforts and

18.16 	must comply with subdivision 8 and rule 4.03 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
18.17 	(b) Upon request of the petitioner or order of the court, the sheriff of any county in this 
18.18 	state in which a respondent resides or is present must execute or serve any petition, ex parte 
18.19 	order, notice of hearing, order for protection, and any other order of a court on the respondent. 
18.20 	If the application for relief is brought in a county in which the respondent is not present, 
18.21 	the sheriff of the county where the application for relief was brought shall forward the 
18.22 	pleadings necessary for service upon the respondent to the sheriff of the county in which 
18.23 	the respondent is present. This transmittal must be expedited to allow for timely service.
18.24 	(c) Peace officers licensed by the state of Minnesota and corrections officers, including, 
18.25 	but not limited to, probation officers, court services officers, parole officers, and employees 
18.26 	of jails or correctional facilities, may serve an order for protection on a respondent or any 
18.27 	custodian and must, to the extent possible, provide any sheriff, law enforcement officer, or 
18.28 	other peace officer attempting to effectuate service with relevant information regarding 
18.29 	where a respondent may be found, such as the respondent's residence, the respondent's place 
18.30 	of employment or schooling, or other locations frequented by the respondent.
18.31 	(d) The court administrator, the sheriff of any county in this state, and any other law 
18.32 	enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer shall perform the duties relating 
19.1 	to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct payment of the 
19.2 	reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server when the sheriff 
19.3 	or other law enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer is unavailable or if 
19.4 	service is made by publication, without requiring the petitioner to make application under

19.10 	officer, or other peace officer has access, provided the data is classified as public data on 
19.11 	individuals as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 15, or is otherwise available to criminal 
19.12 	justice agencies, as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3a; and

19.19 	conditional release agent, or parole officer.

19.20 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 11, is amended to read:
19.21 		Subd. 11.Modifying or vacating order. (a) Upon application, notice to all parties, 
19.22 	notice to any custodian, and hearing, the court may modify the terms of an existing order 
19.23 	for protection.
19.24 	(b) If the court orders relief under subdivision 6a, paragraph (c), the respondent named 
19.25 	in the order for protection may request to have the order vacated or modified if the order 
19.26 	has been in effect for at least five years and the respondent has not violated the order during 
19.27 	that time. Application for relief under this subdivision must be made in the county in which 
19.28 	the order for protection was issued. Upon receipt of the request, the court shall set a hearing 
19.29 	date. Personal service must be made upon the petitioner named in the order for protection 
19.30 	not less than 30 days before the date of the hearing. Notice of the request and hearing may 
19.31 	be made on any custodian personally or by certified mail. At the hearing, the respondent 
19.32 	named in the order for protection has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the 
19.33 	evidence that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the reasons upon 
20.1 	which the court relied in granting or extending the order for protection no longer apply and 
20.2 	are unlikely to occur. If the court finds that the respondent named in the order for protection 
20.3 	has met the burden of proof, the court may vacate or modify the order. If the court finds 
20.4 	that the respondent named in the order for protection has not met the burden of proof, the 
20.5 	court shall deny the request and no request may be made to vacate or modify the order for 
20.6 	protection until five years have elapsed from the date of denial. An order vacated or modified 
20.7 	under this paragraph must be personally served on the petitioner named in the order for 
20.8 	protection and may be served on any custodian personally or by certified mail.

20.9 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, is amended by adding a subdivision 
20.10 	to read:
20.11 		Subd. 11a.Notice to custodian; Safe at Home participants; failure not a bar to 
20.12 	enforcement. (a) A custodian who is a program participant as defined in section 5B.02, 
20.13 	paragraph (g), may direct the court to use the address designated by the secretary of state 
20.14 	as the address of the program participant. Section 5B.03, subdivision 1, clause (3), applies 
20.15 	to service of any notice, order, or other document required to be served under this section. 
20.16 	The protections, limitations, and requirements in chapter 5B apply to any information 
20.17 	regarding a custodian who is a program participant.
20.18 	(b) Failure to serve a custodian with a petition, order for protection, dismissal, or any 
20.19 	other order must not prevent any order from taking effect or otherwise invalidate any order 
20.20 	issued pursuant to this section. In the event that service of a notice of a hearing is not 
20.21 	completed on any custodian at least 24 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, the court 
20.22 	may set a new hearing date no more than five days later.

20.23 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 595.02, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
20.24 		Subdivision 1.Competency of witnesses. Every person of sufficient understanding, 
20.25 	including a party, may testify in any action or proceeding, civil or criminal, in court or 
20.26 	before any person who has authority to receive evidence, except as provided in this 
20.27 	subdivision:
20.28 	(a) A husband cannot be examined for or against his wife without her consent, nor a 
20.29 	wife for or against her husband without his consent, nor can either, during the marriage or 
20.30 	afterwards, without the consent of the other, be examined as to any communication made 
20.31 	by one to the other during the marriage. This exception does not apply to a civil action or 
20.32 	proceeding by one against the other, nor to a criminal action or proceeding for a crime 
20.33 	committed by one against the other or against a child of either or against a child under the 
21.1 	care of either spouse, nor to a criminal action or proceeding in which one is charged with 
21.2 	homicide or an attempt to commit homicide and the date of the marriage of the defendant 
21.3 	is subsequent to the date of the offense, nor to an action or proceeding for nonsupport, 
21.4 	neglect, dependency, or termination of parental rights.
21.5 	(b) An attorney cannot, without the consent of the attorney's client, be examined as to 
21.6 	any communication made by the client to the attorney or the attorney's advice given thereon 
21.7 	in the course of professional duty; nor can any employee of the attorney be examined as to 
21.8 	the communication or advice, without the client's consent.
21.9 	(c) A member of the clergy or other minister of any religion shall not, without the consent 
21.10 	of the party making the confession, be allowed to disclose a confession made to the member 
21.11 	of the clergy or other minister in a professional character, in the course of discipline enjoined 
21.12 	by the rules or practice of the religious body to which the member of the clergy or other 
21.13 	minister belongs; nor shall a member of the clergy or other minister of any religion be 
21.14 	examined as to any communication made to the member of the clergy or other minister by 
21.15 	any person seeking religious or spiritual advice, aid, or comfort or advice given thereon in 
21.16 	the course of the member of the clergy's or other minister's professional character, without 
21.17 	the consent of the person.
21.18 	(d) A licensed physician or surgeon, dentist, or chiropractor shall not, without the consent 
21.19 	of the patient, be allowed to disclose any information or any opinion based thereon which 
21.20 	the professional acquired in attending the patient in a professional capacity, and which was 
21.21 	necessary to enable the professional to act in that capacity; after the decease of the patient, 
21.22 	in an action to recover insurance benefits, where the insurance has been in existence two 
21.23 	years or more, the beneficiaries shall be deemed to be the personal representatives of the 
21.24 	deceased person for the purpose of waiving this privilege, and no oral or written waiver of 
21.25 	the privilege shall have any binding force or effect except when made upon the trial or 
21.26 	examination where the evidence is offered or received.
21.27 	(e) A public officer shall not be allowed to disclose communications made to the officer 
21.28 	in official confidence when the public interest would suffer by the disclosure.
21.29 	(f) Persons of unsound mind and persons intoxicated at the time of their production for 
21.30 	examination are not competent witnesses if they lack capacity to remember or to relate 
21.31 	truthfully facts respecting which they are examined.
21.32 	(g) A registered nurse, psychologist, consulting psychologist, or licensed social worker 
21.33 	engaged in a psychological or social assessment or treatment of an individual at the 
21.34 	individual's request shall not, without the consent of the professional's client, be allowed to 
22.1 	disclose any information or opinion based thereon which the professional has acquired in 
22.2 	attending the client in a professional capacity, and which was necessary to enable the 
22.3 	professional to act in that capacity. Nothing in this clause exempts licensed social workers 
22.4 	from compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
22.5 	(h) An interpreter for a person disabled in communication shall not, without the consent 
22.6 	of the person, be allowed to disclose any communication if the communication would, if 
22.7 	the interpreter were not present, be privileged. For purposes of this section, a "person disabled 
22.8 	in communication" means a person who, because of a hearing, speech or other communication 
22.9 	disorder, or because of the inability to speak or comprehend the English language, is unable 
22.10 	to understand the proceedings in which the person is required to participate. The presence 
22.11 	of an interpreter as an aid to communication does not destroy an otherwise existing privilege.
22.12 	(i) Licensed chemical dependency counselors shall not disclose information or an opinion 
22.13 	based on the information which they acquire from persons consulting them in their 
22.14 	professional capacities, and which was necessary to enable them to act in that capacity, 
22.15 	except that they may do so:
22.16 	(1) when informed consent has been obtained in writing, except in those circumstances 
22.17 	in which not to do so would violate the law or would result in clear and imminent danger 
22.18 	to the client or others;
22.19 	(2) when the communications reveal the contemplation or ongoing commission of a 
22.20 	crime; or
22.21 	(3) when the consulting person waives the privilege by bringing suit or filing charges 
22.22 	against the licensed professional whom that person consulted.
22.23 	(j) A parent or the parent's minor child may not be examined as to any communication 
22.24 	made in confidence by the minor to the minor's parent. A communication is confidential if 
22.25 	made out of the presence of persons not members of the child's immediate family living in 
22.26 	the same household. This exception may be waived by express consent to disclosure by a 
22.27 	parent entitled to claim the privilege or by the child who made the communication or by 
22.28 	failure of the child or parent to object when the contents of a communication are demanded. 
22.29 	This exception does not apply to a civil action or proceeding by one spouse against the other 
22.30 	or by a parent or child against the other, nor to a proceeding to commit either the child or 
22.31 	parent to whom the communication was made or to place the person or property or either 
22.32 	under the control of another because of an alleged mental or physical condition, nor to a 
22.33 	criminal action or proceeding in which the parent is charged with a crime committed against 
22.34 	the person or property of the communicating child, the parent's spouse, or a child of either 
23.1 	the parent or the parent's spouse, or in which a child is charged with a crime or act of 
23.2 	delinquency committed against the person or property of a parent or a child of a parent, nor 
23.3 	to an action or proceeding for termination of parental rights, nor any other action or 
23.4 	proceeding on a petition alleging child abuse, child neglect, abandonment or nonsupport 
23.5 	by a parent.
23.6 	(k) Sexual assault counselors may not be allowed to disclose any opinion or information 
23.7 	received from or about the victim without the consent of the victim. However, a counselor 
23.8 	may be compelled to identify or disclose information in investigations or proceedings related 
23.9 	to neglect or termination of parental rights if the court determines good cause exists. In 
23.10 	determining whether to compel disclosure, the court shall weigh the public interest and need 
23.11 	for disclosure against the effect on the victim, the treatment relationship, and the treatment 
23.12 	services if disclosure occurs. Nothing in this clause exempts sexual assault counselors from 
23.13 	compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
23.14 	"Sexual assault counselor" for the purpose of this section means a person who has 
23.15 	undergone at least 40 hours of crisis counseling training and works under the direction of 
23.16 	a supervisor in a crisis center, whose primary purpose is to render advice, counseling, or 
23.17 	assistance to victims of sexual assault.
23.18 	(l) A domestic abuse advocate may shall not, without the consent of the victim, be 
23.19 	compelled allowed to disclose any opinion or information received from or about the victim 
23.20 	without the consent of the victim unless ordered by the court which the advocate acquired 
23.21 	in attending the victim in a professional capacity. In determining whether to compel 
23.22 	disclosure, the court shall weigh the public interest and need for disclosure against the effect 
23.23 	on the victim, the relationship between the victim and domestic abuse advocate, and the 
23.24 	services if disclosure occurs. Nothing in this paragraph exempts domestic abuse advocates 
23.25 	from compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
23.26 	For the purposes of this section, "domestic abuse advocate" means an employee or 
23.27 	supervised volunteer from a community-based battered women's shelter and domestic abuse 
23.28 	program eligible to receive grants under section 611A.32; that provides information, 
23.29 	advocacy, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, or support to victims of domestic abuse 
23.30 	and who is not employed by or under the direct supervision of a law enforcement agency, 
23.31 	a prosecutor's office, or by a city, county, or state agency.
23.32 	(m) A person cannot be examined as to any communication or document, including 
23.33 	work notes, made or used in the course of or because of mediation pursuant to an agreement 
23.34 	to mediate or a collaborative law process pursuant to an agreement to participate in 
24.1 	collaborative law. This does not apply to the parties in the dispute in an application to a 
24.2 	court by a party to have a mediated settlement agreement or a stipulated agreement resulting 
24.3 	from the collaborative law process set aside or reformed. A communication or document 
24.4 	otherwise not privileged does not become privileged because of this paragraph. This 
24.5 	paragraph is not intended to limit the privilege accorded to communication during mediation 
24.6 	or collaborative law by the common law.
24.7 	(n) A child under ten years of age is a competent witness unless the court finds that the 
24.8 	child lacks the capacity to remember or to relate truthfully facts respecting which the child 
24.9 	is examined. A child describing any act or event may use language appropriate for a child 
24.10 	of that age.
24.11 	(o) A communication assistant for a telecommunications relay system for persons who 
24.12 	have communication disabilities shall not, without the consent of the person making the 
24.13 	communication, be allowed to disclose communications made to the communication assistant 
24.14 	for the purpose of relaying.

24.15 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2024.

24.16 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 609.35, is amended to read:
24.17 	609.35 COSTS OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
24.18 	(a) Costs incurred by a hospital or other emergency medical facility or by a physician, 
24.19 	sexual assault nurse examiner, forensic nurse, or other licensed health care provider for the 
24.20 	examination of a victim of criminal sexual conduct that occurred in the state shall be paid 
24.21 	by the state. These costs include, but are not limited to, the cost of the medical forensic 
24.22 	examination, associated tests and treatments relating to sexually transmitted infection, and 
24.23 	pregnancy status, including emergency contraception. A hospital, emergency medical facility, 
24.24 	or health care provider shall submit the costs for examination and any associated tests and 
24.25 	treatment to the Office of Justice Programs for payment. Upon receipt of the costs, the 
24.26 	commissioner shall provide payment to the facility or health care provider. Reimbursement 
24.27 	for an examination and any associated test and treatments shall not exceed $1,400. Beginning 
24.28 	on January 1, 2024, the maximum amount of an award shall be adjusted annually by the 
24.29 	inflation rate.
24.30 	(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the duties, responsibilities, or 
24.31 	liabilities of any insurer, whether public or private. The hospital or other licensed health 
24.32 	care provider performing the examination may seek insurance reimbursement from the 
24.33 	victim's insurer only if authorized by the victim. This authorization may only be sought 
25.1 	after the examination is performed. When seeking this authorization, the hospital or other 
25.2 	licensed health care provider shall inform the victim that if the victim does not authorize 
25.3 	this, the state is required by law to pay for the examination and that the victim is in no way 
25.4 	liable for these costs or obligated to authorize the reimbursement.
25.5 	(c) The applicability of this section does not depend upon whether the victim reports 
25.6 	the offense to law enforcement or the existence or status of any investigation or prosecution.
25.7 	(d) Requests for reimbursement and supporting documents are private data on individuals 
25.8 	as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 12.

25.9 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment and 
25.10 	applies to data requests received before that date if the responsible authority has not yet 
25.11 	provided a response.

25.12 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 3a, is amended to read:
25.13 		Subd. 3a.Filing fee; cost of service. The filing fees for a restraining order under this 
25.14 	section are waived for the petitioner and the respondent if the petition alleges acts that would 
25.15 	constitute a violation of section 609.749, subdivision 2, 3, 4, or 5, or sections 609.342 to 
25.16 	609.3451. The court administrator and any peace officer in this state shall perform their 
25.17 	duties relating to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct 
25.18 	payment of the reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server 
25.19 	when a peace officer is unavailable or if service is made by publication.

25.20 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
25.21 		Subd. 5.Restraining order. (a) The court may issue a restraining order that provides 
25.22 	any or all of the following:
25.23 	(1) orders the respondent to cease or avoid the harassment of another person; or
25.24 	(2) orders the respondent to have no contact with another person.
25.25 	(b) The court may issue an order under paragraph (a) if all of the following occur:
25.26 	(1) the petitioner has filed a petition under subdivision 3;
25.27 	(2) a peace officer has served respondent with a copy of the temporary restraining order 
25.28 	obtained under subdivision 4, and with notice of the right to request a hearing, or service 
25.29 	has been made by publication under subdivision 3, paragraph (b); and
25.30 	(3) the court finds at the hearing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the 
25.31 	respondent has engaged in harassment.
26.1 	A restraining order may be issued only against the respondent named in the petition; except 
26.2 	that if the respondent is an organization, the order may be issued against and apply to all of 
26.3 	the members of the organization. If the court finds that the petitioner has had two or more 
26.4 	previous restraining orders in effect against the same respondent or the respondent has 
26.5 	violated a prior or existing restraining order on two or more occasions, relief granted by the 
26.6 	restraining order may be for a period of up to 50 years. In all other cases, relief granted by 
26.7 	the restraining order must be for a fixed period of not more than two years. When a referee 
26.8 	presides at the hearing on the petition, the restraining order becomes effective upon the 
26.9 	referee's signature.
26.10 	(c) An order issued under this subdivision must be personally served upon the respondent, 
26.11 	or if the respondent appears remotely for a hearing and is notified at the hearing by the 
26.12 	judicial officer that a restraining order will be issued, the order may be served on the 
26.13 	respondent electronically or by first class mail, as ordered by the court.
26.14 	(d) If the court orders relief for a period of up to 50 years under paragraph (a), the 
26.15 	respondent named in the restraining order may request to have the restraining order vacated 
26.16 	or modified if the order has been in effect for at least five years and the respondent has not 
26.17 	violated the order. Application for relief under this paragraph must be made in the county 
26.18 	in which the restraining order was issued. Upon receipt of the request, the court shall set a 
26.19 	hearing date. Personal service must be made upon the petitioner named in the restraining 
26.20 	order not less than 30 days before the date of the hearing. At the hearing, the respondent 
26.21 	named in the restraining order has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence 
26.22 	that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the reasons upon which the 
26.23 	court relied in granting the restraining order no longer apply and are unlikely to occur. If 
26.24 	the court finds that the respondent named in the restraining order has met the burden of 
26.25 	proof, the court may vacate or modify the order. If the court finds that the respondent named 
26.26 	in the restraining order has not met the burden of proof, the court shall deny the request and 
26.27 	no request may be made to vacate or modify the restraining order until five years have 
26.28 	elapsed from the date of denial. An order vacated or modified under this paragraph must 
26.29 	be personally served on the petitioner named in the restraining order.

26.30 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 5b, is amended to read:
26.31 		Subd. 5b.Personal service by others; procedures; cost; reasonable efforts and 
26.32 	cooperation required. (a) Where personal service is required under this section, service 
26.33 	must comply with rule 4.03 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
27.1 	(b) In addition to peace officers, corrections officers, including but not limited to 
27.2 	probation officers, court services officers, parole officers, and employees of jails or 
27.3 	correctional facilities, may serve a temporary restraining order or restraining order and must, 
27.4 	to the extent possible, provide any sheriff, law enforcement officer, or other peace officer 
27.5 	attempting to effectuate service with relevant information regarding where a respondent 
27.6 	may be found, such as the respondent's residence, the respondent's place of employment or 
27.7 	schooling, or other locations frequented by the respondent.
27.8 	(c) The court administrator and any peace officer in this state shall perform their duties 
27.9 	relating to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct payment 
27.10 	of the reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server when a 
27.11 	peace officer is unavailable or if service is made by publication.
27.12 	(d) A sheriff, law enforcement officer, or any other peace officer must make reasonable 
27.13 	efforts to locate a respondent to effectuate service. Reasonable efforts may include:
27.14 	(1) a search of any information that is publicly available;
27.15 	(2) a search of any government data in a database to which the sheriff, law enforcement 
27.16 	officer, or other peace officer has access, provided the data is classified as public data on 
27.17 	individuals as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 15, or is otherwise available to criminal 
27.18 	justice agencies, as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3a; and
27.19 	(3) communication with any court administrator, the sheriff of any county in this state, 
27.20 	and any other law enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer.
27.21 	(e) A sheriff, law enforcement officer, or any other peace officer who serves a respondent 
27.22 	who the sheriff or officer knows is on supervised probation or supervised release with a 
27.23 	temporary restraining order, restraining order, or short-form notification must provide a 
27.24 	copy of the served order or notification to the respondent's probation officer, supervised 
27.25 	release or conditional release agent, or parole officer.

27.26 	Sec. 23. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, is amended by adding a subdivision 
27.27 	to read:
27.28 		Subd. 5c.Dismissals. Orders for dismissal of a temporary restraining order or a 
27.29 	restraining order may be served personally or by certified mail.

28.6 	to provide to each affected crime victim oral or written notice of the final disposition of the 
28.7 	case and of the victim rights under section 611A.06. When the court is considering modifying 
28.8 	the sentence for a felony or a crime of violence or an attempted crime of violence, the 
28.9 	prosecutor shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to notify the victim of the crime. 
28.10 	If the victim is incapacitated or deceased, notice must be given to the victim's family. If the 
28.11 	victim is a minor, notice must be given to the victim's parent or guardian. The notice must 
28.12 	include:
28.13 	(1) the date and approximate time of the review;
28.14 	(2) the location where the review will occur;
28.15 	(3) the name and telephone number of a person to contact for additional information; 
28.16 	and
28.17 	(4) a statement that the victim and victim's family may provide input to the court 
28.18 	concerning the sentence modification.
28.19 	(b) The Office of Justice Programs in the Department of Public Safety shall develop and 
28.20 	update a model notice of postconviction rights under this subdivision and section 611A.06.

48.26 	employed by the railroad. The chief law enforcement officer of a railroad company must 
48.27 	be a Minnesota-licensed peace officer. Before appointing a railroad chief law enforcement 
48.28 	officer, the railroad must submit a request for license for a license-eligible applicant, or a 
48.29 	notice of appointment for an officer already licensed in Minnesota, to the Board of Peace 
48.30 	Officer Standards and Training attesting that the appointee has met all education, training, 
48.31 	and minimum selection standards in Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700. The appointee may 
48.32 	not exercise peace officer powers until the request for license or notification form is received 
48.33 	and approved by the board.
49.1 		Subd. 2.Railroad; employment of peace officers. After appointing a railroad chief 
49.2 	law enforcement officer, a railroad may employ railroad peace officers to aid and supplement 
49.3 	law enforcement agencies in the protection of property owned by or in the care, custody, 
49.4 	or control of a railroad and to protect the persons and property of railroad passengers and 
49.5 	employees.
49.6 		Subd. 3.Responsibilities of railroad company. A railroad company that employs 
49.7 	railroad peace officers must cooperate with the Board of Peace Officer Standards and 
49.8 	Training with respect to the board's authority to oversee peace officer licensing. Upon 
49.9 	request by the board, a railroad company that employs railroad peace officers must share 
49.10 	or produce any public, private, or confidential data that the board has the authority to request 
49.11 	from other state and local law enforcement agencies. Failure by the railroad company to

49.15 	enforcement officer has the same duties and responsibilities as the chief law enforcement

49.17 	and supervising peace officers, ensuring ongoing continuing education of peace officers, 
49.18 	maintaining agency and peace officer records, reporting misconduct and policy compliance,

49.22 	railroad peace officer has all powers and privileges of a licensed peace officer in this state 
49.23 	in connection with the prevention, investigation, arrest, or prosecution of an offense occurring 
49.24 	on railroad property and involving injury to passengers or employees of a railroad or 
49.25 	involving an offense against property owned by or in the care, custody, or control of a 
49.26 	railroad. A railroad peace officer's law enforcement powers shall apply only on railroad 
49.27 	property, except that an officer may exercise the authority given to peace officers under 
49.28 	section 629.40, subdivisions 2 and 4. If a search warrant is obtained by a railroad peace 
49.29 	officer, the officer shall notify the chief of police of an organized full-time police department 
49.30 	of the municipality or, if there is no local chief of police, the sheriff or a deputy sheriff of 
49.31 	the county in which service of the warrant is to be made, prior to execution.
49.32 	(b) A railroad must not direct, require, or allow a railroad peace officer to enforce a 
49.33 	railroad's rules, policies, or procedures that are unrelated to the commission of a criminal 
49.34 	offense, or investigate any matter involving civil litigation by or against a railroad. A railroad 
49.35 	company that employs railroad peace officers must adopt or update any applicable policy 
50.1 	to be consistent with this paragraph and must provide a copy of the policy to the 
50.2 	representatives of any labor organization that represents employees of the railroad, including 
50.3 	but not limited to any labor organization subject to the Federal Railway Labor Act. 
50.4 	Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a railroad peace officer who makes a representation 
50.5 	of being a peace officer and performs or attempts to perform any of those acts is subject to 
50.6 	discipline as if the peace officer violated the standards of conduct set forth in Minnesota 
50.7 	Rules, chapter 6700.
50.8 		Subd. 6.Licensing. The Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training shall license 
50.9 	railroad peace officers appointed by the railroad's chief law enforcement officer under 
50.10 	subdivision 1 who meet the board's standards for peace officer licensure under chapter 626 
50.11 	and Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700. Except as otherwise provided in this section, railroad 
50.12 	peace officers are subject to all of the provisions applicable to peace officers under chapter 
50.13 	626 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700.
50.14 		Subd. 7.Immediate suspension of authority. At the sole discretion of the Board of 
50.15 	Peace Officer Standards and Training, the board may immediately suspend or revoke the 
50.16 	license of the chief law enforcement officer of a railroad company for any reason within 
50.17 	the board's jurisdiction. If the board suspends or revokes the license of the chief law 
50.18 	enforcement officer, the railroad's law enforcement agency shall be deemed disbanded and 
50.19 	the licenses of all peace officers on the railroad agency roster will be placed in inactive 
50.20 	status. The requirement to place a peace officer's license in inactive status does not apply 
50.21 	to a railroad peace officer who also works as a licensed peace officer for a different law 
50.22 	enforcement agency in Minnesota, but such an officer must no longer be designated a railroad 
50.23 	peace officer. Except as noted in this section, the licenses of railroad peace officers are 
50.24 	subject to the requirements, restrictions, and disciplinary procedures that apply to any other 
50.25 	licensed peace officer.
50.26 		Subd. 8.Compensation; benefits; fees. (a) A railroad peace officer shall be compensated 
50.27 	by the railroad by which the officer is employed.
50.28 	(b) A railroad peace officer is not entitled to receive any compensation, benefits, or other 
50.29 	remuneration provided or required to be provided to other licensed peace officers by this 
50.30 	state or any political subdivision or agency of this state.
50.31 	(c) A railroad peace officer may attend any training course offered to peace officers of 
50.32 	this state, provided that railroad peace officers pay reasonable tuition and costs.
50.33 		Subd. 9.Railroad liability.  A railroad company employing a railroad peace officer in 
50.34 	this state is liable for all acts, errors, and omissions of a railroad peace officer occurring in 
51.1 	the course and scope of the peace officer's employment by the railroad and shall indemnify 
51.2 	its peace officers for civil damages, penalties, or fines claimed or levied against the officer 
51.3 	according to section 181.970. Neither this state nor any political subdivision or agency of 
51.4 	the state is liable for any act, error, or omission of a railroad peace officer.
51.5 		Subd. 10.Construction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or in any 
51.6 	way restrict the rights, powers, or privileges granted to a peace officer in this state who is 
51.7 	not a railroad peace officer.

66.16 	the agent is assigned to the person. If the person does not have an assigned corrections agent 
66.17 	or is unable to locate the assigned corrections agent, the person shall register with the law 
66.18 	enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the person's primary address.
66.19 	(b) Except as provided in subdivision 3a, at least five days before the person starts living 
66.20 	at a new primary address, including living in another state, the person shall give written 
66.21 	notice of the new primary address to the assigned corrections agent or to the law enforcement 
66.22 	authority with which the person currently is registered. If the person will be living in a new 
66.23 	state and that state has a registration requirement, the person shall also give written notice 
66.24 	of the new address to the designated registration agency in the new state. A person required 
66.25 	to register under this section shall also give written notice to the assigned corrections agent 
66.26 	or to the law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the person's primary 
66.27 	address that the person is no longer living or staying at an address, immediately after the 
66.28 	person is no longer living or staying at that address. The written notice required by this 
66.29 	paragraph must be provided in person. The corrections agent or law enforcement authority 
66.30 	shall, within two business days after receipt of this information, forward it to the bureau. 
66.31 	The bureau shall, if it has not already been done, notify the law enforcement authority having 
66.32 	primary jurisdiction in the community where the person will live of the new address. If the 
66.33 	person is leaving the state, the bureau shall notify the registration authority in the new state 
66.34 	of the new address. The person's registration requirements under this section are suspended 
67.1 	after the person begins living in the new state and the bureau has confirmed the address in 
67.2 	the other state through the annual verification process on at least one occasion. The bureau 
67.3 	may also attempt to confirm the person's address in the other state by the following methods:
67.4 	(1) receipt of a verification letter from the law enforcement authority having primary 
67.5 	jurisdiction in the community where the person is now living, acknowledging the person's 
67.6 	address;
67.7 	(2) receipt of a written communication or verification letter from a criminal justice 
67.8 	agency confirming the person's location;
67.9 	(3) confirmation of the individual's compliance with registration requirements or 
67.10 	incarceration status in the new state via an online registry or website, if applicable; or
67.11 	(4) confirmation of the individual's motor vehicle records under United States Code, 
67.12 	title 18, section 2721, in the new state via the new state's documentation.
67.13 	The bureau is the sole determinant as to whether the information provided by any of the 
67.14 	methods in clauses (1) to (3) is sufficient for verification purposes and may use more than 
67.15 	one of these methods to satisfy the verification requirement. For purposes of this subdivision, 
67.16 	"criminal justice agency" means an agency of a state, a political subdivision, a federally 
67.17 	recognized Tribe, a United States territory, or the federal government charged with detection, 
67.18 	enforcement, prosecution, adjudication, or incarceration with respect to federal or state 
67.19 	criminal laws. The person's registration requirements under this section are reactivated if 
67.20 	the person resumes living in Minnesota and the registration time period described in 
67.21 	subdivision 6 has not expired.
67.22 	(c) A person required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (b), because the person 
67.23 	is working or attending school in Minnesota shall register with the law enforcement authority 
67.24 	that has jurisdiction in the area where the person works or attends school. In addition to 
67.25 	other information required by this section, the person shall provide the address of the school 
67.26 	or of the location where the person is employed. A person shall comply with this paragraph 
67.27 	within five days of beginning employment or school. A person's obligation to register under 
67.28 	this paragraph terminates when the person is no longer working or attending school in 
67.29 	Minnesota.
67.30 	(d) A person required to register under this section who works or attends school outside 
67.31 	of Minnesota shall register as a predatory offender in the state where the person works or 
67.32 	attends school. The person's corrections agent, or if the person does not have an assigned 
67.33 	corrections agent, the law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the 
67.34 	person's primary address shall notify the person of this requirement.

68.1 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.166, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
68.2 	read:
68.3 		Subd. 4d.Guardians, conservators, and power of attorney. Guardians and conservators 
68.4 	of persons required to register shall have the authority to complete all verification and 
68.5 	registration paperwork under this section and section 243.167 on the person's behalf. A 
68.6 	validly executed power of attorney under chapter 523 grants the attorney in fact the authority 
68.7 	to complete all verification and registration paperwork under this section and section 243.167 
68.8 	on behalf of a person required to register.

68.9 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.166, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
68.10 		Subd. 6.Registration period. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.165, 
68.11 	subdivision 1, and except as provided in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), a person required to 
68.12 	register under this section shall continue to comply with this section until ten years have 
68.13 	elapsed since the person initially registered in connection with the offense, or until the 
68.14 	probation, supervised release, or conditional release period expires, whichever occurs later. 
68.15 	For a person required to register under this section who is committed under section 253B.18, 
68.16 	Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 253B.185, or chapter 253D, the ten-year registration period 
68.17 	does not include the period of commitment.
68.18 	(b) If a person required to register under this section fails to provide the person's primary 
68.19 	address as required by subdivision 3, paragraph (b), fails to comply with the requirements 
68.20 	of subdivision 3a, fails to provide information as required by subdivision 4a, or fails to 
68.21 	return the verification form referenced in subdivision 4 within ten days, the commissioner 
68.22 	of public safety shall require the person to continue to register for an additional period of 
68.23 	five years. This five-year period is added to the end of the offender's registration period.
68.24 	(c) If a person required to register under this section is incarcerated due to a conviction 
68.25 	for a new offense that requires registration under this section or section 243.167 or following 
68.26 	a revocation of probation, supervised release, or conditional release for anyan offense that 
68.27 	requires registration under this section or section 243.167, the person shall continue to 
68.28 	register until ten years have elapsed since the person was last released from incarceration 
68.29 	or until the person's probation, supervised release, or conditional release period expires, 
68.30 	whichever occurs later.
68.31 	(d) A person shall continue to comply with this section for the life of that person:
68.32 	(1) if the person is convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense for which 
68.33 	registration is required under subdivision 1b, or any offense from another state or any federal 
69.1 	offense similar to the offenses described in subdivision 1b, and the person has a prior 
69.2 	conviction or adjudication for an offense for which registration was or would have been 
69.3 	required under subdivision 1b, or an offense from another state or a federal offense similar 
69.4 	to an offense described in subdivision 1b;
69.5 	(2) if the person is required to register based upon a conviction or delinquency 
69.6 	adjudication for an offense under section 609.185, paragraph (a), clause (2), or a similar 
69.7 	statute from another state or the United States;
69.8 	(3) if the person is required to register based upon a conviction for an offense under 
69.9 	section 609.342, subdivision 1, clause (a) to (c) or (e), or subdivision 1a, clause (a) to (e) 
69.10 	or (h); 609.343, subdivision 1, clause (a) to (c) or (e), or subdivision 1a, clause (a) to (e) or

69.12 	or 609.345, subdivision 1, clause (a) or (c), or subdivision 1a, clause (a), (c), (g), or (h); or 
69.13 	a statute from another state or the United States similar to the offenses described in this 
69.14 	clause; or
69.15 	(4) if the person is required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (c), following 
69.16 	commitment pursuant to a court commitment under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 
69.17 	253B.185, chapter 253D, Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 526.10, or a similar law of 
69.18 	another state or the United States.
69.19 	(e) A person described in subdivision 1b, paragraph (b), who is required to register under 
69.20 	the laws of a state in which the person has been previously convicted or adjudicated 
69.21 	delinquent, shall register under this section for the time period required by the state of 
69.22 	conviction or adjudication unless a longer time period is required elsewhere in this section.

69.23 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2024, and applies to convictions 
69.24 	and revocations of probation, supervised release, or conditional release that occur on or 
69.25 	after that date and to convictions that are not yet final on that date.

69.26 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.052, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
69.27 		Subd. 4.Law enforcement agency; disclosure of information to public. (a) The law 
69.28 	enforcement agency in the area where the predatory offender resides, expects to reside, is 
69.29 	employed, or is regularly found, shall disclose to the public any information regarding the 
69.30 	offender contained in the report forwarded to the agency under subdivision 3, paragraph 
69.31 	(f), that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the offender's 
69.32 	dangerousness, consistent with the guidelines in paragraph (b). The extent of the information 
69.33 	disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must relate to the level of danger 
70.1 	posed by the offender, to the offender's pattern of offending behavior, and to the need of 
70.2 	community members for information to enhance their individual and collective safety.
70.3 	(b) The law enforcement agency shall employ the following guidelines in determining 
70.4 	the scope of disclosure made under this subdivision:
70.5 	(1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency may maintain information 
70.6 	regarding the offender within the agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement 
70.7 	agencies. Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any victims of or 
70.8 	witnesses to the offense committed by the offender. The agency shall disclose the information 
70.9 	to victims of the offense committed by the offender who have requested disclosure and to 
70.10 	adult members of the offender's immediate household;
70.11 	(2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the agency also may disclose the information 
70.12 	to agencies and groups that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose of securing 
70.13 	those institutions and protecting individuals in their care while they are on or near the 
70.14 	premises of the institution. These agencies and groups include the staff members of public 
70.15 	and private educational institutions, day care establishments, and establishments and 
70.16 	organizations that primarily serve individuals likely to be victimized by the offender. The 
70.17 	agency also may disclose the information to individuals the agency believes are likely to 
70.18 	be victimized by the offender. The agency's belief shall be based on the offender's pattern 
70.19 	of offending or victim preference as documented in the information provided by the 
70.20 	department of corrections or human services. The agency may disclose the information to 
70.21 	property assessors, property inspectors, code enforcement officials, and child protection 
70.22 	officials who are likely to visit the offender's home in the course of their duties;
70.23 	(3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the agency shall disclose the information 
70.24 	to the persons and entities described in clauses (1) and (2) and to other members of the 
70.25 	community whom the offender is likely to encounter, unless the law enforcement agency 
70.26 	determines that public safety would be compromised by the disclosure or that a more limited 
70.27 	disclosure is necessary to protect the identity of the victim.
70.28 	Notwithstanding the assignment of a predatory offender to risk level II or III, a law 
70.29 	enforcement agency may not make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or 
70.30 	(3), if: the offender is placed or resides in a residential facility. However, if an offender is 
70.31 	placed or resides in a residential facility, the offender and the head of the facility shall 
70.32 	designate the offender's likely residence upon release from the facility and the head of the 
70.33 	facility shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner of human services 
70.34 	of the offender's likely residence at least 14 days before the offender's scheduled release 
71.1 	date. The commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement agency having 
71.2 	jurisdiction over the offender's likely residence. The head of the residential facility also 
71.3 	shall notify the commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours after 
71.4 	finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a permanent residence. Within five 
71.5 	days after receiving this notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to the 
71.6 	appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the commissioner has 
71.7 	concerning the offender, including information on the risk factors in the offender's history 
71.8 	and the risk level to which the offender was assigned. After receiving this information, the 
71.9 	law enforcement agency shall make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or 
71.10 	(3), as appropriate.
71.11 	(c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely to encounter" means that:
71.12 	(1) the organizations or community members are in a location or in close proximity to 
71.13 	a location where the offender lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or is likely 
71.14 	to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the offender's outpatient treatment 
71.15 	program; and
71.16 	(2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that location and other circumstances 
71.17 	indicate that contact with the offender is reasonably certain.
71.18 	(d) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision 
71.19 	shall make a good faith effort to make the notification within 14 days of receipt of a 
71.20 	confirmed address from the Department of Corrections indicating that the offender will be, 
71.21 	or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for supervision, or has moved to a new 
71.22 	address and will reside at the address indicated. If a change occurs in the release plan, this 
71.23 	notification provision does not require an extension of the release date.
71.24 	(e) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision 
71.25 	shall not disclose the identity or any identifying characteristics of the victims of or witnesses 
71.26 	to the offender's offenses.
71.27 	(f) A law enforcement agency shall continue to disclose information on an offender as 
71.28 	required by this subdivision for as long as the offender is required to register under section 
71.29 	243.166. This requirement on a law enforcement agency to continue to disclose information 
71.30 	also applies to an offender who lacks a primary address and is registering under section 
71.31 	243.166, subdivision 3a.
71.32 	(g) A law enforcement agency that is disclosing information on an offender assigned to 
71.33 	risk level III to the public under this subdivision shall inform the commissioner of corrections 
71.34 	what information is being disclosed and forward this information to the commissioner within 
72.1 	two days of the agency's determination. The commissioner shall post this information on 
72.2 	the Internet as required in subdivision 4b.
72.3 	(h) A city council may adopt a policy that addresses when information disclosed under 
72.4 	this subdivision must be presented in languages in addition to English. The policy may 
72.5 	address when information must be presented orally, in writing, or both in additional languages 
72.6 	by the law enforcement agency disclosing the information. The policy may provide for 
72.7 	different approaches based on the prevalence of non-English languages in different 
72.8 	neighborhoods.
72.9 	(i) An offender who is the subject of a community notification meeting held pursuant 
72.10 	to this section may not attend the meeting.
72.11 	(j) When a school, day care facility, or other entity or program that primarily educates 
72.12 	or serves children receives notice under paragraph (b), clause (3), that a level III predatory 
72.13 	offender resides or works in the surrounding community, notice to parents must be made 
72.14 	as provided in this paragraph. If the predatory offender identified in the notice is participating 
72.15 	in programs offered by the facility that require or allow the person to interact with children 
72.16 	other than the person's children, the principal or head of the entity must notify parents with 
72.17 	children at the facility of the contents of the notice received pursuant to this section. The 
72.18 	immunity provisions of subdivision 7 apply to persons disclosing information under this 
72.19 	paragraph.
72.20 	(k) When an offender for whom notification was made under this subdivision no longer 
72.21 	resides, is employed, or is regularly found in the area, and the law enforcement agency that 
72.22 	made the notification is aware of this, the agency shall inform the entities and individuals 
72.23 	initially notified of the change in the offender's status. If notification was made under 
72.24 	paragraph (b), clause (3), the agency shall provide the updated information required under 
72.25 	this paragraph in a manner designed to ensure a similar scope of dissemination. However, 
72.26 	the agency is not required to hold a public meeting to do so.

72.27 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.052, subdivision 4a, is amended to read:
72.28 		Subd. 4a.Level III offenders; location of residence. (a) When an offender assigned 
72.29 	to risk level III is released from confinement or a residential facility to reside in the 
72.30 	community or changes residence while on supervised or conditional release, the agency 
72.31 	responsible for the offender's supervision shall:
72.32 	(1) take into consideration the proximity of the offender's residence to that of other level 
72.33 	III offenders and if the proximity presents a risk of reoffending;
73.1 	(2) take into consideration the proximity to of the offender's residence to the following 
73.2 	locations if the locations present a risk of reoffending:
73.3 	(i) schools;
73.4 	(ii)child care facilities or family or group family day care programs;
73.5 	(iii) licensed residences for vulnerable adults;
73.6 	(iv) attractions within public parks that are regularly used by minors, including but not 
73.7 	limited to playgrounds or athletic fields; and
73.8 	(v) community centers and recreation centers that are regularly used in youth athletic 
73.9 	activities or offer regularly scheduled indoor playtimes or access to gymnasiums and other 
73.10 	facilities that are restricted to minors; and,
73.11 	(3) to the greatest extent feasible, shall mitigate the concentration of level III offenders 
73.12 	and concentration of level III offenders near schools the locations listed in clause (2) when 
73.13 	the concentration presents a risk of reoffending.
73.14 	(b) If the owner or property manager of a hotel, motel, lodging establishment, or 
73.15 	apartment building has an agreement with an agency that arranges or provides shelter for 
73.16 	victims of domestic abuse, the owner or property manager may not knowingly rent rooms 
73.17 	to both level III offenders and victims of domestic abuse at the same time. If the owner or 
73.18 	property manager has an agreement with an agency to provide housing to domestic abuse 
73.19 	victims and discovers or is informed that a tenant is a level III offender after signing a lease 
73.20 	or otherwise renting to the offender, the owner or property manager may evict the offender.

73.21 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 260B.198, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
73.22 		Subd. 7.Continuance. (a) When it is in the best interests of the child to do so and not 
73.23 	inimical to public safety and when the child has admitted the allegations contained in the 
73.24 	petition before the judge or referee, or when a hearing has been held as provided for in 
73.25 	section 260B.163 and the allegations contained in the petition have been duly proven but, 
73.26 	in either case, before a finding of delinquency has been entered, the court may continue the 
73.27 	case for a period not to exceed 180 days on any one order. Except as otherwise provided in 
73.28 	paragraph (c), the continuance may be extended for one additional successive period not to 
73.29 	exceed 180 days, but only with the consent of the prosecutor and only after the court has 
73.30 	reviewed the case and entered its order for the additional continuance without a finding of 
73.31 	delinquency. During a continuance the court may enter an order in accordance with the 
73.32 	provisions of subdivision 1, except clause (4), or enter an order to hold the child in detention 
73.33 	for a period not to exceed 15 days on any one order for the purpose of completing any 
74.1 	consideration, or any investigation or examination ordered in accordance with the provisions 
74.2 	of section 260B.157.
74.3 	(b) A prosecutor may appeal a continuance ordered in contravention of this subdivision. 
74.4 	This subdivision does not extend the court's jurisdiction under section 260B.193 and does 
74.5 	not apply to an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
74.6 	(c) A continuance granted under paragraph (a) for a violation of section 609.342; 609.343; 
74.7 	609.344; 609.345; 609.3451; 609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23 or another offense 
74.8 	arising out of a delinquency petition based on one or more of those sections that would 
74.9 	require the child to register as a predatory offender under section 243.166 may be extended 
74.10 	for additional successive periods not to exceed a total of 24 months so the offender can 
74.11 	receive sex offender treatment, but only with the consent of the prosecutor and only after 
74.12 	the court has reviewed the case and entered its order for the additional continuance without

75.13 	of the city or zip code of the offender's residency creates a risk to the victim, offender, or 
75.14 	public safety.
75.15 	(e) Paragraph (d) applies only where the offender is serving a prison term for a qualified 
75.16 	domestic violence-related offense committed against the victim seeking notification.

75.17 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 241.021, subdivision 1, is amended 
75.18 	to read:
75.19 		Subdivision 1.Correctional facilities; inspection; licensing. (a) Except as provided 
75.20 	in paragraph (b), the commissioner of corrections shall inspect and license all correctional 
75.21 	facilities throughout the state, whether public or private, established and operated for the 
75.22 	detention and confinement of persons confined or incarcerated therein according to law 
75.23 	except to the extent that they are inspected or licensed by other state regulating agencies. 
75.24 	The commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules establishing minimum 
75.25 	standards for these facilities with respect to their management, operation, physical condition, 
75.26 	and the security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons confined or incarcerated 
75.27 	therein. These minimum standards shall include but are not limited to specific guidance 
75.28 	pertaining to:
75.29 	(1) screening, appraisal, assessment, and treatment for persons confined or incarcerated 
75.30 	in correctional facilities with mental illness or substance use disorders;
75.31 	(2) a policy on the involuntary administration of medications;
75.32 	(3) suicide prevention plans and training;
76.1 	(4) verification of medications in a timely manner;
76.2 	(5) well-being checks;
76.3 	(6) discharge planning, including providing prescribed medications to persons confined 
76.4 	or incarcerated in correctional facilities upon release;
76.5 	(7) a policy on referrals or transfers to medical or mental health care in a noncorrectional 
76.6 	institution;
76.7 	(8) use of segregation and mental health checks;
76.8 	(9) critical incident debriefings;
76.9 	(10) clinical management of substance use disorders and opioid overdose emergency 
76.10 	procedures;
76.11 	(11) a policy regarding identification of persons with special needs confined or 
76.12 	incarcerated in correctional facilities;
76.13 	(12) a policy regarding the use of telehealth;
76.14 	(13) self-auditing of compliance with minimum standards;
76.15 	(14) information sharing with medical personnel and when medical assessment must be 
76.16 	facilitated;
76.17 	(15) a code of conduct policy for facility staff and annual training;
76.18 	(16) a policy on death review of all circumstances surrounding the death of an individual 
76.19 	committed to the custody of the facility; and
76.20 	(17) dissemination of a rights statement made available to persons confined or 
76.21 	incarcerated in licensed correctional facilities.
76.22 	No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private 
76.23 	organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the 
76.24 	facility unless it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. Private 
76.25 	adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 13, if 
76.26 	the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with the authority and the facility meets 
76.27 	requirements of section 243.52.
76.28 	The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision 
76.29 	at least once every two years, except as otherwise provided, to determine compliance with 
76.30 	the minimum standards established according to this subdivision or other Minnesota statute 
76.31 	related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.
77.1 	The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum 
77.2 	standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory 
77.3 	progress toward substantial conformity and the standards not being met do not impact the 
77.4 	interests and well-being of the persons confined or incarcerated in the facility. A limited 
77.5 	license under subdivision 1a may be issued for purposes of effectuating a facility closure. 
77.6 	The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years. Unless otherwise specified by 
77.7 	statute, all licenses issued under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the 
77.8 	expiration date stated on the license.
77.9 	The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and 
77.10 	to persons confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may require the 
77.11 	officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the commissioner 
77.12 	deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner. Notwithstanding 
77.13 	chapter 13 or any other state law classifying or restricting access to data, the officers in 
77.14 	charge of these facilities must furnish all data available to the facility that the commissioner 
77.15 	deems necessary to conduct a review of any emergency or unusual occurrence at the facility. 
77.16 	Failure to provide or grant access to relevant information or statistics necessary to fulfill 
77.17 	inspection or emergency or unusual occurrence reviews, as requested by the commissioner, 
77.18 	may be grounds for the commissioner to take action against a correctional facility's license 
77.19 	under subdivision 1a, 1b, or 1c.
77.20 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all deaths of 
77.21 	individuals who died while committed to the custody of the facility, regardless of whether 
77.22 	the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the facility for medical care stemming 
77.23 	from an incident or need for medical care at the correctional facility, as soon as practicable, 
77.24 	but no later than 24 hours of receiving knowledge of the death, including any demographic 
77.25 	information as required by the commissioner.
77.26 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all other 
77.27 	emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including uses of force by facility 
77.28 	staff that result in substantial bodily harm or suicide attempts, to the commissioner of 
77.29 	corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any demographic information 
77.30 	as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections shall consult with the 
77.31 	Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the Minnesota Association of 
77.32 	Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the operations of an adult 
77.33 	correctional facility to define "use of force" that results in substantial bodily harm for 
77.34 	reporting purposes.
78.1 	The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the 
78.2 	Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each 
78.3 	inspection report publicly and on the department's website within 30 days of completing 
78.4 	the inspection. The education program offered in a correctional facility for the confinement 
78.5 	or incarceration of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner of education 
78.6 	before the commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.
78.7 	(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the 
78.8 	commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth 
78.9 	in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given 
78.10 	it in section 245A.02.
78.11 	(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional 
78.12 	facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
78.13 	substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or 
78.14 	license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different 
78.15 	correctional facilities.
78.16 	(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections' 
78.17 	authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
78.18 	funds under chapter 401, or to require counties to comply with operating standards the 
78.19 	commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that funding.
78.20 	(e) The department's inspection unit must report directly to a division head outside of 
78.21 	the correctional institutions division.

78.22 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.021, subdivision 1h, is amended to read:
78.23 		Subd. 1h.State correctional facilities security audit group. (a) Beginning in fiscal 
78.24 	year 2022, the commissioner shall form a state correctional facilities security audit group. 
78.25 	The group must consist of the following members:

79.7 	(6) the commissioner of administration or a designee;
79.8 	(6) (7) two senators, one appointed by the senate majority leader and one appointed by 
79.9 	the minority leader; and
79.10 	(7) (8) two representatives, one appointed by the speaker of the house and one appointed 
79.11 	by the minority leader of the house of representatives.
79.12 	(b) By January 1, 2022, The ombudsperson or a designee shall chair the group. The 
79.13 	group shall establish security audit standards for state correctional facilities. In developing 
79.14 	the standards, the group, or individual members of the group, may gather information from 
79.15 	state correctional facilities and state correctional staff and inmates. The security audit group 
79.16 	must periodically review the standards and modify them as needed. The group must report 
79.17 	the standards to the chairs and ranking minority members of the house of representatives 
79.18 	and senate committees with jurisdiction over public safety policy and finance by February 
79.19 	15, 2022 whenever the standards are updated.
79.20 	(c) The group shall meet twice a year to review facility audit reports submitted to the 
79.21 	group by the agency's inspection unit. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the group 
79.22 	is entitled to review the full audit reports including nonpublic security information and 
79.23 	corrections and detention confidential data. Within 60 days of receiving an meeting to review
79.24 	audit report reports from the department's inspection unit, the group must make 
79.25 	recommendations to the commissioner. Within 45 days of receiving the group's 
79.26 	recommendations, the commissioner must reply in writing to the group's findings and 
79.27 	recommendations. The commissioner's response must explain whether the agency will 
79.28 	implement the group's recommendations, the timeline for implementation of the changes, 
79.29 	and, if not, why the commissioner will not or cannot implement the group's recommendations.
79.30 	(d) Beginning in 2023, the commissioner must include a written aggregate of the group's 
79.31 	recommendations based on each security audit and assessment of a state correctional facility 
79.32 	and the commissioner's responses to the recommendations in the biennial report required 
79.33 	under section 241.016, subdivision 1. The commissioner shall not include corrections and 
80.1 	detention confidential data, as defined in section 13.85, subdivision 3, and nonpublic security 
80.2 	information, as defined in section 13.37, subdivision 1, in the commissioner's report to the 
80.3 	legislature.
80.4 	(e) The commissioner shall provide staffing and administrative support to the group.
80.5 	(f) The state correctional facilities security audit group is not subject to chapter 13D.
80.6 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the terms, compensation, and removal 
80.7 	of members of the group are governed by section 15.059. Members of the group serve 
80.8 	without compensation but shall receive expense reimbursement. Notwithstanding section 
80.9 	15.059, subdivision 6, the group does not expire.

80.10 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.021, subdivision 4b, is amended to read:
80.11 		Subd. 4b.Health care peer review committee. The commissioner of corrections shall 
80.12 	establish a health care peer review committee. Sections 145.61 to 145.67 apply to the 
80.13 	committee. The committee shall gather, review, and evaluate information relating to the

81.3 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.75, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
81.4 		Subd. 2.Health care decisions. The medical director of the Department of Corrections, 
81.5 	or the medical director's designee, who must be a physician licensed under chapter 147,
81.6 	may make a health care decision for an inmate incarcerated in a state correctional facility 
81.7 	or placed in an outside facility on conditional medical release if the inmate's attending 
81.8 	physician determines that the inmate lacks decision-making capacity and:
81.9 	(1) there is not a documented health care agent designated by the inmate or the health 
81.10 	care agent is not reasonably available to make the health care decision;
81.11 	(2) if there is a documented health care directive, the decision is consistent with that 
81.12 	directive;
81.13 	(3) the decision is consistent with reasonable medical practice and other applicable law; 
81.14 	and
81.15 	(4) the medical director has made a good faith attempt to consult with the inmate's next 
81.16 	of kin or emergency contact person in making the decision, to the extent those persons are 
81.17 	reasonably available.

81.18 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.52, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
81.19 		Subd. 2.Use of force. (a) Use of force must not be applied maliciously or sadistically 
81.20 	for the purpose of causing harm to a confined or incarcerated person.
81.21 	(b) Unless the use of deadly force is justified in this section, a correctional officer working 
81.22 	in an adult correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner of corrections 
81.23 	or licensed by the commissioner under section 241.021 may not use any of the following 
81.24 	restraints:
81.25 	(1) a choke hold;
81.26 	(2) a prone restraint;
81.27 	(3) tying all of a person's limbs together behind the person's back to render the person 
81.28 	immobile; or
81.29 	(4) securing a person in any way that results in transporting the person face down in a 
81.30 	vehicle, except as directed by a medical professional.
82.1 	(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given 
82.2 	them:
82.3 	(1) "choke hold" means a method by which a person applies sufficient pressure to a 
82.4 	person to make breathing difficult or impossible, and includes but is not limited to any 
82.5 	pressure to the neck, throat, or windpipe that may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce 
82.6 	intake of air. Choke hold also means applying pressure to a person's neck on either side of 
82.7 	the windpipe, but not to the windpipe itself, to stop the flow of blood to the brain via the 
82.8 	carotid arteries;
82.9 	(2) "prone restraint" means the use of manual restraint that places a person in a face-down 
82.10 	position; and
82.11 	(3) "deadly force" has the meaning given in section 609.066, subdivision 1.
82.12 	(d) Use of deadly force is justified only if an objectively reasonable correctional officer 
82.13 	would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time 
82.14 	and without the benefit of hindsight, that deadly force is necessary:
82.15 	(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided 
82.16 	that the threat:
82.17 	(i) can be articulated with specificity by the correctional officer;
82.18 	(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and
82.19 	(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
82.20 	(2) to effect the capture or prevent the escape of a person when the officer reasonably 
82.21 	believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the 
82.22 	threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.

82.23 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 244.05, subdivision 5, is amended 
82.24 	to read:
82.25 		Subd. 5.Supervised release, life and indeterminate sentences. (a) The board may, 
82.26 	under rules adopted by the commissioner, grant supervised release or parole as follows:
82.27 	(1) to an inmate serving a mandatory life sentence after the inmate has served the 
82.28 	minimum term of imprisonment specified in subdivision 4 or section 243.05, subdivision 
82.29 	1, paragraph (a);
82.30 	(2) at any time for an inmate serving a nonlife indeterminate sentence for a crime 
82.31 	committed on or before April 30, 1980; or
83.1 	(3) to an inmate eligible for early supervised release under subdivision 4a after the inmate 
83.2 	has served the minimum term of imprisonment.
83.3 	(b) For cases involving multiple sentences, the board must grant or deny supervised 
83.4 	release as follows:
83.5 	(1) if an inmate is serving multiple sentences that are concurrent to one another, the 
83.6 	board must grant or deny supervised release on all unexpired sentences; and
83.7 	(2) notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if an inmate who was under the age 
83.8 	of 18 at the time of the commission of the relevant offenses and has served the minimum 
83.9 	term of imprisonment specified in subdivision 4b is serving multiple sentences that are 
83.10 	consecutive to one another, the board may grant or deny supervised release on one or more 
83.11 	sentences.
83.12 	(c) No less than three years before an inmate has served the applicable minimum term 
83.13 	of imprisonment, the board must assess the inmate's status and make programming 
83.14 	recommendations relevant to the inmate's release review. The commissioner must ensure 
83.15 	that any board programming recommendations are followed and implemented.
83.16 	(d) The board must conduct a supervised release review hearing as soon as practicable 
83.17 	before an inmate has served the applicable minimum term of imprisonment.
83.18 	(e) The board shall require the preparation of a community investigation report. The 
83.19 	report shall:
83.20 	(1) reflect the sentiment of the various elements of the community toward the inmate, 
83.21 	both at the time of the offense and at the present time;
83.22 	(2) include the views of the sentencing judge, the prosecutor, any law enforcement 
83.23 	personnel who may have been involved in the case, and any successors to these individuals 
83.24 	who may have information relevant to the supervised release decision; and
83.25 	(3) include the views of the victim and the victim's family unless the victim or the victim's 
83.26 	family chooses not to participate.
83.27 	(f) The board shall require the preparation of a development report when making a 
83.28 	supervised release decision regarding an inmate who was under 18 years of age at the time 
83.29 	of the commission of the offense. The report must be prepared by a mental health professional 
83.30 	qualified to provide services to a client under section 245I.04, subdivision 2, clause (1) to 
83.31 	(4) or (6), and must address the inmate's cognitive, emotional, and social maturity. The 
83.32 	board may use a previous report that was prepared within 12 months immediately preceding 
83.33 	the hearing.
84.1 	(g) The board shall make reasonable efforts to notify the victim, in advance, of the time 
84.2 	and place of the inmate's release review hearing. The victim has a right to submit an oral 
84.3 	or written statement at the review hearing. Notwithstanding chapter 13D, the board may 
84.4 	meet in closed session to receive and review a victim's statement, at the request of the victim. 
84.5 	The statement may summarize the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the crime and 
84.6 	give the victim's recommendation on whether the inmate should be given supervised release 
84.7 	at this time.
84.8 	(h) The board shall permit a prosecutor from the office that prosecuted the case to submit 
84.9 	a written statement in advance of the review hearing.
84.10 	(i) When considering whether to grant supervised release or parole to an inmate serving 
84.11 	a life sentence or indeterminate sentence, the board shall consider, at a minimum, the 
84.12 	following:
84.13 	(1) the report prepared pursuant to paragraph (e);
84.14 	(2) the report prepared pursuant to paragraph (f), if applicable;
84.15 	(3) a victim statement under paragraph (g), if submitted;
84.16 	(4) the statement of a prosecutor under paragraph (h), if submitted;
84.17 	(5) the risk the inmate poses to the community if released;
84.18 	(6) the inmate's progress in treatment, if applicable;
84.19 	(7) the inmate's behavior while incarcerated;
84.20 	(8) psychological or other diagnostic evaluations of the inmate;
84.21 	(9) information on the inmate's rehabilitation while incarcerated;
84.22 	(10) the inmate's criminal history;
84.23 	(11) if the inmate was under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense, 
84.24 	relevant science on the neurological development of juveniles and information on the inmate's 
84.25 	maturity and development while incarcerated; and
84.26 	(12) any other relevant conduct of the inmate while incarcerated or before incarceration.
84.27 	(j) The board may not grant supervised release or parole to an inmate unless:
84.28 	(1) while in prison:
84.29 	(i) the inmate has successfully completed appropriate sex offender treatment, if applicable;
85.1 	(ii) the inmate has been assessed for substance use disorder needs and, if appropriate, 
85.2 	has successfully completed substance use disorder treatment; and
85.3 	(iii) the inmate has been assessed for mental health needs and, if appropriate, has 
85.4 	successfully completed mental health treatment; and
85.5 	(2) a comprehensive individual release plan is in place for the inmate that:
85.6 	(i) ensures that, after release, the inmate will have suitable housing and receive appropriate 
85.7 	aftercare and community-based treatment; and
85.8 	(ii) includes a postprison employment or education plan for the inmate.
85.9 	(k) Supervised release or parole must be granted with a majority vote of the quorum 
85.10 	required under section 244.049, subdivision 3. If there is a tie vote, supervised release or 
85.11 	parole is granted only if the commissioner votes in favor of granting supervised release or 
85.12 	parole.
85.13 	(l) Within 30 days after a supervised release review hearing, the board must issue a 
85.14 	decision on granting release, including an explanation for the decision. If an inmate is serving 
85.15 	multiple sentences that are concurrent to one another, the board must grant or deny supervised 
85.16 	release on all sentences.
85.17 	(m) If the board does not grant supervised release, the explanation of that decision must 
85.18 	identify specific steps that the inmate can take to increase the likelihood that release will 
85.19 	be granted at a future hearing.
85.20 	(n) When granting supervised release under this subdivision, the board must set prerelease 
85.21 	conditions to be followed by the inmate, if time permits, before their actual release or before 
85.22 	constructive parole becomes effective. If the inmate violates any of the prerelease conditions, 
85.23 	the commissioner may rescind the grant of supervised release without a hearing at any time 
85.24 	before the inmate's release or before constructive parole becomes effective. A grant of 
85.25 	constructive parole becomes effective once the inmate begins serving the consecutive
