  4.10  administer the committee, obtain necessary information from 
  4.11  outside sources, and prepare risk assessment reports on 
  4.12  offenders. 
  4.13     (c) The committee shall have access to the following data

  4.27  provided under section 13.05, subdivision 3 or 4.  The sex 
  4.28  offender has access to data on the offender collected and 
  4.29  maintained by the committee, unless the data are confidential

  4.32  90 days before a sex offender is to be released from confinement 
  4.33  or accepted for supervision, the commissioner of corrections 
  4.34  shall convene the appropriate end-of-confinement review 
  4.35  committee for the purpose of assessing the risk presented by the 
  4.36  offender and determining the risk level to which the offender 
  5.1   shall be assigned under paragraph (e).  The offender and the law 
  5.2   enforcement agency that was responsible for the charge resulting 
  5.3   in confinement shall be notified of the time and place of the 
  5.4   committee's meeting and.  The offender has a right to be present

  5.7   risk level to the chair of the committee.  The committee shall 
  5.8   use the risk factors described in paragraph (g) and the risk 
  5.9   assessment scale developed under subdivision 2 to determine the 
  5.10  offender's risk assessment score and risk level.  Offenders 
  5.11  scheduled for release from confinement shall be assessed by the 
  5.12  committee established at the facility from which the offender is 
  5.13  to be released.  Offenders accepted for supervision shall be 
  5.14  assessed by whichever committee the commissioner directs. 
  5.15     (ii) If an offender is received for confinement in a 
  5.16  facility with less than 90 days remaining in the offender's term 
  5.17  of confinement, the offender's risk shall be assessed at the 
  5.18  first regularly scheduled end of confinement review committee 
  5.19  that convenes after the appropriate documentation for the risk 
  5.20  assessment is assembled by the committee.  The commissioner 
  5.21  shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that offender's risk is 
  5.22  assessed and a risk level is assigned or reassigned at least 30 
  5.23  days before the offender's release date. 
  5.24     (e) The committee shall assign to risk level I a sex 
  5.25  offender whose risk assessment score indicates a low risk of 
  5.26  reoffense.  The committee shall assign to risk level II an 
  5.27  offender whose risk assessment score indicates a moderate risk 
  5.28  of reoffense.  The committee shall assign to risk level III an 
  5.29  offender whose risk assessment score indicates a high risk of 
  5.30  reoffense. 
  5.31     (f) Before the sex offender is released from confinement or 
  5.32  accepted for supervision, the committee shall prepare a risk 
  5.33  assessment report which specifies the risk level to which the 
  5.34  offender has been assigned and the reasons underlying the 
  5.35  committee's risk assessment decision.  The committee shall give 
  5.36  the report to the offender and to the law enforcement agency at 
  6.1   least 60 days before an offender is released from confinement or 
  6.2   accepted for supervision.  If the risk assessment is performed 
  6.3   under the circumstances described in paragraph (d), item (ii), 
  6.4   the report shall be given to the offender and the law 
  6.5   enforcement agency as soon as it is available.  The committee 
  6.6   also shall inform the offender of the availability of review 
  6.7   under subdivision 6. 
  6.8      (g) As used in this subdivision, "risk factors" includes, 
  6.9   but is not limited to, the following factors: 
  6.10     (1) the seriousness of the offense should the offender 
  6.11  reoffend.  This factor includes consideration of the following:  
  6.12     (i) the degree of likely force or harm; 
  6.13     (ii) the degree of likely physical contact; and 
  6.14     (iii) the age of the likely victim; 
  6.15     (2) the offender's prior offense history.  This factor 
  6.16  includes consideration of the following: 
  6.17     (i) the relationship of prior victims to the offender; 
  6.18     (ii) the number of prior offenses or victims; 
  6.19     (iii) the duration of the offender's prior offense history; 
  6.20     (iv) the length of time since the offender's last prior 
  6.21  offense while the offender was at risk to commit offenses; and 
  6.22     (v) the offender's prior history of other antisocial acts; 
  6.23     (3) the offender's characteristics.  This factor includes 
  6.24  consideration of the following:  
  6.25     (i) the offender's response to prior treatment efforts; and 
  6.26     (ii) the offender's history of substance abuse; 
  6.27     (4) the availability of community supports to the offender. 
  6.28  This factor includes consideration of the following: 
  6.29     (i) the availability and likelihood that the offender will 
  6.30  be involved in therapeutic treatment; 
  6.31     (ii) the availability of residential supports to the 
  6.32  offender, such as a stable and supervised living arrangement in 
  6.33  an appropriate location; 
  6.34     (iii) the offender's familial and social relationships, 
  6.35  including the nature and length of these relationships and the 
  6.36  level of support that the offender may receive from these 
  7.1   persons; and 
  7.2      (iv) the offender's lack of education or employment 
  7.3   stability; 
  7.4      (5) whether the offender has indicated or credible evidence 
  7.5   in the record indicates that the offender will reoffend if 
  7.6   released into the community; and 
  7.7      (6) whether the offender demonstrates a physical condition 
  7.8   that minimizes the risk of reoffense, including but not limited 
  7.9   to, advanced age or a debilitating illness or physical condition.
  7.10     (h) Upon the request of the law enforcement agency or the 
  7.11  offender's corrections agent, the commissioner may reconvene the 
  7.12  end-of-confinement review committee for the purpose of 
  7.13  reassessing the risk level to which an offender has been 
  7.14  assigned under paragraph (e).  In a request for a reassessment, 
  7.15  the law enforcement agency which was responsible for the charge 
  7.16  resulting in confinement or agent shall list the facts and 
  7.17  circumstances arising after the initial assignment or facts and 
  7.18  circumstances known to law enforcement or the agent but not 
  7.19  considered by the committee under paragraph (e) which support 
  7.20  the request for a reassessment.  The request for reassessment 
  7.21  must occur within 30 days of receipt of the report indicating 
  7.22  the offender's risk level assignment.  Upon review of the 
  7.23  request, the end-of-confinement review committee may reassign an 
  7.24  offender to a different risk level.  If the offender is 
  7.25  reassigned to a higher risk level, the offender has the right to 
  7.26  seek review of the committee's determination under subdivision 6.
  7.27     (i) An offender may request the end-of-confinement review 
  7.28  committee to reassess the offender's assigned risk level after 
  7.29  two years have elapsed since the committee's initial risk 
  7.30  assessment and may renew the request once every two years 
  7.31  following subsequent denials.  In a request for reassessment, 
  7.32  the offender shall list the facts and circumstances which 
  7.33  demonstrate that the offender no longer poses the same degree of 
  7.34  risk to the community.  The committee shall follow the process 
  7.35  outlined in paragraphs (a) to (e), and (g) in the reassessment. 
  7.36     (j) The commissioner shall establish an end-of-confinement 
  8.1   review committee to assign a risk level to offenders who are 
  8.2   released from a federal correctional facility in Minnesota or 
  8.3   another state and who intend to reside in Minnesota, and to 
  8.4   offenders accepted from another state under a reciprocal 
  8.5   agreement for parole supervision under the interstate compact 
  8.6   authorized by section 243.16.  The committee shall make 
  8.7   reasonable efforts to conform to the same timelines as applied 
  8.8   to Minnesota cases.  Offenders accepted from another state under 
  8.9   a reciprocal agreement for probation supervision are not 
  8.10  assigned a risk level, but are considered downward dispositional 
  8.11  departures.  The probation or court services officer and law 
  8.12  enforcement officer shall manage such cases in accordance with 
  8.13  section 244.10, subdivision 2a.  The policies and procedures of 
  8.14  the committee for federal offenders and interstate compact cases 
  8.15  must be in accordance with all requirements as set forth in this 
  8.16  section, unless restrictions caused by the nature of federal or 
  8.17  interstate transfers prevents such conformance. 
  8.18     Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
  8.19  244.052, subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
  8.20     Subd. 4.  [LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY; DISCLOSURE OF 
  8.21  INFORMATION TO PUBLIC.] (a) The law enforcement agency in the 
  8.22  area where the sex offender resides, expects to reside, is 
  8.23  employed, or is regularly found, shall disclose to the public 
  8.24  any information regarding the offender contained in the report 
  8.25  forwarded to the agency under subdivision 3, paragraph (f), if 
  8.26  the agency determines that disclosure of the information is 
  8.27  relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract 
  8.28  the offender's dangerousness.  The extent of the information 
  8.29  disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must 
  8.30  relate to the level of danger posed by the offender, to the 
  8.31  offender's pattern of offending behavior, and to the need of 
  8.32  community members for information to enhance their individual 
  8.33  and collective safety. 
  8.34     (b) The law enforcement agency shall consider the following 
  8.35  guidelines in determining the scope of disclosure made under 
  8.36  this subdivision: 
  9.1      (1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency 
  9.2   may maintain information regarding the offender within the 
  9.3   agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement agencies.  
  9.4   Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any 
  9.5   victims of or witnesses to the offense committed by the offender.
  9.6   The agency shall disclose the information to victims of the 
  9.7   offense committed by the offender who have requested disclosure; 
  9.8      (2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the 
  9.9   agency also may disclose the information to agencies and groups 
  9.10  that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose of 
  9.11  securing those institutions and protecting individuals in their 
  9.12  care while they are on or near the premises of the institution.  
  9.13  These agencies and groups include the staff members of public 
  9.14  and private educational institutions, day care establishments, 
  9.15  and establishments and organizations that primarily serve 
  9.16  individuals likely to be victimized by the offender.  The agency 
  9.17  also may disclose the information to individuals the agency 
  9.18  believes are likely to be victimized by the offender.  The 
  9.19  agency's belief shall be based on the offender's pattern of 
  9.20  offending or victim preference as documented in the information 
  9.21  provided by the department of corrections or human services; 
  9.22     (3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the 
  9.23  agency also may disclose the information to other members of the 
  9.24  community whom the offender is likely to encounter. 
  9.25     Notwithstanding the assignment of a sex offender to risk 
  9.26  level II or III, a law enforcement agency may not make the 
  9.27  disclosures permitted by clause (2) or (3), if:  the offender is 
  9.28  placed or resides in a residential facility that is licensed as 
  9.29  a residential program, as defined in section 245A.02, 
  9.30  subdivision 14, by the commissioner of human services under 
  9.31  chapter 254A, or the commissioner of corrections under section 
  9.32  241.021; and the facility and its staff are trained in the 
  9.33  supervision of sex offenders.  However, if an offender is placed 
  9.34  or resides in a licensed facility, the offender and the head of 
  9.35  the facility shall designate the offender's likely residence 
  9.36  upon release from the facility and the head of the facility 
 10.1   shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner 
 10.2   of human services of the offender's likely residence at least 14 
 10.3   days before the offender's scheduled release date.  The 
 10.4   commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement 
 10.5   agency having jurisdiction over the offender's likely 
 10.6   residence.  The head of the facility also shall notify the 
 10.7   commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours 
 10.8   after finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a 
 10.9   permanent residence.  Within five days after receiving this 
 10.10  notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to the 
 10.11  appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the 
 10.12  commissioner has concerning the offender, including information 
 10.13  on the risk factors in the offender's history and the risk level 
 10.14  to which the offender was assigned.  After receiving this 
 10.15  information, the law enforcement agency may make the disclosures 
 10.16  permitted by clause (2) or (3), as appropriate. 
 10.17     (c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely 
 10.18  to encounter" means that:  
 10.19     (1) the organizations or community members are in a 
 10.20  location or in close proximity to a location where the offender 
 10.21  lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or is likely 
 10.22  to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the 
 10.23  offender's outpatient treatment program; and 
 10.24     (2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that 
 10.25  location and other circumstances indicate that contact with the 
 10.26  offender is reasonably certain. 
 10.27     (d) A law enforcement agency or official who decides to 
 10.28  disclose information under this subdivision shall make a good 
 10.29  faith effort to make the notification at least 14 days before an 
 10.30  offender is released from confinement or accepted for 
 10.31  supervision within 14 days of receipt of a confirmed address 
 10.32  from the department of corrections indicating that the offender 
 10.33  will be, or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for 
 10.34  supervision, or has moved to a new address and will reside at 
 10.35  the address indicated.  If a change occurs in the release plan, 
 10.36  this notification provision does not require an extension of the 
 11.1   release date.  
 11.2      (e) A law enforcement agency or official that decides to 
 11.3   disclose information under this subdivision shall not disclose 
 11.4   the identity of the victims of or witnesses to the offender's 
 11.5   offenses. 
 11.6      (f) A law enforcement agency may continue to disclose
