611.21 SERVICES OTHER THAN COUNSEL.
(a) Counsel appointed by the court for an indigent defendant, or representing a defendant
who, at the outset of the prosecution, has an annual income not greater than 125 percent of
the poverty line established under United States Code, title 42, section 9902(2), may file
an ex parte application requesting investigative, expert, new text begin interpreter, new text end or other services necessary
to an adequate defense in the case. Upon finding, after appropriate inquiry in an ex parte
proceeding, that the services are necessary and that the defendant is financially unable to
obtain them, the court shall authorize counsel to obtain the services on behalf of the
defendant. The court may establish a limit on the amount which may be expended or promised
for such services. The court may, in the interests of justice, and upon a finding that timely
procurement of necessary services could not await prior authorization, ratify such services
after they have been obtained, but such ratification shall be given only in unusual situations.
The court shall determine reasonable compensation for the services and direct payment by
the county in which the prosecution originated, to the organization or person who rendered
them, upon the filing of a claim for compensation supported by an affidavit specifying the
time expended, services rendered, and expenses incurred on behalf of the defendant, and
the compensation received in the same case or for the same services from any other source.
(b) The compensation to be paid to a person for such service rendered to a defendant
under this section, or to be paid to an organization for such services rendered by an employee,
may not exceed $1,000, exclusive of reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred,
unless payment in excess of that limit is certified by the court as necessary to provide fair
compensation for services of an unusual character or duration and the amount of the excess
payment is approved by the chief judge of the district. The chief judge of the judicial district
may delegate approval authority to an active district judge.
(c) If the court denies authorizing counsel to obtain services on behalf of the defendant,
the court shall make written findings of fact and conclusions of law that state the basis for
determining that counsel may not obtain services on behalf of the defendant. When the court
issues an order denying counsel the authority to obtain services, the defendant may appeal
immediately from that order to the court of appeals and may request an expedited hearing.

omnibus hearing held pursuant to rule 11 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure, a prosecutor
discovers additional material, information, or witnesses subject to disclosure under this
subdivision, the prosecutor must promptly notify the court and defense counsel, or, if the

practice under subdivisions 1 to 3. The general prohibition against inquiring into the pay
history of an applicant does not apply if the job applicant's pay history is a matter of public
record under federal or state law, unless the employer, employment agency, or labor
organization sought access to those public records with the intent of obtaining pay history

compensation for that applicant.

organization, nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit that employer, employment agency,
or labor organization from considering or acting on that voluntarily disclosed salary history
information to support a wage or salary higher than initially offered by the employer,
employment agency, or labor organization.

4, the commissioner may seek relief for a class of individuals affected by an unfair
discriminatory practice occurring on or after a date one year prior to the filing of the charge
from which the complaint originates.
(h) The commissioner may adopt policies to determine which charges are processed and
the order in which charges are processed based on their particular social or legal significance,
administrative convenience, difficulty of resolution, or other standard consistent with the

intentional and frivolous delay caused by any charging party or respondent in an investigation,

(b) A vehicle encumbered by a security interest perfected according to section 168A.17,
subdivision 2, or subject to a lease that has a term of 180 days or more, is subject to the

(b) Within 60 days from when a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within
a reasonable time after seizure, the appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of
the vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the vehicle. Additionally, when
a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all
persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest in the vehicle must
be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit the vehicle. For those vehicles required to
be registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known to have a security interest
in the vehicle is required only if the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest
is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or prosecuting
authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed
90 days for good cause shown. Notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in
Department of Public Safety records is sufficient notice to the registered owner of the
vehicle. For motor vehicles not required to be registered under chapter 168, notice mailed
by certified mail to the address shown in the applicable filing or registration for the vehicle
is sufficient notice to a person known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest
in the vehicle. Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for service
of a summons in a civil action.
(c) The notice must be in writing and contain:
(1) a description of the vehicle seized;
(2) the date of seizure; and
(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for
obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the
appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.

seized vehicle as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant
alleges the vehicle was improperly seized, the claimant's interest in the vehicle seized, and
any affirmative defenses the claimant may have. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary,
an action for the return of a vehicle seized under this section may not be maintained by or

Subd. 9.
Judicial forfeiture procedure.
(a) This subdivision governs judicial
determinations of the forfeiture of a motor vehicle used to commit a designated offense or
used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation. An action for forfeiture is a
civil in rem action and is independent of any criminal prosecution. All proceedings are
governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure.
(b) If no demand for judicial determination of the forfeiture is pending, the prosecuting
authority may, in the name of the jurisdiction pursuing the forfeiture, file a separate complaint
against the vehicle, describing it, specifying that it was used in the commission of a
designated offense or was used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation, and
specifying the time and place of its unlawful use.
(c) The prosecuting authority may file an answer to a properly served demand for judicial
determination, including an affirmative counterclaim for forfeiture. The prosecuting authority
is not required to file an answer.
(d) A judicial determination under this subdivision must be held at the earliest practicable
date, and in any event no later than 180 days following the filing of the demand by the
claimant. If a related criminal proceeding is pending, the hearing shall not be held until the
conclusion of the criminal proceedings. The district court administrator shall schedule the
hearing as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the criminal prosecution. The district
court administrator shall establish procedures to ensure efficient compliance with this
subdivision. The hearing is to the court without a jury.
(e) There is a presumption that a vehicle seized under this section is subject to forfeiture
if the prosecuting authority establishes that the vehicle was used in the commission of a
designated offense or designated license revocation. A claimant bears the burden of proving
any affirmative defense raised.
(f) If the forfeiture is based on the commission of a designated offense and the person
charged with the designated offense appears in court as required and is not convicted of the
offense, the court shall order the property returned to the person legally entitled to it upon
that person's compliance with the redemption requirements of section 169A.42. If the
forfeiture is based on a designated license revocation, and the license revocation is rescinded
under section 169A.53, subdivision 3 (judicial review hearing, issues, order, appeal), the
court shall order the property returned to the person legally entitled to it upon that person's
compliance with the redemption requirements of section 169A.42.
(g) If the lawful ownership of the vehicle used in the commission of a designated offense
or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation can be determined and the
owner makes the demonstration required under subdivision deleted text begin 7, paragraph (d)deleted text end new text begin 7anew text end , the vehicle
must be returned immediately upon the owner's compliance with the redemption requirements

that filing fees be reimbursed to the person who filed the demand for judicial determination.
In addition, the courtdeleted text end may order sanctions under section 549.211 (sanctions in civil actions).

Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 609.5314, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2.
Administrative forfeiture procedure.
(a) Forfeiture of property described in
subdivision 1 that does not exceed $50,000 in value is governed by this subdivision. Within
60 days from when seizure occurs, all persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or
security interest in seized property must be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit
the property. In the case of a motor vehicle required to be registered under chapter 168,
notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in Department of Public Safety records
is deemed sufficient notice to the registered owner. The notification to a person known to
have a security interest in seized property required under this paragraph applies only to
motor vehicles required to be registered under chapter 168 and only if the security interest
is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or the prosecuting
authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed
90 days for good cause shown.
(b) Notice may otherwise be given in the manner provided by law for service of a
summons in a civil action. The notice must be in writing and contain:
(1) a description of the property seized;
(2) the date of seizure; and
(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for
obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the
appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
"WARNING:new text begin If you were the person arrested when the property was seized,new text end you will
automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do

(c) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (a), and no time extension is granted
or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the property to the
person from whom the property was seized, if known. An agency's return of property due
to lack of proper notice does not restrict the agency's authority to commence a forfeiture
proceeding at a later time. The agency shall not be required to return contraband or other
property that the person from whom the property was seized may not legally possess.

who took a child into custody does not release the child as provided in subdivision 1, the
peace officer or probation or parole officer shall communicate with or deliver the child to
a juvenile secure detention facility to determine whether the child should be released or
detained. Before detaining a child, the supervisor of the facility shall use an objective and
racially, ethnically, and gender-responsive juvenile detention risk assessment instrument
developed by the commissioner of corrections, county, group of counties, or judicial district,
in consultation with the state coordinator or coordinators of the Minnesota Juvenile Detention
Alternatives Initiative. The risk assessment instrument must assess the likelihood that a
child released from preadjudication detention under this section or section 260B.178 would
endanger others or not return for a court hearing. The instrument must identify the appropriate
setting for a child who might endanger others or not return for a court hearing pending
adjudication, with either continued detention or placement in a noncustodial
community-based supervision setting. The instrument must also identify the type of
noncustodial community-based supervision setting necessary to minimize the risk that a
child who is released from custody will endanger others or not return for a court hearing.
If, after using the instrument, a determination is made that the child should be released, the
person taking the child into custody or the supervisor of the facility shall release the child
as provided in subdivision 1.

Subd. 6.
Child in need of protection or services.
"Child in need of protection or
services" means a child who is in need of protection or services because the child:
(1) is abandoned or without parent, guardian, or custodian;
(2)(i) has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse as defined in section 260E.03,
subdivision 18 or 20, (ii) resides with or has resided with a victim of child abuse as defined
in subdivision 5 or domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13, (iii) resides with or

condition because the child's parent, guardian, or custodian is unable or unwilling to provide
that care;
(5) is medically neglected, which includes, but is not limited to, the withholding of
medically indicated treatment from an infant with a disability with a life-threatening
condition. The term "withholding of medically indicated treatment" means the failure to
respond to the infant's life-threatening conditions by providing treatment, including
appropriate nutrition, hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or advanced
practice registered nurse's reasonable medical judgment, will be most likely to be effective
in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, except that the term does not include the failure
to provide treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant
when, in the treating physician's or advanced practice registered nurse's reasonable medical
judgment:
(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;
(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in
ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be
futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or
(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival of
the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;
(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be relieved
of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a voluntary
placement agreement between the parent and the responsible social services agency under
section 260C.227;
(7) has been placed for adoption or care in violation of law;
(8) is without proper parental care because of the emotional, mental, or physical disability,
or state of immaturity of the child's parent, guardian, or other custodian;
(9) is one whose behavior, condition, or environment is such as to be injurious or
dangerous to the child or others. An injurious or dangerous environment may include, but
is not limited to, the exposure of a child to criminal activity in the child's home;
(10) is experiencing growth delays, which may be referred to as failure to thrive, that
have been diagnosed by a physician and are due to parental neglect;
(11) is a sexually exploited youth;
(12) has committed a delinquent act or a juvenile petty offense before becoming deleted text begin tendeleted text end new text begin 13new text end
years old;
(13) is a runaway;
(14) is a habitual truant;
(15) has been found incompetent to proceed or has been found not guilty by reason of
mental illness or mental deficiency in connection with a delinquency proceeding, a
certification under section 260B.125, an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, or a
proceeding involving a juvenile petty offense; or
(16) has a parent whose parental rights to one or more other children were involuntarily
terminated or whose custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred to
a relative and there is a case plan prepared by the responsible social services agency
documenting a compelling reason why filing the termination of parental rights petition under
section 260C.503, subdivision 2, is not in the best interests of the child.

(a) When
it appears necessary to enforce discipline or to prevent a person on conditional release from
escaping or absconding from supervision, the chief executive officer or designee of a
community corrections agency in a CCA county has the authority to issue a written order
directing any peace officer or any probation officer in the state serving the district and
juvenile courts to detain and bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever
is appropriate, for disposition. new text begin If the person on conditional release commits a violation
described in section 609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (a), the chief executive officer or
designee must have a reasonable belief that the order is necessary to prevent the person
from escaping or absconding from supervision or that the continued presence of the person
in the community presents a risk to public safety before issuing a written order. new text end This written
order is sufficient authority for the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person
for not more than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, pending a hearing
before the court or the commissioner.
(b) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA
county has the authority to issue a written order directing a peace officer or probation officer
serving the district and juvenile courts to release a person detained under paragraph (a)
within 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, without an appearance before
the court or the commissioner. This written order is sufficient authority for the peace officer
or probation officer to release the detained person.
(c) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA
county has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer or any probation
officer serving the district and juvenile courts to detain any person on court-ordered pretrial
release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the conditions of pretrial
release. A written order issued under this paragraph is sufficient authority for the peace
officer or probation officer to detain the person.

When the commissioner shall determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe
that a county or group of counties is not in substantial compliance with minimum standards,
at least 30 days' notice shall be given the county or counties and a hearing conducted by
the commissioner to ascertain whether there is substantial compliance or satisfactory progress
being made toward compliance. The commissioner may suspend all or a portion of any
subsidy until the required standard of operation has been met.

Grounds.

conditions of probation or intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of misconduct
which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, the court may without notice revoke
the stay and direct that the defendant be taken into immediate custody.new text begin Revocation should
only be used as a last resort when rehabilitation has failed.
new text end
(b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the conditions of probation during
the term of the stay, but the term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation
officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate probation revocation proceedings
under the Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time within six months after the expiration
of the stay. The court also may initiate proceedings under these circumstances on its own
motion. If proceedings are initiated within this six-month period, the court may conduct a
revocation hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any time during or
after the six-month period.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.135 or any law to the contrary, after
proceedings to revoke the stay have been initiated by a court order revoking the stay and
directing either that the defendant be taken into custody or that a summons be issued in
accordance with paragraph (a), the proceedings to revoke the stay may be concluded and
the summary hearing provided by subdivision 2 may be conducted after the expiration of
the stay or after the six-month period set forth in paragraph (b). The proceedings to revoke
the stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary hearing is conducted after the
term of the stay or after the six-month period. The ability or inability to locate or apprehend
the defendant prior to the expiration of the stay or during or after the six-month period shall
not preclude the court from conducting the summary hearing unless the defendant
demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair
advantage.

(1) or (2), the court shall grant the petition to seal the record unless the agency or jurisdiction
whose records would be affected establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the
interests of the public and public safety outweigh the disadvantages to the petitioner of not
sealing the record.
(c) In making a determination under this subdivision, the court shall consider:

toward payment, and the measures in place to help ensure completion of restitution payment
after expungement of the record if granted; and
(12) other factors deemed relevant by the court.
(d) Notwithstanding section 13.82, 13.87, or any other law to the contrary, if the court
issues an expungement order it may require that the criminal record be sealed, the existence
of the record not be revealed, and the record not be opened except as required under
subdivision 7. Records must not be destroyed or returned to the subject of the record.
(e) Information relating to a criminal history record of an employee, former employee,
or tenant that has been expunged before the occurrence of the act giving rise to the civil
action may not be introduced as evidence in a civil action against a private employer or

safety includes the promotion of human rights. "Public safety" means reducing or preventing
crime while maintaining the basic rights, freedoms, and privileges that belong to every
person including the right to dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and freedom from
discrimination, and is achieved by preferring the use of community services to imprisonment
or other confinement unless confinement is necessary to protect the public, promoting the
rehabilitation of those convicted through the provision of evidence-based programming and
services, and imposing sanctions that are the least restrictive necessary to achieve
accountability, address the harm for the offense, and ensure victim safety.

Sentencing Guidelines for the district court. The guidelines shall be based on reasonable
offense and offender characteristics. The guidelines promulgated by the commission shall
be advisory to the district court and shall establish:
(1) the circumstances under which imprisonment of an offender is proper; and
(2) a presumptive, fixed sentence for offenders for whom imprisonment is proper, based
on each appropriate combination of reasonable offense and offender characteristics. The
guidelines shall provide for an increase of 20 percent and a decrease of 15 percent in the
presumptive, fixed sentence.
The Sentencing Guidelines promulgated by the commission may also establish appropriate
sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper. Any guidelines promulgated
by the commission establishing sanctions for offenders for whom imprisonment is not proper
shall make specific reference to noninstitutional sanctions, including but not limited to the
following: payment of fines, day fines, restitution, community work orders, work release
programs in local facilities, community based residential and nonresidential programs,
incarceration in a local correctional facility, and probation and the conditions thereof.
Although the Sentencing Guidelines are advisory to the district court, the court shall
follow the procedures of the guidelines when it pronounces sentence in a proceeding to
which the guidelines apply by operation of statute. Sentencing pursuant to the Sentencing
Guidelines is not a right that accrues to a person convicted of a felony; it is a procedure
based on state public policy to maintain uniformity, proportionality, rationality, and
predictability in sentencing.

the commission shall be public safety. new text begin Promoting public safety includes the promotion of
human rights. "Public safety" means reducing or preventing crime while maintaining the

local and state correctional facilities; and the long-term negative impact of the crime on the
community.
The provisions of sections 14.001 to 14.69 do not apply to the promulgation of the
Sentencing Guidelines, and the Sentencing Guidelines, including severity levels and criminal
history scores, are not subject to review by the legislative commission to review
administrative rules. However, the commission shall adopt rules pursuant to sections 14.001

including procedures for the promulgation of severity levels and criminal history scores,
and these rules shall be subject to review by the Legislative Coordinating Commission.
