85.27 	the record.
85.28 	(c) (b) The court may notreduce the amount or waive payment of the surcharge required

86.16 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.02, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
86.17 		Subdivision 1.Freedom from discrimination. (a) It is the public policy of this state to 
86.18 	secure for persons in this state, freedom from discrimination:
86.19 	(1) in employment because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital 
86.20 	status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, familial status,
86.21 	and age;
86.22 	(2) in housing and real property because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, 
86.23 	sex, marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, and 
86.24 	familial status;
86.25 	(3) in public accommodations because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, 
86.26 	sex, sexual orientation, and disability;
86.27 	(4) in public services because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital 
86.28 	status, disability, sexual orientation, and status with regard to public assistance; and
86.29 	(5) in education because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, 
86.30 	disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, and age.
86.31 	(b) Such discrimination threatens the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of this state 
86.32 	and menaces the institutions and foundations of democracy. It is also the public policy of 
87.1 	this state to protect all persons from wholly unfounded charges of discrimination. Nothing 
87.2 	in this chapter shall be interpreted as restricting the implementation of positive action 
87.3 	programs to combat discrimination.

87.4 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.08, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
87.5 		Subd. 6.Reasonable accommodation. (a) Except when based on a bona fide occupational 
87.6 	qualification, it is an unfair employment practice for an employer with a number of part-time 
87.7 	or full-time employees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the 
87.8 	current or preceding calendar year equal to or greater than 25 effective July 1, 1992, and 
87.9 	equal to or greater than 15 effective July 1, 1994, an employment agency, or a labor 
87.10 	organization, not to make provide a reasonable accommodation to the known disability of 
87.11 	a qualified disabled person or job applicant for a job applicant or qualified employee with 
87.12 	a disability unless the employer, agency, or organization can demonstrate that the 
87.13 	accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the business, agency, or organization. 
87.14 	"Reasonable accommodation" means steps which must be taken to accommodate the known 
87.15 	physical or mental limitations of a qualified disabled person individual with a disability. 
87.16 	To determine the appropriate reasonable accommodation the employer, agency, or 
87.17 	organization shall initiate an informal, interactive process with the individual with a disability 
87.18 	in need of the accommodation. This process should identify the limitations resulting from 
87.19 	the disability and any potential reasonable accommodations that could overcome those 
87.20 	limitations. "Reasonable accommodation" may include but is not limited to, nor does it 
87.21 	necessarily require: (1) making facilities readily accessible to and usable by disabled persons
87.22 	individuals with disabilities; and (2) job restructuring, modified work schedules, reassignment 
87.23 	to a vacant position, acquisition or modification of equipment or devices, and the provision 
87.24 	of aides on a temporary or periodic basis.
87.25 	(b) In determining whether an accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the 
87.26 	operation of a business or organization, factors to be considered include:
87.27 	(1) the overall size of the business or organization with respect to number of employees 
87.28 	or members and the number and type of facilities;
87.29 	(2) the type of the operation, including the composition and structure of the work force, 
87.30 	and the number of employees at the location where the employment would occur;
87.31 	(3) the nature and cost of the needed accommodation;
87.32 	(4) the reasonable ability to finance the accommodation at each site of business; and
88.1 	(5) documented good faith efforts to explore less restrictive or less expensive alternatives, 
88.2 	including consultation with the disabled person or with knowledgeable disabled persons or 
88.3 	organizations.
88.4 	A prospective employer need not pay for an accommodation for a job applicant if it is 
88.5 	available from an alternative source without cost to the employer or applicant.

88.6 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.28, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
88.7 		Subdivision 1.Actions. Any person aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may bring 
88.8 	a civil action as provided in section 363A.33, subdivision 1, or may file a verified charge 
88.9 	with the commissioner or the commissioner's designated agent. A charge filed with the 
88.10 	commissioner must be in writing by hand, or electronically with an unsworn declaration 
88.11 	under penalty of perjury, on a form provided by the commissioner and signed by the charging 
88.12 	party. The charge must state the name of the person alleged to have committed an unfair 
88.13 	discriminatory practice and set out a summary of the details of the practice complained of. 
88.14 	The commissioner may require a charging party to provide the address of the person alleged 
88.15 	to have committed the unfair discriminatory practice, names of witnesses, documents, and 
88.16 	any other information necessary to process the charge. The commissioner may dismiss a 
88.17 	charge when the charging party fails to provide required information. The commissioner 
88.18 	within ten days of the filing shall serve a copy of the charge and a form for use in responding 
88.19 	to the charge upon the respondent personally, electronically with the receiving party's 
88.20 	consent, or by mail. The respondent shall file with the department a written response setting 
88.21 	out a summary of the details of the respondent's position relative to the charge within 20
88.22 	30 days of receipt of the charge. If the respondent fails to respond with a written summary 
88.23 	of the details of the respondent's position within 30 days after service of the charge, and 
88.24 	service was consistent with rule 4 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the commissioner, on 
88.25 	behalf of the complaining party, may bring an action for default in district court pursuant 
88.26 	to rule 55.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.

88.27 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.28, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
88.28 		Subd. 6.Charge processing. (a) Consistent with paragraph (h), the commissioner shall 
88.29 	promptly inquire into the truth of the allegations of the charge. The commissioner shall 
88.30 	make an immediate inquiry when a charge alleges actual or threatened physical violence. 
88.31 	The commissioner shall also make an immediate inquiry when it appears that a charge is 
88.32 	frivolous or without merit and shall dismiss those charges.
89.1 	(b) The commissioner shall give priority to investigating and processing those charges, 
89.2 	in the order below, which the commissioner determines have the following characteristics:
89.3 	(1) there is evidence of irreparable harm if immediate action is not taken;
89.4 	(2) there is evidence that the respondent has intentionally engaged in a reprisal;
89.5 	(3) a significant number of recent charges have been filed against the respondent;
89.6 	(4) the respondent is a government entity;
89.7 	(5) there is potential for broadly promoting the policies of this chapter; or
89.8 	(6) the charge is supported by substantial and credible documentation, witnesses, or 
89.9 	other evidence.
89.10 	The commissioner shall inform charging parties of these priorities and shall tell each 
89.11 	party if their charge is a priority case or not.
89.12 	On other charges the commissioner shall make a determination within 12 months after 
89.13 	the charge was filed as to whether or not there is probable cause to credit the allegation of 
89.14 	unfair discriminatory practices.
89.15 	(c) If the commissioner determines after investigation that no probable cause exists to 
89.16 	credit the allegations of the unfair discriminatory practice, the commissioner shall, within 
89.17 	ten days of the determination, serve upon the charging party and respondent written notice 
89.18 	of the determination. Within ten 30 days after receipt of notice, the charging party may 
89.19 	request in writing, on forms prepared by the department, that the commissioner reconsider 
89.20 	the determination. The request shall contain a brief statement of the reasons for and new 
89.21 	evidence in support of the request for reconsideration. At the time of submission of the 
89.22 	request to the commissioner, the charging party shall deliver or mail to the respondent a 
89.23 	copy of the request for reconsideration. The commissioner shall reaffirm, reverse, or vacate 
89.24 	and remand for further consideration the determination of no probable cause within 20 days 
89.25 	after receipt of the request for reconsideration, and shall within ten days notify in writing 
89.26 	the charging party and respondent of the decision to reaffirm, reverse, or vacate and remand 
89.27 	for further consideration.
89.28 	A decision by the commissioner that no probable cause exists to credit the allegations 
89.29 	of an unfair discriminatory practice shall not be appealed to the court of appeals pursuant 
89.30 	to section 363A.36 363A.34 or sections 14.63 to 14.68.
89.31 	(d) If the commissioner determines after investigation that probable cause exists to credit 
89.32 	the allegations of unfair discriminatory practices, the commissioner shall serve on the 
90.1 	respondent and the respondent's attorney if the respondent is represented by counsel, by 
90.2 	first class mail, or electronically with the receiving party's consent, a notice setting forth a 
90.3 	short plain written statement of the alleged facts which support the finding of probable cause 
90.4 	and an enumeration of the provisions of law allegedly violated. Within 30 days after receipt 
90.5 	of notice, the respondent may request in writing, on forms prepared by the department, that 
90.6 	the commissioner reconsider the determination. If the commissioner determines that attempts 
90.7 	to eliminate the alleged unfair practices through conciliation pursuant to subdivision 8 have 
90.8 	been or would be unsuccessful or unproductive, the commissioner shall may issue a complaint 
90.9 	and serve on the respondent, by registered or certified mail, or electronically with the 
90.10 	receiving party's consent, a written notice of hearing together with a copy of the complaint, 
90.11 	requiring the respondent to answer the allegations of the complaint at a hearing before an 
90.12 	administrative law judge at a time and place specified in the notice, not less than ten days 
90.13 	after service of said complaint. A copy of the notice shall be furnished to the charging party 
90.14 	and the attorney general.
90.15 	(e) If, at any time after the filing of a charge, the commissioner has reason to believe 
90.16 	that a respondent has engaged in any unfair discriminatory practice, the commissioner may 
90.17 	file a petition in the district court in a county in which the subject of the complaint occurs, 
90.18 	or in a county in which a respondent resides or transacts business, seeking appropriate 
90.19 	temporary relief against the respondent, pending final determination of proceedings under 
90.20 	this chapter, including an order or decree restraining the respondent from doing or procuring 
90.21 	an act tending to render ineffectual an order the commissioner may enter with respect to 
90.22 	the complaint. The court shall have power to grant temporary relief or a restraining order 
90.23 	as it deems just and proper, but no relief or order extending beyond ten days shall be granted 
90.24 	except by consent of the respondent or after hearing upon notice to the respondent and a 
90.25 	finding by the court that there is reasonable cause to believe that the respondent has engaged 
90.26 	in a discriminatory practice. Except as modified by subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, 
90.27 	subdivision 4, the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply to an application, and 
90.28 	the district court shall have authority to grant or deny the relief sought on conditions as it 
90.29 	deems just and equitable. All hearings under subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, 
90.30 	subdivision 4, shall be given precedence as nearly as practicable over all other pending civil 
90.31 	actions.
90.32 	(f) If a lessor, after engaging in a discriminatory practice defined in section 363A.09, 
90.33 	subdivision 1, clause (1), leases or rents a dwelling unit to a person who has no knowledge 
90.34 	of the practice or of the existence of a charge with respect to the practice, the lessor shall 
90.35 	be liable for actual damages sustained by a person by reason of a final order as provided in 
91.1 	subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, subdivision 4, requiring the person to be evicted 
91.2 	from the dwelling unit.
91.3 	(g) In any complaint issued under subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, subdivision 
91.4 	4, the commissioner may seek relief for a class of individuals affected by an unfair 
91.5 	discriminatory practice occurring on or after a date one year prior to the filing of the charge 
91.6 	from which the complaint originates.
91.7 	(h) The commissioner may adopt policies to determine which charges are processed and 
91.8 	the order in which charges are processed based on their particular social or legal significance, 
91.9 	administrative convenience, difficulty of resolution, or other standard consistent with the 
91.10 	provisions of this chapter.
91.11 	(i) The chief administrative law judge shall adopt policies to provide sanctions for 
91.12 	intentional and frivolous delay caused by any charging party or respondent in an investigation, 
91.13 	hearing, or any other aspect of proceedings before the department under this chapter.

91.14 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.31, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
91.15 		Subd. 2.Rescission of waiver. A waiver or release of rights or remedies secured by this 
91.16 	chapter which purports to apply to claims arising out of acts or practices prior to, or 
91.17 	concurrent with, the execution of the waiver or release may be rescinded within 15 calendar 
91.18 	days of its execution, except that a waiver or release given in settlement of a claim filed 
91.19 	with the department or with another administrative agency or judicial body is valid and final 
91.20 	upon execution. A waiving or releasing party shall be informed in writing of the right to 
91.21 	rescind the waiver or release. To be effective, the rescission must be in writing and delivered 
91.22 	to the waived or released party either by hand, electronically with the receiving party's 
91.23 	consent, or by mail within the 15-day period. If delivered by mail, the rescission must be:
91.24 	(1) postmarked within the 15-day period;
91.25 	(2) properly addressed to the waived or released party; and
91.26 	(3) sent by certified mail return receipt requested.

91.27 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.33, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
91.28 		Subd. 3.Summons and complaints in a civil action. A charging party bringing a civil 
91.29 	action shall mail by registered or certified mail, or electronically with the receiving party's 
91.30 	consent, a copy of the summons and complaint to the commissioner, and upon their receipt 
91.31 	the commissioner shall terminate all proceedings in the department relating to the charge. 
91.32 	No charge shall be filed or reinstituted with the commissioner after a civil action relating 
92.1 	to the same unfair discriminatory practice has been brought unless the civil action has been 
92.2 	dismissed without prejudice.

92.3 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.36, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
92.4 		Subdivision 1.Scope of application. (a) For all contracts for goods and services in 
92.5 	excess of $100,000, no department or agency of the state shall accept any bid or proposal 
92.6 	for a contract or agreement from any business having more than 40 full-time employees 
92.7 	within this state on a single working day during the previous 12 months, unless the 
92.8 	commissioner is in receipt of the business' affirmative action plan for the employment of 
92.9 	minority persons, women, and qualified disabled individuals. No department or agency of

92.18 	the business has a workforce certificate from the commissioner of human rights or has 
92.19 	certified in writing that it is exempt. Determinations of exempt status shall be made by the

147.17 	(c) (d) "Claimant" means an owner of a motor vehicle or a person claiming a leasehold 
147.18 	or security interest in a motor vehicle.
147.19 	(d) (e) "Designated license revocation" includes a license revocation under section 
147.20 	169A.52 (license revocation for test failure or refusal) or 171.177 (revocation; search warrant) 
147.21 	or a license disqualification under section 171.165 (commercial driver's license 
147.22 	disqualification) resulting from a violation of section 169A.52 or 171.177; within ten years 
147.23 	of the first of two or more qualified prior impaired driving incidents.
147.24 	(e) (f) "Designated offense" includes:
147.25 	(1) a violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) under the circumstances 
147.26 	described in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.25
147.27 	(second-degree driving while impaired); or
147.28 	(2) a violation of section 169A.20 or an ordinance in conformity with it: within ten years 
147.29 	of the first of two qualified prior impaired driving incidents.
147.30 	(i) by a person whose driver's license or driving privileges have been canceled as inimical 
147.31 	to public safety under section 171.04, subdivision 1, clause (10), and not reinstated; or
148.1 	(ii) by a person who is subject to a restriction on the person's driver's license under

148.8 	great-grandparent, great-uncle, great-aunt; or
148.9 	(3) persons residing together or persons who regularly associate and communicate with 
148.10 	one another outside of a workplace setting.

148.14 	vehicle, including a lessee of a motor vehicle if the lease agreement has a term of 180 days

148.16 	vehicle according to the records of the Department of Public Safety is the legal owner. For 
148.17 	purposes of this section, if a motor vehicle is owned jointly by two or more people, each 
148.18 	owner's interest extends to the whole of the vehicle and is not subject to apportionment.
148.19 	(i) (j) "Prosecuting authority" means the attorney in the jurisdiction in which the 
148.20 	designated offense occurred who is responsible for prosecuting violations of a designated 
148.21 	offense or a designee. If a state agency initiated the forfeiture, and the attorney responsible 
148.22 	for prosecuting the designated offense declines to pursue forfeiture, the Attorney General's 
148.23 	Office or its designee may initiate forfeiture under this section.
148.24 	(j) (k) "Security interest" means a bona fide security interest perfected according to 
148.25 	section 168A.17, subdivision 2, based on a loan or other financing that, if a vehicle is 
148.26 	required to be registered under chapter 168, is listed on the vehicle's title.

148.27 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
148.28 	that take place on or after that date.

148.29 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 169A.63, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
148.30 		Subd. 7.Limitations on vehicle forfeiture. (a) A vehicle is presumed subject to forfeiture 
148.31 	under this section if:
149.1 	(1) the driver is convicted of the designated offense upon which the forfeiture is based;
149.2 	or
149.3 	(2) the driver fails to appear for a scheduled court appearance with respect to the 
149.4 	designated offense charged and fails to voluntarily surrender within 48 hours after the time 
149.5 	required for appearance; or
149.6 	(3) (2) the driver's conduct results in a designated license revocation and the driver fails 
149.7 	to seek judicial review of the revocation in a timely manner as required by section 169A.53, 
149.8 	subdivision 2, (petition for judicial review), or the license revocation is judicially reviewed 
149.9 	and sustained under section 169A.53, subdivision 2.
149.10 	(b) A vehicle encumbered by a security interest perfected according to section 168A.17, 
149.11 	subdivision 2, or subject to a lease that has a term of 180 days or more, is subject to the 
149.12 	interest of the secured party or lessor unless the party or lessor had knowledge of or consented 
149.13 	to the act upon which the forfeiture is based. However, when the proceeds of the sale of a 
149.14 	seized vehicle do not equal or exceed the outstanding loan balance, the appropriate agency 
149.15 	shall remit all proceeds of the sale to the secured party after deducting the agency's costs 
149.16 	for the seizure, tow, storage, forfeiture, and sale of the vehicle. If the sale of the vehicle is 
149.17 	conducted in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with the provisions of section 
149.18 	336.9-610, the agency is not liable to the secured party for any amount owed on the loan in 
149.19 	excess of the sale proceeds. The validity and amount of a nonperfected security interest 
149.20 	must be established by its holder by clear and convincing evidence.
149.21 	(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), the secured party's or lessor's interest in a vehicle is 
149.22 	not subject to forfeiture based solely on the secured party's or lessor's knowledge of the act 
149.23 	or omission upon which the forfeiture is based if the secured party or lessor demonstrates 
149.24 	by clear and convincing evidence that the party or lessor took reasonable steps to terminate 
149.25 	use of the vehicle by the offender.
149.26 	(d) A motor vehicle is not subject to forfeiture under this section if any of its owners 
149.27 	who petition the court can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the petitioning 
149.28 	owner did not have actual or constructive knowledge that the vehicle would be used or 
149.29 	operated in any manner contrary to law or that the petitioning owner took reasonable steps 
149.30 	to prevent use of the vehicle by the offender. If the offender is a family or household member 
149.31 	of any of the owners who petition the court and has three or more prior impaired driving 
149.32 	convictions, the petitioning owner is presumed to know of any vehicle use by the offender 
149.33 	that is contrary to law. "Vehicle use contrary to law" includes, but is not limited to, violations 
149.34 	of the following statutes:
150.1 	(1) section 171.24 (violations; driving without valid license);
150.2 	(2) section 169.791 (criminal penalty for failure to produce proof of insurance);
150.3 	(3) section 171.09 (driving restrictions; authority, violations);
150.4 	(4) section 169A.20 (driving while impaired);
150.5 	(5) section 169A.33 (underage drinking and driving); and
150.6 	(6) section 169A.35 (open bottle law).

150.7 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
150.8 	that take place on or after that date.

150.9 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 169A.63, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
150.10 	read:
150.11 		Subd. 7a.Innocent owner. (a) An asserting person may bring an innocent owner claim 
150.12 	by notifying the prosecuting authority in writing and within 60 days of the service of the 
150.13 	notice of seizure.
150.14 	(b) Upon receipt of notice pursuant to paragraph (a), the prosecuting authority may 
150.15 	release the vehicle to the asserting person. If the prosecuting authority proceeds with the 
150.16 	forfeiture, the prosecuting authority must, within 30 days, file a separate complaint in the 
150.17 	name of the jurisdiction pursuing the forfeiture against the vehicle, describing the vehicle, 
150.18 	specifying that the vehicle was used in the commission of a designated offense or was used 
150.19 	in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation, and specifying the time and place 
150.20 	of the vehicle's unlawful use. The complaint may be filed in district court or conciliation 
150.21 	court and the filing fee is waived.
150.22 	(c) A complaint filed by the prosecuting authority must be served on the asserting person 
150.23 	and on any other registered owners. Service may be made by certified mail at the address 
150.24 	listed in the Department of Public Safety's computerized motor vehicle registration records 
150.25 	or by any means permitted by court rules.
150.26 	(d) The hearing on the complaint shall, to the extent practicable, be held within 30 days 
150.27 	of the filing of the petition. The court may consolidate the hearing on the complaint with a 
150.28 	hearing on any other complaint involving a claim of an ownership interest in the same 
150.29 	vehicle.
150.30 	(e) At a hearing held pursuant to this subdivision, the prosecuting authority must:
151.1 	(1) prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the seizure was incident to a lawful 
151.2 	arrest or a lawful search; and
151.3 	(2) certify that the prosecuting authority has filed, or intends to file, charges against the 
151.4 	driver for a designated offense or that the driver has a designated license revocation.
151.5 	(f) At a hearing held pursuant to this subdivision, the asserting person must prove by a 
151.6 	preponderance of the evidence that the asserting person:
151.7 	(1) has an actual ownership interest in the vehicle; and
151.8 	(2) did not have actual or constructive knowledge that the vehicle would be used or 
151.9 	operated in any manner contrary to law or that the asserting person took reasonable steps 
151.10 	to prevent use of the vehicle by the alleged offender.
151.11 	(g) If the court determines that the state met both burdens under paragraph (e) and the 
151.12 	asserting person failed to meet any burden under paragraph (f), the court shall order that 
151.13 	the vehicle remains subject to forfeiture under this section.
151.14 	(h) The court shall order that the vehicle is not subject to forfeiture under this section 
151.15 	and shall order the vehicle returned to the asserting person if it determines that:
151.16 	(1) the state failed to meet any burden under paragraph (e);
151.17 	(2) the asserting person proved both elements under paragraph (f); or
151.18 	(3) clauses (1) and (2) apply.
151.19 	(i) If the court determines that the asserting person is an innocent owner and orders the 
151.20 	vehicle returned to the innocent owner, an entity in possession of the vehicle is not required 
151.21 	to release it until the innocent owner pays:
151.22 	(1) the reasonable costs of the towing, seizure, and storage of the vehicle incurred before 
151.23 	the innocent owner provided the notice required under paragraph (a); and
151.24 	(2) any reasonable costs of storage of the vehicle incurred more than two weeks after 
151.25 	an order issued under paragraph (h).

151.26 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
151.27 	that take place on or after that date.

151.28 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 169A.63, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
151.29 		Subd. 8.Administrative forfeiture procedure. (a) A motor vehicle used to commit a 
151.30 	designated offense or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation is subject 
151.31 	to administrative forfeiture under this subdivision.
152.1 	(b) Within 60 days from when a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within 
152.2 	a reasonable time after seizure, the appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of 
152.3 	the vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the vehicle. Additionally, when 
152.4 	a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all 
152.5 	persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest in the vehicle must 
152.6 	be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit the vehicle. For those vehicles required to 
152.7 	be registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known to have a security interest 
152.8 	in the vehicle is required only if the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest 
152.9 	is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or prosecuting 
152.10 	authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed 
152.11 	90 days for good cause shown. Notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in 
152.12 	Department of Public Safety records is sufficient notice to the registered owner of the 
152.13 	vehicle. For motor vehicles not required to be registered under chapter 168, notice mailed 
152.14 	by certified mail to the address shown in the applicable filing or registration for the vehicle 
152.15 	is sufficient notice to a person known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest 
152.16 	in the vehicle. Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for service 
152.17 	of a summons in a civil action.
152.18 	(c) The notice must be in writing and contain:
152.19 	(1) a description of the vehicle seized;
152.20 	(2) the date of seizure; and
152.21 	(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for 
152.22 	obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the 
152.23 	appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
152.24 	Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
152.25 	"WARNING: If you were the person arrested when the property was seized, you will 
152.26 	automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do 
152.27 	not file a lawsuit and serve the prosecuting authority within 60 days. You may file your 
152.28 	lawsuit in conciliation court if the property is worth $15,000 or less; otherwise, you must 
152.29 	file in district court. You may do not have to pay a filing fee for your lawsuit if you are 
152.30 	unable to afford the fee. You do not have to pay a conciliation court fee if your property is 
152.31 	worth less than $500.
152.32 	WARNING: If you have an ownership interest in the above-described property and were 
152.33 	not the person arrested when the property was seized, you will automatically lose the 
153.1 	above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do not notify the 
153.2 	prosecuting authority of your interest in writing within 60 days."
153.3 	(d) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (b), and no time extension is granted 
153.4 	or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the property vehicle
153.5 	to the person from whom the property was seized, if known owner. An agency's return of 
153.6 	property due to lack of proper notice does not restrict the agency's authority to commence 
153.7 	a forfeiture proceeding at a later time. The agency shall not be required to return contraband 
153.8 	or other property that the person from whom the property was seized may not legally possess.
153.9 	(e) Within 60 days following service of a notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
153.10 	subdivision, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial determination of the forfeiture. The 
153.11 	demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and must be filed with the court 
153.12 	administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, together with proof of service of 
153.13 	a copy of the complaint on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the forfeiture, 
153.14 	including the standard filing fee for civil actions unless the petitioner has the right to sue 
153.15 	in forma pauperis under section 563.01. The claimant may serve the complaint by certified 
153.16 	mail or any means permitted by court rules. If the value of the seized property is $15,000 
153.17 	or less, the claimant may file an action in conciliation court for recovery of the seized vehicle. 
153.18 	A copy of the conciliation court statement of claim must be served personally or by mail 
153.19 	on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the forfeiture, as well as on the 
153.20 	appropriate agency that initiated the forfeiture, within 60 days following service of the 
153.21 	notice of seizure and forfeiture under this subdivision. If the value of the seized property is 
153.22 	less than $500, The claimant does not have to pay the conciliation court filing fee.
153.23 	No responsive pleading is required of the prosecuting authority and no court fees may 
153.24 	be charged for the prosecuting authority's appearance in the matter. The prosecuting authority 
153.25 	may appear for the appropriate agency. Pleadings, filings, and methods of service are 
153.26 	governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure.
153.27 	(f) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the claimant as plaintiff and the 
153.28 	seized vehicle as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
153.29 	alleges the vehicle was improperly seized, the claimant's interest in the vehicle seized, and 
153.30 	any affirmative defenses the claimant may have. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, 
153.31 	an action for the return of a vehicle seized under this section may not be maintained by or 
153.32 	on behalf of any person who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless 
153.33 	the person has complied with this subdivision.
154.1 	(g) If the claimant makes a timely demand for a judicial determination under this 
154.2 	subdivision, the forfeiture proceedings must be conducted as provided under subdivision 
154.3 	9.

154.4 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
154.5 	that take place on or after that date.

154.6 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 169A.63, subdivision 9, is amended to read:
154.7 		Subd. 9.Judicial forfeiture procedure. (a) This subdivision governs judicial 
154.8 	determinations of the forfeiture of a motor vehicle used to commit a designated offense or 
154.9 	used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation. An action for forfeiture is a 
154.10 	civil in rem action and is independent of any criminal prosecution. All proceedings are 
154.11 	governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure.
154.12 	(b) If no demand for judicial determination of the forfeiture is pending, the prosecuting 
154.13 	authority may, in the name of the jurisdiction pursuing the forfeiture, file a separate complaint 
154.14 	against the vehicle, describing it, specifying that it was used in the commission of a 
154.15 	designated offense or was used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation, and 
154.16 	specifying the time and place of its unlawful use.
154.17 	(c) The prosecuting authority may file an answer to a properly served demand for judicial 
154.18 	determination, including an affirmative counterclaim for forfeiture. The prosecuting authority 
154.19 	is not required to file an answer.
154.20 	(d) A judicial determination under this subdivision must be held at the earliest practicable 
154.21 	date, and in any event no later than 180 days following the filing of the demand by the 
154.22 	claimant. If a related criminal proceeding is pending, the hearing shall not be held until the 
154.23 	conclusion of the criminal proceedings. The district court administrator shall schedule the 
154.24 	hearing as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the criminal prosecution. The district 
154.25 	court administrator shall establish procedures to ensure efficient compliance with this 
154.26 	subdivision. The hearing is to the court without a jury.
154.27 	(e) There is a presumption that a vehicle seized under this section is subject to forfeiture 
154.28 	if the prosecuting authority establishes that the vehicle was used in the commission of a 
154.29 	designated offense or designated license revocation. A claimant bears the burden of proving 
154.30 	any affirmative defense raised.
154.31 	(f) If the forfeiture is based on the commission of a designated offense and the person 
154.32 	charged with the designated offense appears in court as required and is not convicted of the 
154.33 	offense, the court shall order the property returned to the person legally entitled to it upon 
155.1 	that person's compliance with the redemption requirements of section 169A.42. If the 
155.2 	forfeiture is based on a designated license revocation, and the license revocation is rescinded 
155.3 	under section 169A.53, subdivision 3 (judicial review hearing, issues, order, appeal), the 
155.4 	court shall order the property returned to the person legally entitled to it upon that person's 
155.5 	compliance with the redemption requirements of section 169A.42.
155.6 	(g) If the lawful ownership of the vehicle used in the commission of a designated offense 
155.7 	or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation can be determined and the 
155.8 	owner makes the demonstration required under subdivision 7, paragraph (d) 7a, the vehicle 
155.9 	must be returned immediately upon the owner's compliance with the redemption requirements 
155.10 	of section 169A.42.
155.11 	(h) If the court orders the return of a seized vehicle under this subdivision it must order 
155.12 	that filing fees be reimbursed to the person who filed the demand for judicial determination. 
155.13 	In addition, the court may order sanctions under section 549.211 (sanctions in civil actions). 
155.14 	Any reimbursement fees or sanctions must be paid from other forfeiture proceeds of the 
155.15 	law enforcement agency and prosecuting authority involved and in the same proportion as 
155.16 	distributed under subdivision 10, paragraph (b).

155.17 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
155.18 	that take place on or after that date.

155.19 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 169A.63, subdivision 10, is amended to read:
155.20 		Subd. 10.Disposition of forfeited vehicle. (a) If the vehicle is administratively forfeited 
155.21 	under subdivision 8, or if the court finds under subdivision 9 that the vehicle is subject to 
155.22 	forfeiture under subdivisions 6 and 7, the appropriate agency shall:
155.23 	(1) sell the vehicle and distribute the proceeds under paragraph (b); or
155.24 	(2) keep the vehicle for official use. If the agency keeps a forfeited motor vehicle for 
155.25 	official use, it shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the motor vehicle is available for 
155.26 	use by the agency's officers who participate in the drug abuse resistance education program.
155.27 	(b) The proceeds from the sale of forfeited vehicles, after payment of seizure, towing, 
155.28 	storage, forfeiture, and sale expenses, and satisfaction of valid liens against the property, 
155.29 	must be distributed as follows:
155.30 	(1) 70 percent of the proceeds must be forwarded to the appropriate agency for deposit 
155.31 	as a supplement to the state or local agency's operating fund or similar fund for use in 
155.32 	DWI-related enforcement, training, and education, crime prevention, equipment, or capital 
155.33 	expenses; and
156.1 	(2) 30 percent of the money or proceeds must be forwarded to the prosecuting authority 
156.2 	that handled the forfeiture for deposit as a supplement to its operating fund or similar fund 
156.3 	for prosecutorial purposes, training, education, crime prevention, equipment, or capital 
156.4 	expenses. For purposes of this subdivision, the prosecuting authority shall not include 
156.5 	privately contracted prosecutors of a local political subdivision and, in those events, the 
156.6 	forfeiture proceeds shall be forwarded to the political subdivision where the forfeiture was 
156.7 	handled for the purposes identified in clause (1).
156.8 	(c) If a vehicle is sold under paragraph (a), the appropriate agency shall not sell the 
156.9 	vehicle to: (1) an officer or employee of the agency that seized the property or to a person 
156.10 	related to the officer or employee by blood or marriage; or (2) the prosecuting authority or 
156.11 	any individual working in the same office or a person related to the authority or individual 
156.12 	by blood or marriage.
156.13 	(d) Sales of forfeited vehicles under this section must be conducted in a commercially 
156.14 	reasonable manner.
156.15 	(e) If a vehicle is forfeited administratively under this section and no demand for judicial 
156.16 	determination is made, the appropriate agency shall provide the prosecuting authority with

165.11 	to prevent use of the vehicle by the alleged offender.

165.27 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
165.28 	that take place on or after that date.

166.1 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 609.5314, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
166.2 		Subd. 2.Administrative forfeiture procedure. (a) Forfeiture of property described in 
166.3 	subdivision 1 that does not exceed $50,000 in value is governed by this subdivision. Within 
166.4 	60 days from when seizure occurs, all persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or 
166.5 	security interest in seized property must be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit 
166.6 	the property. In the case of a motor vehicle required to be registered under chapter 168, 
166.7 	notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in Department of Public Safety records 
166.8 	is deemed sufficient notice to the registered owner. The notification to a person known to 
166.9 	have a security interest in seized property required under this paragraph applies only to 
166.10 	motor vehicles required to be registered under chapter 168 and only if the security interest 
166.11 	is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or the prosecuting 
166.12 	authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed 
166.13 	90 days for good cause shown.
166.14 	(b) Notice may otherwise be given in the manner provided by law for service of a 
166.15 	summons in a civil action. The notice must be in writing and contain:
166.16 	(1) a description of the property seized;
166.17 	(2) the date of seizure; and
166.18 	(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for 
166.19 	obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the 
166.20 	appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
166.21 	Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
166.22 	"WARNING: If you were the person arrested when the property was seized, you will 
166.23 	automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do 
166.24 	not file a lawsuit and serve the prosecuting authority within 60 days. You may file your 
166.25 	lawsuit in conciliation court if the property is worth $15,000 or less; otherwise, you must 
166.26 	file in district court. You maydo not have to pay a filing fee for your lawsuit if you are 
166.27 	unable to afford the fee. You do not have to pay a conciliation court fee if your property is 
166.28 	worth less than $500.
166.29 	WARNING: If you have an ownership interest in the above-described property and were 
166.30 	not the person arrested when the property was seized, you will automatically lose the 
166.31 	above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do not notify the 
166.32 	prosecuting authority of your interest in writing within 60 days."
167.1 	(c) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (a), and no time extension is granted 
167.2 	or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the property to the 
167.3 	person from whom the property was seized, if known. An agency's return of property due 
167.4 	to lack of proper notice does not restrict the agency's authority to commence a forfeiture 
167.5 	proceeding at a later time. The agency shall not be required to return contraband or other 
167.6 	property that the person from whom the property was seized may not legally possess.

167.7 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2022, and applies to seizures 
167.8 	that take place on or after that date.

167.11 	seizure and forfeiture under this section, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial 
167.12 	determination of the forfeiture. The demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and 
167.13 	must be filed with the court administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, 
167.14 	together with proof of service of a copy of the complaint on the prosecuting authority for 
167.15 	that county, and the standard filing fee for civil actions unless the petitioner has the right 
167.16 	to sue in forma pauperis under section 563.01. The claimant may serve the complaint on 
167.17 	the prosecuting authority by any means permitted by court rules. If the value of the seized 
167.18 	property is $15,000 or less, the claimant may file an action in conciliation court for recovery 
167.19 	of the seized property. If the value of the seized property is less than $500, The claimant 
167.20 	does not have to pay the conciliation court filing fee. No responsive pleading is required of 
167.21 	the prosecuting authority and no court fees may be charged for the prosecuting authority's 
167.22 	appearance in the matter. The district court administrator shall schedule the hearing as soon 
167.23 	as practicable after, and in any event no later than 90 days following, the conclusion of the 
167.24 	criminal prosecution. The proceedings are governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure.
167.25 	(b) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the claimant as plaintiff and the 
167.26 	seized property as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the 
167.27 	claimant alleges the property was improperly seized and the plaintiff's interest in the property 
167.28 	seized. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, an action for the return of property seized 
167.29 	under this section may not be maintained by or on behalf of any person who has been served 
167.30 	with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless the person has complied with this subdivision.
167.31 	(c) If the claimant makes a timely demand for judicial determination under this 
167.32 	subdivision, the appropriate agency must conduct the forfeiture under section 609.531, 
167.33 	subdivision 6a. The limitations and defenses set forth in section 609.5311, subdivision 3, 
167.34 	apply to the judicial determination.
168.1 	(d) If a demand for judicial determination of an administrative forfeiture is filed under 
168.2 	this subdivision and the court orders the return of the seized property, the court shall order 
168.3 	that filing fees be reimbursed to the person who filed the demand. In addition, the court 
168.4 	may order sanctions under section 549.211. If the court orders payment of these costs, they 
168.5 	must be paid from forfeited money or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property from the 
168.6 	appropriate law enforcement and prosecuting agencies in the same proportion as they would 
168.7 	be distributed under section 609.5315, subdivision 5.

193.7 	the licensee who is the subject of the complaint and the complainant written notice of the 
193.8 	meeting. The executive director shall also give the licensee a copy of the complaint. Before 
193.9 	making its determination, the committee shall give the complaining party and the licensee 
193.10 	who is the subject of the complaint a reasonable opportunity to be heard.
193.11 	(b) The committee shall, by majority vote, after considering the information supplied 
193.12 	by the investigating agency and any additional information supplied by the complainant or 
193.13 	the licensee who is the subject of the complaint, take one of the following actions:
193.14 	(1) find that reasonable grounds exist to believe that a violation within the board's 
193.15 	enforcement jurisdiction has occurred and order that an administrative hearing be held;
193.16 	(2) decide that no further action is warranted; or
193.17 	(3) continue the matter.
193.18 	The executive director shall promptly give notice of the committee's action to the 
193.19 	complainant and the licensee.
193.20 	(c) If the committee determines that a complaint does not relate to matters within its 
193.21 	enforcement jurisdiction but does relate to matters within another state or local agency's 
193.22 	enforcement jurisdiction, it shall refer the complaint to the appropriate agency for disposition.

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

195.5 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
195.6 		Subdivision 1.Correctional facilities; inspection; licensing. (a) Except as provided 
195.7 	in paragraph (b), the commissioner of corrections shall inspect and license all correctional 
195.8 	facilities throughout the state, whether public or private, established and operated for the 
195.9 	detention and confinement of persons detained or confined or incarcerated therein according 
195.10 	to law except to the extent that they are inspected or licensed by other state regulating 
195.11 	agencies. The commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules establishing 
195.12 	minimum standards for these facilities with respect to their management, operation, physical 
195.13 	condition, and the security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons detained or
195.14 	confined or incarcerated therein. Commencing September 1, 1980, These minimum standards 
195.15 	shall include but are not limited to specific guidance pertaining to:
195.16 	(1) screening, appraisal, assessment, and treatment for persons confined or incarcerated 
195.17 	in correctional facilities with mental illness or substance use disorders;
195.18 	(2) a policy on the involuntary administration of medications;

195.30 	incarcerated in correctional facilities;
195.31 	(12) a policy regarding the use of telehealth;
196.1 	(13) self-auditing of compliance with minimum standards;
196.2 	(14) information sharing with medical personnel and when medical assessment must be 
196.3 	facilitated;
196.4 	(15) a code of conduct policy for facility staff and annual training;

196.6 	committed to the custody of the facility; and
196.7 	(17) dissemination of a rights statement made available to persons confined or 
196.8 	incarcerated in licensed correctional facilities.
196.9 	No individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or other private 
196.10 	organization legally responsible for the operation of a correctional facility may operate the 
196.11 	facility unless licensed by it possesses a current license from the commissioner of corrections. 
196.12 	Private adult correctional facilities shall have the authority of section 624.714, subdivision 
196.13 	13, if the Department of Corrections licenses the facility with such the authority and the 
196.14 	facility meets requirements of section 243.52.
196.15 	The commissioner shall review the correctional facilities described in this subdivision 
196.16 	at least once every biennium two years, except as otherwise provided herein, to determine 
196.17 	compliance with the minimum standards established pursuant according to this subdivision
196.18 	or other Minnesota statute related to minimum standards and conditions of confinement.
196.19 	The commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to conform to minimum 
196.20 	standards or to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory 
196.21 	progress toward substantial conformity and the standards not being met do not impact the
196.22 	interests and well-being of the persons detained or confined therein or incarcerated in the 
196.23 	facilityare protected. A limited license under subdivision 1a may be issued for purposes of 
196.24 	effectuating a facility closure. The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years. Unless 
196.25 	otherwise specified by statute, all licenses issued under this chapter expire at 12:01 a.m. on 
196.26 	the day after the expiration date stated on the license.
196.27 	The commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and 
196.28 	to persons detained or confined or incarcerated in these facilities. The commissioner may 
196.29 	require the officers in charge of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics the 
196.30 	commissioner deems necessary, at a time and place designated by the commissioner.
196.31 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all deaths of 
196.32 	individuals who died while committed to the custody of the facility, regardless of whether 
196.33 	the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the facility for medical care stemming 
197.1 	from an incident or need for medical care at the correctional facility, as soon as practicable, 
197.2 	but no later than 24 hours of receiving knowledge of the death, including any demographic 
197.3 	information as required by the commissioner.
197.4 	All facility administrators of correctional facilities are required to report all other 
197.5 	emergency or unusual occurrences as defined by rule, including uses of force by facility 
197.6 	staff that result in substantial bodily harm or suicide attempts, to the commissioner of 
197.7 	corrections within ten days from the occurrence, including any demographic information 
197.8 	as required by the commissioner. The commissioner of corrections shall consult with the 
197.9 	Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the Minnesota Association of 
197.10 	Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the operations of an adult 
197.11 	correctional facility to define "use of force" that results in substantial bodily harm for 
197.12 	reporting purposes.
197.13 	The commissioner may require that any or all such information be provided through the 
197.14 	Department of Corrections detention information system. The commissioner shall post each 
197.15 	inspection report publicly and on the department's website within 30 days of completing 
197.16 	the inspection. The education program offered in a correctional facility for the detention or
197.17 	confinement or incarceration of juvenile offenders must be approved by the commissioner 
197.18 	of education before the commissioner of corrections may grant a license to the facility.
197.19 	(b) For juvenile facilities licensed by the commissioner of human services, the 
197.20 	commissioner may inspect and certify programs based on certification standards set forth 
197.21 	in Minnesota Rules. For the purpose of this paragraph, "certification" has the meaning given 
197.22 	it in section 245A.02.
197.23 	(c) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses certain aspects of correctional 
197.24 	facilities shall, insofar as is possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
197.25 	substantially the same as those required by other state agencies which regulate, inspect, or 
197.26 	license the same aspects of similar types of correctional facilities, although at different 
197.27 	correctional facilities.
197.28 	(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner of corrections' 
197.29 	authority to promulgate rules establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
197.30 	funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16, or to require counties to comply with operating 
197.31 	standards the commissioner establishes as a condition precedent for counties to receive that 
197.32 	funding.
197.33 	(e) The department's inspection unit must report directly to a division head outside of 
197.34 	the correctional institutions division.
198.1 	(e) When the commissioner finds that any facility described in paragraph (a), except 
198.2 	foster care facilities for delinquent children and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does 
198.3 	not substantially conform to the minimum standards established by the commissioner and 
198.4 	is not making satisfactory progress toward substantial conformance, the commissioner shall 
198.5 	promptly notify the chief executive officer and the governing board of the facility of the 
198.6 	deficiencies and order that they be remedied within a reasonable period of time. The 
198.7 	commissioner may by written order restrict the use of any facility which does not substantially 
198.8 	conform to minimum standards to prohibit the detention of any person therein for more than 
198.9 	72 hours at one time. When, after due notice and hearing, the commissioner finds that any 
198.10 	facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups as provided in sections 
198.11 	641.26, 642.10, and 642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making 
198.12 	satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance therewith, the commissioner may issue 
198.13 	an order revoking the license of that facility. After revocation of its license, that facility 
198.14 	shall not be used until its license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that 
198.15 	satisfactory progress towards substantial compliance with minimum standard is being made, 
198.16 	the commissioner may, at the request of the appropriate officials of the affected facility 
198.17 	supported by a written schedule for compliance, grant an extension of time for a period not 
198.18 	to exceed one year.
198.19 	(f) As used in this subdivision, "correctional facility" means any facility, including a 
198.20 	group home, having a residential component, the primary purpose of which is to serve 
198.21 	persons placed therein by a court, court services department, parole authority, or other 
198.22 	correctional agency having dispositional power over persons charged with, convicted, or 
198.23 	adjudicated to be guilty or delinquent.

198.24 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
198.25 	read:
198.26 		Subd. 1a.Correction order; conditional license. (a) When the commissioner finds that 
198.27 	any facility described in subdivision 1, except foster care facilities for delinquent children 
198.28 	and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does not substantially conform to the minimum 
198.29 	standards established by the commissioner and is not making satisfactory progress toward 
198.30 	substantial conformance and the nonconformance does not present an imminent risk of 
198.31 	life-threatening harm or serious physical injury to the persons confined or incarcerated in 
198.32 	the facility, the commissioner shall promptly notify the facility administrator and the 
198.33 	governing board of the facility of the deficiencies and must issue a correction order or a 
198.34 	conditional license order that the deficiencies be remedied within a reasonable and specified 
198.35 	period of time.
199.1 	The conditional license order may restrict the use of any facility which does not 
199.2 	substantially conform to minimum standards, including imposition of conditions limiting 
199.3 	operation of the facility or parts of the facility, reducing facility capacity, limiting intake, 
199.4 	limiting length of detention for individuals, or imposing detention limitations based on the 
199.5 	needs of the individuals being confined or incarcerated therein.
199.6 	The correction order or conditional license order must clearly state the following:
199.7 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
199.8 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards;
199.9 	(3) the corrective action needed;
199.10 	(4) time allowed to correct each violation; and
199.11 	(5) if a license is made conditional, the length and terms of the conditional license, any 
199.12 	conditions limiting operation of the facility, and the reasons for making the license 
199.13 	conditional.
199.14 	(b) The facility administrator may request review of the findings noted in the conditional 
199.15 	license order on the grounds that satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with 
199.16 	minimum standards has been made, supported by evidence of correction, and, if appropriate, 
199.17 	may include a written schedule for compliance. The commissioner shall review the evidence 
199.18 	of correction and the progress made toward substantial compliance with minimum standards 
199.19 	within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ten business days. When the commissioner 
199.20 	has assurance that satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance with minimum 
199.21 	standards is being made, the commissioner shall lift any conditions limiting operation of 
199.22 	the facility or parts of the facility or remove the conditional license order.
199.23 	(c) Nothing in this section prohibits the commissioner from ordering a revocation under 
199.24 	subdivision 1b prior to issuing a correction order or conditional license order.

199.25 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
199.26 	read:
199.27 		Subd. 1b.License revocation order. (a) When, after due notice to the facility 
199.28 	administrator of the commissioner's intent to issue a revocation order, the commissioner 
199.29 	finds that any facility described in this subdivision, except county jails and lockups subject 
199.30 	to active condemnation proceedings or orders as provided in sections 641.26, 642.10, and 
199.31 	642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not making satisfactory progress 
199.32 	toward substantial compliance with minimum standards, and the nonconformance does not 
200.1 	present an imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury to the persons 
200.2 	confined or incarcerated in the facility, the commissioner may issue an order revoking the 
200.3 	license of that facility.
200.4 	The notice of intent to issue a revocation order shall include:
200.5 	(1) the citation to minimum standards that have been violated;
200.6 	(2) the nature and severity of each violation;
200.7 	(3) whether the violation is recurring or nonrecurring;
200.8 	(4) the effect of the violation on persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional 
200.9 	facility;
200.10 	(5) an evaluation of the risk of harm to persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional 
200.11 	facility;
200.12 	(6) relevant facts, conditions, and circumstances concerning the operation of the licensed 
200.13 	facility, including at a minimum:
200.14 	(i) specific facility deficiencies that endanger the health or safety of persons confined 
200.15 	or incarcerated in the correctional facility;
200.16 	(ii) substantiated complaints relating to the correctional facility; or
200.17 	(iii) any other evidence that the correctional facility is not in compliance with minimum 
200.18 	standards.
200.19 	(b) The facility administrator must submit a written response within 30 days of receipt 
200.20 	of the notice of intent to issue a revocation order with any information related to errors in 
200.21 	the notice, ability to conform to minimum standards within a set period of time including 
200.22 	but not limited to a written schedule for compliance, and any other information the facility 
200.23 	administrator deems relevant for consideration by the commissioner. The written response 
200.24 	must also include a written plan indicating how the correctional facility will ensure the 
200.25 	transfer of confined or incarcerated individuals and records if the correctional facility closes. 
200.26 	Plans must specify arrangements the correctional facility will make to transfer confined or 
200.27 	incarcerated individuals to another licensed correctional facility for continuation of detention.
200.28 	(c) When revoking a license, the commissioner shall consider the nature, chronicity, or 
200.29 	severity of the violation of law or rule and the effect of the violation on the health, safety, 
200.30 	or rights of persons confined or incarcerated in the correctional facility.
200.31 	(d) If the facility administrator does not respond within 30 days to the notice of intent 
200.32 	to issue a revocation order or if the commissioner does not have assurance that satisfactory 
201.1 	progress toward substantial compliance with minimum standards will be made, the 
201.2 	commissioner shall issue a revocation order. The revocation order must be sent to the facility 
201.3 	administrator and the governing board of the facility, clearly stating:
201.4 	(1) the specific minimum standards violated, noting the implicated rule or law;
201.5 	(2) the findings that constitute a violation of minimum standards and the nature, 
201.6 	chronicity, or severity of those violations;
201.7 	(3) the corrective action needed;
201.8 	(4) any prior correction or conditional license orders issued to correct violations; and
201.9 	(5) the date at which the license revocation shall take place.
201.10 	A revocation order may authorize use until a certain date, not to exceed the duration of the 
201.11 	current license, unless a limited license is issued by the commissioner for purposes of 
201.12 	effectuating a facility closure and continued operation does not present an imminent risk 
201.13 	of life-threatening harm or is not likely to result in serious physical injury to the persons 
201.14 	confined or incarcerated in the facility.
201.15 	(e) After revocation of the facility's licensure, that facility shall not be used until the 
201.16 	license is renewed. When the commissioner is satisfied that satisfactory progress toward 
201.17 	substantial compliance with minimum standards is being made, the commissioner may, at 
201.18 	the request of the facility administrator supported by a written schedule for compliance, 
201.19 	reinstate the license.

201.20 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
201.21 	read:
201.22 		Subd. 1c.Temporary license suspension. The commissioner shall act immediately to 
201.23 	temporarily suspend a license issued under this chapter if:
201.24 	(1) the correctional facility's failure to comply with applicable minimum standards or 
201.25 	the conditions in the correctional facility pose an imminent risk of life-threatening harm or 
201.26 	serious physical injury to persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, staff, law 
201.27 	enforcement, visitors, or the public; and
201.28 	(i) if the imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury cannot be 
201.29 	promptly corrected through a different type of order under this section; and
201.30 	(ii) the correctional facility cannot or has not corrected the violation giving rise to the 
201.31 	imminent risk of life-threatening harm or serious physical injury; or
202.1 	(2) while the correctional facility continues to operate pending due notice and opportunity 
202.2 	for written response to the commissioner's notice of intent to issue an order of revocation, 
202.3 	the commissioner identifies one or more subsequent violations of minimum standards which 
202.4 	may adversely affect the health or safety of persons confined or incarcerated in the facility, 
202.5 	staff, law enforcement, visitors, or the public.
202.6 	A notice stating the reasons for the immediate suspension informing the facility 
202.7 	administrator must be delivered by personal service to the correctional facility administrator 
202.8 	and the governing board of the facility.

202.9 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
202.10 	read:
202.11 		Subd. 1d.Public notice of restriction, revocation, or suspension. If the license of a 
202.12 	facility under this section is revoked or suspended, or use of the facility is restricted for any 
202.13 	reason under a conditional license order, the commissioner shall post the facility, the status 
202.14 	of the facility's license, and the reason for the restriction, revocation, or suspension publicly 
202.15 	and on the department's website.

202.16 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
202.17 	to read:
202.18 		Subd. 1e.Reconsideration of orders; appeals. (a) If the facility administrator believes 
202.19 	the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in error, the facility 
202.20 	administrator may ask the Department of Corrections to reconsider the parts of the order or 
202.21 	action that are alleged to be in error. The request for reconsideration must:
202.22 	(1) be made in writing;
202.23 	(2) be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than 30 calendar days after 
202.24 	receipt of the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order;
202.25 	(3) specify the parts of the order that are alleged to be in error;
202.26 	(4) explain why the correction order, conditional license order, or revocation order is in 
202.27 	error; and

202.29 	The commissioner shall issue a disposition within 60 days of receipt of the facility 
202.30 	administrator's response to correction, conditional license, or revocation order violations. 
202.31 	A request for reconsideration does not stay any provisions or requirements of the order.
203.1 	(b) The facility administrator may request reconsideration of an order immediately 
203.2 	suspending a license. The request for reconsideration of an order immediately suspending 
203.3 	a license must be made in writing and sent by certified mail, personal service, or other means 
203.4 	expressly stated in the commissioner's order. If mailed, the request for reconsideration must 
203.5 	be postmarked and sent to the commissioner no later than five business days after the facility 
203.6 	administrator receives notice that the license has been immediately suspended. If a request 
203.7 	is made by personal service, it must be received by the commissioner no later than five 
203.8 	business days after the facility administrator received the order. The request for

204.17 	consult with the Minnesota Sheriffs' Association and a representative from the Minnesota 
204.18 	Association of Community Corrections Act Counties who is responsible for the operations 
204.19 	of an adult correctional facility to develop criteria for reporting and define reportable uses

205.14 	a report for each assessment and audit and submit the report to the state correctional facilities 
205.15 	security audit group within 30 days of completion of the audit.
205.16 	(b) Corrections and detention confidential data, as defined in section 13.85, subdivision 
205.17 	3, and nonpublic security information, as defined in section 13.37, subdivision 1, that is 
205.18 	contained in reports and records of the group maintain that classification, regardless of the

205.20 	to discovery or introduction into evidence in a civil or criminal action against the state 
205.21 	arising out of the matters the group is reviewing. Information, documents, and records 
205.22 	otherwise available from other sources are not immune from discovery or use in a civil or 
205.23 	criminal action solely because they were acquired during the group's audit. This section 
205.24 	does not limit a person who presented information to the group or who is a member of the 
205.25 	group from testifying about matters within the person's knowledge. However, in a civil or 
205.26 	criminal proceeding, a person may not be questioned about the person's good faith 
205.27 	presentation of information to the group or opinions formed by the person as a result of the

206.22 	them as needed. The group must report the standards to the chairs and ranking minority 
206.23 	members of the house of representatives and senate committees with jurisdiction over public

206.25 	(c) The group shall review facility audit reports submitted to the group by the agency's 
206.26 	inspection unit. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the group is entitled to review the 
206.27 	full audit reports including nonpublic security information and corrections and detention 
206.28 	confidential data. Within 60 days of receiving an audit report from the department's inspection 
206.29 	unit, the group must make recommendations to the commissioner. Within 45 days of 
206.30 	receiving the group's recommendations, the commissioner must reply in writing to the 
206.31 	group's findings and recommendations. The commissioner's response must explain whether 
206.32 	the agency will implement the group's recommendations, the timeline for implementation 
207.1 	of the changes, and, if not, why the commissioner will not or cannot implement the group's 
207.2 	recommendations.
207.3 	(d) Beginning in 2023, the commissioner must include a written aggregate of the group's 
207.4 	recommendations based on each security audit and assessment of a state correctional facility

207.11 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
207.12 	to read:
207.13 		Subd. 1i.Definition. As used in this section, "correctional facility" means any facility, 
207.14 	including a group home, having a residential component, the primary purpose of which is 
207.15 	to serve persons placed in facilities by a court, court services department, parole authority, 
207.16 	or other correctional agency having dispositional power over persons charged with, convicted, 
207.17 	or adjudicated guilty or delinquent.

207.18 	Sec. 15. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
207.19 	to read:
207.20 		Subd. 7.Intake release of information. All correctional facilities that confine or 
207.21 	incarcerate adults are required at intake to provide each person an authorization form to 
207.22 	release information related to that person's health or mental health condition and when that 
207.23 	information should be shared. This release form shall allow the individual to select if the 
207.24 	individual wants to require the correctional facility to make attempts to contact the designated 
207.25 	person to facilitate the sharing of health condition information upon incapacitation or if the 
207.26 	individual becomes unable to communicate or direct the sharing of this information, so long 
207.27 	as contact information was provided and the incapacitated individual or individual who is 
207.28 	unable to communicate or direct the sharing of this information is not subject to a court 
207.29 	order prohibiting contact with the designated person.

208.1 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 241.021, is amended by adding a subdivision 
208.2 	to read:
208.3 		Subd. 8.Death review teams. In the event a correctional facility receives information 
208.4 	of the death of an individual while committed to the custody of the facility, regardless of 
208.5 	whether the death occurred at the facility or after removal from the facility for medical care 
208.6 	stemming from an incident or need for medical care at the correctional facility, the 
208.7 	administrator of the facility, minimally including a medical expert of the facility's choosing 
208.8 	who did not provide medical services to the individual, and, if appropriate, a mental health 
208.9 	expert, shall review the circumstances of the death and assess for preventable mortality and 
208.10 	morbidity, including recommendations for policy or procedure change, within 90 days of 
208.11 	death. The investigating law enforcement agency may provide documentation, participate 
208.12 	in, or provide documentation and participate in the review in instances where criminal 
208.13 	charges were not brought. A preliminary autopsy report must be provided as part of the 
208.14 	review and any subsequent autopsy findings as available. The facility administrator shall 
208.15 	provide notice to the commissioner of corrections via the Department of Corrections detention 
208.16 	information system that the correctional facility has conducted a review and identify any 
208.17 	recommendations for changes in policy, procedure, or training that will be implemented. 
208.18 	Any report or other documentation created for purposes of a facility death review is 
208.19 	confidential as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 3. Nothing in this section relieves the 
208.20 	facility administrator from complying with the notice of death to the commissioner as 
208.21 	required by subdivision 1, paragraph (a).

208.22 	Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 243.48, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

208.24 	facilities audit group, the governor, lieutenant governor, members of the legislature, state 
208.25 	officers, and the ombudsperson for corrections may visit the inmates at pleasure, but no 
208.26 	other persons without permission of the chief executive officer of the facility, under rules 
208.27 	prescribed by the commissioner. A moderate fee may be required of visitors, other than 
208.28 	those allowed to visit at pleasure. All fees so collected shall be reported and remitted to the 
208.29 	commissioner of management and budget under rules as the commissioner may deem proper, 
208.30 	and when so remitted shall be placed to the credit of the general fund.

209.1 	Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 243.52, is amended to read:
209.2 	243.52 DISCIPLINE; PREVENTION OF ESCAPE; DUTY TO REPORT.
209.3 		Subdivision 1.Discipline and prevention of escape If any inmate of person confined

209.6 	any correctional officer or any other person or inmate, the assaulted person may use force 
209.7 	in defense of the assault, except as limited in this section. If any inmate confined or 
209.8 	incarcerated person attempts to damage the buildings or appurtenances, resists the lawful 
209.9 	authority of any correctional officer, refuses to obey the correctional officer's reasonable 
209.10 	demands, or attempts to escape, the correctional officer may enforce obedience and discipline 
209.11 	or prevent escape by the use of force. If any inmate confined or incarcerated person resisting 
209.12 	lawful authority is wounded or killed by the use of force by the correctional officer or 
209.13 	assistants, that conduct is authorized under this section.
209.14 		Subd. 2.Use of force. (a) Use of force must not be applied maliciously or sadistically 
209.15 	for the purpose of causing harm to a confined or incarcerated person.
209.16 	(b) Unless the use of deadly force is justified in this section, a correctional officer working 
209.17 	in an adult correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner of corrections 
209.18 	or licensed by the commissioner under section 241.021 may not use any of the following 
209.19 	restraints:
209.20 	(1) a choke hold;
209.21 	(2) a prone restraint;
209.22 	(3) tying all of a person's limbs together behind the person's back to render the person 
209.23 	immobile; or
209.24 	(4) securing a person in any way that results in transporting the person face down in a 
209.25 	vehicle, except as directed by a medical professional.
209.26 	(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given 
209.27 	them:
209.28 	(1) "choke hold" means a method by which a person applies sufficient pressure to a 
209.29 	person to make breathing difficult or impossible, and includes but is not limited to any 
209.30 	pressure to the neck, throat, or windpipe that may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce 
209.31 	intake of air. Choke hold also means applying pressure to a person's neck on either side of 
209.32 	the windpipe, but not to the windpipe itself, to stop the flow of blood to the brain via the 
209.33 	carotid arteries;
210.1 	(2) "prone restraint" means the use of manual restraint that places a person in a face-down 
210.2 	position; and
210.3 	As used in this section, "use of force" means conduct which is defined by sections 609.06
210.4 	to 609.066. (3) "deadly force" has the meaning given in section 609.066, subdivision 1.
210.5 	(d) Use of deadly force is justified only if an objectively reasonable correctional officer 
210.6 	would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time 
210.7 	and without the benefit of hindsight, that deadly force is necessary:
210.8 	(1) to protect the correctional officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided 
210.9 	that the threat:
210.10 	(i) can be articulated with specificity by the correctional officer;
210.11 	(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the correctional officer; and
210.12 	(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or
210.13 	(2) to effect the capture or prevent the escape of a person when the officer reasonably 
210.14 	believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the 
210.15 	threat criteria in clause (1), unless immediately apprehended.
210.16 		Subd. 3.Duty to report. (a) Regardless of tenure or rank, staff working in an adult 
210.17 	correctional facility either under the control of the commissioner of corrections or licensed 
210.18 	by the commissioner under section 241.021 who observe another employee engage in neglect 
210.19 	or use force that exceeds the degree of force permitted by law must report the incident in 
210.20 	writing as soon as practicable, but no later than 24 hours to the administrator of the 
210.21 	correctional facility that employs the reporting staff member.
210.22 	(b) A staff member who fails to report neglect or excessive use of force within 24 hours 
210.23 	is subject to disciplinary action or sanction by the correctional facility that employs them. 
210.24 	Staff members shall suffer no reprisal for reporting another staff member engaged in 
210.25 	excessive use of force or neglect.
210.26 	(c) For the purposes of this subdivision, "neglect" means:
210.27 	(1) the knowing failure or omission to supply a person confined or incarcerated in the 
210.28 	facility with care or services, including but not limited to food, clothing, health care, or 
210.29 	supervision that is reasonable and necessary to obtain or maintain the person's physical or 
210.30 	mental health or safety; or
210.31 	(2) the absence or likelihood of absence of care or services, including but not limited to 
210.32 	food, clothing, health care, or supervision necessary to maintain the physical and mental 
211.1 	health of the person that a reasonable person would deem essential for health, safety, or 
211.2 	comfort.

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

211.4 	Sec. 19. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 244.19, subdivision 3, is amended to read:

211.11 	during or after trial or hearing when so directed by the court, and to keep such records and 
211.12 	to make such reports to the court as the court may order.
211.13 	All county probation officers serving a district court shall, in addition, provide probation 
211.14 	and parole services to wards of the commissioner of corrections resident in the counties 
211.15 	they serve, and shall act under the orders of said commissioner of corrections in reference 
211.16 	to any ward committed to their care by the commissioner of corrections.
211.17 	All probation officers serving a district court shall, under the direction of the authority 
211.18 	having power to appoint them, initiate programs for the welfare of persons coming within 
211.19 	the jurisdiction of the court to prevent delinquency and crime and to rehabilitate within the 
211.20 	community persons who come within the jurisdiction of the court and are properly subject 
211.21 	to efforts to accomplish prevention and rehabilitation. They shall, under the direction of the 
211.22 	court, cooperate with all law enforcement agencies, schools, child welfare agencies of a

211.25 	All probation officers serving a district court shall make monthly and annual reports to 
211.26 	the commissioner of corrections, on forms furnished by the commissioner, containing such

212.3 	the movement of a person's body or limbs.
212.4 	(b) Restraints may not be used on a child appearing in court in a proceeding under this 
212.5 	chapter unless the court finds that:
212.6 	(1) the use of restraints is necessary:
212.7 	(i) to prevent physical harm to the child or another; or
212.8 	(ii) to prevent the child from fleeing in situations in which the child presents a substantial 
212.9 	risk of flight from the courtroom; and
212.10 	(2) there are no less restrictive alternatives to restraints that will prevent flight or physical 
212.11 	harm to the child or another, including but not limited to the presence of court personnel, 
212.12 	law enforcement officers, or bailiffs.
212.13 	The finding in clause (1), item (i), may be based, among other things, on the child having 
212.14 	a history of disruptive courtroom behavior or behavior while in custody for any current or 
212.15 	prior offense that has placed others in potentially harmful situations, or presenting a 
212.16 	substantial risk of inflicting physical harm on the child or others as evidenced by past 
212.17 	behavior. The court may take into account the physical structure of the courthouse in 
212.18 	assessing the applicability of the above factors to the individual child.
212.19 	(c) The court shall be provided the child's behavior history and shall provide the child 
212.20 	an opportunity to be heard in person or through counsel before ordering the use of restraints. 
212.21 	If restraints are ordered, the court shall make findings of fact in support of the order.
212.22 	(d) By April 1, 2022, each judicial district shall develop a protocol to address how to 
212.23 	implement and comply with this section. In developing the protocol, a district shall consult

609.5317 REAL PROPERTY; SEIZURES.Subdivision 1.Rental property. 
(a) When contraband or a controlled substance manufactured, distributed, or acquired in violation of chapter 152 is seized on residential rental property incident to a lawful search or arrest, the prosecuting authority shall give the notice required by this subdivision to (1) the landlord of the property or the fee owner identified in the records of the county assessor, and (2) the agent authorized by the owner to accept service pursuant to section 504B.181. The notice is not required during an ongoing investigation. The notice shall state what has been seized and specify the applicable duties and penalties under this subdivision. The notice shall state that the landlord who chooses to assign the right to bring an eviction action retains all rights and duties, including removal of a tenant's personal property following issuance of the writ of recovery and delivery of the writ to the sheriff for execution. The notice shall also state that the landlord may contact the prosecuting authority if threatened by the tenant. Notice shall be sent by certified letter, return receipt requested, within 30 days of the seizure. If receipt is not returned, notice shall be given in the manner provided by law for service of summons in a civil action. 

(b) Within 15 days after notice of the first occurrence, the landlord shall bring, or assign to the prosecuting authority of the county in which the real property is located, the right to bring an eviction action against the tenant. The assignment must be in writing on a form prepared by the prosecuting authority. Should the landlord choose to assign the right to bring an eviction action, the assignment shall be limited to those rights and duties up to and including delivery of the writ of recovery to the sheriff for execution. 

(c) Upon notice of a second occurrence on any residential rental property owned by the same landlord in the same county and involving the same tenant, and within one year after notice of the first occurrence, the property is subject to forfeiture under sections 609.531, 609.5311, 609.5313, and 609.5315, unless an eviction action has been commenced as provided in paragraph (b) or the right to bring an eviction action was assigned to the prosecuting authority as provided in paragraph (b). If the right has been assigned and not previously exercised, or if the prosecuting authority requests an assignment and the landlord makes an assignment, the prosecuting authority may bring an eviction action rather than an action for forfeiture. 

(d) The Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit shall not seize real property for the purposes of forfeiture as described in paragraphs (a) to (c). 

Subd. 2.Additional remedies. 
Nothing in subdivision 1 prevents the prosecuting authority from proceeding under section 609.5311 whenever that section applies. 

Subd. 3.Defenses. 
It is a defense against a proceeding under subdivision 1, paragraph (b), that the tenant had no knowledge or reason to know of the presence of the contraband or controlled substance or could not prevent its being brought onto the property. 

It is a defense against a proceeding under subdivision 1, paragraph (c), that the landlord made every reasonable attempt to evict a tenant or to assign the prosecuting authority the right to bring an eviction action against the tenant, or that the landlord did not receive notice of the seizure. 

Subd. 4.Limitations. 
This section shall not apply if the retail value of the controlled substance is less than $100, but this section does not subject real property to forfeiture under section 609.5311 unless the retail value of the controlled substance is: (1) $1,000 or more; or (2) there have been two previous controlled substance seizures involving the same tenant.

If the victim is a minor, the court or its designee shall, if appropriate, also make reasonable good faith efforts to inform the victim's parent or guardian of the right to notice of release and notice of expungement. The state court administrator, in consultation with the commissioner of corrections and the prosecuting authorities, shall prepare a form that outlines the notice of release and notice of expungement provisions under section 611A.06 and describes how a victim should complete and submit a request to the commissioner of corrections or other custodial authority to be informed of an offender's release or submit a request to the prosecuting authorities to be informed of an offender's petition for expungement. The state court administrator shall make these forms available to court administrators who shall assist the court in disseminating right to notice of offender release and notice of expungement information to victims.
