 20.40  and supervisory personnel levels in 
 20.41  addition to line staff levels within 
 20.42  adult correctional institutions, 
 20.43  provided this objective can be

 28.35  computerized arson investigative data system for the purpose of 
 28.36  assisting criminal justice agencies in the investigation and 
 29.1   prosecution of suspected arson violations.  This data system is 
 29.2   separate from the reporting system maintained by the department 
 29.3   of public safety under section 299F.05, subdivision 2.  The 
 29.4   system consists of data on individuals who are 14 years old or 
 29.5   older who law enforcement agencies determine are or may be 
 29.6   engaged in arson activity.  Notwithstanding section 260.161, 
 29.7   subdivision 3, data in the system on adults and juveniles may be 
 29.8   maintained together.  Data in the system must be submitted and 
 29.9   maintained as provided in this subdivision.

 29.21  identity, and the building occupant's identity; and 
 29.22     (6) the name of the reporting agency and a contact person.  
 29.23  A criminal justice agency that reports data to the arson 
 29.24  investigative data system shall maintain records documenting the 
 29.25  data in its own records system for at least the time period 
 29.26  specified in paragraph (e). 
 29.27     (d) The state fire marshal shall maintain in the arson 
 29.28  investigative data system any of the data reported under 
 29.29  paragraph (c) that the fire marshal believes will assist in the 
 29.30  investigation and prosecution of arson cases.  In lieu of or in 
 29.31  connection with any of these data, the state fire marshal may 
 29.32  include in the data system a reference to the criminal justice 
 29.33  agency that originally reported the data, with a notation to

 30.1   shall destroy data on juveniles entered into the system when

 30.3   system, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph.  If the 
 30.4   fire marshal has information that, since entry of data into the 
 30.5   system, the juvenile has been convicted as an adult or has been 
 30.6   adjudicated or has a stayed adjudication as a juvenile for an 
 30.7   offense that would be a crime if committed by an adult, the data 
 30.8   must be maintained until three years have elapsed since the last 
 30.9   record of a conviction, adjudication, or stayed adjudication of 
 30.10  the individual.  Upon request of the criminal justice agency 
 30.11  that submitted data to the system, the state fire marshal shall 
 30.12  destroy the data regardless of whether three years have elapsed 
 30.13  since the data were entered into the system. 
 30.14     (f) Data in the arson investigative data system are 
 30.15  confidential data on individuals as defined in section 13.02, 
 30.16  subdivision 3, but are accessible to criminal justice agencies.

 30.34  approved by the commissioner.  A certificate shall be valid for

 38.32  when the sentence is executed, stayed, or suspended.  The court 
 38.33  may not waive payment or authorize payment of the assessment 
 38.34  charge and surcharge in installments unless it makes written

 40.7   imposed for the speed violation, but not less than $25.
