13.21 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 13.825, subdivision 2, is amended 
13.22 	to read:
13.23 		Subd. 2.Data classification; court-authorized disclosure. (a) Data collected by a 
13.24 	portable recording system are private data on individuals or nonpublic data, subject to the 
13.25 	following:
13.26 	(1) data that record, describe, or otherwise document actions and circumstances 
13.27 	surrounding either the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty, if a 
13.28 	notice is required under section 626.553, subdivision 2, or the use of force by a peace officer 
13.29 	that results in substantial bodily harm, as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 7a, are 
13.30 	public;
14.1 	(2) data are public if a subject of the data requests it be made accessible to the public, 
14.2 	except that, if practicable, (i) data on a subject who is not a peace officer and who does not 
14.3 	consent to the release must be redacted, and (ii) data on a peace officer whose identity is 
14.4 	protected under section 13.82, subdivision 17, clause (a), must be redacted;
14.5 	(3) subject to paragraphs (b) to (d), portable recording system data that are active criminal

14.8 	(4) portable recording system data that are public personnel data under section 13.43, 
14.9 	subdivision 2, clause (5), are public; and
14.10 	(5) data that are not public data under other provisions of this chapter retain that 
14.11 	classification; and
14.12 	(6) data are public if the subject of the data is a public official, except that, if practicable:
14.13 	(i) data on a subject who is not a peace officer or  public official and who does not consent 
14.14 	to the release must be redacted; and
14.15 	(ii) data on a peace officer whose identity is protected under section 13.82, subdivision 
14.16 	17, clause (a), must be redacted.
14.17 	(b) Notwithstanding section 13.82, subdivision 7, when an individual dies as a result of 
14.18 	a use of force by a peace officer, an involved officer's law enforcement agency must allow 
14.19 	the following individuals, upon their request, to inspect all portable recording system data, 
14.20 	redacted no more than what is required by law, documenting the incident within five days 
14.21 	of the request, subject to paragraphs (c) and (d):
14.22 	(1) the deceased individual's next of kin;
14.23 	(2) the legal representative of the deceased individual's next of kin; and
14.24 	(3) the other parent of the deceased individual's child.
14.25 	(c) A law enforcement agency may deny a request to inspect portable recording system 
14.26 	data under paragraph (b) if the agency determines that there is a compelling reason that 
14.27 	inspection would interfere with an active investigation. If the agency denies access under 
14.28 	this paragraph, the chief law enforcement officer must provide a prompt, written denial to 
14.29 	the individual in paragraph (b) who requested the data with a short description of the 
14.30 	compelling reason access was denied and must provide notice that relief may be sought 
14.31 	from the district court pursuant to section 13.82, subdivision 7.
15.1 	(d) When an individual dies as a result of a use of force by a peace officer, an involved 
15.2 	officer's law enforcement agency shall release all portable recording system data, redacted 
15.3 	no more than what is required by law, documenting the incident no later than 14 days after 
15.4 	the incident, unless the chief law enforcement officer asserts in writing that the public 
15.5 	classification would interfere with an ongoing investigation, in which case the data remain 
15.6 	classified by section 13.82, subdivision 7.
15.7 	(e) A law enforcement agency may redact or withhold access to portions of data that are 
15.8 	public under this subdivision if those portions of data are clearly offensive to common 
15.9 	sensibilities.
15.10 	(f) Section 13.04, subdivision 2, does not apply to collection of data classified by this 
15.11 	subdivision.
15.12 	(g) Any person may bring an action in the district court located in the county where 
15.13 	portable recording system data are being maintained to authorize disclosure of data that are 
15.14 	private or nonpublic under this section or to challenge a determination under paragraph (e) 
15.15 	to redact or withhold access to portions of data because the data are clearly offensive to 
15.16 	common sensibilities. The person bringing the action must give notice of the action to the 
15.17 	law enforcement agency and subjects of the data, if known. The law enforcement agency 
15.18 	must give notice to other subjects of the data, if known, who did not receive the notice from 
15.19 	the person bringing the action. The court may order that all or part of the data be released 
15.20 	to the public or to the person bringing the action. In making this determination, the court 
15.21 	shall consider whether the benefit to the person bringing the action or to the public outweighs 
15.22 	any harm to the public, to the law enforcement agency, or to a subject of the data and, if 
15.23 	the action is challenging a determination under paragraph (e), whether the data are clearly 
15.24 	offensive to common sensibilities. The data in dispute must be examined by the court in 
15.25 	camera. This paragraph does not affect the right of a defendant in a criminal proceeding to 
15.26 	obtain access to portable recording system data under the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

15.27 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 171.174, is amended to read:

16.19 	(1) counsel the child or the parents, guardian, or custodian;
16.20 	(2) place the child under the supervision of a probation officer or other suitable person 
16.21 	in the child's own home under conditions prescribed by the court including reasonable rules

17.11 	make reasonable restitution for such damage and may offer the child an opportunity to 
17.12 	participate in a restorative process to satisfy the restitution obligation, where available;
17.13 	(6) require the child to pay a fine of up to $1,000. The court shall order payment of the

17.16 	(7) if the child is in need of special treatment and care for reasons of physical or mental 
17.17 	health, the court may order the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to provide it. If the

17.26 	safety that the child be authorized to apply for a new license, and the commissioner may so 
17.27 	authorize;
17.28 	(9) if the court believes that it is in the best interest of the child and of public safety that 
17.29 	the child is enrolled in school, the court may require the child to remain enrolled in a public 
17.30 	school until the child reaches the age of 18 or completes all requirements needed to graduate 
17.31 	from high school. Any child enrolled in a public school under this clause is subject to the 
17.32 	provisions of the Pupil Fair Dismissal Act in chapter 127;

18.5 	the commissioner to revoke the child's driver's license for the applicable time period specified 
18.6 	in section 152.0271. If the child does not have a driver's license or if the child's driver's

18.16 	professional assessment of the child's need for sex offender treatment. An assessor providing 
18.17 	an assessment for the court must be experienced in the evaluation and treatment of juvenile 
18.18 	sex offenders. If the assessment indicates that the child is in need of and amenable to sex 
18.19 	offender treatment, the court shall include in its disposition order a requirement that the 
18.20 	child undergo treatment. Notwithstanding section 13.384, 13.85, 144.291 to 144.298, or 
18.21 	260B.171, or chapter 260E, the assessor has access to the following private or confidential 
18.22 	data on the child if access is relevant and necessary for the assessment:

18.29 	may not be further disclosed to any other person, except as authorized by law; or
18.30 	(12) if the child is found delinquent due to the commission of an offense that would be 
18.31 	a felony if committed by an adult, the court shall make a specific finding on the record 
18.32 	regarding the juvenile's mental health and chemical dependency treatment needs.
19.1 	(b) Any order for a disposition authorized under this section shall contain written findings 
19.2 	of fact to support the disposition ordered and shall also set forth in writing the following 
19.3 	information:
19.4 	(1) why the best interests of the child are served by the disposition ordered; and
19.5 	(2) what alternative dispositions were considered by the court and why such dispositions 
19.6 	were not appropriate in the instant case. Clause (1) does not apply to a disposition under 
19.7 	subdivision 1a.

19.21 	of $100, the court may recommend to the commissioner of public safety or to the licensing 
19.22 	authority of another state the cancellation of the child's license until the child reaches the 
19.23 	age of 18 years, and the commissioner of public safety is hereby authorized to cancel the 
19.24 	license without hearing. At any time before the termination of the period of cancellation, 
19.25 	the court may, for good cause, recommend to the commissioner of public safety, or to the 
19.26 	licensing authority of another state, that the child's license be returned, and the commissioner 
19.27 	of public safety is authorized to return the license;
19.28 	(6) place the child under the supervision of a probation officer in the child's own home 
19.29 	under conditions prescribed by the court including reasonable rules relating to operation

19.31 	(7) if the child is found to have violated a state or local law or ordinance and the violation 
19.32 	resulted in damage to the person or property of another, the court may order the child to 
20.1 	make reasonable restitution for the damage and may offer the child an opportunity to 
20.2 	participate in a restorative process to satisfy the restitution obligation, where available;
20.3 	(8) require the child to pay a fine of up to $1,000. The court shall order payment of the 
20.4 	fine in accordance with a time payment schedule which shall not impose an undue financial 
20.5 	hardship on the child; or
20.6 	(9) if the court finds that the child committed an offense described in section 169A.20, 
20.7 	the court shall order that a chemical use assessment be conducted and a report submitted to 
20.8 	the court in the manner prescribed in section 169A.70. If the assessment concludes that the 
20.9 	child meets the level of care criteria for placement under rules adopted under section 254A.03,

20.11 	that level of care in its disposition order. In addition, the court may require any child ordered 
20.12 	to undergo an assessment to pay a chemical dependency assessment charge of $75. The 
20.13 	court shall forward the assessment charge to the commissioner of management and budget

32.6 	to read:
32.7 		Subdivision 1.Community supervision funding formula. (a) Beginning July 1, 2023, 
32.8 	the community supervision subsidy paid to each county, the commissioner for supervision 
32.9 	of non-CCA jurisdictions served by the Department of Corrections, and each applicable 
32.10 	Tribal Nation under paragraph (e) equals the sum of:
32.11 	(1) a base funding amount equal to $150,000; and
32.12 	(2) a community supervision formula equal to the sum of:
32.13 	(i) for each individual with a felony sentence, a felony per diem rate of $5.62 multiplied 
32.14 	by the sum of the county's or Tribal Nation's adult felony population, adult supervised 
32.15 	release and parole populations, and juvenile supervised release and parole populations as 
32.16 	reported in the most recent probation survey published by the commissioner, multiplied by

32.21 	populations as reported in the most recent probation survey published by the commissioner, 
32.22 	multiplied by 365.
32.23 	(b) For a non-CCA jurisdiction under section 244.19, subdivision 1b, paragraph (b) or

32.26 	(c) If in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section is more 
32.27 	than or less than the total of base funding plus community supervision formula funding for 
32.28 	all counties and applicable Tribal Nations, the sum of each county's and applicable Tribal 
32.29 	Nation's base funding plus community supervision formula funding is adjusted by the ratio 
32.30 	of amounts appropriated for this purpose divided by the total of base funding plus community 
32.31 	supervision formula funding for all counties and applicable Tribal Nations.
33.1 	(d) If in any year the base funding plus the community supervision formula amount 
33.2 	based on what was appropriated in fiscal year 2024 is less than the funding paid to the 
33.3 	county in fiscal year 2023, the difference is added to the community supervision formula 
33.4 	amount for that county. A county is not eligible for additional funding under this paragraph 
33.5 	unless the base funding plus community supervision formula results in an increase in funding 
33.6 	for the county based on what was appropriated in the previous fiscal year. This paragraph

33.13 	(1) has the Tribal Nation's funding amount of $250,000 transferred to the total community 
33.14 	supervision subsidy amount appropriated for the purposes of this section; and

33.16 	according to the community supervision formula under paragraph (a), clause (2).
33.17 	(f) Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act savings under section 244.50, 
33.18 	subdivision 4, clause (2), are appropriated to each CCA jurisdiction and non-CCA jurisdiction 
33.19 	served by the Department of Corrections by dividing the three-year average of the number 
33.20 	of individuals on supervised release and intensive supervised release within the jurisdiction 
33.21 	by the three-year average of the total number of individuals under supervised release and 
33.22 	intensive supervised release statewide, using the numbers reported annually in the Probation
