Subd. 14.

Violation of an order for protection.

(a) A person who violates an
order for protection issued by a judge or referee is subject to the penalties provided
in paragraphs (b) to (d).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (d), whenever an order for
protection is granted by a judge or referee or pursuant to a similar law of another state,
the United States, the District of Columbia, tribal lands, or United States territories, and
the respondent or person to be restrained knows of the existence of the order, violation of
the order for protection is a misdemeanor. Upon a misdemeanor conviction under this
paragraph, the defendant must be sentenced to a minimum of three days imprisonment and
must be ordered to participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected by
the court. If the court stays imposition or execution of the jail sentence and the defendant
refuses or fails to comply with the court's treatment order, the court must impose and
execute the stayed jail sentence. A violation of an order for protection shall also constitute
contempt of court and be subject to the penalties provided in chapter 588.

(c) A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor who knowingly violates this
subdivision deleted text begin during the time period betweendeleted text end new text begin within ten years of new text end a previous qualified
domestic violence-related offense conviction deleted text begin and the end of the five years following
discharge from sentence for that offensedeleted text end new text begin or adjudication of delinquencynew text end . Upon a gross
misdemeanor conviction under this paragraph, the defendant must be sentenced to a
minimum of ten days imprisonment and must be ordered to participate in counseling or
other appropriate programs selected by the court. Notwithstanding section 609.135, the
court must impose and execute the minimum sentence provided in this paragraph for
gross misdemeanor convictions.

(d) A person is guilty of a felony and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not
more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both, if the
person knowingly violates this subdivision:

(1) deleted text begin during the time period betweendeleted text end new text begin within ten years of new text end the first of two or more
previous qualified domestic violence-related offense convictions deleted text begin and the end of the five
years following discharge from sentence for that offensedeleted text end new text begin or adjudications of delinquencynew text end ;
or

(2) while possessing a dangerous weapon, as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 6.

Upon a felony conviction under this paragraph in which the court stays imposition or
execution of sentence, the court shall impose at least a 30-day period of incarceration
as a condition of probation. The court also shall order that the defendant participate in
counseling or other appropriate programs selected by the court. Notwithstanding section
609.135, the court must impose and execute the minimum sentence provided in this
paragraph for felony convictions.

(e) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take into custody a person
whom the peace officer has probable cause to believe has violated an order granted
pursuant to this section or a similar law of another state, the United States, the District of
Columbia, tribal lands, or United States territories restraining the person or excluding the
person from the residence or the petitioner's place of employment, even if the violation
of the order did not take place in the presence of the peace officer, if the existence of the
order can be verified by the officer. The probable cause required under this paragraph
includes probable cause that the person knows of the existence of the order. If the order
has not been served, the officer shall immediately serve the order whenever reasonably
safe and possible to do so. An order for purposes of this subdivision, includes the short
form order described in subdivision 8a. When the order is first served upon the person
at a location at which, under the terms of the order, the person's presence constitutes a
violation, the person shall not be arrested for violation of the order without first being
given a reasonable opportunity to leave the location in the presence of the peace officer.
A person arrested under this paragraph shall be held in custody for at least 36 hours,
excluding the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, unless the person is released earlier by
a judge or judicial officer. A peace officer acting in good faith and exercising due care
in making an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is immune from civil liability that might
result from the officer's actions.

(f) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an order for protection and
that there is reason to believe that the respondent will commit a further violation of the
provisions of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of domestic abuse
or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's residence, the court may require the
respondent to acknowledge an obligation to comply with the order on the record. The court
may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from committing further violations
of the order for protection, considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not
to exceed $10,000. If the respondent refuses to comply with an order to acknowledge the
obligation or post a bond under this paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to
the county jail during the term of the order for protection or until the respondent complies
with the order under this paragraph. The warrant must state the cause of commitment,
with the sum and time for which any bond is required. If an order is issued under this
paragraph, the court may order the costs of the contempt action, or any part of them, to be
paid by the respondent. An order under this paragraph is appealable.

(g) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any peace officer, or an interested
party designated by the court, alleging that the respondent has violated any order for
protection granted pursuant to this section or a similar law of another state, the United
States, the District of Columbia, tribal lands, or United States territories, the court may
issue an order to the respondent, requiring the respondent to appear and show cause within
14 days why the respondent should not be found in contempt of court and punished
therefor. The hearing may be held by the court in any county in which the petitioner or
respondent temporarily or permanently resides at the time of the alleged violation, or in
the county in which the alleged violation occurred, if the petitioner and respondent do not
reside in this state. The court also shall refer the violation of the order for protection to the
appropriate prosecuting authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (b), (c), or (d).

(h) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an order for protection issued under
subdivision 6 or a similar law of another state, the United States, the District of Columbia,
tribal lands, or United States territories, and the court finds that the order has expired
between the time of the alleged violation and the court's hearing on the violation, the court
may grant a new order for protection under subdivision 6 based solely on the respondent's
alleged violation of the prior order, to be effective until the hearing on the alleged violation
of the prior order. If the court finds that the respondent has violated the prior order, the
relief granted in the new order for protection shall be extended for a fixed period, not to
exceed one year, except when the court determines a longer fixed period is appropriate.

(i) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing party excluded from the
dwelling under an order for protection is not a violation by the petitioner of the order
for protection.

A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause (1), for a failure to perform
a duty required by paragraph (e).

(j) When a person is convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an order for
protection and the court determines that the person used a firearm in any way during
commission of the violation, the court may order that the person is prohibited from
possessing any type of firearm for any period longer than three years or for the remainder
of the person's life. A person who violates this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
At the time of the conviction, the court shall inform the defendant whether and for
how long the defendant is prohibited from possessing a firearm and that it is a gross
misdemeanor to violate this paragraph. The failure of the court to provide this information
to a defendant does not affect the applicability of the firearm possession prohibition or the
gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant.

(k) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), when a person is convicted
under paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an order for protection, the court shall inform
the defendant that the defendant is prohibited from possessing a pistol for three years
from the date of conviction and that it is a gross misdemeanor offense to violate this
prohibition. The failure of the court to provide this information to a defendant does not
affect the applicability of the pistol possession prohibition or the gross misdemeanor
penalty to that defendant.

(l) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), a person is not entitled to possess a
pistol if the person has been convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) after August 1, 1996,
of violating an order for protection, unless three years have elapsed from the date of
conviction and, during that time, the person has not been convicted of any other violation

verification form to the person's last reported primary address. This verification form must
provide notice to the offender that, if the offender does not return the verification form
as required, information about the offender may be made available to the public through
electronic, computerized, or other accessible means. For persons who are registered under
subdivision 3a, the bureau shall mail an annual verification form to the law enforcement

verification form to the person at the next weekly meeting and ensure that the person
completes and signs the form and returns it to the bureau.

days after receipt of the form, stating on the form the current and last address of the
person's residence and the other information required under subdivision 4a.

(4) If the person fails to mail the completed and signed verification form to the
bureau within ten days after receipt of the form, or if the person fails to report to the
law enforcement authority during the month of the person's birth date, the person is in
violation of this section.

(5) For any person who fails to mail the completed and signed verification form to
the bureau within ten days after receipt of the form and who has been determined to be
a risk level III offender under section 244.052, the bureau shall immediately investigate
and notify local law enforcement authorities to investigate the person's location and to
ensure compliance with this section. The bureau also shall immediately give notice of the
person's violation of this section to the law enforcement authority having jurisdiction over
the person's last registered address or addresses.

For persons required to register under subdivision 1b, paragraph (c), following

Sec. 11.

Minnesota Statutes 2005 Supplement, section 244.052, subdivision 4, is
amended to read:


Subd. 4.

Law enforcement agency; disclosure of information to public.

(a)
The law enforcement agency in the area where the predatory offender resides, expects
to reside, is employed, or is regularly found, shall disclose to the public any information
regarding the offender contained in the report forwarded to the agency under subdivision
3, paragraph (f), that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the
offender's dangerousness, consistent with the guidelines in paragraph (b). The extent of
the information disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must relate to
the level of danger posed by the offender, to the offender's pattern of offending behavior,
and to the need of community members for information to enhance their individual and
collective safety.

(b) The law enforcement agency shall employ the following guidelines in
determining the scope of disclosure made under this subdivision:

(1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency may maintain information
regarding the offender within the agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement
agencies. Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any victims of or
witnesses to the offense committed by the offender. The agency shall disclose the
information to victims of the offense committed by the offender who have requested
disclosure and to adult members of the offender's immediate household;

(2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the agency also may disclose the
information to agencies and groups that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose
of securing those institutions and protecting individuals in their care while they are on or
near the premises of the institution. These agencies and groups include the staff members
of public and private educational institutions, day care establishments, and establishments
and organizations that primarily serve individuals likely to be victimized by the offender.
The agency also may disclose the information to individuals the agency believes are likely
to be victimized by the offender. The agency's belief shall be based on the offender's
pattern of offending or victim preference as documented in the information provided by
the department of corrections or human services;

(3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the agency shall disclose the
information to the persons and entities described in clauses (1) and (2) and to other
members of the community whom the offender is likely to encounter, unless the law
enforcement agency determines that public safety would be compromised by the disclosure
or that a more limited disclosure is necessary to protect the identity of the victim.

Notwithstanding the assignment of a predatory offender to risk level II or III, a law
enforcement agency may not make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or
(3), if: the offender is placed or resides in a residential facility. However, if an offender is
placed or resides in a residential facility, the offender and the head of the facility shall
designate the offender's likely residence upon release from the facility and the head of
the facility shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner of human
services of the offender's likely residence at least 14 days before the offender's scheduled
release date. The commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement agency
having jurisdiction over the offender's likely residence. The head of the residential facility
also shall notify the commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours
after finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a permanent residence. Within
five days after receiving this notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to
the appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the commissioner has
concerning the offender, including information on the risk factors in the offender's history
and the risk level to which the offender was assigned. After receiving this information,
the law enforcement agency shall make the disclosures permitted or required by clause
(2) or (3), as appropriate.

(c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely to encounter" means that:

(1) the organizations or community members are in a location or in close proximity
to a location where the offender lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or
is likely to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the offender's outpatient
treatment program; and

(2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that location and other
circumstances indicate that contact with the offender is reasonably certain.

(d) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this
subdivision shall make a good faith effort to make the notification within 14 days of receipt
of a confirmed address from the Department of Corrections indicating that the offender
will be, or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for supervision, or has moved
to a new address and will reside at the address indicated. If a change occurs in the release
plan, this notification provision does not require an extension of the release date.

(e) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this
subdivision shall not disclose the identity or any identifying characteristics of the victims
of or witnesses to the offender's offenses.

(f) A law enforcement agency shall continue to disclose information on an offender
as required by this subdivision for as long as the offender is required to register under
section 243.166. This requirement on a law enforcement agency to continue to disclose
information also applies to an offender who lacks a primary address and is registering
under section 243.166, subdivision 3a.

(g) A law enforcement agency that is disclosing information on an offender assigned
to risk level III to the public under this subdivision shall inform the commissioner of
corrections what information is being disclosed and forward this information to the
commissioner within two days of the agency's determination. The commissioner shall
post this information on the Internet as required in subdivision 4b.

(h) A city council may adopt a policy that addresses when information disclosed
under this subdivision must be presented in languages in addition to English. The policy
may address when information must be presented orally, in writing, or both in additional
languages by the law enforcement agency disclosing the information. The policy may
provide for different approaches based on the prevalence of non-English languages in
different neighborhoods.

(i) An offender who is the subject of a community notification meeting held pursuant
to this section may not attend the meeting.

new text begin (j) When a school, day care facility, or other entity or program that primarily
educates or serves children receives notice under paragraph (b), clause (3), that a level III
predatory offender resides or works in the surrounding community, notice to parents must
be made as provided in this paragraph. If the predatory offender identified in the notice is
participating in programs offered by the facility that require or allow the person to interact
with children other than the person's children, the principal or head of the entity must
notify parents with children at the facility of the contents of the notice received pursuant
to this section. The immunity provisions of subdivision 7 apply to persons disclosing
information under this paragraph.
