Sec. 4.

[638.13] IDENTIFICATION, COLLECTION, AND PUBLICATION OF
LAWS REGARDING COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES.

(a) The revisor of statutes shall:

(1) identify or cause to be identified any provision in this state's constitution,
statutes, and administrative rules which imposes a collateral sanction or authorizes the
imposition of a disqualification, and any provision of law that may afford relief from a
collateral consequence;

(2) in a timely manner after the effective date of sections 638.10 to 638.26, prepare a
collection of citations to, and the text or short descriptions of, the provisions identified
under clause (1); and

(3) annually update the collection in a timely manner after the regular or last special
session of the legislature in a calendar year.

In complying with clauses (1) and (2), the revisor may rely on the study of this state's
collateral sanctions, disqualifications, and relief provisions prepared by the National
Institute of Justice described in section 510 of the Court Security Improvement Act of
2007, Public Law 110-177.

(b) The revisor of statutes shall include the following statements or substantially
similar language in a prominent manner at the beginning of the collection required under
paragraph (a):

(1) This collection has not been enacted into law and does not have the force of law.

(2) An error or omission in this collection or in any reference work cited in this
collection is not a reason for invalidating a plea, conviction, or sentence or for not
imposing a collateral sanction or authorizing a disqualification.

(3) The laws of other jurisdictions and local governments which impose additional
collateral sanctions and authorize additional disqualifications are not included in this
collection.

(4) This collection does not include any law or other provision regarding the
imposition of or relief from a collateral sanction or a disqualification enacted or adopted
after (date the collection was prepared or last updated.)

(c) The Office of the Revisor of Statutes shall publish the collection prepared and
updated as required under paragraph (a). If available, it shall publish as part of the
collection, the title and Internet address of the most recent collection of:

(2) any provision of federal law that may afford relief from a collateral consequence.

(d) The collection described under paragraph (c) must be available to the public on
the Internet without charge in a reasonable time after it is created or updated.

Sec. 5.

[638.14] NOTICE OF COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES IN CITATION,
PRETRIAL PROCEEDING, AND AT GUILTY PLEA.

(a) When a peace officer issues a citation to a person for an offense, the officer shall
ensure that the person receives a notice of additional legal consequences substantially
similar to that described in paragraph (b). This requirement may be satisfied by using the
uniform traffic ticket described in section 169.99 or the statewide standard citation if that
document addresses collateral consequences of a criminal conviction.

(b) When an individual receives formal notice that the individual is charged with an
offense, the prosecuting attorney of the county or city in which the individual is charged
shall provide information substantially similar to the following to the individual:

NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

If you plead guilty or are convicted of an offense you may suffer additional legal
consequences beyond jail or prison, probation, periods of parole or supervised release, and
fines. These consequences may include:

(1) being unable to get or keep some licenses, permits, or jobs;

(2) being unable to get or keep benefits such as public housing or education;

(3) receiving a harsher sentence if you are convicted of another offense in the future;

(4) having the government take your property; and

(5) being unable to vote or possess a firearm.

If you are not a United States citizen, a guilty plea or conviction may also result
in your deportation, removal, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial
of citizenship.

The law may provide ways to obtain some relief from these consequences.

Further information about the consequences of conviction is available on the
Internet at (Internet address of the collection of laws published under section 638.13,
paragraphs (c) and (d).)

(c) Before the court accepts a plea of guilty from an individual, the court shall
confirm that the individual received and understands the notice required by paragraphs (a)
and (b), and had an opportunity to discuss the notice with counsel.

Sec. 6.

[638.15] NOTICE OF COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES AT
SENTENCING AND UPON RELEASE.

(a) As provided in paragraphs (b) and (c), an individual convicted of an offense
shall be given the following notice:

(1) that collateral consequences may apply because of this conviction;

(2) the Internet address of the collection of laws published under section 638.13,
paragraph (c);

(3) that there may be ways to obtain relief from collateral consequences;

(4) contact information for government or nonprofit agencies, groups, or
organizations, if any, offering assistance to individuals seeking relief from collateral
consequences; and

(5) when an individual convicted of an offense may vote under state law.

(b) The court shall provide the notice in paragraph (a) as a part of sentencing.

(c) If an individual is sentenced to imprisonment or other incarceration, the officer or
agency releasing the individual shall provide the notice in paragraph (a) not more than 30,
and, if practicable, at least ten days before release.

Sec. 7.

[638.16] AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED FOR COLLATERAL
SANCTION; AMBIGUITY.

(a) A collateral sanction may be imposed only by statute or ordinance, or by rule
authorized by law and adopted under chapter 14.

(b) A law creating a collateral consequence that is ambiguous as to whether it
imposes a collateral sanction or authorizes a disqualification must be construed as
authorizing a disqualification.

Sec. 8.

[638.17] DECISION TO DISQUALIFY.

In deciding whether to impose a disqualification, a decision maker shall undertake
an individualized assessment to determine whether the benefit or opportunity at issue shall
be denied the individual. In making that decision, the decision maker may consider,
if substantially related to the benefit or opportunity at issue, the particular facts and
circumstances involved in the offense, and the essential elements of the offense. A
conviction itself may not be considered except as having established the elements of the
offense. The decision maker shall also consider other relevant information including, at a
minimum, the effect on third parties of granting the benefit or opportunity and whether
the individual has been granted relief such as an order of limited relief or a certificate
of restoration of rights.

Sec. 9.

[638.18] EFFECT OF CONVICTION BY ANOTHER STATE OR THE
UNITED STATES; RELIEVED OR PARDONED CONVICTION.

(a) For purposes of authorizing or imposing a collateral consequence in this state,
a conviction of an offense in a court of another state or the United States is deemed a
conviction of the offense in this state with the same elements. If there is no offense in
this state with the same elements, the conviction is deemed a conviction of the most
serious offense in this state which is established by the elements of the offense. A
misdemeanor in the jurisdiction of conviction may not be deemed a felony in this state,
and an offense lesser than a misdemeanor in the jurisdiction of conviction may not be
deemed a conviction of a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor in this state.

(b) For purposes of authorizing or imposing a collateral consequence in this state, a
juvenile adjudication in another state or the United States may not be deemed a conviction
of a felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or offense lesser than a misdemeanor in
this state, but may be deemed a juvenile adjudication for the delinquent act in this state
with the same elements. If there is no delinquent act in this state with the same elements,
the juvenile adjudication is deemed an adjudication of the most serious delinquent act in
this state which is established by the elements of the offense.

(c) A conviction that is reversed, overturned, or otherwise vacated by a court of
competent jurisdiction of this state, another state, or the United States on grounds other
than rehabilitation or good behavior may not serve as the basis for authorizing or imposing
a collateral consequence in this state.

(d) A pardon issued by another state or the United States has the same effect for
purposes of authorizing, imposing, and relieving a collateral consequence in this state as
it has in the issuing jurisdiction.

(e) A conviction that has been relieved by expungement, sealing, annulment,
set-aside, or vacation by a court of competent jurisdiction of another state or the United
States on grounds of rehabilitation or good behavior, or for which civil rights are restored
pursuant to statute, has the same effect for purposes of authorizing or imposing collateral
consequences in this state as it has in the jurisdiction of conviction. However, this relief or
restoration of civil rights does not relieve collateral consequences applicable under the law
of this state for which relief could not be granted under section 638.21 or for which relief
was expressly withheld by the court order or by the law of the jurisdiction that relieved the
conviction. An individual convicted in another jurisdiction may seek relief under section
638.19 or 638.20 from any collateral consequence for which relief was not granted in the
issuing jurisdiction, other than those listed in section 638.21, and the administrative law
judge shall consider that the conviction was relieved or civil rights restored in deciding
whether to issue an order of limited relief or certificate of restoration of rights.

(f) A charge or prosecution in any jurisdiction which has been finally terminated
without a conviction and imposition of sentence based on participation in a deferred
adjudication or diversion program may not serve as the basis for authorizing or imposing
a collateral consequence in this state. This paragraph does not affect the validity of any
restriction or condition imposed by law as part of participation in the deferred adjudication
or diversion program, before or after the termination of the charge or prosecution.

Sec. 10.

[638.19] ORDER OF LIMITED RELIEF.

(a) The chief administrative law judge shall conduct proceedings, make
determinations, and issue orders on petitions for orders of limited relief filed under this
section.

(b) An individual convicted of an offense may petition for an order of limited relief
from one or more collateral sanctions related to employment, education, housing, public
benefits, or occupational licensing. The petition may be brought before the Office of
Administrative Hearings at any time after sentencing.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in section 638.21, the administrative law judge may
issue an order of limited relief relieving one or more of the collateral sanctions described
in paragraph (b) if, after reviewing the petition, the individual's criminal history, any
filing by a victim under section 638.24 or a prosecutor, and any other relevant evidence,
the administrative law judge finds the individual has established by a preponderance of
the evidence that:

(1) granting the petition will materially assist the individual in obtaining or
maintaining employment, education, housing, public benefits, or occupational licensing;

(2) the individual has substantial need for the relief requested in order to live a
law-abiding life; and

(3) granting the petition would not pose an unreasonable risk to the safety or welfare
of the public or any individual.

(d) Upon the request of an individual convicted of an offense and if the prosecutor
agrees, the sentencing court, at or before sentencing, shall issue an order of limited
relief under this section. The court is not required to issue the order if it determines
that the interests of the public and public safety in not issuing the order outweigh the
disadvantages to the convicted individual in issuing it. When determining whether to
agree to the request of a convicted individual, the prosecutor shall consider the criteria
listed in paragraph (c), clauses (1) to (3).

(e) The order of limited relief must specify:

(1) the collateral sanction from which relief is granted; and

(2) any restriction imposed pursuant to section 638.22, paragraph (a).

(f) An order of limited relief relieves a collateral sanction to the extent provided in
the order.

(g) If a collateral sanction has been relieved pursuant to this section, a decision
maker may consider the conduct underlying a conviction as provided in section 638.17.

(h) An individual bringing a petition under paragraph (b) shall pay a fee as
determined by the Office of Administrative Hearings. This fee may be retained by the
office and used to administer this section.

(i) The limitations described in section 14.03 do not apply to this section.

(j) The filing of a petition under paragraph (b) initiates a contested case under

individual's release from confinement pursuant to a criminal sentence in any jurisdiction,
whichever is later.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in section 638.21, the administrative law judge may

other relevant evidence, the administrative law judge finds the individual has established
by a preponderance of the evidence that:

(1) the individual is engaged in, or seeking to engage in, a lawful occupation or
activity, including employment, training, education, or rehabilitative programs, or the
individual otherwise has a lawful source of support;

(2) the individual is not in violation of the terms of any criminal sentence, or that
any failure to comply is justified, excused, involuntary, or insubstantial;

(3) a criminal charge is not pending against the individual; and

to restriction, condition, or additional requirement. When issuing, denying, modifying, or
revoking an order or certificate, the judge may impose conditions for reapplication.

(b) The judge may restrict or revoke an order of limited relief or certificate of
restoration of rights issued by the Office of Administrative Hearings or an order of limited
relief issued by a court in this state if it finds just cause by a preponderance of the
evidence. Just cause includes subsequent conviction of a felony in this state or of an
offense in another jurisdiction that is deemed a felony in this state under section 638.18,
paragraph (a). An order of restriction or revocation may be issued:

another prosecutorial agency designated by a prosecutor notified under paragraph (a) may
submit evidence and be heard on those issues.

revocation of orders of limited relief and certificates of restoration of rights. The criminal

a person's due care in hiring, retaining, licensing, leasing to, admitting to a school or
program, or otherwise transacting business or engaging in activity with the individual to
whom the order was issued, if the person knew of the order or certificate at the time
of the alleged negligence or other fault.

Sec. 16.

imposed, unless the law creating the collateral consequence expressly states that sections
638.10 to 638.26 do not apply.

(b) Sections 638.10 to 638.26 do not invalidate the imposition of a collateral sanction
on an individual before the effective date of sections 638.10 to 638.26, but a collateral
sanction validly imposed before the effective date of sections 638.10 to 638.26 may be
the subject of relief under these sections.

STANDARD CITATION.

By January 1, 2016, the uniform traffic ticket described in Minnesota Statutes,
section 169.99, and the statewide standard citation must include a notice of additional
