Subd. 1a.

deleted text begin Exceptiondeleted text end new text begin Correctional facilitiesnew text end .

for commitment under deleted text begin section 253B.185deleted text end new text begin this chapternew text end and who is placed under a judicial
hold order under section 253B.07, subdivision 2b or 7, may be confined at a Department
of Corrections or a county correctional or detention facility, rather than a secure treatment
facility, until a determination of the commitment petition as specified in this subdivision.

(b) A court may order that a person who is being petitioned for commitment under
deleted text begin section 253B.185deleted text end new text begin this chapternew text end be confined in a Department of Corrections facility pursuant
to the judicial hold order under the following circumstances and conditions:

(1) The person is currently serving a sentence in a Department of Corrections
facility and the court determines that the person has made a knowing and voluntary (i)
waiver of the right to be held in a secure treatment facility and (ii) election to be held in a
Department of Corrections facility. The order confining the person in the Department of
Corrections facility shall remain in effect until the court vacates the order or the person's
criminal sentence and conditional release term expire.

In no case may the person be held in a Department of Corrections facility pursuant
only to this subdivision, and not pursuant to any separate correctional authority, for more
than 210 days.

(2) A person who has elected to be confined in a Department of Corrections facility
under this subdivision may revoke the election by filing a written notice of intent to revoke
the election with the court and serving the notice upon the Department of Corrections and
the county attorney. The court shall order the person transferred to a secure treatment
facility within 15 days of the date that the notice of revocation was filed with the court,
except that, if the person has additional time to serve in prison at the end of the 15-day
period, the person shall not be transferred to a secure treatment facility until the person's
prison term expires. After a person has revoked an election to remain in a Department of
Corrections facility under this subdivision, the court may not adopt another election to
remain in a Department of Corrections facility without the agreement of both parties and
the Department of Corrections.

(3) Upon petition by the commissioner of corrections, after notice to the parties
and opportunity for hearing and for good cause shown, the court may order that the
person's place of confinement be changed from the Department of Corrections to a secure
treatment facility.

(4) While at a Department of Corrections facility pursuant to this subdivision, the
person shall remain subject to all rules and practices applicable to correctional inmates
in the facility in which the person is placed including, but not limited to, the powers and
duties of the commissioner of corrections under section 241.01, powers relating to use of
force under section 243.52, and the right of the commissioner of corrections to determine
the place of confinement in a prison, reformatory, or other facility.

(5) A person may not be confined in a Department of Corrections facility under this
provision beyond the end of the person's executed sentence or the end of any applicable
conditional release period, whichever is later. If a person confined in a Department of
Corrections facility pursuant to this provision reaches the person's supervised release
date and is subject to a period of conditional release, the period of conditional release
shall commence on the supervised release date even though the person remains in the
Department of Corrections facility pursuant to this provision. At the end of the later of
the executed sentence or any applicable conditional release period, the person shall be
transferred to a secure treatment facility.

(6) Nothing in this section may be construed to establish a right of an inmate in a
state correctional facility to participate in sex offender treatment. This section must be
construed in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 244.03.

(c) The committing county may offer a person who is being petitioned for
commitment under deleted text begin section 253B.185deleted text end new text begin this chapternew text end and who is placed under a judicial
hold order under section 253B.07, subdivision 2b or 7, the option to be held in a county
correctional or detention facility rather than a secure treatment facility, under such terms
as may be agreed to by the county, the commitment petitioner, and the commitment
respondent. If a person makes such an election under this paragraph, the court hold order
shall specify the terms of the agreement, including the conditions for revoking the election.
