The commissioner may revoke an awarded 89.3 contract if an individual or a design-build firm identified in a 89.4 response to an RFQ or RFP is replaced without the commissioner's 89.5 written approval. To qualify for the commissioner's approval, 89.6 the written request must document that the proposed replacement 89.7 individual or design-build firm will be equal to or better than 89.8 that described in the response to the request for qualifications 89.9 or request for proposals. The commissioner shall use the 89.10 criteria specified in the request for qualifications or request 89.11 for proposals to evaluate the request. 89.12 Sec. 9. [161.3426] [DESIGN-BUILD AWARD.] 89.13 Subdivision 1. [AWARD; COMPUTATION; ANNOUNCEMENT.] Except 89.14 as provided in subdivision 2, a design-build contract shall be 89.15 awarded as follows: 89.16 (a) The technical review committee shall score the 89.17 technical proposals using the selection criteria in the request 89.18 for proposals (RFP). The technical review committee shall then 89.19 submit a technical proposal score for each design-builder to the 89.20 commissioner. The technical review committee shall reject any 89.21 proposal it deems nonresponsive. 89.22 (b) The commissioner shall announce the technical proposal 89.23 score for each design-builder and shall publicly open the sealed 89.24 price proposals and shall divide each design-builder's price by 89.25 the technical score that the technical review committee has 89.26 given to it to obtain an adjusted score. The design-builder 89.27 selected must be that responsive and responsible design-builder 89.28 whose adjusted score is the lowest. 89.29 (c) If a time factor is included with the selection 89.30 criteria in the request for proposals package, the commissioner 89.31 may also adjust the bids using a value of the time factor 89.32 established by the commissioner. The value of the time factor 89.33 must be expressed as a value per day. The adjustment must be 89.34 based on the total time value. The total time value is the 89.35 design-builder's total number of days to complete the project 89.36 multiplied by the factor. The time-adjusted price is the total 90.1 time value plus the bid amount. This adjustment must be used 90.2 for selection purposes only, and must not affect the department 90.3 of transportation's liquidated damages schedule or incentive or 90.4 disincentive program. An adjusted score must then be obtained 90.5 by dividing each design-builder's time-adjusted price by the 90.6 score given by the technical review team. The commissioner 90.7 shall select the responsive and responsible design-builder whose 90.8 adjusted score is the lowest. 90.9 (d) Unless all proposals are rejected, the commissioner 90.10 shall award the contract to the responsive and responsible 90.11 design-builder with the lowest adjusted score. The commissioner 90.12 shall reserve the right to reject all proposals. 90.13 Subd. 2. [ALTERNATIVE PROCESS FOR CERTAIN CONTRACTS.] (a) 90.14 The commissioner may elect to use the process in paragraph (b) 90.15 for a design-build contract for a project with an estimated 90.16 project cost of less than $5,000,000. 90.17 (b) The commissioner shall give the lowest cost proposal 90.18 the full number of price points defined in the request for 90.19 proposals. The commissioner shall award each of the other 90.20 proposals a percentage of the price points based on a ratio of 90.21 the lowest price divided by the responder's price. The 90.22 commissioner shall add the technical score and price score and 90.23 award the contract to the responder with the highest total score. 90.24 Subd. 3. [STIPULATED FEE.] The commissioner shall award a 90.25 stipulated fee not less than two-tenths of one percent of the 90.26 department's estimated cost of design and construction to each 90.27 short-listed, responsible proposer who provides a responsive but 90.28 unsuccessful proposal. If the commissioner does not award a 90.29 contract, all short-listed proposers must receive the stipulated 90.30 fee. If the commissioner cancels the contract before reviewing 90.31 the technical proposals, the commissioner shall award each 90.32 design-builder on the short list a stipulated fee of not less 90.33 than two-tenths of one percent of the commissioner's estimated 90.34 cost of design and construction. The commissioner shall pay the 90.35 stipulated fee to each proposer within 90 days after the award 90.36 of the contract or the decision not to award a contract. In 91.1 consideration for paying the stipulated fee, the commissioner 91.2 may use any ideas or information contained in the proposals in 91.3 connection with any contract awarded for the project or in 91.4 connection with a subsequent procurement, without any obligation 91.5 to pay any additional compensation to the unsuccessful proposers. 91.6 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subdivision, an 91.7 unsuccessful short-list proposer may elect to waive the 91.8 stipulated fee. If an unsuccessful short-list proposer elects 91.9 to waive the stipulated fee, the commissioner may not use ideas 91.10 and information contained in that proposer's proposal. Upon the 91.11 request of the commissioner, a proposer who waived a stipulated 91.12 fee may withdraw the waiver, in which case the commissioner 91.13 shall pay the stipulated fee to the proposer and thereafter may 91.14 use ideas and information in the proposer's proposal. 91.15 Subd. 4. [LOW-BID DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS.] (a) The 91.16 commissioner may also use low-bid, design-build procedures to 91.17 award a design-build contract where the scope of the work can be 91.18 clearly defined. 91.19 (b) Low-bid design-build projects may require an RFQ and 91.20 short-listing, and must require an RFP. 91.21 (c) Submitted proposals under this subdivision must include 91.22 separately a technical proposal and a price proposal. The 91.23 low-bid, design-build procedures must follow a two-step process 91.24 for review of the responses to the RFP as follows: 91.25 (1) The first step is the review of the technical proposal 91.26 by the technical review committee as provided in section 91.27 161.3420, subdivision 2. The technical review committee must 91.28 open the technical proposal first and must determine if it 91.29 complies with the requirements of the RFP and is responsive. 91.30 The technical review committee may not perform any ranking or 91.31 scoring of the technical proposals. 91.32 (2) The second step is the determination of the low bidder 91.33 based on the price proposal. The commissioner may not open the 91.34 price proposal until the review of the technical proposal is 91.35 complete. 91.36 (d) The contract award under low-bid, design-build 92.1 procedures must be made to the proposer whose sealed bid is 92.2 responsive to the technical requirements as determined by the 92.3 technical review committee and that is also the lowest bid. 92.4 (e) A stipulated fee may be paid for unsuccessful bids on 92.5 low-bid, design-build projects only when the commissioner has 92.6 required an RFQ and short-listed the most highly qualified 92.7 responsive bidders. 92.8 Subd. 5. [REJECTION OF BIDS.] The commissioner may reject 92.9 all bids under this section. 92.10 Sec. 10. [161.3428] [LIST OF DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTS.] 92.11 Beginning September 1, 2002, and every subsequent year on 92.12 September 1, the commissioner shall submit to the governor, to 92.13 the chairs of the house ways and means and senate finance 92.14 committees, to the chairs of the house and senate committees 92.15 having jurisdiction over transportation policy and finance, and 92.16 the legislative reference library, a yearly listing of all 92.17 executed design-build contracts.

[DISBURSEMENT OF SURCHARGES BY STATE TREASURER.] 135.27 (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), the state treasurer 135.28 shall disburse surcharges received under subdivision 6 and 135.29 section 97A.065, subdivision 2, as follows: 135.30 (1) one percentof the surchargeshall be credited to the 135.31 game and fish fund to provide peace officer training for 135.32 employees of the department of natural resources who are 135.33 licensed under sections 626.84 to 626.863, and who possess peace 135.34 officer authority for the purpose of enforcing game and fish 135.35 laws; 135.36 (2) 39 percentof the surchargeshall be credited to the 136.1 peace officers training account in the special revenue fund; and 136.2 (3) 60 percentof the surchargeshall be credited to the 136.3 general fund. 136.4 (b) The state treasurer shall credit $3 of each surcharge 136.5 received under subdivision 6 and section 97A.065, subdivision 2, 136.6 to a criminal justice special projects account in the special 136.7 revenue fund. This account is available for appropriation to 136.8 the commissioner of public safety for grants to law enforcement 136.9 agencies and for other purposes authorized by the legislature. 136.10 Sec. 3. [626.8471] [AVOIDING RACIAL PROFILING; POLICIES 136.11 AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES REQUIRED.] 136.12 Subdivision 1. [PURPOSE.] The legislature finds that the 136.13 reality or public perception of racial profiling alienates 136.14 people from police, hinders community policing efforts, and 136.15 causes law enforcement to lose credibility and trust among the 136.16 people law enforcement is sworn to protect and serve. No stop 136.17 initiated by a peace officer should be made without a legitimate 136.18 reason; race, ethnicity, or national origin alone should never 136.19 provide a sufficient reason. Law enforcement policies and 136.20 training programs must emphasize the need to respect the balance 136.21 between the rights of all persons to be free from unreasonable 136.22 governmental intrusions and law enforcement's need to enforce 136.23 the law. 136.24 Subd. 2. [DEFINITION.] "Racial profiling" means any action 136.25 initiated by law enforcement that relies upon the race, 136.26 ethnicity, or national origin of an individual rather than: 136.27 (1) the behavior of that individual; or 136.28 (2) information that leads law enforcement to a particular 136.29 individual who has been identified as being engaged in or having 136.30 been engaged in criminal activity. 136.31 Racial profiling includes use of racial or ethnic 136.32 stereotypes as factors in selecting whom to stop and search. 136.33 Racial profiling does not include law enforcement's use of race 136.34 or ethnicity to determine whether a person matches a specific 136.35 description of a particular subject. 136.36 Subd. 3. [STATEWIDE MODEL POLICY.] (a) The board of peace 137.1 officer standards and training shall consult with the Minnesota 137.2 chiefs of police association, the Minnesota sheriffs 137.3 association, the racial profiling advisory committee, and the 137.4 Minnesota police and peace officers association in developing an 137.5 antiracial profiling model policy governing the conduct of peace 137.6 officers engaged in stops of citizens. This policy shall define 137.7 racial profiling and identify conduct that violates the law. 137.8 The policy must also include a duty to give the officer's name 137.9 or badge number and identify the officer's department during 137.10 routine traffic stops. 137.11 (b) The board shall adopt a model policy and distribute the 137.12 model policy to all chief law enforcement officers by August 1, 137.13 2001. 137.14 Subd. 4. [AGENCY POLICIES REQUIRED.] (a) By November 1, 137.15 2001, the chief law enforcement officer of every state and local 137.16 law enforcement agency must establish and enforce a written 137.17 antiracial profiling policy governing the conduct of peace 137.18 officers engaged in stops of citizens. The chief law 137.19 enforcement officer shall ensure that each peace officer 137.20 receives a copy of the agency's antiracial profiling policy. 137.21 The chief law enforcement officer also must ensure that each 137.22 peace officer is aware of the policy's purpose and the conduct 137.23 prohibited by it. 137.24 (b) The policy must, at a minimum, comply with the 137.25 requirements of the model policy adopted by the board under 137.26 subdivision 3. 137.27 (c) Every state and local law enforcement agency must 137.28 certify to the board that it has adopted a written policy in 137.29 compliance with the board's model policy. 137.30 (d) The board shall assist the chief law enforcement 137.31 officer of each state and local law enforcement agency in 137.32 developing and implementing antiracial profiling policies under 137.33 this subdivision. 137.34 Subd. 5. [PRESERVICE TRAINING LEARNING OBJECTIVES; 137.35 REQUIREMENTS.] (a) By August 1, 2001, the board shall prepare 137.36 learning objectives for preservice training to instruct peace 138.1 officers in avoiding racial profiling when making stops of 138.2 citizens. These learning objectives shall be included in the 138.3 required curriculum of professional peace officer education 138.4 programs. 138.5 (b) An individual is not eligible to take the peace officer 138.6 licensing examination or the part-time peace officer licensing 138.7 examination on or after June 1, 2002, unless: 138.8 (1) the individual has received the training described in 138.9 paragraph (a); and 138.10 (2) the individual has completed a psychological evaluation 138.11 demonstrating that the individual is not likely to engage in 138.12 racial profiling. 138.13 Subd. 6. [IN-SERVICE TRAINING LEARNING OBJECTIVES.] By 138.14 August 1, 2001, the board shall prepare learning objectives for 138.15 in-service training to instruct peace officers in avoiding 138.16 racial profiling when making stops of citizens. The board shall 138.17 evaluate and monitor in-service training courses to ensure they 138.18 satisfy the learning objectives. 138.19 Subd. 7. [CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND SUPERVISORS; 138.20 REQUIREMENTS.] The executive director of the board of peace 138.21 officer standards and training shall prepare training materials 138.22 to provide chief law enforcement officers and other peace 138.23 officers with supervisory authority with information on how to 138.24 detect and respond to racial profiling by peace officers under 138.25 their command. The training materials must address both the 138.26 agency's antiracial profiling policy and procedural components 138.27 aimed at eliminating racial profiling in stops of citizens. The 138.28 materials must include information on federal and state 138.29 constitutional and statutory laws prohibiting discrimination by 138.30 law enforcement. The procedural information must describe 138.31 conduct that is unlawful or inappropriate and present guidelines 138.32 for reinforcing techniques that are lawful and appropriate. The 138.33 procedural information shall discuss appropriate search and 138.34 seizure and interviewing techniques. 138.35 Subd. 8. [POST BOARD; COMPLIANCE REVIEWS AUTHORIZED.] The 138.36 board has authority to inspect state and local agency policies 139.1 to ensure compliance with subdivision 4. The board may conduct 139.2 this inspection based upon a complaint it receives about a 139.3 particular agency or through a random selection process. 139.4 Sec. 4. [626.8515] [CERTAIN BACCALAUREATE DEGREE HOLDERS 139.5 ELIGIBLE TO TAKE LICENSING EXAMINATION.] 139.6 A person with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited 139.7 college or university who has successfully completed a 139.8 board-certified practical skills oriented basic training course 139.9 is eligible to take the peace officer licensing examination. 139.10 Sec. 5. [626.8517] [ELIGIBILITY FOR RECIPROCITY 139.11 EXAMINATION BASED ON RELEVANT MILITARY EXPERIENCE.] 139.12 (a) For purposes of this section, "relevant military 139.13 experience" means five years of active duty military police 139.14 service. 139.15 (b) A person who has relevant military experience and who 139.16 has been honorably discharged from the military is eligible to 139.17 take the reciprocity examination. 139.18 Sec. 6. [626.951] [RACIAL PROFILING STUDY; REPORT 139.19 REQUIRED.] 139.20 Subdivision 1. [RACIAL PROFILING STUDY.] (a) The 139.21 commissioner of public safety shall oversee a statewide study on 139.22 traffic stops of citizens to determine whether racial profiling 139.23 exists. Law enforcement agencies that decide to participate in 139.24 the study shall follow the procedures set forth by this 139.25 section. Agencies that receive state money for the installation 139.26 of video cameras in police vehicles shall participate in the 139.27 study. 139.28 (b) The data that must be collected as part of this study 139.29 include: 139.30 (1) the location of the stop; 139.31 (2) the date and time of the stop; 139.32 (3) the age, race/ethnicity, and gender of the driver; 139.33 (4) the traffic violation or reason that led to the stop; 139.34 (5) the disposition of the stop, arrest, citation, warning, 139.35 or no action; 139.36 (6) whether a search was conducted of the driver, 140.1 passengers, or vehicle; 140.2 (7) if a search was conducted, the authority for the 140.3 search; 140.4 (8) if a search was conducted, whether any contraband was 140.5 discovered or seized and the nature of the contraband; 140.6 (9) whether the officer knew the race/ethnicity of the 140.7 driver before the stop; and 140.8 (10) the law enforcement agency's code. 140.9 (c) The time period of the study shall be 12 months, 140.10 beginning on January 1, 2002, and ending December 31, 2002. 140.11 (d) The elements listed in paragraph (b) are the minimum 140.12 that a law enforcement agency participating in the study must 140.13 collect. Nothing in this section prohibits an agency from 140.14 voluntarily collecting additional data elements.

[LEGISLATIVE INTENT; REPEAL OF SECTION 243.166, 172.30 SUBDIVISION 10.] 172.31 The original intent of the legislature in enacting 172.32 Minnesota Statutes, section 243.166, subdivision 10, was to 172.33 provide for a more uniform application of the predatory offender 172.34 registration law. Applying certain amendments to the law 172.35 retroactively to certain offenders was intended to ease the 172.36 administrative burden on agencies enforcing the law and better 173.1 serve the policy underlying it. The subdivision was not 173.2 intended to act as a limitation on registration but rather, in 173.3 some cases, as an expansion. The intent in repealing this 173.4 subdivision is to prevent a potential judicial misinterpretation 173.5 of it that was neither intended nor contemplated by the 173.6 legislature. The repeal must not be construed as a substantive 173.7 change in the application or scope of Minnesota Statutes, 173.8 section 243.166. 173.9 Sec. 8.

A peace officer acting 179.20 in good faith and exercising due care in making an arrest 179.21 pursuant to this paragraph is immune from civil liability that 179.22 might result from the officer's actions. 179.23 (f) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 179.24 order for protection and that there is reason to believe that 179.25 the respondent will commit a further violation of the provisions 179.26 of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of 179.27 domestic abuse or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's 179.28 residence, the court may require the respondent to acknowledge 179.29 an obligation to comply with the order on the record. The court 179.30 may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from 179.31 committing further violations of the order for protection, 179.32 considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not 179.33 to exceed $10,000. If the respondent refuses to comply with an 179.34 order to acknowledge the obligation or post a bond under this 179.35 paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to the county 179.36 jail during the term of the order for protection or until the 180.1 respondent complies with the order under this paragraph. The 180.2 warrant must state the cause of commitment, with the sum and 180.3 time for which any bond is required. If an order is issued 180.4 under this paragraph, the court may order the costs of the 180.5 contempt action, or any part of them, to be paid by the 180.6 respondent. An order under this paragraph is appealable. 180.7 (g) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any 180.8 peace officer, or an interested party designated by the court, 180.9 alleging that the respondent has violated any order for 180.10 protection granted pursuant to this section or a similar law of 180.11 another state, the United States, the District of Columbia, 180.12 tribal lands, or United States territories, the court may issue 180.13 an order to the respondent, requiring the respondent to appear 180.14 and show cause within 14 days why the respondent should not be 180.15 found in contempt of court and punished therefor. The hearing 180.16 may be held by the court in any county in which the petitioner 180.17 or respondent temporarily or permanently resides at the time of 180.18 the alleged violation, or in the county in which the alleged 180.19 violation occurred, if the petitioner and respondent do not 180.20 reside in this state. The court also shall refer the violation 180.21 of the order for protection to the appropriate prosecuting 180.22 authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (b), (c), or 180.23 (d). 180.24 (h) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 180.25 order for protection issued under subdivision 6 or a similar law 180.26 of another state, the United States, the District of Columbia, 180.27 tribal lands, or United States territories, and the court finds 180.28 that the order has expired between the time of the alleged 180.29 violation and the court's hearing on the violation, the court 180.30 may grant a new order for protection under subdivision 6 based 180.31 solely on the respondent's alleged violation of the prior order, 180.32 to be effective until the hearing on the alleged violation of 180.33 the prior order. If the court finds that the respondent has 180.34 violated the prior order, the relief granted in the new order 180.35 for protection shall be extended for a fixed period, not to 180.36 exceed one year, except when the court determines a longer fixed 181.1 period is appropriate. 181.2 (i) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing 181.3 party excluded from the dwelling under an order for protection 181.4 is not a violation by the petitioner of the order for protection. 181.5 A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause 181.6 (1), for a failure to perform a duty required by paragraph (e). 181.7 (j) When a person is convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) 181.8 of violating an order for protection and the court determines 181.9 that the person used a firearm in any way during commission of 181.10 the violation, the court may order that the person is prohibited 181.11 from possessing any type of firearm for any period longer than 181.12 three years or for the remainder of the person's life. A person 181.13 who violates this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 181.14 At the time of the conviction, the court shall inform the 181.15 defendant whether and for how long the defendant is prohibited 181.16 from possessing a firearm and that it is a gross misdemeanor to 181.17 violate this paragraph. The failure of the court to provide 181.18 this information to a defendant does not affect the 181.19 applicability of the firearm possession prohibition or the gross 181.20 misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 181.21 (k) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), when a 181.22 person is convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an 181.23 order for protection, the court shall inform the defendant that 181.24 the defendant is prohibited from possessing a pistol for three 181.25 years from the date of conviction and that it is a gross 181.26 misdemeanor offense to violate this prohibition. The failure of 181.27 the court to provide this information to a defendant does not 181.28 affect the applicability of the pistol possession prohibition or 181.29 the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 181.30 (l) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), a person 181.31 is not entitled to possess a pistol if the person has been 181.32 convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) after August 1, 1996, of 181.33 violating an order for protection, unless three years have 181.34 elapsed from the date of conviction and, during that time, the 181.35 person has not been convicted of any other violation of this 181.36 section. Property rights may not be abated but access may be 182.1 restricted by the courts. A person who possesses a pistol in 182.2 violation of this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 182.3 (m) If the court determines that a person convicted under 182.4 paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an order for protection owns 182.5 or possesses a firearm and used it in any way during the 182.6 commission of the violation, it shall order that the firearm be 182.7 summarily forfeited under section 609.5316, subdivision 3. 182.8 Sec. 5.
