authority, in an amount equal to the actual cost to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension

(3) the individual who is the subject of the criminal background check executes a
written consent form giving a school hiring authority access to the results of the check; and

background check from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on
any individual who seeks to enter a school or its grounds for the purpose of serving as a
school volunteer or working as an independent contractor or student employee. In order
for an individual to enter a school or its grounds under this paragraph when the school
hiring authority decides to request a criminal history background check on the individual,
the individual first must provide an executed criminal history consent form and a money
order, check, or other negotiable instrument payable to the school district in an amount
equal to the actual cost to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the school district

order, check, or other negotiable instrument payable to the school hiring authority in an
amount equal to the actual cost to the government agencies and the school district of
conducting the criminal history background check. Notwithstanding section 299C.62,
subdivision 1, the cost of the criminal history background check under this paragraph is
the responsibility of the individual.

provide services to the school, and identify those positions subject to a background check
and the extent of the hiring authority's discretion in requiring a background check. The

guide, or other similar communication. Nothing in this paragraph affects a school hiring
authority's ability to request a criminal history background check on an individual under
paragraph (c).

voided by the admittance of the abusing party into the dwelling from which the abusing
party is excluded.

the parties, the court shall provide a copy of the order for protection to the court with

a fixed period set by the court, as provided in subdivision 6, paragraph (b), or until
modified or vacated by the court pursuant to a hearing. When signed by a referee, the ex

hearing, the petition mailed to the respondent's residence, if known, must be accompanied

personal service is completed, if service by published notice is not completed within 28
days of issuance of the ex parte order, the order expires.
