Minnesota Statutes 2009 Supplement, section 45.30, subdivision 6, is amended
to read:


Subd. 6.

Course approval.

(a) Courses must be approved by the commissioner in
advance. A course that is required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to receive
a substantive review will be approved or disapproved on the basis of its compliance with
the provisions of laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. At the commissioner's
discretion, a course that is not required by federal criteria or a reciprocity agreement to
receive a substantive review may be approved based on a qualified provider's certification
on a form specified by the commissioner that the course complies with the provisions of
this chapter and the laws and rules relating to the appropriate industry. For the purposes
of this section, a "qualified provider" is one of the following: (1) a degree-granting
institution of higher learning located within this state; (2) a private school licensed by the
Minnesota Office of Higher Education; or (3) when conducting courses for its members, a
bona fide trade association that staffs and maintains in this state a physical location that
contains course and student records and that has done so for not less than three years.
The commissioner may review any approved course and may cancel its approval with
regard to all future offerings. The commissioner must make the final determination as to
accreditation and assignment of credit hours for courses. Courses must be at least one hour
in length, except courses for real estate appraisers must be at least two hours in length.

deleted text begin Individuals wishing to receive credit for continuing education courses that have not
been previously approved may submit the course information for approval. Courses
must be in compliance with the laws and rules governing the types of courses that will
and will not be approved.
deleted text end

Approval will not include time spent on meals or other unrelated activities.

(b) Courses must be submitted at least 30 days before the initial proposed course
offering.

(c) Approval must be granted for a subsequent offering of identical continuing
education courses without requiring a new application. The commissioner must deny
future offerings of courses if they are found not to be in compliance with the laws relating
to course approval.

(d) When either the content of an approved course or its method of instruction
changes, the course is no longer approved for license education credit. A new application
must be submitted for the changed course if the education provider intends to offer it for
license education credit.

power to define "patron membership" for purposes of this paragraph. This paragraph
applies to securities, other than securities issued as patronage dividends, only when:

(i) the issuer, before the completion of the sale of the securities, provides each
offeree or purchaser disclosure materials that, to the extent material to an understanding of
the issuer, its business, and the securities being offered, substantially meet the disclosure
conditions and limitations found in rule 502(b) of Regulation D promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Code of Federal Regulations, title 17, section
230.502; and

(ii) within 15 days after the completion of the first sale in each offering completed in
reliance upon this exemption, the cooperative has filed with the administrator a consent to

$38,000,000 the first year is from the fiscal
stabilization account in the federal fund. This
is a onetime appropriation.

The general fund base for this program shall
be $326,085,000 in fiscal year 2012 and
$330,430,000 in fiscal year 2013.

(a) Treatment Alternatives; Report. By
December 15, 2009, the commissioner
must submit an electronic report to the
chairs and ranking minority members of
the house of representatives and senate
committees with jurisdiction over public
safety policy and finance concerning
alternative chemical dependency treatment
opportunities. The report must identify
alternatives that represent best practices in
chemical dependency treatment of offenders.
The report must contain suggestions for
reducing the length of time between
offender commitment to the custody of the
commissioner and graduation from chemical
dependency treatment. To the extent
possible, the report shall identify options
that will (1) reduce the cost of treatment;
(2) expand the number of treatment beds;
(3) improve treatment outcomes; and (4)
lower the rate of substance abuse relapse and
criminal recidivism.

(b) Challenge Incarceration; Maximum
Occupancy.
The commissioner shall work to
fill all available challenge incarceration beds
for both male and female offenders. If the
commissioner fails to fill at least 90 percent
of the available challenge incarceration beds
by December 1, 2009, the commissioner
must submit a report to the chairs and
ranking minority members of the house of
representatives and senate committees with
jurisdiction over public safety policy and
finance by January 15, 2010, explaining what
steps the commissioner has taken to fill the
beds and why those steps failed to reach the
goal established by the legislature.

(c) Institutional Efficiencies. The
commissioner shall strive for institutional
efficiencies and must reduce the fiscal year
2008 average adult facility per diem of
$89.77 by one percent. The base is cut by
$2,850,000 in the first year and $2,850,000
in the second year to reflect a one percent
reduction in the projected adult facility per
diem. In reducing the projected adult facility
per diem, the commissioner must consider
the following:

(1) cooperating with the state of Wisconsin
to obtain economies of scale;

(2) increasing the bed capacity of the
challenge incarceration program;

(3) increasing the number of nonviolent drug
offenders who are granted conditional release
under Minnesota Statutes, section 244.055;

(4) increasing the use of compassionate
release or less costly detention alternatives
for elderly and infirm offenders;

(5) discontinuing the department's practice
of annually assigning a warden to serve as
a legislative liaison during the legislative
session;

(6) consolidating staff from correctional
institutions in geographical proximity to each
other to achieve efficiencies and cost savings,
including wardens, deputy wardens, and
human resources, technology, and employee
development personnel;

(7) consolidating the department's human
resources, technology, and employee
development functions in a centralized
location;

(8) implementing corrections best practices;
and

(9) implementing cost-saving measures used
by other states and the federal government.

The commissioner must not eliminate
correctional officer positions or implement
any other measure that will jeopardize public
safety to achieve the mandated cost savings.
deleted text begin The commissioner also must not eliminate
treatment beds to achieve the mandated cost
savings.
deleted text end

(d) Per Diem Reduction. If the
commissioner fails to reduce the per diem by
one percent, the commissioner must:

(1) reduce the funding for operations support
by the amount of unrealized savings; and

(2) submit a report by February 15,
2010, to the chairs and ranking minority
members of the house of representatives
and senate committees with jurisdiction
over public safety policy and finance that
contains descriptions of what efforts the
commissioner made to reduce the per diem,
explanations for why those steps failed to
reduce the per diem by one percent, proposed
legislative options that would assist the
commissioner in reducing the adult facility
per diem, and descriptions of the specific
actions the commissioner took to reduce
funding in operations support.

If the commissioner reduces the per diem
by more than one percent, the commissioner
must use the savings to provide treatment to
offenders.

deleted text begin (e) Reductions to Certain Programming
Prohibited.
When allocating reductions
in services and programming under this
appropriation, the commissioner may not
make reductions to inmate educational
programs, chemical dependency programs,
or reentry programs.

subdivision 4b
, less the (i) county's share of transferred fines and fees collected by the
district courts in the county for calendar year 2001 and (ii) the aid amount certified to be
paid to the county in 2004 under section 273.1398, subdivision 4c; however, for taxes

state, the amount under this clause is limited to the amount of aid the county is certified to
receive under section 273.1398, subdivision 4a;

(15) to fund a police or firefighters relief association as required under section 69.77

recent federal census, whichever is greater. If the city or county uses this special levy, any
amount levied by the city or county in the previous levy year for the purposes specified
in this clause and included in the city's or county's previous year's levy limit computed
under section 275.71, must be deducted from the levy limit base under section 275.71,
subdivision 2
, in determining the city's or county's current year levy limit;

(18) for counties, to pay for the increase in their share of health and human service
costs caused by reductions in federal health and human services grants effective after

(19) for a city, for the costs reasonably and necessarily incurred for securing,
maintaining, or demolishing foreclosed or abandoned residential properties, as allowed by
the commissioner of revenue under section 275.74, subdivision 2. A city must have either
(i) a foreclosure rate of at least 1.4 percent in 2007, or (ii) a foreclosure rate in 2007 in
the city or in a zip code area of the city that is at least 50 percent higher than the average
foreclosure rate in the metropolitan area, as defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2,
to use this special levy. For purposes of this paragraph, "foreclosure rate" means the
number of foreclosures, as indicated by sheriff sales records, divided by the number of
households in the city in 2007;

(20) for a city, for the unreimbursed costs of redeployed traffic-control agents and

(d) For aids payable in 2010 and thereafter, the total aid for a city with a population
less than 2,500 must not be less than the amount it was certified to receive in the
previous year minus the lesser of $10 multiplied by its population, or five percent of its
2003 certified aid amount. For aids payable in 2009 only, the total aid for a city with a
population less than 2,500 must not be less than what it received under this section in the
previous year unless its total aid in calendar year 2008 was aid under section 477A.011,
subdivision 36, paragraph (s), in which case its minimum aid is zero.

(e) A city's aid loss under this section may not exceed $300,000 in any year in
which the total city aid appropriation under section 477A.03, subdivision 2a, is equal or
greater than the appropriation under that subdivision in the previous year, unless the
city has an adjustment in its city net tax capacity under the process described in section
469.174, subdivision 28.

(f) If a city's net tax capacity used in calculating aid under this section has decreased
in any year by more than 25 percent from its net tax capacity in the previous year due to
property becoming tax-exempt Indian land, the city's maximum allowed aid increase
under paragraph (c) shall be increased by an amount equal to (1) the city's tax rate in the
year of the aid calculation, multiplied by (2) the amount of its net tax capacity decrease
resulting from the property becoming tax exempt.
