2.8 	victim's statement when making the parole decision.

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.

7.4 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 253B.18, subdivision 5a, is amended to read:

10.10 	than two years or to payment of a fine of not more than $4,000, or both. The provision in 
10.11 	section 609.378, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1), providing that a parent, guardian, 
10.12 	or caretaker may, in good faith, select and depend on spiritual means or prayer for treatment 
10.13 	or care of a child, does not exempt a parent, guardian, or caretaker from the duty to report 
10.14 	under this chapter.
10.15 	(d) Any person who knowingly or recklessly makes a false report under the provisions 
10.16 	of this chapter shall be liable in a civil suit for any actual damages suffered by the person 
10.17 	or persons so reported and for any punitive damages set by the court or jury, plus costs and 
10.18 	reasonable attorney fees.
10.19 	(e) A person who intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a person mandated by 
10.20 	section 260E.06, subdivision 1, to report under this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor.

10.21 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
10.22 		Subd. 2.Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings 
10.23 	given them:
10.24 	(a) "Domestic abuse" means the following, if committed against a family or household 
10.25 	member by a family or household member:
10.26 	(1) physical harm, bodily injury, or assault;
10.27 	(2) the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury, or assault; or
10.28 	(3) terroristic threats, within the meaning of section 609.713, subdivision 1; criminal 
10.29 	sexual conduct, within the meaning of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 609.345, or 
10.30 	609.3451; sexual extortion within the meaning of section 609.3458; or interference with an

11.9 	(7) persons involved in a significant romantic or sexual relationship.
11.10 	Issuance of an order for protection on the ground in clause (6) does not affect a 
11.11 	determination of paternity under sections 257.51 to 257.74. In determining whether persons 
11.12 	are or have been involved in a significant romantic or sexual relationship under clause (7), 
11.13 	the court shall consider the length of time of the relationship; type of relationship; frequency 
11.14 	of interaction between the parties; and, if the relationship has terminated, length of time 
11.15 	since the termination.
11.16 	(c) "Qualified domestic violence-related offense" has the meaning given in section 
11.17 	609.02, subdivision 16.
11.18 	(d) "Custodian" means any person other than the petitioner or respondent who is under 
11.19 	a legal obligation to provide care and support for a minor child of a petitioner or who is in 
11.20 	fact providing care and support for a minor child of a petitioner. Custodian does not include 
11.21 	any person caring for a minor child if the petitioner's parental rights have been terminated.

11.22 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 3a, is amended to read:
11.23 		Subd. 3a.Filing fee. The filing fees for an order for protection under this section are 
11.24 	waived for the petitioner and respondent. The court administrator, the sheriff of any county 
11.25 	in this state, and other law enforcement and corrections officers shall perform their duties 
11.26 	relating to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct payment 
11.27 	of the reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server when the 
11.28 	sheriff or other law enforcement or corrections officer is unavailable or if service is made 
11.29 	by publication, without requiring the petitioner to make application under section 563.01.

12.1 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 3b, is amended to read:
12.2 		Subd. 3b.Information on petitioner's location or residence. (a) Upon the petitioner's 
12.3 	request, information maintained by the court regarding the petitioner's location or residence 
12.4 	is not accessible to the public and may be disclosed only to court personnel or law 
12.5 	enforcement for purposes of service of process, conducting an investigation, or enforcing 
12.6 	an order.
12.7 	(b) Upon request of the petitioner or a custodian of the petitioner's minor children, 
12.8 	information maintained by the court regarding the location or residence of the petitioner's 
12.9 	minor children is not accessible to the public and may be disclosed only to court personnel 
12.10 	or law enforcement for purposes of service of process, conducting an investigation, or 
12.11 	enforcing an order. If any custodian is a program participant as defined in section 5B.02, 
12.12 	paragraph (g), the protections, limitations, and requirements in chapter 5B apply and 
12.13 	information maintained by the court regarding the location or residence of the petitioner's 
12.14 	minor children is not accessible to the public.

12.15 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
12.16 		Subd. 4.Order for protection. There shall exist an action known as a petition for an 
12.17 	order for protection in cases of domestic abuse.
12.18 	(a) A petition for relief under this section may be made by any family or household 
12.19 	member personally or by a family or household member, a guardian as defined in section 
12.20 	524.1-201, clause (27), or, if the court finds that it is in the best interests of the minor, by 
12.21 	a reputable adult age 25 or older on behalf of minor family or household members. A minor 
12.22 	age 16 or older may make a petition on the minor's own behalf against a spouse or former 
12.23 	spouse, or a person with whom the minor has a child in common, if the court determines 
12.24 	that the minor has sufficient maturity and judgment and that it is in the best interests of the 
12.25 	minor.
12.26 	(b) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of domestic abuse, and shall be 
12.27 	accompanied by an affidavit made under oath stating the specific facts and circumstances 
12.28 	from which relief is sought.
12.29 	(c) A petition for relief must state whether the petitioner has ever had an order for 
12.30 	protection in effect against the respondent.
12.31 	(d) A petition for relief must state whether there is an existing order for protection in 
12.32 	effect under this chapter governing both the parties and whether there is a pending lawsuit, 
12.33 	complaint, petition or other action between the parties under chapter 257, 518, 518A, 518B, 
13.1 	or 518C. The court administrator shall verify the terms of any existing order governing the 
13.2 	parties. The court may not delay granting relief because of the existence of a pending action 
13.3 	between the parties or the necessity of verifying the terms of an existing order. A subsequent 
13.4 	order in a separate action under this chapter may modify only the provision of an existing 
13.5 	order that grants relief authorized under subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause (1). A petition 
13.6 	for relief may be granted, regardless of whether there is a pending action between the parties.
13.7 	(e) A petition for relief must state whether the petitioner has any minor children and, if 
13.8 	so, must provide the name of any custodian of the minor children and must identify the 
13.9 	location or residence of the custodian. If any custodian is a program participant as defined 
13.10 	in section 5B.02, paragraph (g), the location or residence of the custodian is the address 
13.11 	designated by the secretary of state as the address of the program participant. A petition 
13.12 	must not be rejected or denied for failure to identify any custodian.
13.13 	(e) (f) The court shall provide simplified forms and clerical assistance to help with the 
13.14 	writing and filing of a petition under this section.
13.15 	(f) (g) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) (f) of the right to file a 
13.16 	motion and affidavit and to sue in forma pauperis pursuant to section 563.01 and shall assist 
13.17 	with the writing and filing of the motion and affidavit.
13.18 	(g) (h) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) (f) of the right to serve 
13.19 	the respondent by published notice under subdivision 5, paragraph (b), if the respondent is 
13.20 	avoiding personal service by concealment or otherwise, and shall assist with the writing 
13.21 	and filing of the affidavit.
13.22 	(h) (i) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to seek restitution under the 
13.23 	petition for relief.
13.24 	(i) (j) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request a hearing under 
13.25 	subdivision 7, paragraph (c). If the petitioner does not request a hearing, the court shall 
13.26 	advise the petitioner that the respondent may request a hearing and that notice of the hearing 
13.27 	date and time will be provided to the petitioner and the custodian of any of the petitioner's 
13.28 	minor children by mail at least five days before the hearing.
13.29 	(j) (k) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request supervised parenting 
13.30 	time, as provided in section 518.175, subdivision 1a.

14.1 	Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
14.2 		Subd. 5.Hearing on application; notice. (a) Upon receipt of the petition, the court 
14.3 	shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than 14 days from the date of the order 
14.4 	for hearing unless an ex parte order is issued.
14.5 	(b) If an ex parte order has been issued under subdivision 7 and the petitioner seeks only 
14.6 	the relief under subdivision 7, paragraph (a), a hearing is not required unless:
14.7 	(1) the court declines to order the requested relief; or
14.8 	(2) one of the parties requests a hearing.
14.9 	(c) If an ex parte order has been issued under subdivision 7 and the petitioner seeks relief 
14.10 	beyond that specified in subdivision 7, paragraph (a), or if the court declines to order relief 
14.11 	requested by the petitioner, a hearing must be held within seven days. Personal service of 
14.12 	the ex parte order may be made upon the respondent and any custodian at any time up to 
14.13 	12 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, provided that the respondent at the hearing 
14.14 	may request a continuance of up to five days if served fewer than five days prior to the 
14.15 	hearing which continuance shall be granted unless there are compelling reasons not to.
14.16 	(d) If an ex parte order has been issued only granting relief under subdivision 7, paragraph 
14.17 	(a), and the respondent requests a hearing, the hearing shall be held within ten days of the 
14.18 	court's receipt of the respondent's request. Service of the notice of hearing must be made 
14.19 	upon the petitioner and any custodian not less than five days prior to the hearing. The court 
14.20 	shall serve the notice of hearing upon the petitioner and any custodian by mail in the manner 
14.21 	provided in the Rules of Civil Procedure for pleadings subsequent to a complaint and motions 
14.22 	and shall also mail notice of the date and time of the hearing to the respondent. In the event 
14.23 	that service cannot be completed in time to give the respondent or, petitioner, or any custodian
14.24 	the minimum notice required under this subdivision, the court may set a new hearing date 
14.25 	no more than five days later.
14.26 	(e) If for good cause shown either party is unable to proceed at the initial hearing and 
14.27 	requests a continuance and the court finds that a continuance is appropriate, the hearing 
14.28 	may be continued. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and approved by the court, the 
14.29 	continuance shall be for no more than five days. If the court grants the requested continuance, 
14.30 	the court shall also issue a written order continuing all provisions of the ex parte order 
14.31 	pending the issuance of an order after the hearing.
14.32 	(f) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subdivision, service on the respondent 
14.33 	may be made by one week published notice, as provided under section 645.11, provided 
15.1 	the petitioner files with the court an affidavit stating that an attempt at personal service 
15.2 	made by a sheriff or other law enforcement or corrections officer was unsuccessful because 
15.3 	the respondent is avoiding service by concealment or otherwise, and that a copy of the 
15.4 	petition and notice of hearing has been mailed to the respondent at the respondent's residence 
15.5 	or that the residence is not known to the petitioner. Service under this paragraph is complete 
15.6 	seven days after publication. The court shall set a new hearing date if necessary to allow 
15.7 	the respondent the five-day minimum notice required under paragraph (d).

15.8 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 6a, is amended to read:
15.9 		Subd. 6a.Subsequent orders and extensions. (a) Upon application, notice to all parties, 
15.10 	notice to any custodian, and hearing, the court may extend the relief granted in an existing 
15.11 	order for protection or, if a petitioner's order for protection is no longer in effect when an 
15.12 	application for subsequent relief is made, grant a new order. If the petitioner seeks only the 
15.13 	relief under subdivision 7, paragraph (a), a hearing is not required unless the court declines 
15.14 	to order the requested relief or the respondent requests a hearing. If a hearing is required, 
15.15 	subdivisions 5 and 7 apply to service of the application, notice to the parties and any 
15.16 	custodian, and time for the hearing.
15.17 	(b) The court may extend the terms of an existing order or, if an order is no longer in 
15.18 	effect, grant a new order upon a showing that:
15.19 	(1) the respondent has violated a prior or existing order for protection;
15.20 	(2) the petitioner is reasonably in fear of physical harm from the respondent;
15.21 	(3) the respondent has engaged in the act of harassment within the meaning of section 
15.22 	609.749, subdivision 2; or
15.23 	(4) the respondent is incarcerated and about to be released, or has recently been released 
15.24 	from incarceration.
15.25 	A petitioner does not need to show that physical harm is imminent to obtain an extension 
15.26 	or a subsequent order under this subdivision.
15.27 	(c) Relief granted by the order for protection may be for a period of up to 50 years, if 
15.28 	the court finds:
15.29 	(1) the respondent has violated a prior or existing order for protection on two or more 
15.30 	occasions; or
15.31 	(2) the petitioner has had two or more orders for protection in effect against the same 
15.32 	respondent.
16.1 	An order issued under this paragraph may restrain the abusing party from committing 
16.2 	acts of domestic abuse; or prohibit the abusing party from having any contact with the 
16.3 	petitioner, whether in person, by telephone, mail or electronic mail or messaging, through 
16.4 	electronic devices, through a third party, or by any other means.

16.5 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
16.6 		Subd. 7.Ex parte order. (a) Where an application under this section alleges an immediate 
16.7 	and present danger of domestic abuse, the court may grant an ex parte order for protection 
16.8 	and granting relief as the court deems proper, including an order:
16.9 	(1) restraining the abusing party from committing acts of domestic abuse;
16.10 	(2) excluding any party from the dwelling they share or from the residence of the other, 
16.11 	including a reasonable area surrounding the dwelling or residence, which area shall be 
16.12 	described specifically in the order, except by further order of the court;
16.13 	(3) excluding the abusing party from the place of employment of the petitioner or 
16.14 	otherwise limiting access to the petitioner by the abusing party at the petitioner's place of 
16.15 	employment;
16.16 	(4) ordering the abusing party to have no contact with the petitioner whether in person, 
16.17 	by telephone, mail, email, through electronic devices, or through a third party;
16.18 	(5) continuing all currently available insurance coverage without change in coverage or 
16.19 	beneficiary designation;
16.20 	(6) directing the care, possession, or control of a pet or companion animal owned, 
16.21 	possessed, or kept by a party or a child of a party; and
16.22 	(7) directing the respondent to refrain from physically abusing or injuring any pet or 
16.23 	companion animal, without legal justification, known to be owned, possessed, kept, or held 
16.24 	by either party or a minor child residing in the residence or household of either party as an 
16.25 	indirect means of intentionally threatening the safety of such person.
16.26 	(b) A finding by the court that there is a basis for issuing an ex parte order for protection 
16.27 	constitutes a finding that sufficient reasons exist not to require notice under applicable court 
16.28 	rules governing applications for ex parte relief.
16.29 	(c) Subject to paragraph (d), an ex parte order for protection shall be effective for a fixed 
16.30 	period set by the court, as provided in subdivision 6, paragraph (b), or until modified or 
16.31 	vacated by the court pursuant to a hearing. When signed by a referee, the ex parte order 
16.32 	becomes effective upon the referee's signature. Upon request, a hearing, as provided by this 
17.1 	section, shall be set. Except as provided in paragraph (d), the respondent shall be personally 
17.2 	served forthwith a copy of the ex parte order along with a copy of the petition and, if 
17.3 	requested by the petitioner, notice of the date set for the hearing. Any custodian must be 
17.4 	served with a copy of the ex parte order. Service on a custodian may be made by personal 
17.5 	service or by certified mail. If the petitioner does not request a hearing, an order served on 
17.6 	a respondent under this subdivision must include a notice advising the respondent of the 
17.7 	right to request a hearing, must be accompanied by a form that can be used by the respondent 
17.8 	to request a hearing and must include a conspicuous notice that a hearing will not be held 
17.9 	unless requested by the respondent within five days of service of the order.
17.10 	(d) Service of the ex parte order on the respondent may be made by published notice, 
17.11 	as provided under subdivision 5, provided that the petitioner files the affidavit required 
17.12 	under that subdivision. If personal service is not made or the affidavit is not filed within 14 
17.13 	days of issuance of the ex parte order, the order expires. If the petitioner does not request 
17.14 	a hearing, the petition mailed to the respondent's residence, if known, must be accompanied 
17.15 	by the form for requesting a hearing and notice described in paragraph (c). Unless personal 
17.16 	service is completed, if service by published notice is not completed within 28 days of 
17.17 	issuance of the ex parte order, the order expires. Notice that an order has expired under this 
17.18 	paragraph must be sent to any custodian.
17.19 	(e) If the petitioner seeks relief under subdivision 6 other than the relief described in 
17.20 	paragraph (a), the petitioner must request a hearing to obtain the additional relief.
17.21 	(f) Nothing in this subdivision affects the right of a party to seek modification of an 
17.22 	order under subdivision 11.

17.23 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
17.24 		Subd. 8.Service; alternate service; publication; notice. (a) The petition and any order 
17.25 	issued under this section other than orders for dismissal shall be served on the respondent 
17.26 	personally, or if the respondent appears remotely for a hearing and is notified at the hearing 
17.27 	by the judicial officer that an order for protection will be issued, the order may be served 
17.28 	on the respondent electronically or by first class mail, as ordered by the court. Orders for 
17.29 	dismissal may be served on the respondent personally or by certified mail. In lieu of personal 
17.30 	service of an order for protection, a law enforcement officer may serve a person respondent
17.31 	with a short-form notification as provided in subdivision 8a. The petition and any order 
17.32 	issued under this section may be served on any custodian personally or by certified mail.
17.33 	(b) When service is made out of this state and in the United States, it may be proved by 
17.34 	the affidavit of the person making the service. When service is made outside the United 
18.1 	States, it may be proved by the affidavit of the person making the service, taken before and 
18.2 	certified by any United States minister, charge d'affaires, commissioner, consul, or 
18.3 	commercial agent, or other consular or diplomatic officer of the United States appointed to 
18.4 	reside in the other country, including all deputies or other representatives of the officer 
18.5 	authorized to perform their duties; or before an office authorized to administer an oath with 
18.6 	the certificate of an officer of a court of record of the country in which the affidavit is taken 
18.7 	as to the identity and authority of the officer taking the affidavit.
18.8 	(c) If personal service cannot be made on a respondent, the court may order service of 
18.9 	the petition and any order issued under this section by alternate means, or by publication, 
18.10 	which publication must be made as in other actions. The application for alternate service 
18.11 	must include the last known location of the respondent; the petitioner's most recent contacts 
18.12 	with the respondent; the last known location of the respondent's employment; the names 
18.13 	and locations of the respondent's parents, siblings, children, and other close relatives; the 
18.14 	names and locations of other persons who are likely to know the respondent's whereabouts; 
18.15 	and a description of efforts to locate those persons.
18.16 	The court shall consider the length of time the respondent's location has been unknown, 
18.17 	the likelihood that the respondent's location will become known, the nature of the relief 
18.18 	sought, and the nature of efforts made to locate the respondent. The court shall order service 
18.19 	by first class mail, forwarding address requested, to any addresses where there is a reasonable 
18.20 	possibility that mail or information will be forwarded or communicated to the respondent.
18.21 	The court may also order publication, within or without the state, but only if it might 
18.22 	reasonably succeed in notifying the respondent of the proceeding. Service shall be deemed 
18.23 	complete 14 days after mailing or 14 days after court-ordered publication.
18.24 	(d) A petition and any order issued under this section, including the short-form 
18.25 	notification, must include a notice to the respondent that if an order for protection is issued 
18.26 	to protect the petitioner or a child of the parties, upon request of the petitioner in any 
18.27 	parenting time proceeding, the court shall consider the order for protection in making a 
18.28 	decision regarding parenting time.

18.29 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 8a, is amended to read:
18.30 		Subd. 8a.Short-form notification. (a) In lieu of personal service of an order for 
18.31 	protection under subdivision 8, a law enforcement officer may serve a person respondent
18.32 	with a short-form notification. The short-form notification must include the following 
18.33 	clauses: the respondent's name; the respondent's date of birth, if known; the petitioner's 
18.34 	name; the names of other protected parties; the date and county in which the ex parte order 
19.1 	for protection or order for protection was filed; the court file number; the hearing date and 
19.2 	time, if known; the conditions that apply to the respondent, either in checklist form or 
19.3 	handwritten; and the name of the judge who signed the order.
19.4 	The short-form notification must be in bold print in the following form:
19.5 	The order for protection is now enforceable. You must report to your nearest sheriff 
19.6 	office or county court to obtain a copy of the order for protection. You are subject to arrest 
19.7 	and may be charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony if you violate any 
19.8 	of the terms of the order for protection or this short-form notification.
19.9 	(b) Upon verification of the identity of the respondent and the existence of an unserved 
19.10 	order for protection against the respondent, a law enforcement officer may detain the 
19.11 	respondent for a reasonable time necessary to complete and serve the short-form notification.
19.12 	(c) When service is made by short-form notification, it may be proved by the affidavit 
19.13 	of the law enforcement officer making the service.
19.14 	(d) For service under this section only, service upon an individual may occur at any

19.23 	in possession of the dwelling or residence, or otherwise assist in execution or service of the 
19.24 	order of protection. If the application for relief is brought in a county in which the respondent 
19.25 	is not present, the sheriff shall forward the pleadings necessary for service upon the 
19.26 	respondent to the sheriff of the county in which the respondent is present. This transmittal 
19.27 	must be expedited to allow for timely service.

19.28 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 9a, is amended to read:
19.29 		Subd. 9a.Personal service by others; procedures; cost; reasonable efforts and

20.4 	If the application for relief is brought in a county in which the respondent is not present, 
20.5 	the sheriff of the county where the application for relief was brought shall forward the 
20.6 	pleadings necessary for service upon the respondent to the sheriff of the county in which 
20.7 	the respondent is present. This transmittal must be expedited to allow for timely service.
20.8 	(c) Peace officers licensed by the state of Minnesota and corrections officers, including, 
20.9 	but not limited to, probation officers, court services officers, parole officers, and employees 
20.10 	of jails or correctional facilities, may serve an order for protection on a respondent or any 
20.11 	custodian and must, to the extent possible, provide any sheriff, law enforcement officer, or 
20.12 	other peace officer attempting to effectuate service with relevant information regarding 
20.13 	where a respondent may be found, such as the respondent's residence, the respondent's place 
20.14 	of employment or schooling, or other locations frequented by the respondent.
20.15 	(d) The court administrator, the sheriff of any county in this state, and any other law 
20.16 	enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer shall perform the duties relating 
20.17 	to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct payment of the 
20.18 	reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server when the sheriff 
20.19 	or other law enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer is unavailable or if 
20.20 	service is made by publication, without requiring the petitioner to make application under 
20.21 	section 563.01.
20.22 	(e) A sheriff, law enforcement officer, or any other peace officer must make reasonable 
20.23 	efforts to locate a respondent to effectuate service. Reasonable efforts may include:
20.24 	(1) a search of any information that is publicly available;
20.25 	(2) a search of any government data in a database to which the sheriff, law enforcement 
20.26 	officer, or other peace officer has access, provided the data is classified as public data on 
20.27 	individuals as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 15, or is otherwise available to criminal 
20.28 	justice agencies, as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3a; and
20.29 	(3) communication with any court administrator, the sheriff of any county in this state, 
20.30 	and any other law enforcement officer, peace officer, or corrections officer.

21.1 	served order or notification to the respondent's probation officer, supervised release or 
21.2 	conditional release agent, or parole officer.

21.3 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, subdivision 11, is amended to read:
21.4 		Subd. 11.Modifying or vacating order. (a) Upon application, notice to all parties, 
21.5 	notice to any custodian, and hearing, the court may modify the terms of an existing order 
21.6 	for protection.
21.7 	(b) If the court orders relief under subdivision 6a, paragraph (c), the respondent named 
21.8 	in the order for protection may request to have the order vacated or modified if the order 
21.9 	has been in effect for at least five years and the respondent has not violated the order during 
21.10 	that time. Application for relief under this subdivision must be made in the county in which 
21.11 	the order for protection was issued. Upon receipt of the request, the court shall set a hearing 
21.12 	date. Personal service must be made upon the petitioner named in the order for protection 
21.13 	not less than 30 days before the date of the hearing. Notice of the request and hearing may 
21.14 	be made on any custodian personally or by certified mail. At the hearing, the respondent 
21.15 	named in the order for protection has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the 
21.16 	evidence that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the reasons upon 
21.17 	which the court relied in granting or extending the order for protection no longer apply and 
21.18 	are unlikely to occur. If the court finds that the respondent named in the order for protection 
21.19 	has met the burden of proof, the court may vacate or modify the order. If the court finds 
21.20 	that the respondent named in the order for protection has not met the burden of proof, the 
21.21 	court shall deny the request and no request may be made to vacate or modify the order for 
21.22 	protection until five years have elapsed from the date of denial. An order vacated or modified 
21.23 	under this paragraph must be personally served on the petitioner named in the order for 
21.24 	protection and may be served on any custodian personally or by certified mail.

21.25 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 518B.01, is amended by adding a subdivision 
21.26 	to read:
21.27 		Subd. 11a.Notice to custodian; Safe at Home participants; failure not a bar to 
21.28 	enforcement. (a) A custodian who is a program participant as defined in section 5B.02, 
21.29 	paragraph (g), may direct the court to use the address designated by the secretary of state 
21.30 	as the address of the program participant. Section 5B.03, subdivision 1, clause (3), applies 
21.31 	to service of any notice, order, or other document required to be served under this section. 
21.32 	The protections, limitations, and requirements in chapter 5B apply to any information 
21.33 	regarding a custodian who is a program participant.
22.1 	(b) Failure to serve a custodian with a petition, order for protection, dismissal, or any 
22.2 	other order must not prevent any order from taking effect or otherwise invalidate any order 
22.3 	issued pursuant to this section. In the event that service of a notice of a hearing is not 
22.4 	completed on any custodian at least 24 hours prior to the time set for the hearing, the court 
22.5 	may set a new hearing date no more than five days later.

22.6 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 595.02, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
22.7 		Subdivision 1.Competency of witnesses. Every person of sufficient understanding, 
22.8 	including a party, may testify in any action or proceeding, civil or criminal, in court or 
22.9 	before any person who has authority to receive evidence, except as provided in this 
22.10 	subdivision:
22.11 	(a) A husband cannot be examined for or against his wife without her consent, nor a 
22.12 	wife for or against her husband without his consent, nor can either, during the marriage or 
22.13 	afterwards, without the consent of the other, be examined as to any communication made 
22.14 	by one to the other during the marriage. This exception does not apply to a civil action or 
22.15 	proceeding by one against the other, nor to a criminal action or proceeding for a crime 
22.16 	committed by one against the other or against a child of either or against a child under the 
22.17 	care of either spouse, nor to a criminal action or proceeding in which one is charged with 
22.18 	homicide or an attempt to commit homicide and the date of the marriage of the defendant 
22.19 	is subsequent to the date of the offense, nor to an action or proceeding for nonsupport, 
22.20 	neglect, dependency, or termination of parental rights.
22.21 	(b) An attorney cannot, without the consent of the attorney's client, be examined as to 
22.22 	any communication made by the client to the attorney or the attorney's advice given thereon 
22.23 	in the course of professional duty; nor can any employee of the attorney be examined as to 
22.24 	the communication or advice, without the client's consent.
22.25 	(c) A member of the clergy or other minister of any religion shall not, without the consent 
22.26 	of the party making the confession, be allowed to disclose a confession made to the member 
22.27 	of the clergy or other minister in a professional character, in the course of discipline enjoined 
22.28 	by the rules or practice of the religious body to which the member of the clergy or other 
22.29 	minister belongs; nor shall a member of the clergy or other minister of any religion be 
22.30 	examined as to any communication made to the member of the clergy or other minister by 
22.31 	any person seeking religious or spiritual advice, aid, or comfort or advice given thereon in 
22.32 	the course of the member of the clergy's or other minister's professional character, without 
22.33 	the consent of the person.
23.1 	(d) A licensed physician or surgeon, dentist, or chiropractor shall not, without the consent 
23.2 	of the patient, be allowed to disclose any information or any opinion based thereon which 
23.3 	the professional acquired in attending the patient in a professional capacity, and which was 
23.4 	necessary to enable the professional to act in that capacity; after the decease of the patient, 
23.5 	in an action to recover insurance benefits, where the insurance has been in existence two 
23.6 	years or more, the beneficiaries shall be deemed to be the personal representatives of the 
23.7 	deceased person for the purpose of waiving this privilege, and no oral or written waiver of 
23.8 	the privilege shall have any binding force or effect except when made upon the trial or 
23.9 	examination where the evidence is offered or received.
23.10 	(e) A public officer shall not be allowed to disclose communications made to the officer 
23.11 	in official confidence when the public interest would suffer by the disclosure.
23.12 	(f) Persons of unsound mind and persons intoxicated at the time of their production for 
23.13 	examination are not competent witnesses if they lack capacity to remember or to relate 
23.14 	truthfully facts respecting which they are examined.
23.15 	(g) A registered nurse, psychologist, consulting psychologist, or licensed social worker 
23.16 	engaged in a psychological or social assessment or treatment of an individual at the 
23.17 	individual's request shall not, without the consent of the professional's client, be allowed to 
23.18 	disclose any information or opinion based thereon which the professional has acquired in 
23.19 	attending the client in a professional capacity, and which was necessary to enable the 
23.20 	professional to act in that capacity. Nothing in this clause exempts licensed social workers 
23.21 	from compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
23.22 	(h) An interpreter for a person disabled in communication shall not, without the consent 
23.23 	of the person, be allowed to disclose any communication if the communication would, if 
23.24 	the interpreter were not present, be privileged. For purposes of this section, a "person disabled 
23.25 	in communication" means a person who, because of a hearing, speech or other communication 
23.26 	disorder, or because of the inability to speak or comprehend the English language, is unable 
23.27 	to understand the proceedings in which the person is required to participate. The presence 
23.28 	of an interpreter as an aid to communication does not destroy an otherwise existing privilege.
23.29 	(i) Licensed chemical dependency counselors shall not disclose information or an opinion 
23.30 	based on the information which they acquire from persons consulting them in their 
23.31 	professional capacities, and which was necessary to enable them to act in that capacity, 
23.32 	except that they may do so:
24.1 	(1) when informed consent has been obtained in writing, except in those circumstances 
24.2 	in which not to do so would violate the law or would result in clear and imminent danger 
24.3 	to the client or others;
24.4 	(2) when the communications reveal the contemplation or ongoing commission of a 
24.5 	crime; or
24.6 	(3) when the consulting person waives the privilege by bringing suit or filing charges 
24.7 	against the licensed professional whom that person consulted.
24.8 	(j) A parent or the parent's minor child may not be examined as to any communication 
24.9 	made in confidence by the minor to the minor's parent. A communication is confidential if 
24.10 	made out of the presence of persons not members of the child's immediate family living in 
24.11 	the same household. This exception may be waived by express consent to disclosure by a 
24.12 	parent entitled to claim the privilege or by the child who made the communication or by 
24.13 	failure of the child or parent to object when the contents of a communication are demanded. 
24.14 	This exception does not apply to a civil action or proceeding by one spouse against the other 
24.15 	or by a parent or child against the other, nor to a proceeding to commit either the child or 
24.16 	parent to whom the communication was made or to place the person or property or either 
24.17 	under the control of another because of an alleged mental or physical condition, nor to a 
24.18 	criminal action or proceeding in which the parent is charged with a crime committed against 
24.19 	the person or property of the communicating child, the parent's spouse, or a child of either 
24.20 	the parent or the parent's spouse, or in which a child is charged with a crime or act of 
24.21 	delinquency committed against the person or property of a parent or a child of a parent, nor 
24.22 	to an action or proceeding for termination of parental rights, nor any other action or 
24.23 	proceeding on a petition alleging child abuse, child neglect, abandonment or nonsupport 
24.24 	by a parent.
24.25 	(k) Sexual assault counselors may not be allowed to disclose any opinion or information 
24.26 	received from or about the victim without the consent of the victim. However, a counselor 
24.27 	may be compelled to identify or disclose information in investigations or proceedings related 
24.28 	to neglect or termination of parental rights if the court determines good cause exists. In 
24.29 	determining whether to compel disclosure, the court shall weigh the public interest and need 
24.30 	for disclosure against the effect on the victim, the treatment relationship, and the treatment 
24.31 	services if disclosure occurs. Nothing in this clause exempts sexual assault counselors from 
24.32 	compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
24.33 	"Sexual assault counselor" for the purpose of this section means a person who has 
24.34 	undergone at least 40 hours of crisis counseling training and works under the direction of 
25.1 	a supervisor in a crisis center, whose primary purpose is to render advice, counseling, or 
25.2 	assistance to victims of sexual assault.
25.3 	(l) A domestic abuse advocate may shall not, without the consent of the victim, be 
25.4 	compelled allowed to disclose any opinion or information received from or about the victim 
25.5 	without the consent of the victim unless ordered by the court which the advocate acquired 
25.6 	in attending the victim in a professional capacity. In determining whether to compel 
25.7 	disclosure, the court shall weigh the public interest and need for disclosure against the effect 
25.8 	on the victim, the relationship between the victim and domestic abuse advocate, and the 
25.9 	services if disclosure occurs. Nothing in this paragraph exempts domestic abuse advocates 
25.10 	from compliance with the provisions of section 626.557 and chapter 260E.
25.11 	For the purposes of this section, "domestic abuse advocate" means an employee or 
25.12 	supervised volunteer from a community-based battered women's shelter and domestic abuse 
25.13 	program eligible to receive grants under section 611A.32; that provides information, 
25.14 	advocacy, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, or support to victims of domestic abuse 
25.15 	and who is not employed by or under the direct supervision of a law enforcement agency, 
25.16 	a prosecutor's office, or by a city, county, or state agency.
25.17 	(m) A person cannot be examined as to any communication or document, including 
25.18 	work notes, made or used in the course of or because of mediation pursuant to an agreement 
25.19 	to mediate or a collaborative law process pursuant to an agreement to participate in 
25.20 	collaborative law. This does not apply to the parties in the dispute in an application to a 
25.21 	court by a party to have a mediated settlement agreement or a stipulated agreement resulting 
25.22 	from the collaborative law process set aside or reformed. A communication or document 
25.23 	otherwise not privileged does not become privileged because of this paragraph. This 
25.24 	paragraph is not intended to limit the privilege accorded to communication during mediation 
25.25 	or collaborative law by the common law.
25.26 	(n) A child under ten years of age is a competent witness unless the court finds that the 
25.27 	child lacks the capacity to remember or to relate truthfully facts respecting which the child 
25.28 	is examined. A child describing any act or event may use language appropriate for a child 
25.29 	of that age.
25.30 	(o) A communication assistant for a telecommunications relay system for persons who 
25.31 	have communication disabilities shall not, without the consent of the person making the 
25.32 	communication, be allowed to disclose communications made to the communication assistant 
25.33 	for the purpose of relaying.

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

26.1 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 609.35, is amended to read:
26.2 	609.35 COSTS OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
26.3 	(a) Costs incurred by a hospital or other emergency medical facility or by a physician, 
26.4 	sexual assault nurse examiner, forensic nurse, or other licensed health care provider for the 
26.5 	examination of a victim of criminal sexual conduct that occurred in the state shall be paid 
26.6 	by the state. These costs include, but are not limited to, the cost of the medical forensic 
26.7 	examination, associated tests and treatments relating to sexually transmitted infection, and 
26.8 	pregnancy status, including emergency contraception. A hospital, emergency medical facility, 
26.9 	or health care provider shall submit the costs for examination and any associated tests and 
26.10 	treatment to the Office of Justice Programs for payment. Upon receipt of the costs, the 
26.11 	commissioner shall provide payment to the facility or health care provider. Reimbursement 
26.12 	for an examination and any associated test and treatments shall not exceed $1,400. Beginning 
26.13 	on January 1, 2024, the maximum amount of an award shall be adjusted annually by the 
26.14 	inflation rate.
26.15 	(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the duties, responsibilities, or 
26.16 	liabilities of any insurer, whether public or private. The hospital or other licensed health 
26.17 	care provider performing the examination may seek insurance reimbursement from the 
26.18 	victim's insurer only if authorized by the victim. This authorization may only be sought 
26.19 	after the examination is performed. When seeking this authorization, the hospital or other 
26.20 	licensed health care provider shall inform the victim that if the victim does not authorize 
26.21 	this, the state is required by law to pay for the examination and that the victim is in no way 
26.22 	liable for these costs or obligated to authorize the reimbursement.
26.23 	(c) The applicability of this section does not depend upon whether the victim reports 
26.24 	the offense to law enforcement or the existence or status of any investigation or prosecution.
26.25 	(d) Requests for reimbursement and supporting documents are private data on individuals 
26.26 	as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 12.

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

26.30 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 3a, is amended to read:
26.31 		Subd. 3a.Filing fee; cost of service. The filing fees for a restraining order under this 
26.32 	section are waived for the petitioner and the respondent if the petition alleges acts that would 
26.33 	constitute a violation of section 609.749, subdivision 2, 3, 4, or 5, or sections 609.342 to 
27.1 	609.3451. The court administrator and any peace officer in this state shall perform their 
27.2 	duties relating to service of process without charge to the petitioner. The court shall direct 
27.3 	payment of the reasonable costs of service of process if served by a private process server 
27.4 	when a peace officer is unavailable or if service is made by publication.

27.5 	Sec. 23. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
27.6 		Subd. 5.Restraining order. (a) The court may issue a restraining order that provides 
27.7 	any or all of the following:
27.8 	(1) orders the respondent to cease or avoid the harassment of another person; or
27.9 	(2) orders the respondent to have no contact with another person.
27.10 	(b) The court may issue an order under paragraph (a) if all of the following occur:
27.11 	(1) the petitioner has filed a petition under subdivision 3;
27.12 	(2) a peace officer has served respondent with a copy of the temporary restraining order 
27.13 	obtained under subdivision 4, and with notice of the right to request a hearing, or service 
27.14 	has been made by publication under subdivision 3, paragraph (b); and
27.15 	(3) the court finds at the hearing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the 
27.16 	respondent has engaged in harassment.
27.17 	A restraining order may be issued only against the respondent named in the petition; except 
27.18 	that if the respondent is an organization, the order may be issued against and apply to all of 
27.19 	the members of the organization. If the court finds that the petitioner has had two or more 
27.20 	previous restraining orders in effect against the same respondent or the respondent has 
27.21 	violated a prior or existing restraining order on two or more occasions, relief granted by the 
27.22 	restraining order may be for a period of up to 50 years. In all other cases, relief granted by 
27.23 	the restraining order must be for a fixed period of not more than two years. When a referee 
27.24 	presides at the hearing on the petition, the restraining order becomes effective upon the 
27.25 	referee's signature.
27.26 	(c) An order issued under this subdivision must be personally served upon the respondent, 
27.27 	or if the respondent appears remotely for a hearing and is notified at the hearing by the 
27.28 	judicial officer that a restraining order will be issued, the order may be served on the 
27.29 	respondent electronically or by first class mail, as ordered by the court.
27.30 	(d) If the court orders relief for a period of up to 50 years under paragraph (a), the 
27.31 	respondent named in the restraining order may request to have the restraining order vacated 
27.32 	or modified if the order has been in effect for at least five years and the respondent has not 
28.1 	violated the order. Application for relief under this paragraph must be made in the county 
28.2 	in which the restraining order was issued. Upon receipt of the request, the court shall set a 
28.3 	hearing date. Personal service must be made upon the petitioner named in the restraining 
28.4 	order not less than 30 days before the date of the hearing. At the hearing, the respondent 
28.5 	named in the restraining order has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence 
28.6 	that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the reasons upon which the 
28.7 	court relied in granting the restraining order no longer apply and are unlikely to occur. If 
28.8 	the court finds that the respondent named in the restraining order has met the burden of 
28.9 	proof, the court may vacate or modify the order. If the court finds that the respondent named 
28.10 	in the restraining order has not met the burden of proof, the court shall deny the request and 
28.11 	no request may be made to vacate or modify the restraining order until five years have 
28.12 	elapsed from the date of denial. An order vacated or modified under this paragraph must 
28.13 	be personally served on the petitioner named in the restraining order.

28.14 	Sec. 24. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.748, subdivision 5b, is amended to read:
28.15 		Subd. 5b.Personal service by others; procedures; cost; reasonable efforts and 
28.16 	cooperation required. (a) Where personal service is required under this section, service 
28.17 	must comply with rule 4.03 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
28.18 	(b) In addition to peace officers, corrections officers, including but not limited to

49.30 		Subd. 10.Board of Peace Officers Standards and Training; receipt of 
49.31 	complaint. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1 to the contrary, when the 
49.32 	executive director or any member of the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training

50.11 	chief law enforcement officer to oversee and take responsibility for all railroad peace officers 
50.12 	employed by the railroad. The chief law enforcement officer of a railroad company must 
50.13 	be a Minnesota-licensed peace officer. Before appointing a railroad chief law enforcement 
50.14 	officer, the railroad must submit a request for license for a license-eligible applicant, or a 
50.15 	notice of appointment for an officer already licensed in Minnesota, to the Board of Peace 
50.16 	Officer Standards and Training attesting that the appointee has met all education, training, 
50.17 	and minimum selection standards in Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700. The appointee may 
50.18 	not exercise peace officer powers until the request for license or notification form is received 
50.19 	and approved by the board.
50.20 		Subd. 2.Railroad; employment of peace officers. After appointing a railroad chief 
50.21 	law enforcement officer, a railroad may employ railroad peace officers to aid and supplement 
50.22 	law enforcement agencies in the protection of property owned by or in the care, custody, 
50.23 	or control of a railroad and to protect the persons and property of railroad passengers and 
50.24 	employees.
50.25 		Subd. 3.Responsibilities of railroad company. A railroad company that employs 
50.26 	railroad peace officers must cooperate with the Board of Peace Officer Standards and 
50.27 	Training with respect to the board's authority to oversee peace officer licensing. Upon 
50.28 	request by the board, a railroad company that employs railroad peace officers must share 
50.29 	or produce any public, private, or confidential data that the board has the authority to request 
50.30 	from other state and local law enforcement agencies. Failure by the railroad company to 
50.31 	comply with the board's exercise of its regulatory and oversight authority may result in 
50.32 	implementation of sanctions as described in subdivision 7.
50.33 		Subd. 4.Duties of railroad chief law enforcement officer. A railroad chief law 
50.34 	enforcement officer has the same duties and responsibilities as the chief law enforcement 
51.1 	officer of any state or local law enforcement agency, including but not limited to appointing 
51.2 	and supervising peace officers, ensuring ongoing continuing education of peace officers, 
51.3 	maintaining agency and peace officer records, reporting misconduct and policy compliance, 
51.4 	and any other duty or responsibility described in chapter 626 or Minnesota Rules, chapter 
51.5 	6700.
51.6 		Subd. 5.Authority; limitation. (a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, a 
51.7 	railroad peace officer has all powers and privileges of a licensed peace officer in this state 
51.8 	in connection with the prevention, investigation, arrest, or prosecution of an offense occurring 
51.9 	on railroad property and involving injury to passengers or employees of a railroad or 
51.10 	involving an offense against property owned by or in the care, custody, or control of a 
51.11 	railroad. A railroad peace officer's law enforcement powers shall apply only on railroad 
51.12 	property, except that an officer may exercise the authority given to peace officers under 
51.13 	section 629.40, subdivisions 2 and 4. If a search warrant is obtained by a railroad peace 
51.14 	officer, the officer shall notify the chief of police of an organized full-time police department 
51.15 	of the municipality or, if there is no local chief of police, the sheriff or a deputy sheriff of 
51.16 	the county in which service of the warrant is to be made, prior to execution.
51.17 	(b) A railroad must not direct, require, or allow a railroad peace officer to enforce a 
51.18 	railroad's rules, policies, or procedures that are unrelated to the commission of a criminal 
51.19 	offense, or investigate any matter involving civil litigation by or against a railroad. A railroad 
51.20 	company that employs railroad peace officers must adopt or update any applicable policy 
51.21 	to be consistent with this paragraph and must provide a copy of the policy to the 
51.22 	representatives of any labor organization that represents employees of the railroad, including 
51.23 	but not limited to any labor organization subject to the Federal Railway Labor Act. 
51.24 	Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a railroad peace officer who makes a representation 
51.25 	of being a peace officer and performs or attempts to perform any of those acts is subject to 
51.26 	discipline as if the peace officer violated the standards of conduct set forth in Minnesota 
51.27 	Rules, chapter 6700.
51.28 		Subd. 6.Licensing. The Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training shall license 
51.29 	railroad peace officers appointed by the railroad's chief law enforcement officer under 
51.30 	subdivision 1 who meet the board's standards for peace officer licensure under chapter 626 
51.31 	and Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700. Except as otherwise provided in this section, railroad 
51.32 	peace officers are subject to all of the provisions applicable to peace officers under chapter 
51.33 	626 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 6700.
51.34 		Subd. 7.Immediate suspension of authority. At the sole discretion of the Board of 
51.35 	Peace Officer Standards and Training, the board may immediately suspend or revoke the 
52.1 	license of the chief law enforcement officer of a railroad company for any reason within 
52.2 	the board's jurisdiction. If the board suspends or revokes the license of the chief law 
52.3 	enforcement officer, the railroad's law enforcement agency shall be deemed disbanded and 
52.4 	the licenses of all peace officers on the railroad agency roster will be placed in inactive 
52.5 	status. The requirement to place a peace officer's license in inactive status does not apply 
52.6 	to a railroad peace officer who also works as a licensed peace officer for a different law 
52.7 	enforcement agency in Minnesota, but such an officer must no longer be designated a railroad 
52.8 	peace officer. Except as noted in this section, the licenses of railroad peace officers are 
52.9 	subject to the requirements, restrictions, and disciplinary procedures that apply to any other 
52.10 	licensed peace officer.
52.11 		Subd. 8.Compensation; benefits; fees. (a) A railroad peace officer shall be compensated 
52.12 	by the railroad by which the officer is employed.
52.13 	(b) A railroad peace officer is not entitled to receive any compensation, benefits, or other 
52.14 	remuneration provided or required to be provided to other licensed peace officers by this 
52.15 	state or any political subdivision or agency of this state.
52.16 	(c) A railroad peace officer may attend any training course offered to peace officers of 
52.17 	this state, provided that railroad peace officers pay reasonable tuition and costs.
52.18 		Subd. 9.Railroad liability.  A railroad company employing a railroad peace officer in 
52.19 	this state is liable for all acts, errors, and omissions of a railroad peace officer occurring in 
52.20 	the course and scope of the peace officer's employment by the railroad and shall indemnify 
52.21 	its peace officers for civil damages, penalties, or fines claimed or levied against the officer 
52.22 	according to section 181.970. Neither this state nor any political subdivision or agency of 
52.23 	the state is liable for any act, error, or omission of a railroad peace officer.
52.24 		Subd. 10.Construction. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or in any 
52.25 	way restrict the rights, powers, or privileges granted to a peace officer in this state who is 
52.26 	not a railroad peace officer.

68.1 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.166, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
68.2 		Subd. 3.Registration procedure. (a) Except as provided in subdivision 3a, a person 
68.3 	required to register under this section shall register with the corrections agent as soon as 
68.4 	the agent is assigned to the person. If the person does not have an assigned corrections agent 
68.5 	or is unable to locate the assigned corrections agent, the person shall register with the law 
68.6 	enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the person's primary address.
68.7 	(b) Except as provided in subdivision 3a, at least five days before the person starts living 
68.8 	at a new primary address, including living in another state, the person shall give written 
68.9 	notice of the new primary address to the assigned corrections agent or to the law enforcement 
68.10 	authority with which the person currently is registered. If the person will be living in a new 
68.11 	state and that state has a registration requirement, the person shall also give written notice 
68.12 	of the new address to the designated registration agency in the new state. A person required 
68.13 	to register under this section shall also give written notice to the assigned corrections agent 
68.14 	or to the law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the person's primary 
68.15 	address that the person is no longer living or staying at an address, immediately after the 
68.16 	person is no longer living or staying at that address. The written notice required by this 
68.17 	paragraph must be provided in person. The corrections agent or law enforcement authority 
68.18 	shall, within two business days after receipt of this information, forward it to the bureau. 
68.19 	The bureau shall, if it has not already been done, notify the law enforcement authority having 
68.20 	primary jurisdiction in the community where the person will live of the new address. If the 
68.21 	person is leaving the state, the bureau shall notify the registration authority in the new state 
68.22 	of the new address. The person's registration requirements under this section are suspended 
68.23 	after the person begins living in the new state and the bureau has confirmed the address in 
68.24 	the other state through the annual verification process on at least one occasion. The bureau 
68.25 	may also attempt to confirm the person's address in the other state by the following methods:
68.26 	(1) receipt of a verification letter from the law enforcement authority having primary 
68.27 	jurisdiction in the community where the person is now living, acknowledging the person's 
68.28 	address;
68.29 	(2) receipt of a written communication or verification letter from a criminal justice 
68.30 	agency confirming the person's location;
68.31 	(3) confirmation of the individual's compliance with registration requirements or 
68.32 	incarceration status in the new state via an online registry or website, if applicable; or
68.33 	(4) confirmation of the individual's motor vehicle records under United States Code, 
68.34 	title 18, section 2721, in the new state via the new state's documentation.
69.1 	The bureau is the sole determinant as to whether the information provided by any of the 
69.2 	methods in clauses (1) to (3) is sufficient for verification purposes and may use more than 
69.3 	one of these methods to satisfy the verification requirement. For purposes of this subdivision, 
69.4 	"criminal justice agency" means an agency of a state, a political subdivision, a federally 
69.5 	recognized Tribe, a United States territory, or the federal government charged with detection, 
69.6 	enforcement, prosecution, adjudication, or incarceration with respect to federal or state 
69.7 	criminal laws. The person's registration requirements under this section are reactivated if 
69.8 	the person resumes living in Minnesota and the registration time period described in 
69.9 	subdivision 6 has not expired.
69.10 	(c) A person required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (b), because the person 
69.11 	is working or attending school in Minnesota shall register with the law enforcement authority 
69.12 	that has jurisdiction in the area where the person works or attends school. In addition to 
69.13 	other information required by this section, the person shall provide the address of the school 
69.14 	or of the location where the person is employed. A person shall comply with this paragraph 
69.15 	within five days of beginning employment or school. A person's obligation to register under 
69.16 	this paragraph terminates when the person is no longer working or attending school in 
69.17 	Minnesota.
69.18 	(d) A person required to register under this section who works or attends school outside 
69.19 	of Minnesota shall register as a predatory offender in the state where the person works or 
69.20 	attends school. The person's corrections agent, or if the person does not have an assigned 
69.21 	corrections agent, the law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the 
69.22 	person's primary address shall notify the person of this requirement.

69.23 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.166, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
69.24 	read:
69.25 		Subd. 4d.Guardians, conservators, and power of attorney. Guardians and conservators 
69.26 	of persons required to register shall have the authority to complete all verification and 
69.27 	registration paperwork under this section and section 243.167 on the person's behalf. A 
69.28 	validly executed power of attorney under chapter 523 grants the attorney in fact the authority 
69.29 	to complete all verification and registration paperwork under this section and section 243.167 
69.30 	on behalf of a person required to register.

69.31 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 243.166, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
69.32 		Subd. 6.Registration period. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.165, 
69.33 	subdivision 1, and except as provided in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), a person required to 
70.1 	register under this section shall continue to comply with this section until ten years have 
70.2 	elapsed since the person initially registered in connection with the offense, or until the 
70.3 	probation, supervised release, or conditional release period expires, whichever occurs later. 
70.4 	For a person required to register under this section who is committed under section 253B.18, 
70.5 	Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 253B.185, or chapter 253D, the ten-year registration period 
70.6 	does not include the period of commitment.
70.7 	(b) If a person required to register under this section fails to provide the person's primary 
70.8 	address as required by subdivision 3, paragraph (b), fails to comply with the requirements 
70.9 	of subdivision 3a, fails to provide information as required by subdivision 4a, or fails to 
70.10 	return the verification form referenced in subdivision 4 within ten days, the commissioner 
70.11 	of public safety shall require the person to continue to register for an additional period of 
70.12 	five years. This five-year period is added to the end of the offender's registration period.
70.13 	(c) If a person required to register under this section is incarcerated due to a conviction 
70.14 	for a new offense that requires registration under this section or section 243.167 or following 
70.15 	a revocation of probation, supervised release, or conditional release for anyan offense that 
70.16 	requires registration under this section or section 243.167, the person shall continue to 
70.17 	register until ten years have elapsed since the person was last released from incarceration 
70.18 	or until the person's probation, supervised release, or conditional release period expires, 
70.19 	whichever occurs later.
70.20 	(d) A person shall continue to comply with this section for the life of that person:
70.21 	(1) if the person is convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense for which 
70.22 	registration is required under subdivision 1b, or any offense from another state or any federal 
70.23 	offense similar to the offenses described in subdivision 1b, and the person has a prior 
70.24 	conviction or adjudication for an offense for which registration was or would have been 
70.25 	required under subdivision 1b, or an offense from another state or a federal offense similar 
70.26 	to an offense described in subdivision 1b;
70.27 	(2) if the person is required to register based upon a conviction or delinquency 
70.28 	adjudication for an offense under section 609.185, paragraph (a), clause (2), or a similar 
70.29 	statute from another state or the United States;
70.30 	(3) if the person is required to register based upon a conviction for an offense under 
70.31 	section 609.342, subdivision 1, clause (a) to (c) or (e), or subdivision 1a, clause (a) to (e) 
70.32 	or (h); 609.343, subdivision 1, clause (a) to (c) or (e), or subdivision 1a, clause (a) to (e) or 
70.33 	(h); 609.344, subdivision 1, clause (a) or (c), or subdivision 1a, clause (a), (c), (g), or (h); 
70.34 	or 609.345, subdivision 1, clause (a) or (c), or subdivision 1a, clause (a), (c), (g), or (h); or 
71.1 	a statute from another state or the United States similar to the offenses described in this 
71.2 	clause; or
71.3 	(4) if the person is required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (c), following 
71.4 	commitment pursuant to a court commitment under Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 
71.5 	253B.185, chapter 253D, Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 526.10, or a similar law of 
71.6 	another state or the United States.
71.7 	(e) A person described in subdivision 1b, paragraph (b), who is required to register under 
71.8 	the laws of a state in which the person has been previously convicted or adjudicated 
71.9 	delinquent, shall register under this section for the time period required by the state of 
71.10 	conviction or adjudication unless a longer time period is required elsewhere in this section.

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

71.14 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.052, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
71.15 		Subd. 4.Law enforcement agency; disclosure of information to public. (a) The law 
71.16 	enforcement agency in the area where the predatory offender resides, expects to reside, is 
71.17 	employed, or is regularly found, shall disclose to the public any information regarding the 
71.18 	offender contained in the report forwarded to the agency under subdivision 3, paragraph 
71.19 	(f), that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the offender's 
71.20 	dangerousness, consistent with the guidelines in paragraph (b). The extent of the information 
71.21 	disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must relate to the level of danger 
71.22 	posed by the offender, to the offender's pattern of offending behavior, and to the need of 
71.23 	community members for information to enhance their individual and collective safety.
71.24 	(b) The law enforcement agency shall employ the following guidelines in determining 
71.25 	the scope of disclosure made under this subdivision:
71.26 	(1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency may maintain information 
71.27 	regarding the offender within the agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement 
71.28 	agencies. Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any victims of or 
71.29 	witnesses to the offense committed by the offender. The agency shall disclose the information 
71.30 	to victims of the offense committed by the offender who have requested disclosure and to 
71.31 	adult members of the offender's immediate household;
71.32 	(2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the agency also may disclose the information 
71.33 	to agencies and groups that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose of securing 
72.1 	those institutions and protecting individuals in their care while they are on or near the 
72.2 	premises of the institution. These agencies and groups include the staff members of public 
72.3 	and private educational institutions, day care establishments, and establishments and 
72.4 	organizations that primarily serve individuals likely to be victimized by the offender. The 
72.5 	agency also may disclose the information to individuals the agency believes are likely to 
72.6 	be victimized by the offender. The agency's belief shall be based on the offender's pattern 
72.7 	of offending or victim preference as documented in the information provided by the 
72.8 	department of corrections or human services. The agency may disclose the information to 
72.9 	property assessors, property inspectors, code enforcement officials, and child protection 
72.10 	officials who are likely to visit the offender's home in the course of their duties;
72.11 	(3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the agency shall disclose the information 
72.12 	to the persons and entities described in clauses (1) and (2) and to other members of the 
72.13 	community whom the offender is likely to encounter, unless the law enforcement agency 
72.14 	determines that public safety would be compromised by the disclosure or that a more limited 
72.15 	disclosure is necessary to protect the identity of the victim.
72.16 	Notwithstanding the assignment of a predatory offender to risk level II or III, a law 
72.17 	enforcement agency may not make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or 
72.18 	(3), if: the offender is placed or resides in a residential facility. However, if an offender is 
72.19 	placed or resides in a residential facility, the offender and the head of the facility shall 
72.20 	designate the offender's likely residence upon release from the facility and the head of the 
72.21 	facility shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner of human services 
72.22 	of the offender's likely residence at least 14 days before the offender's scheduled release 
72.23 	date. The commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement agency having 
72.24 	jurisdiction over the offender's likely residence. The head of the residential facility also 
72.25 	shall notify the commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours after 
72.26 	finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a permanent residence. Within five 
72.27 	days after receiving this notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to the 
72.28 	appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the commissioner has 
72.29 	concerning the offender, including information on the risk factors in the offender's history 
72.30 	and the risk level to which the offender was assigned. After receiving this information, the 
72.31 	law enforcement agency shall make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or 
72.32 	(3), as appropriate.
72.33 	(c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely to encounter" means that:
72.34 	(1) the organizations or community members are in a location or in close proximity to 
72.35 	a location where the offender lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or is likely 
73.1 	to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the offender's outpatient treatment 
73.2 	program; and
73.3 	(2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that location and other circumstances 
73.4 	indicate that contact with the offender is reasonably certain.
73.5 	(d) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision 
73.6 	shall make a good faith effort to make the notification within 14 days of receipt of a 
73.7 	confirmed address from the Department of Corrections indicating that the offender will be, 
73.8 	or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for supervision, or has moved to a new 
73.9 	address and will reside at the address indicated. If a change occurs in the release plan, this 
73.10 	notification provision does not require an extension of the release date.
73.11 	(e) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision 
73.12 	shall not disclose the identity or any identifying characteristics of the victims of or witnesses 
73.13 	to the offender's offenses.
73.14 	(f) A law enforcement agency shall continue to disclose information on an offender as 
73.15 	required by this subdivision for as long as the offender is required to register under section 
73.16 	243.166. This requirement on a law enforcement agency to continue to disclose information 
73.17 	also applies to an offender who lacks a primary address and is registering under section 
73.18 	243.166, subdivision 3a.
73.19 	(g) A law enforcement agency that is disclosing information on an offender assigned to 
73.20 	risk level III to the public under this subdivision shall inform the commissioner of corrections 
73.21 	what information is being disclosed and forward this information to the commissioner within 
73.22 	two days of the agency's determination. The commissioner shall post this information on 
73.23 	the Internet as required in subdivision 4b.
73.24 	(h) A city council may adopt a policy that addresses when information disclosed under 
73.25 	this subdivision must be presented in languages in addition to English. The policy may 
73.26 	address when information must be presented orally, in writing, or both in additional languages 
73.27 	by the law enforcement agency disclosing the information. The policy may provide for 
73.28 	different approaches based on the prevalence of non-English languages in different 
73.29 	neighborhoods.
73.30 	(i) An offender who is the subject of a community notification meeting held pursuant 
73.31 	to this section may not attend the meeting.
73.32 	(j) When a school, day care facility, or other entity or program that primarily educates 
73.33 	or serves children receives notice under paragraph (b), clause (3), that a level III predatory 
74.1 	offender resides or works in the surrounding community, notice to parents must be made 
74.2 	as provided in this paragraph. If the predatory offender identified in the notice is participating 
74.3 	in programs offered by the facility that require or allow the person to interact with children 
74.4 	other than the person's children, the principal or head of the entity must notify parents with 
74.5 	children at the facility of the contents of the notice received pursuant to this section. The 
74.6 	immunity provisions of subdivision 7 apply to persons disclosing information under this 
74.7 	paragraph.
74.8 	(k) When an offender for whom notification was made under this subdivision no longer 
74.9 	resides, is employed, or is regularly found in the area, and the law enforcement agency that 
74.10 	made the notification is aware of this, the agency shall inform the entities and individuals 
74.11 	initially notified of the change in the offender's status. If notification was made under 
74.12 	paragraph (b), clause (3), the agency shall provide the updated information required under 
74.13 	this paragraph in a manner designed to ensure a similar scope of dissemination. However, 
74.14 	the agency is not required to hold a public meeting to do so.

74.15 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.052, subdivision 4a, is amended to read:
74.16 		Subd. 4a.Level III offenders; location of residence. (a) When an offender assigned 
74.17 	to risk level III is released from confinement or a residential facility to reside in the 
74.18 	community or changes residence while on supervised or conditional release, the agency 
74.19 	responsible for the offender's supervision shall:
74.20 	(1) take into consideration the proximity of the offender's residence to that of other level 
74.21 	III offenders and if the proximity presents a risk of reoffending;
74.22 	(2) take into consideration the proximity to of the offender's residence to the following 
74.23 	locations if the locations present a risk of reoffending:
74.24 	(i) schools;
74.25 	(ii)child care facilities or family or group family day care programs;
74.26 	(iii) licensed residences for vulnerable adults;
74.27 	(iv) attractions within public parks that are regularly used by minors, including but not 
74.28 	limited to playgrounds or athletic fields; and
74.29 	(v) community centers and recreation centers that are regularly used in youth athletic 
74.30 	activities or offer regularly scheduled indoor playtimes or access to gymnasiums and other 
74.31 	facilities that are restricted to minors; and,
75.1 	(3) to the greatest extent feasible, shall mitigate the concentration of level III offenders 
75.2 	and concentration of level III offenders near schools the locations listed in clause (2) when 
75.3 	the concentration presents a risk of reoffending.
75.4 	(b) If the owner or property manager of a hotel, motel, lodging establishment, or 
75.5 	apartment building has an agreement with an agency that arranges or provides shelter for 
75.6 	victims of domestic abuse, the owner or property manager may not knowingly rent rooms 
75.7 	to both level III offenders and victims of domestic abuse at the same time. If the owner or 
75.8 	property manager has an agreement with an agency to provide housing to domestic abuse 
75.9 	victims and discovers or is informed that a tenant is a level III offender after signing a lease 
75.10 	or otherwise renting to the offender, the owner or property manager may evict the offender.

75.11 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 260B.198, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
75.12 		Subd. 7.Continuance. (a) When it is in the best interests of the child to do so and not 
75.13 	inimical to public safety and when the child has admitted the allegations contained in the 
75.14 	petition before the judge or referee, or when a hearing has been held as provided for in 
75.15 	section 260B.163 and the allegations contained in the petition have been duly proven but, 
75.16 	in either case, before a finding of delinquency has been entered, the court may continue the

75.22 	provisions of subdivision 1, except clause (4), or enter an order to hold the child in detention 
75.23 	for a period not to exceed 15 days on any one order for the purpose of completing any

75.25 	of section 260B.157.
75.26 	(b) A prosecutor may appeal a continuance ordered in contravention of this subdivision. 
75.27 	This subdivision does not extend the court's jurisdiction under section 260B.193 and does 
75.28 	not apply to an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
75.29 	(c) A continuance granted under paragraph (a) for a violation of section 609.342; 609.343;

75.31 	arising out of a delinquency petition based on one or more of those sections that would 
75.32 	require the child to register as a predatory offender under section 243.166 may be extended 
75.33 	for additional successive periods not to exceed a total of 24 months so the offender can 
75.34 	receive sex offender treatment, but only with the consent of the prosecutor and only after 
76.1 	the court has reviewed the case and entered its order for the additional continuance without

76.14 	correctional services under contract to a correctional agency may release to a law enforcement 
76.15 	agency the following data on defendants, parolees, or probationers: current address, dates 
76.16 	of entrance to and departure from agency programs, and dates and times of any absences, 
76.17 	both authorized and unauthorized, from a correctional program.
76.18 	(c) The responsible authority or its designee of a juvenile correctional agency may release 
76.19 	private or confidential court services data to a victim of a delinquent act to the extent the 
76.20 	data are necessary to enable the victim to assert the victim's right to request notice of release 
76.21 	under section 611A.06. The data that may be released include only the name, home address, 
76.22 	and placement site of a juvenile who has been placed in a juvenile correctional facility as

76.31 	(2) the commissioner or the commissioner's designee does not have the city or zip code; 
76.32 	or

77.3 	public safety.
77.4 	(e) Paragraph (d) applies only where the offender is serving a prison term for a qualified 
77.5 	domestic violence-related offense committed against the victim seeking notification.

77.6 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 241.021, subdivision 1, is amended 
77.7 	to read:
77.8 		Subdivision 1.Correctional facilities; inspection; licensing. (a) Except as provided 
77.9 	in paragraph (b), the commissioner of corrections shall inspect and license all correctional 
77.10 	facilities throughout the state, whether public or private, established and operated for the 
77.11 	detention and confinement of persons confined or incarcerated therein according to law 
77.12 	except to the extent that they are inspected or licensed by other state regulating agencies. 
77.13 	The commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules establishing minimum 
77.14 	standards for these facilities with respect to their management, operation, physical condition, 
77.15 	and the security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons confined or incarcerated 
77.16 	therein. These minimum standards shall include but are not limited to specific guidance 
77.17 	pertaining to:
77.18 	(1) screening, appraisal, assessment, and treatment for persons confined or incarcerated 
77.19 	in correctional facilities with mental illness or substance use disorders;

77.25 	or incarcerated in correctional facilities upon release;
77.26 	(7) a policy on referrals or transfers to medical or mental health care in a noncorrectional 
77.27 	institution;
77.28 	(8) use of segregation and mental health checks;
77.29 	(9) critical incident debriefings;
77.30 	(10) clinical management of substance use disorders and opioid overdose emergency 
77.31 	procedures;
78.1 	(11) a policy regarding identification of persons with special needs confined or 
78.2 	incarcerated in correctional facilities;
78.3 	(12) a policy regarding the use of telehealth;
78.4 	(13) self-auditing of compliance with minimum standards;
78.5 	(14) information sharing with medical personnel and when medical assessment must be 
78.6 	facilitated;
78.7 	(15) a code of conduct policy for facility staff and annual training;

78.9 	committed to the custody of the facility; and
78.10 	(17) dissemination of a rights statement made available to persons confined or 
78.11 	incarcerated in licensed correctional facilities.
78.12 	No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private 
78.13 	organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the 
78.14 	facility unless it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. Private 
78.15 	adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 13, if 
78.16 	the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with the authority and the facility meets 
78.17 	requirements of section 243.52.
78.18 	The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision 
78.19 	at least once every two years, except as otherwise provided, to determine compliance with 
78.20 	the minimum standards established according to this subdivision or other Minnesota statute 
78.21 	related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.
78.22 	The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum 
78.23 	standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory 
78.24 	progress toward substantial conformity and the standards not being met do not impact the 
78.25 	interests and well-being of the persons confined or incarcerated in the facility. A limited 
78.26 	license under subdivision 1a may be issued for purposes of effectuating a facility closure. 
78.27 	The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years. Unless otherwise specified by 
78.28 	statute, all licenses issued under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the 
78.29 	expiration date stated on the license.
78.30 	The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and 
78.31 	to persons confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may require the 
78.32 	officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the commissioner 
78.33 	deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner. Notwithstanding 
79.1 	chapter 13 or any other state law classifying or restricting access to data, the officers in 
79.2 	charge of these facilities must furnish all data available to the facility that the commissioner 
79.3 	deems necessary to conduct a review of any emergency or unusual occurrence at the facility. 
79.4 	Failure to provide or grant access to relevant information or statistics necessary to fulfill 
79.5 	inspection or emergency or unusual occurrence reviews, as requested by the commissioner, 
79.6 	may be grounds for the commissioner to take action against a correctional facility's license 
79.7 	under subdivision 1a, 1b, or 1c.
79.8 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all deaths of 
79.9 	individuals who died while committed to the custody of the facility, regardless of whether 
79.10 	the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the facility for medical care stemming 
79.11 	from an incident or need for medical care at the correctional facility, as soon as practicable, 
79.12 	but no later than 24 hours of receiving knowledge of the death, including any demographic 
79.13 	information as required by the commissioner.
79.14 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all other 
79.15 	emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including uses of force by facility 
79.16 	staff that result in substantial bodily harm or suicide attempts, to the commissioner of 
79.17 	corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any demographic information 
79.18 	as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections shall consult with the 
79.19 	Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the Minnesota Association of 
79.20 	Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the operations of an adult 
79.21 	correctional facility to define "use of force" that results in substantial bodily harm for 
79.22 	reporting purposes.
79.23 	The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the 
79.24 	Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each 
79.25 	inspection report publicly and on the department's website within 30 days of completing 
79.26 	the inspection. The education program offered in a correctional facility for the confinement 
79.27 	or incarceration of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner of education 
79.28 	before the commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.
79.29 	(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the 
79.30 	commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth 
79.31 	in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given 
79.32 	it in section 245A.02.
79.33 	(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional 
79.34 	facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
80.1 	substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or 
80.2 	license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different 
80.3 	correctional facilities.
80.4 	(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections' 
80.5 	authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
80.6 	funds under chapter 401, or to require counties to comply with operating standards the 
80.7 	commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that funding.
80.8 	(e) The department's inspection unit must report directly to a division head outside of 
80.9 	the correctional institutions division.

80.10 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 241.021, subdivision 1h, is amended to read:

80.26 	(6) the commissioner of administration or a designee;

81.5 	must periodically review the standards and modify them as needed. The group must report 
81.6 	the standards to the chairs and ranking minority members of the house of representatives 
81.7 	and senate committees with jurisdiction over public safety policy and finance by February

81.9 	(c) The group shall meet twice a year to review facility audit reports submitted to the 
81.10 	group by the agency's inspection unit. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the group 
81.11 	is entitled to review the full audit reports including nonpublic security information and

81.13 	audit report reports from the department's inspection unit, the group must make 
81.14 	recommendations to the commissioner. Within 45 days of receiving the group's 
81.15 	recommendations, the commissioner must reply in writing to the group's findings and 
81.16 	recommendations. The commissioner's response must explain whether the agency will 
81.17 	implement the group's recommendations, the timeline for implementation of the changes,

81.19 	(d) Beginning in 2023, the commissioner must include a written aggregate of the group's 
81.20 	recommendations based on each security audit and assessment of a state correctional facility

82.24 		Subd. 2.Health care decisions. The medical director of the Department of Corrections,

82.26 	may make a health care decision for an inmate incarcerated in a state correctional facility 
82.27 	or placed in an outside facility on conditional medical release if the inmate's attending 
82.28 	physician determines that the inmate lacks decision-making capacity and:

82.30 	care agent is not reasonably available to make the health care decision;
83.1 	(2) if there is a documented health care directive, the decision is consistent with that

83.9 		Subd. 2.Use of force. (a) Use of force must not be applied maliciously or sadistically 
83.10 	for the purpose of causing harm to a confined or incarcerated person.
83.11 	(b) Unless the use of deadly force is justified in this section, a correctional officer working 
83.12 	in an adult correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner of corrections

83.22 	them:
83.23 	(1) "choke hold" means a method by which a person applies sufficient pressure to a 
83.24 	person to make breathing difficult or impossible, and includes but is not limited to any 
83.25 	pressure to the neck, throat, or windpipe that may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce 
83.26 	intake of air. Choke hold also means applying pressure to a person's neck on either side of

83.30 	position; and
83.31 	(3) "deadly force" has the meaning given in section 609.066, subdivision 1.
84.1 	(d) Use of deadly force is justified only if an objectively reasonable correctional officer 
84.2 	would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time 
84.3 	and without the benefit of hindsight, that deadly force is necessary:
84.4 	(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided 
84.5 	that the threat:
84.6 	(i) can be articulated with specificity by the correctional officer;
84.7 	(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and
84.8 	(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
84.9 	(2) to effect the capture or prevent the escape of a person when the officer reasonably 
84.10 	believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the 
84.11 	threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.

84.12 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 244.05, subdivision 5, is amended

84.22 	has served the minimum term of imprisonment.
84.23 	(b) For cases involving multiple sentences, the board must grant or deny supervised 
84.24 	release as follows:
84.25 	(1) if an inmate is serving multiple sentences that are concurrent to one another, the 
84.26 	board must grant or deny supervised release on all unexpired sentences; and
84.27 	(2) notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if an inmate who was under the age 
84.28 	of 18 at the time of the commission of the relevant offenses and has served the minimum 
84.29 	term of imprisonment specified in subdivision 4b is serving multiple sentences that are 
84.30 	consecutive to one another, the board may grant or deny supervised release on one or more 
84.31 	sentences.
85.1 	(c) No less than three years before an inmate has served the applicable minimum term 
85.2 	of imprisonment, the board must assess the inmate's status and make programming 
85.3 	recommendations relevant to the inmate's release review. The commissioner must ensure 
85.4 	that any board programming recommendations are followed and implemented.
85.5 	(d) The board must conduct a supervised release review hearing as soon as practicable 
85.6 	before an inmate has served the applicable minimum term of imprisonment.
85.7 	(e) The board shall require the preparation of a community investigation report. The 
85.8 	report shall:

85.17 	supervised release decision regarding an inmate who was under 18 years of age at the time

85.24 	and place of the inmate's release review hearing. The victim has a right to submit an oral 
85.25 	or written statement at the review hearing. Notwithstanding chapter 13D, the board may 
85.26 	meet in closed session to receive and review a victim's statement, at the request of the victim. 
85.27 	The statement may summarize the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the crime and 
85.28 	give the victim's recommendation on whether the inmate should be given supervised release 
85.29 	at this time.
85.30 	(h) The board shall permit a prosecutor from the office that prosecuted the case to submit 
85.31 	a written statement in advance of the review hearing.
86.1 	(i) When considering whether to grant supervised release or parole to an inmate serving

86.12 	(9) information on the inmate's rehabilitation while incarcerated;

86.15 	relevant science on the neurological development of juveniles and information on the inmate's 
86.16 	maturity and development while incarcerated; and
86.17 	(12) any other relevant conduct of the inmate while incarcerated or before incarceration.

86.21 	(ii) the inmate has been assessed for substance use disorder needs and, if appropriate, 
86.22 	has successfully completed substance use disorder treatment; and

86.24 	successfully completed mental health treatment; and
86.25 	(2) a comprehensive individual release plan is in place for the inmate that:
86.26 	(i) ensures that, after release, the inmate will have suitable housing and receive appropriate 
86.27 	aftercare and community-based treatment; and
86.28 	(ii) includes a postprison employment or education plan for the inmate.
87.1 	(k) Supervised release or parole must be granted with a majority vote of the quorum 
87.2 	required under section 244.049, subdivision 3. If there is a tie vote, supervised release or 
87.3 	parole is granted only if the commissioner votes in favor of granting supervised release or 
87.4 	parole.
87.5 	(l) Within 30 days after a supervised release review hearing, the board must issue a 
87.6 	decision on granting release, including an explanation for the decision. If an inmate is serving 
87.7 	multiple sentences that are concurrent to one another, the board must grant or deny supervised 
87.8 	release on all sentences.
87.9 	(m) If the board does not grant supervised release, the explanation of that decision must 
87.10 	identify specific steps that the inmate can take to increase the likelihood that release will 
87.11 	be granted at a future hearing.
87.12 	(n) When granting supervised release under this subdivision, the board must set prerelease 
87.13 	conditions to be followed by the inmate, if time permits, before their actual release or before 
87.14 	constructive parole becomes effective. If the inmate violates any of the prerelease conditions, 
87.15 	the commissioner may rescind the grant of supervised release without a hearing at any time 
87.16 	before the inmate's release or before constructive parole becomes effective. A grant of 
87.17 	constructive parole becomes effective once the inmate begins serving the consecutive 
87.18 	sentence.
87.19 	(o) If the commissioner rescinds a grant of supervised release or parole, the board:
87.20 	(1) must set a release review date that occurs within 90 days of the commissioner's 
87.21 	rescission; and
87.22 	(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.
87.23 	(p) If the commissioner revokes supervised release or parole for an inmate serving a life 
87.24 	sentence, the revocation is not subject to the limitations under section 244.30 and the board:
87.25 	(1) must set a release review date that occurs within one year of the commissioner's final 
87.26 	revocation decision; and
87.27 	(2) by majority vote, may set a new supervised release date or set another review date.
87.28 	(q) The board may, by a majority vote, grant a person on supervised release or parole 
87.29 	for a life or indeterminate sentence a final discharge from their sentence in accordance with 
87.30 	section 243.05, subdivision 3. In no case, however, may a person subject to a mandatory 
87.31 	lifetime conditional release term under section 609.3455, subdivision 7, be discharged from 
87.32 	that term.
