The notice must state that a permanent home is sought for 80.36 the child and that the individuals receiving the notice may 81.1 indicate to the agency their interest in providing a permanent 81.2 home. The notice must contain an advisory that if the relative 81.3 chooses not to be a placement resource at the beginning of the 81.4 case, this may affect the relative's rights to have the child 81.5 placed with that relative permanently later on. 81.6 Sec. 5.

The study and report shall be 83.24 completed by a licensed child-placing agency and must be 83.25 thorough and comprehensive. The study and report shall be paid 83.26 for by the prospective adoptive parent, except as otherwise 83.27 required under section 259.67 or 259.73. 83.28 A stepparent adoption is not subject to this section. 83.29 In the case of a licensed foster parent seeking to adopt a 83.30 child who is in the foster parent's care, any portions of the 83.31 foster care licensing process that duplicate requirements of the 83.32 home study may be submitted in satisfaction of the relevant 83.33 requirements of this section. 83.34 At a minimum, the study must include the following about 83.35 the prospective adoptive parent: 83.36 (1) a check of criminal conviction data, data on 84.1 substantiated maltreatment of a child under section 626.556, and 84.2 domestic violence data of each person over the age of 13 living 84.3 in the home.

An order must be sought at the same time a 85.21 petition for adoption is filed. The court shall not enter a 85.22 proposed order unless the terms of the order have been approved 85.23 in writing by the prospective adoptive parents, a birth relative 85.24 who desires to be a party to the agreement, and, if the child is 85.25 in the custody or under the guardianship of an agency, a 85.26 representative of the agency. An agreement under this section 85.27 need not disclose the identity of the parties to be legally 85.28 enforceable. The court shall not enter a proposed order unless 85.29 the court finds that the communication or contact between the 85.30 minor adoptee, the adoptive parents, and a birth relative as 85.31 agreed upon and contained in the proposed order would be in the 85.32 minor adoptee's best interests. 85.33 (b) Failure to comply with the terms of an agreed order 85.34 regarding communication or contact that has been entered by the 85.35 court under this section is not grounds for: 85.36 (1) setting aside an adoption decree; or 86.1 (2) revocation of a written consent to an adoption after 86.2 that consent has become irrevocable. 86.3 (c) An agreed order entered under this section may be 86.4 enforced or modified by filing a petition or motion with the 86.5 family court that includes a certified copy of the order 86.6 granting the communication, contact, or visitation, but only if 86.7 the petition or motion is accompanied by an affidavit that the 86.8 parties have mediated or attempted to mediate any dispute under 86.9 the agreement or that the parties agree to a proposed 86.10 modification. The prevailing party may be awarded reasonable 86.11 attorney's fees and costs. The court shall not modify an agreed 86.12 order under this section unless it finds that the modification 86.13 is necessary to serve the best interests of the minor adoptee, 86.14 and: 86.15 (1) the modification is agreed to by the adoptive parent 86.16 and the birth relative; or 86.17 (2) exceptional circumstances have arisen since the agreed 86.18 order was entered that justify modification of the order. 86.19 Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 259.59, is 86.20 amended by adding a subdivision to read: 86.21 Subd. 3.

[ADOPTION ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT.] The placing 86.28 agency shall certify a child as eligible for adoption assistance 86.29 according to rules promulgated by the commissioner.WhenNot 86.30 later than 30 days after a parent or parents are found and 86.31 approved for adoptive placement of a child certified as eligible 86.32 for adoption assistance, and before the final decree of adoption 86.33 is issued, a written agreement must be entered into by the 86.34 commissioner, the adoptive parent or parents, and the placing 86.35 agency. The written agreement must be in the form prescribed by 86.36 the commissioner and must set forth the responsibilities of all 87.1 parties, the anticipated duration of the adoption assistance 87.2 payments, and the payment terms. The adoption assistance 87.3 agreement shall be subject to the commissioner's approval, which 87.4 must be granted or denied not later than 15 days after the 87.5 agreement is entered. 87.6 The amount of adoption assistance is subject to the 87.7 availability of state and federal funds and shall be determined 87.8 through agreement with the adoptive parents. The agreement 87.9 shall take into consideration the circumstances of the adopting 87.10 parent or parents, the needs of the child being adopted and may 87.11 provide ongoing monthly assistance, supplemental maintenance 87.12 expenses related to the adopted person's special needs, 87.13 nonmedical expenses periodically necessary for purchase of 87.14 services, items, or equipment related to the special needs, and 87.15 medical expenses. The placing agency or the adoptive parent or 87.16 parents shall provide written documentation to support the need 87.17 for adoption assistance payments. The commissioner may require 87.18 periodic reevaluation of adoption assistance payments. The 87.19 amount of ongoing monthly adoption assistance granted may in no 87.20 case exceed that which would be allowable for the child under 87.21 foster family care and is subject to the availability of state 87.22 and federal funds. 87.23 Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.012, is 87.24 amended to read: 87.25 260.012 [DUTY TO ENSURE PLACEMENT PREVENTION AND FAMILY 87.26 REUNIFICATION; REASONABLE EFFORTS.] 87.27 (a) If a child in need of protection or services is under 87.28 the court's jurisdiction, the court shall ensure that reasonable 87.29 efforts including culturally appropriate services by the social 87.30 service agency are made to prevent placement or to eliminate the 87.31 need for removal and to reunite the child with the child's 87.32 family at the earliest possible time, consistent with the best 87.33 interests, safety, and protection of the child. The court may, 87.34 upon motion and hearing, order the cessation of reasonable 87.35 efforts if the court finds that provision of services or further 87.36 services for the purpose of rehabilitation and reunification is 88.1 futile and therefore unreasonable under the circumstances. In 88.2 the case of an Indian child, in proceedings under sections 88.3 260.172, 260.191, and 260.221 the juvenile court must make 88.4 findings and conclusions consistent with the Indian Child 88.5 Welfare Act of 1978, United States Code, title 25, section 1901 88.6 et seq., as to the provision of active efforts. If a child is 88.7 under the court's delinquency jurisdiction, it shall be the duty 88.8 of the court to ensure that reasonable efforts are made to 88.9 reunite the child with the child's family at the earliest 88.10 possible time, consistent with the best interests of the child 88.11 and the safety of the public. 88.12 (b) "Reasonable efforts" means the exercise of due 88.13 diligence by the responsible social service agency to use 88.14 appropriate and available services to meet the needs of the 88.15 child and the child's family in order to prevent removal of the 88.16 child from the child's family; or upon removal, services to 88.17 eliminate the need for removal and reunite the family. Services 88.18 may include those listed under section 256F.07, subdivision 3, 88.19 and other appropriate services available in the community. The 88.20 social service agency has the burden of demonstrating that it 88.21 has made reasonable efforts.or that provision of services or 88.22 further services for the purpose of rehabilitation and 88.23 reunification is futile and therefore unreasonable under the 88.24 circumstances. Reunification of a surviving child with a parent 88.25 is not required if the parent has been convicted of: 88.26 (1) a violation of, or an attempt or conspiracy to commit a 88.27 violation of, any offense in sections 609.185 to 609.20; 88.28 609.222, subdivision 2; or 609.223 in regard to another child of 88.29 the parent; 88.30 (2) a violation of an offense in section 609.222, 88.31 subdivision 2; or 609.223, in regard to the surviving child; or 88.32 (3) a violation of, or an attempt or conspiracy to commit a 88.33 violation of, United States Code, title 18, section 1111(a) or 88.34 1112(a), in regard to another child of the parent. 88.35 (c) The juvenile court, in proceedings under sections 88.36 260.172, 260.191, and 260.221 shall make findings and 89.1 conclusions as to the provision of reasonable efforts. When 89.2 determining whether reasonable efforts have been made, the court 89.3 shall consider whether services to the child and family were: 89.4 (1) relevant to the safety and protection of the child; 89.5 (2) adequate to meet the needs of the child and family; 89.6 (3) culturally appropriate; 89.7 (4) available and accessible; 89.8 (5) consistent and timely; and 89.9 (6) realistic under the circumstances. 89.10 In the alternative, the court may determine that provision 89.11 of services or further services for the purpose of 89.12 rehabilitation is futile and therefore unreasonable under the 89.13 circumstances. 89.14 (d) This section does not prevent out-of-home placement for 89.15 treatment of a child with a mental disability when the child's 89.16 diagnostic assessment or individual treatment plan indicates 89.17 that appropriate and necessary treatment cannot be effectively 89.18 provided outside of a residential or inpatient treatment program. 89.19 Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.015, 89.20 subdivision 2a, is amended to read: 89.21 Subd. 2a.

If the matter is 92.32 set for hearing, the court administrator shall notify the local 92.33 social service agency by sending notice to the county attorney. 92.34 The petition must contain: 92.35 (1) a statement of facts that would establish, if proven, 92.36 that there is a need for protection or services for the child 93.1 named in the petition; 93.2 (2) a statement that petitioner has reported the 93.3 circumstances underlying the petition to the local social 93.4 service agency, and protection or services were not provided to 93.5 the child; 93.6 (3) a statement whether there are existing juvenile or 93.7 family court custody orders or pending proceedings in juvenile 93.8 or family court concerning the child; and 93.9 (4) a statement of the relationship of the petitioner to 93.10 the child and any other parties. 93.11 The court may not allow a petition to proceed under this 93.12 paragraph if it appears that the sole purpose of the petition is 93.13 to modify custody between the parents. 93.14 Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.131, 93.15 subdivision 2, is amended to read: 93.16 Subd. 2. The petition shall be verified by the person 93.17 having knowledge of the facts and may be on information and 93.18 belief.

At the first hearing following the 93.34 filing of a petition, the court shall ask whether the child has 93.35 lived with a grandparent within the last two years, except that 93.36 the court need not make this inquiry if the petition states that 94.1 the child did not live with a grandparent during this time 94.2 period. Failure to notify a grandparent of the proceedings is 94.3 not a jurisdictional defect. 94.4 If, in a proceeding involving a child in need of protection 94.5 or services, the local social service agency recommends transfer 94.6 of permanent legal and physical custody to a relative, the 94.7 relative has a right to participate as a party, and thereafter 94.8 shall receive notice of any hearing in the proceedings. The 94.9 relative has a right to counsel for proceedings on the permanent 94.10 placement and the court shall appoint counsel at public expense 94.11 if they are unable to afford counsel.

[REVIEW OF COURT ORDERED PLACEMENTS; PERMANENT 99.24 PLACEMENT DETERMINATION.] (a)If the court places a child in a99.25residential facility, as defined in section 257.071, subdivision99.261,The court shall conduct a hearing to determine the permanent 99.27 status ofthea child not later than 12 months after the child 99.28wasis placed out of the home of the parent. 99.29 For purposes of this subdivision, the date of the child's 99.30 placement out of the home of the parent is the earlier of the 99.31 first court-ordered placement or the first court approved 99.32 placement under section 257.071, subdivision 3, of a child who 99.33 had been in voluntary placement. 99.34 For purposes of this subdivision, 12 months is calculated 99.35 as follows: 99.36 (1) during the pendency of a petition alleging that a child 100.1 is in need of protection or services, all time periods a child 100.2 is placed out of the home of the parent are cumulated; 100.3 (2) if a child has been placed out of the home of the 100.4 parent within the previous five years in connection with one or 100.5 more prior petitions for a child in need of protection or 100.6 services, the length of all prior time periods the child was 100.7 placed out of the home within the previous five years and under 100.8 the current petition, are cumulated. If a child under this 100.9 clause has been out of the home for 12 months or more, the 100.10 court, if it is in the best interests of the child, may extend 100.11 the total time the child may continue out of the home under the 100.12 current petition up to an additional six months before making a 100.13 permanency determination. 100.14 (b) Not later than ten days prior to this hearing, the 100.15 responsible social service agency shall file pleadings to 100.16 establish the basis for the permanent placement determination. 100.17 Notice of the hearing and copies of the pleadings must be 100.18 provided pursuant to section 260.141. If a termination of 100.19 parental rights petition is filed before the date required for 100.20 the permanency planning determination, no hearing need be 100.21 conducted under thissectionsubdivision. The court shall 100.22 determine whether the child is to be returned home or, if not, 100.23 what permanent placement is consistent with the child's best 100.24 interests. The "best interests of the child" means all relevant 100.25 factors to be considered and evaluated. 100.26 (c) If the child is not returned to the home, the 100.27 dispositions available for permanent placement determination are: 100.28 (1) permanent legal and physical custody to a relative 100.29pursuant to the standards and procedures applicable under100.30chapter 257 or 518in the best interests of the child. The 100.31 social service agency may petition on behalf of the proposed 100.32 custodian; 100.33 (2) termination of parental rights and adoption; the social 100.34 service agency shall file a petition for termination of parental 100.35 rights under section 260.231 and all the requirements of 100.36 sections 260.221 to 260.245 remain applicable. An adoption 101.1 ordered under this subdivision may include an agreement for 101.2 communication or contact under section 259.58;or101.3 (3) long-term foster care; transfer of legal custody and 101.4 adoption are preferred permanency options for a child who cannot 101.5 return home. The court may order a child into long-term foster 101.6 care only if it finds that neither an award of legal and 101.7 physical custody to a relative, nor termination of parental 101.8 rights nor adoption is in the child's best interests. Further, 101.9 the court may only order long-term foster care for the child 101.10 under this section if it finds the following: 101.11 (i) the child has reached age 12 and reasonable efforts by 101.12 the responsible social service agency have failed to locate an 101.13 adoptive family for the child; or 101.14 (ii) the child is a sibling of a child described in clause 101.15 (i) and the siblings have a significant positive relationship 101.16 and are ordered into the same long-term foster care home.; or 101.17 (4) foster care for a specified period of time may be 101.18 ordered only if: 101.19 (i) the sole basis for an adjudication that a child is in 101.20 need of protection or services is that the child is a runaway, 101.21 is an habitual truant, or committed a delinquent act before age 101.22 ten; and 101.23 (ii) the court finds that foster care for a specified 101.24 period of time is in the best interests of the child. 101.25(b) The court may extend the time period for determination101.26of permanent placement to 18 months after the child was placed101.27in a residential facility if:101.28(1) there is a substantial probability that the child will101.29be returned home within the next six months;101.30(2) the agency has not made reasonable, or, in the case of101.31an Indian child, active efforts, to correct the conditions that101.32form the basis of the out-of-home placement; or101.33(3) extraordinary circumstances exist precluding a101.34permanent placement determination, in which case the court shall101.35make written findings documenting the extraordinary101.36circumstances and order one subsequent review after six months102.1to determine permanent placement. A court finding that102.2extraordinary circumstances exist precluding a permanent102.3placement determination must be supported by detailed factual102.4findings regarding those circumstances.102.5(c)(d) In ordering a permanent placement of a child, the 102.6 court must be governed by the best interests of the child, 102.7 including a review of the relationship between the child and 102.8 relatives and the child and other important persons with whom 102.9 the child has resided or had significant contact. 102.10(d)(e) Once a permanent placement determination has been 102.11 made and permanent placement has been established, further 102.12 reviews are only necessary if the placement is made under 102.13 paragraph (c), clause (4), review is otherwise required by 102.14 federal law, an adoption has not yet been finalized, or there is 102.15 a disruption of the permanent or long-term placement. If 102.16 required, reviews must take place no less frequently than every 102.17 six months. 102.18(e)(f) An order under this subdivision must include the 102.19 following detailed findings: 102.20 (1) how the child's best interests are served by the order; 102.21 (2) the nature and extent of the responsible social service 102.22 agency's reasonable efforts, or, in the case of an Indian child, 102.23 active efforts, to reunify the child with the parent or parents; 102.24 (3) the parent's or parents' efforts and ability to use 102.25 services to correct the conditions which led to the out-of-home 102.26 placement; 102.27 (4) whether the conditions which led to the out-of-home 102.28 placement have been corrected so that the child can return home; 102.29 and 102.30 (5) if the child cannot be returned home, whether there is 102.31 a substantial probability of the child being able to return home 102.32 in the next six months. 102.33(f)(g) An order for permanent legal and physical custody 102.34 of a child may be modified under sections 518.18 and 518.185. 102.35 The social service agency is a party to the proceeding and must 102.36 receive notice. An order for long-term foster care is 103.1 reviewable upon motion and a showing by the parent of a 103.2 substantial change in the parent's circumstances such that the 103.3 parent could provide appropriate care for the child and that 103.4 removal of the child from the child's permanent placement and 103.5 the return to the parent's care would be in the best interest of 103.6 the child. 103.7 Sec. 27. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.191, 103.8 subdivision 4, is amended to read: 103.9 Subd. 4.

[VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY.] The juvenile 105.2 court may upon petition, terminate all rights of a parent to a 105.3 child in the following cases: 105.4 (a) With the written consent of a parent who for good cause 105.5 desires to terminate parental rights; or 105.6 (b) If it finds that one or more of the following 105.7 conditions exist: 105.8 (1) that the parent has abandoned the child. Abandonment 105.9 is presumed when: 105.10 (i) the parent has had no contact with the child on a 105.11 regular basis and no demonstrated, consistent interest in the 105.12 child's well-being for six months; and 105.13 (ii) the social service agency has made reasonable efforts 105.14 to facilitate contact, unless the parent establishes that an 105.15 extreme financial or physical hardship or treatment for mental 105.16 disability or chemical dependency or other good cause prevented 105.17 the parent from making contact with the child. This presumption 105.18 does not apply to children whose custody has been determined 105.19 under chapter 257 or 518. The court is not prohibited from 105.20 finding abandonment in the absence of this presumption; or 105.21 (2) that the parent has substantially, continuously, or 105.22 repeatedly refused or neglected to comply with the duties 105.23 imposed upon that parent by the parent and child relationship, 105.24 including but not limited to providing the child with necessary 105.25 food, clothing, shelter, education, and other care and control 105.26 necessary for the child's physical, mental, or emotional health 105.27 and development, if the parent is physically and financially 105.28 able, and reasonable efforts by the social service agency have 105.29 failed to correct the conditions that formed the basis of the 105.30 petition; or 105.31 (3) that a parent has been ordered to contribute to the 105.32 support of the child or financially aid in the child's birth and 105.33 has continuously failed to do so without good cause. This 105.34 clause shall not be construed to state a grounds for termination 105.35 of parental rights of a noncustodial parent if that parent has 105.36 not been ordered to or cannot financially contribute to the 106.1 support of the child or aid in the child's birth; or 106.2 (4) that a parent is palpably unfit to be a party to the 106.3 parent and child relationship because of a consistent pattern of 106.4 specific conduct before the child or of specific conditions 106.5 directly relating to the parent and child relationship either of 106.6 which are determined by the court to be of a duration or nature 106.7 that renders the parent unable, for the reasonably foreseeable 106.8 future, to care appropriately for the ongoing physical, mental, 106.9 or emotional needs of the child. It is presumed that a parent 106.10 is palpably unfit to be a party to the parent and child 106.11 relationship upon a showing that: 106.12 (i) the child was adjudicated in need of protection or 106.13 services due to circumstances described in section 260.015, 106.14 subdivision 2a, clause (1), (2), (3), (5), or (8); and 106.15 (ii)within the three-year period immediately prior to that106.16adjudication,the parent's parental rights to one or more other 106.17 children were involuntarily terminated under clause (1), (2), 106.18 (4), or (7), or under clause (5) if the child was initially 106.19 determined to be in need of protection or services due to 106.20 circumstances described in section 260.015, subdivision 2a, 106.21 clause (1), (2), (3), (5), or (8); or 106.22 (5) that following upon a determination of neglect or 106.23 dependency, or of a child's need for protection or services, 106.24 reasonable efforts, under the direction of the court, have 106.25 failed to correct the conditions leading to the determination. 106.26 It is presumed that reasonable efforts under this clause have 106.27 failed upon a showing that: 106.28 (i) a child has resided out of the parental home under 106.29 court order for a cumulative period of more than one year within 106.30 a five-year period following an adjudication of dependency, 106.31 neglect, need for protection or services under section 260.015, 106.32 subdivision 2a, clause (1), (2), (3), (6), (8), or (9), or 106.33 neglected and in foster care, and an order for disposition under 106.34 section 260.191, including adoption of the case plan required by 106.35 section 257.071; 106.36 (ii) conditions leading to the determination will not be 107.1 corrected within the reasonably foreseeable future. It is 107.2 presumed that conditions leading to a child's out-of-home 107.3 placement will not be corrected in the reasonably foreseeable 107.4 future upon a showing that the parent or parents have not 107.5 substantially complied with the court's orders and a reasonable 107.6 case plan, and the conditions which led to the out-of-home 107.7 placement have not been corrected; and 107.8 (iii) reasonable efforts have been made by the social 107.9 service agency to rehabilitate the parent and reunite the family. 107.10 This clause does not prohibit the termination of parental 107.11 rights prior to one year after a child has been placed out of 107.12 the home. 107.13 It is also presumed that reasonable efforts have failed 107.14 under this clause upon a showing that: 107.15 (i) the parent has been diagnosed as chemically dependent 107.16 by a professional certified to make the diagnosis; 107.17 (ii) the parent has been required by a case plan to 107.18 participate in a chemical dependency treatment program; 107.19 (iii) the treatment programs offered to the parent were 107.20 culturally, linguistically, and clinically appropriate; 107.21 (iv) the parent has either failed two or more times to 107.22 successfully complete a treatment program or has refused at two 107.23 or more separate meetings with a caseworker to participate in a 107.24 treatment program; and 107.25 (v) the parent continues to abuse chemicals. 107.26 Provided, that this presumption applies only to parents required 107.27 by a case plan to participate in a chemical dependency treatment 107.28 program on or after July 1, 1990; or 107.29 (6) that a child has experienced egregious harm in the 107.30 parent's care which is of a nature, duration, or chronicity that 107.31 indicates a lack of regard for the child's well-being, such that 107.32 a reasonable person would believe it contrary to the best 107.33 interest of the child or of any child to be in the parent's 107.34 care; or 107.35 (7) that in the case of a child born to a mother who was 107.36 not married to the child's father when the child was conceived 108.1 nor when the child was born the person is not entitled to notice 108.2 of an adoption hearing under section 259.49 and either the 108.3 person has not filed a notice of intent to retain parental 108.4 rights under section 259.51 or that the notice has been 108.5 successfully challenged;or108.6 (8) that the child is neglected and in foster care. 108.7 In an action involving an American Indian child, sections 257.35 108.8 to 257.3579 and the Indian Child Welfare Act, United States 108.9 Code, title 25, sections 1901 to 1923, control to the extent 108.10 that the provisions of this section are inconsistent with those 108.11 laws; or 108.12 (9) that the parent has been convicted of a crime listed in 108.13 section 260.012, paragraph (b), clauses (1) to (3). 108.14 Sec. 30. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.221, 108.15 subdivision 5, is amended to read: 108.16 Subd. 5. [FINDINGS REGARDING REASONABLE EFFORTS.] In any 108.17 proceeding under this section, the court shall make specific 108.18 findings: 108.19 (1) regarding the nature and extent of efforts made by the 108.20 social service agency to rehabilitate the parent and reunite the 108.21 family.; 108.22 (2) that provision of services or further services for the 108.23 purpose of rehabilitation and reunification is futile and 108.24 therefore unreasonable under the circumstances; or 108.25 (3) that reunification is not required because the parent 108.26 has been convicted of a crime listed in section 260.012, 108.27 paragraph (b), clauses (1) to (3). 108.28 Sec. 31. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.241, 108.29 subdivision 1, is amended to read: 108.30 Subdivision 1. If, after a hearing, the court finds by 108.31 clear and convincing evidence that one or more of the conditions 108.32 set out in section 260.221 exist, it may terminate parental 108.33 rights. Upon the termination of parental rights all rights, 108.34 powers, privileges, immunities, duties, and obligations, 108.35 including any rights to custody, control, visitation, or support 108.36 existing between the child and parent shall be severed and 109.1 terminated and the parent shall have no standing to appear at 109.2 any further legal proceeding concerning the child. Provided, 109.3 however, that a parent whose parental rights are terminated: 109.4 (1) shall remain liable for the unpaid balance of any 109.5 support obligation owed under a court order upon the effective 109.6 date of the order terminating parental rights; and 109.7 (2) may be a party to a communication or contact agreement 109.8 under section 259.58. 109.9 Sec. 32.

The orders shall be on a document separate from 109.16 the findings. The court shall furnish the individual to whom 109.17 guardianship is transferred a copy of the order terminating 109.18 parental rights. 109.19 (b) The court shall retain jurisdiction in a case where 109.20 adoption is the intended permanent placement disposition. The 109.21 guardian ad litem and counsel for the child shall continue on 109.22 the case until an adoption decree is entered. A hearing must be 109.23 held every 90 days following termination of parental rights for 109.24 the court to review progress toward an adoptive placement. 109.25 (c) The court shall retain jurisdiction in a case where 109.26 long-term foster care is the permanent disposition. The 109.27 guardian ad litem and counsel for the child must be dismissed 109.28 from the case on the effective date of the permanent placement 109.29 order. However, the foster parent and the child, if of 109.30 sufficient age, must be informed how they may contact a guardian 109.31 ad litem if the matter is subsequently returned to court. 109.32 Sec. 33. [UNIFORM PRIVATE CHIPS PETITION.] 109.33 The state court administrator shall prepare and make 109.34 available to court administrators in each county the private 109.35 CHIPS petition form required by Minnesota Statutes, section 109.36 260.131, subdivision 1. 110.1 Sec. 34. [JUVENILE CODE RECODIFICATION.] 110.2 The revisor of statutes shall reorganize Minnesota 110.3 Statutes, chapter 260, and other laws relating to child 110.4 protection and child welfare services to create separate, 110.5 comprehensible areas of law dealing with child protection and 110.6 delinquency in the form of a bill for introduction at the 1998 110.7 regular legislative session. 110.8 Sec. 35.

[COURT CONTINUITY AND CASE MANAGEMENT.] 110.17 The chief judges of the district courts, in consultation 110.18 with the state court administrator, shall develop case 110.19 management systems so that one judge hears all phases of a 110.20 proceeding on a child in need of protection or services, 110.21 including permanent placement or adoption, if any. The chief 110.22 judges shall consider the "one judge, one family" model and the 110.23 experience of the Ramsey county pilot project. 110.24 Sec. 37.

The records of juvenile 112.35 probation officers and county home schools are records of the 112.36 court for the purposes of this subdivision. Court services data 113.1 relating to delinquent acts that are contained in records of the 113.2 juvenile court may be released as allowed under section 13.84, 113.3 subdivision 5a. This subdivision applies to all proceedings 113.4 under this chapter, including appeals from orders of the 113.5 juvenile court, except that this subdivision does not apply to 113.6 proceedings under section 260.255, 260.261, or 260.315 when the 113.7 proceeding involves an adult defendant.

Peace officers' 114.8 records containing data about children who are victims of crimes 114.9 or witnesses to crimes must be administered consistent with 114.10 section 13.82, subdivisions 2, 3, 4, and 10. Any person 114.11 violating any of the provisions of this subdivision shall be 114.12 guilty of a misdemeanor. 114.13 In the case of computerized records maintained about 114.14 juveniles by peace officers, the requirement of this subdivision 114.15 that records about juveniles must be kept separate from adult 114.16 records does not mean that a law enforcement agency must keep 114.17 its records concerning juveniles on a separate computer system. 114.18 Law enforcement agencies may keep juvenile records on the same 114.19 computer as adult records and may use a common index to access 114.20 both juvenile and adult records so long as the agency has in 114.21 place procedures that keep juvenile records in a separate place 114.22 in computer storage and that comply with the special data 114.23 retention and other requirements associated with protecting data 114.24 on juveniles. 114.25 (b) Nothing in this subdivision prohibits the exchange of 114.26 information by law enforcement agencies if the exchanged 114.27 information is pertinent and necessary to the requesting agency 114.28 in initiating, furthering, or completing a criminal 114.29 investigation. 114.30 (c) A photograph may be taken of a child taken into custody 114.31 pursuant to section 260.165, subdivision 1, clause (b), provided 114.32 that the photograph must be destroyed when the child reaches the 114.33 age of 19 years. The commissioner of corrections may photograph 114.34 juveniles whose legal custody is transferred to the 114.35 commissioner. Photographs of juveniles authorized by this 114.36 paragraph may be used only for institution management purposes, 115.1 case supervision by parole agents, and to assist law enforcement 115.2 agencies to apprehend juvenile offenders. The commissioner 115.3 shall maintain photographs of juveniles in the same manner as 115.4 juvenile court records and names under this section. 115.5 (d) Traffic investigation reports are open to inspection by 115.6 a person who has sustained physical harm or economic loss as a 115.7 result of the traffic accident.

Notwithstanding 115.34 section 138.17, data from a notice received from a law 115.35 enforcement agency under this paragraph must be destroyed when 115.36 the juvenile graduates from the school or at the end of the 116.1 academic year when the juvenile reaches age 23, whichever date 116.2 is earlier. For purposes of this paragraph, "school" means a 116.3 public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school. 116.4 (f) In any county in which the county attorney operates or 116.5 authorizes the operation of a juvenile prepetition or pretrial 116.6 diversion program, a law enforcement agency or county attorney's 116.7 office may provide the juvenile diversion program with data 116.8 concerning a juvenile who is a participant in or is being 116.9 considered for participation in the program. 116.10 (g) Upon request of a local social service agency, peace 116.11 officer records of children who are or may be delinquent or who 116.12 may be engaged in criminal acts may be disseminated to the 116.13 agency to promote the best interests of the subject of the data. 116.14 (h) Upon written request, the prosecuting authority shall 116.15 release investigative data collected by a law enforcement agency 116.16 to the victim of a criminal act or alleged criminal act or to 116.17 the victim's legal representative, except as otherwise provided 116.18 by this paragraph. Data shall not be released if: 116.19 (1) the release to the individual subject of the data would 116.20 be prohibited under section 13.391; or 116.21 (2) the prosecuting authority reasonably believes: 116.22 (i) that the release of that data will interfere with the 116.23 investigation; or 116.24 (ii) that the request is prompted by a desire on the part 116.25 of the requester to engage in unlawful activities. 116.26 Sec. 7.

Consistent with subdivision 1a, the court 119.17 may require a third party, including the local social services 119.18 agency, to supervise the visitation or may restrict a parent's 119.19 visitation rights if necessary to protect the custodial parent 119.20 or child from harm. 119.21 Sec. 11.

A minor age 16 or 120.28 older may make a petition on the minor's own behalf against a 120.29 spouse or former spouse, or a person with whom the minor has a 120.30 child in common, if the court determines that the minor has 120.31 sufficient maturity and judgment and that it is in the best 120.32 interests of the minor. 120.33 (b) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of 120.34 domestic abuse, and shall be accompanied by an affidavit made 120.35 under oath stating the specific facts and circumstances from 120.36 which relief is sought. 121.1 (c) A petition for relief must state whether the petitioner 121.2 has ever had an order for protection in effect against the 121.3 respondent. 121.4 (d) A petition for relief must state whether there is an 121.5 existing order for protection in effect under this chapter 121.6 governing both the parties and whether there is a pending 121.7 lawsuit, complaint, petition or other action between the parties 121.8 under chapter 257, 518, 518A, 518B, or 518C. The court 121.9 administrator shall verify the terms of any existing order 121.10 governing the parties. The court may not delay granting relief 121.11 because of the existence of a pending action between the parties 121.12 or the necessity of verifying the terms of an existing order. A 121.13 subsequent order in a separate action under this chapter may 121.14 modify only the provision of an existing order that grants 121.15 relief authorized under subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause 121.16 (1). A petition for relief may be granted, regardless of 121.17 whether there is a pending action between the parties. 121.18 (e) The court shall provide simplified forms and clerical 121.19 assistance to help with the writing and filing of a petition 121.20 under this section. 121.21 (f) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) 121.22 of the right to file a motion and affidavit and to sue in forma 121.23 pauperis pursuant to section 563.01 and shall assist with the 121.24 writing and filing of the motion and affidavit. 121.25 (g) The court shall advise a petitioner under paragraph (e) 121.26 of the right to serve the respondent by published notice under 121.27 subdivision 5, paragraph (b), if the respondent is avoiding 121.28 personal service by concealment or otherwise, and shall assist 121.29 with the writing and filing of the affidavit. 121.30 (h) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to 121.31 seek restitution under the petition for relief. 121.32 (i) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to 121.33 request a hearing under subdivision 7, paragraph (c).

Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 518B.01, 122.6 subdivision 8, is amended to read: 122.7 Subd. 8. [SERVICE; ALTERNATE SERVICE; PUBLICATION; 122.8 NOTICE.] (a) The petition and any order issued under this 122.9 section shall be served on the respondent personally. 122.10 (b) When service is made out of this state and in the 122.11 United States, it may be proved by the affidavit of the person 122.12 making the service. When service is made outside the United 122.13 States, it may be proved by the affidavit of the person making 122.14 the service, taken before and certified by any United States 122.15 minister, charge d'affaires, commissioner, consul, or commercial 122.16 agent, or other consular or diplomatic officer of the United 122.17 States appointed to reside in the other country, including all 122.18 deputies or other representatives of the officer authorized to 122.19 perform their duties; or before an office authorized to 122.20 administer an oath with the certificate of an officer of a court 122.21 of record of the country in which the affidavit is taken as to 122.22 the identity and authority of the officer taking the affidavit. 122.23 (c) If personal service cannot be made, the court may order 122.24 service of the petition and any order issued under this section 122.25 by alternate means, or by publication, which publication must be 122.26 made as in other actions. The application for alternate service 122.27 must include the last known location of the respondent; the 122.28 petitioner's most recent contacts with the respondent; the last 122.29 known location of the respondent's employment; the names and 122.30 locations of the respondent's parents, siblings, children, and 122.31 other close relatives; the names and locations of other persons 122.32 who are likely to know the respondent's whereabouts; and a 122.33 description of efforts to locate those persons. 122.34 The court shall consider the length of time the 122.35 respondent's location has been unknown, the likelihood that the 122.36 respondent's location will become known, the nature of the 123.1 relief sought, and the nature of efforts made to locate the 123.2 respondent. The court shall order service by first class mail, 123.3 forwarding address requested, to any addresses where there is a 123.4 reasonable possibility that mail or information will be 123.5 forwarded or communicated to the respondent. 123.6 The court may also order publication, within or without the 123.7 state, but only if it might reasonably succeed in notifying the 123.8 respondent of the proceeding. Service shall be deemed complete 123.9 14 days after mailing or 14 days after court-ordered publication. 123.10 (d) A petition and any order issued under this section must 123.11 include a notice to the respondent that if an order for 123.12 protection is issued to protect the petitioner or a child of the 123.13 parties, upon request of the petitioner in any visitation 123.14 proceeding, the court shall consider the order for protection in 123.15 making a decision regarding visitation. 123.16 Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 518B.01, 123.17 subdivision 14, is amended to read: 123.18 Subd. 14. [VIOLATION OF AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION.] (a) 123.19 Whenever an order for protection is granted pursuant to this 123.20 section or a similar law of another state, and the respondent or 123.21 person to be restrained knows of the order, violation of the 123.22 order for protection is a misdemeanor. Upon conviction, the 123.23 defendant must be sentenced to a minimum of three days 123.24 imprisonment and must be ordered to participate in counseling or 123.25 other appropriate programs selected by the court. If the court 123.26 stays imposition or execution of the jail sentence and the 123.27 defendant refuses or fails to comply with the court's treatment 123.28 order, the court must impose and execute the stayed jail 123.29 sentence. A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor who 123.30 violates this paragraph during the time period between a 123.31 previous conviction under this paragraph; sections 609.221 to 123.32 609.224; 609.2242; 609.713, subdivision 1 or 3; 609.748, 123.33 subdivision 6; 609.749; or a similar law of another state and 123.34 the end of the five years following discharge from sentence for 123.35 that conviction. Upon conviction, the defendant must be 123.36 sentenced to a minimum of ten days imprisonment and must be 124.1 ordered to participate in counseling or other appropriate 124.2 programs selected by the court. Notwithstanding section 124.3 609.135, the court must impose and execute the minimum sentence 124.4 provided in this paragraph for gross misdemeanor convictions. 124.5 (b) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take 124.6 into custody a person whom the peace officer has probable cause 124.7 to believe has violated an order granted pursuant to this 124.8 section or a similar law of another state restraining the person 124.9 or excluding the person from the residence or the petitioner's 124.10 place of employment, even if the violation of the order did not 124.11 take place in the presence of the peace officer, if the 124.12 existence of the order can be verified by the officer. The 124.13 person shall be held in custody for at least 36 hours, excluding 124.14 the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, unless the person is 124.15 released earlier by a judge or judicial officer. A peace 124.16 officer acting in good faith and exercising due care in making 124.17 an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is immune from civil 124.18 liability that might result from the officer's actions. 124.19 (c) A violation of an order for protection shall also 124.20 constitute contempt of court and be subject to the penalties 124.21 therefor. 124.22 (d) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 124.23 order for protection and that there is reason to believe that 124.24 the respondent will commit a further violation of the provisions 124.25 of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of 124.26 domestic abuse or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's 124.27 residence, the court may require the respondent to acknowledge 124.28 an obligation to comply with the order on the record. The court 124.29 may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from 124.30 committing further violations of the order for protection, 124.31 considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not 124.32 to exceed $10,000. If the respondent refuses to comply with an 124.33 order to acknowledge the obligation or post a bond under this 124.34 paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to the county 124.35 jail during the term of the order for protection or until the 124.36 respondent complies with the order under this paragraph. The 125.1 warrant must state the cause of commitment, with the sum and 125.2 time for which any bond is required. If an order is issued 125.3 under this paragraph, the court may order the costs of the 125.4 contempt action, or any part of them, to be paid by the 125.5 respondent. An order under this paragraph is appealable. 125.6 (e) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any 125.7 peace officer, or an interested party designated by the court, 125.8 alleging that the respondent has violated any order for 125.9 protection granted pursuant to this section or a similar law of 125.10 another state, the court may issue an order to the respondent, 125.11 requiring the respondent to appear and show cause within 14 days 125.12 why the respondent should not be found in contempt of court and 125.13 punished therefor. The hearing may be held by the court in any 125.14 county in which the petitioner or respondent temporarily or 125.15 permanently resides at the time of the alleged violation, or in 125.16 the county in which the alleged violation occurred, if the 125.17 petitioner and respondent do not reside in this state. The 125.18 court also shall refer the violation of the order for protection 125.19 to the appropriate prosecuting authority for possible 125.20 prosecution under paragraph (a). 125.21 (f) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 125.22 order for protection issued under subdivision 6 or a similar law 125.23 of another state and the court finds that the order has expired 125.24 between the time of the alleged violation and the court's 125.25 hearing on the violation, the court may grant a new order for 125.26 protection under subdivision 6 based solely on the respondent's 125.27 alleged violation of the prior order, to be effective until the 125.28 hearing on the alleged violation of the prior order. If the 125.29 court finds that the respondent has violated the prior order, 125.30 the relief granted in the new order for protection shall be 125.31 extended for a fixed period, not to exceed one year, except when 125.32 the court determines a longer fixed period is appropriate. 125.33 (g) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing 125.34 party excluded from the dwelling under an order for protection 125.35 is not a violation by the petitioner of the order for protection. 125.36 A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause 126.1 (1), for a failure to perform a duty required by paragraph (b). 126.2 (h) When a person is convicted under paragraph (a) of 126.3 violating an order for protectionunder this sectionand the 126.4 court determines that the person used a firearm in any way 126.5 during commission of the violation, the court may order that the 126.6 person is prohibited from possessing any type of firearm for any 126.7 period longer than three years or for the remainder of the 126.8 person's life. A person who violates this paragraph is guilty 126.9 of a gross misdemeanor. At the time of the conviction, the 126.10 court shall inform the defendant whether and for how long the 126.11 defendant is prohibited from possessing a firearm and that it is 126.12 a gross misdemeanor to violate this paragraph. The failure of 126.13 the court to provide this information to a defendant does not 126.14 affect the applicability of the firearm possession prohibition 126.15 or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 126.16 (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (h), when a 126.17 person is convicted under paragraph (a) of violating an order 126.18 for protectionunder this section, the court shall inform the 126.19 defendant that the defendant is prohibited from possessing a 126.20 pistol for three years from the date of conviction and that it 126.21 is a gross misdemeanor offense to violate this prohibition. The 126.22 failure of the court to provide this information to a defendant 126.23 does not affect the applicability of the pistol possession 126.24 prohibition or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 126.25 (j) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (h), a person 126.26 is not entitled to possess a pistol if the person has been 126.27 convicted under paragraph (a) after August 1, 1996, of violating 126.28 an order for protectionunder this section, unless three years 126.29 have elapsed from the date of conviction and, during that time, 126.30 the person has not been convicted of any other violation of this 126.31 section. Property rights may not be abated but access may be 126.32 restricted by the courts. A person who possesses a pistol in 126.33 violation of this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 126.34 (k) If the court determines that a person convicted under 126.35 paragraph (a) of violating an order for protectionunder this126.36sectionowns or possesses a firearm and used it in any way 127.1 during the commission of the violation, it shall order that the 127.2 firearm be summarily forfeited under section 609.5316, 127.3 subdivision 3. 127.4 Sec. 15.

It must also 152.20 address the role of the prosecutorial unit in other matters, 152.21 including, but not limited to, training local prosecutors in 152.22 prosecuting cases involving criminal gangs, interviewing 152.23 witnesses, and cooperating with other strike force members in 152.24 developing and building strong cases. The policy shall be 152.25 submitted to the council for review. 152.26 (g) The assistant attorney general assigned to the strike 152.27 force, in addition to helping develop the policy described in 152.28 paragraph (f) and in carrying out the individual tasks specified 152.29 in the policy after it is approved by the council, shall 152.30 generally advise the council on any matters that the council 152.31 deems appropriate.
