BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 3.7393, subdivision 12, is amended to read:


Subd. 12.

Supplemental payments.

(a) For purposes of this subdivision,
"uncompensated medical expenses" means:

(1) medical expenses less payments made to a survivor from collateral sources
referred to in section deleted text begin548.36deleted text endnew text begin 548.251new text end, subdivision 1, that provide payments for medical
expenses; and

(2) the present value of premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance payments for
high-risk health plan coverage offered by the Minnesota Comprehensive Health
Association or by another similar health plan.

(b) A survivor is eligible for a supplemental payment if the offer of settlement
calculation for the survivor, as provided in subdivision 10, exceeds $400,000.
The supplemental payment must be calculated based solely on that portion of the
uncompensated medical expenses, loss of income, future earning capacity, or other
financial support for which compensation was not received under the offer of settlement or
settlement agreement under subdivision 11. A supplemental payment may only be made
to a survivor who has accepted an offer of settlement, entered into a settlement agreement,
and executed a release under subdivision 13. Consistent with the requirements of this
section, the panel shall establish necessary procedures and timelines for the award of
supplemental payments. A supplemental payment may be made only for the following
purposes, in the following order of priority:

(1) to pay uncompensated medical expenses in excess of those paid from the first
$400,000; and

(2) to pay for loss of income, future earning capacity, or other financial support
not included in the first $400,000.

No payment may be made to a survivor for loss of income under clause (2) unless
and until all survivors have been fully paid for all medical expenses for which they are
eligible under clause (1).

(c) If the available appropriation is insufficient to make full awards to all survivors
eligible for a supplemental payment, the panel may award the payments based on a uniform
percentage of the amount that is less than the full amount eligible for a supplemental
payment or take other steps the panel considers necessary to ensure that the available
appropriation is equitably distributed among all survivors who have requested and qualify

receiving a timely written request for a hearing, the authorizer shall give ten business days'
notice to the charter school's board of directors of the hearing date. The authorizer shall
conduct an informal hearing before taking final action. The authorizer shall take final

the charter school to mutually agree to terminate the contract. If no transfer of deleted text beginsponsordeleted text endnew text begin
authorizer
new text end is approved, the school must be dissolved according to applicable law and
the terms of the contract.

(d) The commissioner, after providing reasonable notice to the board of directors of

care no later than 180 days after the initial placement of the child in foster care and at least
every six months thereafter if the child is not returned to the home of the parent or parents
within that time. The out-of-home placement plan must be monitored and updated at each

the parents who are the subject of the review. The administrative review shall be open to
participation by the parent or guardian of the child and the child, as appropriate.

(b) As an alternative to the administrative review required in paragraph (a), the court

(2) the continuing necessity for and appropriateness of the placement;

(3) the extent of compliance with the out-of-home placement plan;

(4) the extent of progress which has been made toward alleviating or mitigating the

(5) the projected date by which the child may be returned to and safely maintained in
the home or placed permanently away from the care of the parent or parents or guardian;
and

(6) the appropriateness of the services provided to the child.

(d) When a child is age 16 or older, in addition to any administrative review
conducted by the agency, at the review required under section 260C.201, subdivision 11,
paragraph (d), clause (3), item (iii); or 260C.317, subdivision 3, clause (3), the court shall
review the independent living plan required under subdivision 1, paragraph (c), clause
(11), and the provision of services to the child related to the well-being of the child as
the child prepares to leave foster care. The review shall include the actual plans related
to each item in the plan necessary to the child's future safety and well-being when the
child is no longer in foster care.

(1) At the court review, the responsible social services agency shall establish that
it has given the notice required under Minnesota Rules, part deleted text begin9560.0060deleted text endnew text begin 9560.0660new text end,
regarding the right to continued access to services for certain children in foster care past
age 18 and of the right to appeal a denial of social services under section 256.045. If the
agency is unable to establish that the notice, including the right to appeal a denial of social
services, has been given, the court shall require the agency to give it.

(2) The court shall make findings regarding progress toward or accomplishment of
the following goals:

(i) the child has obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent;

(ii) the child has completed a driver's education course or has demonstrated the
ability to use public transportation in the child's community;

(iii) the child is employed or enrolled in postsecondary education;

(iv) the child has applied for and obtained postsecondary education financial aid for

identification card or driver's license, green card, or school visa; the child's school,
medical, and dental records; a contact list of the child's medical, dental, and mental health
providers; and contact information for the child's siblings, if the siblings are in foster care.

(e) When a child is age 17 or older, during the 90-day period immediately prior to
the date the child is expected to be discharged from foster care, the responsible social
services agency is required to provide the child with assistance and support in developing
a transition plan that is personalized at the direction of the child. The transition plan
must be as detailed as the child may elect and include specific options on housing, health
insurance, education, local opportunities for mentors and continuing support services,
and work force supports and employment services. The county shall also provide the
individual with appropriate contact information if the individual needs more information
or needs help dealing with a crisis situation through age 21.

Sec. 53.

Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 260C.301, subdivision 1, is amended to read:


Subdivision 1.

Voluntary and involuntary.

The juvenile court may upon petition,
terminate all rights of a parent to a child:

(a) with the written consent of a parent who for good cause desires to terminate
parental rights; or

(b) if it finds that one or more of the following conditions exist:

(1) that the parent has abandoned the child;

(2) that the parent has substantially, continuously, or repeatedly refused or neglected
to comply with the duties imposed upon that parent by the parent and child relationship,
including but not limited to providing the child with necessary food, clothing, shelter,
education, and other care and control necessary for the child's physical, mental, or
emotional health and development, if the parent is physically and financially able, and
either reasonable efforts by the social services agency have failed to correct the conditions
that formed the basis of the petition or reasonable efforts would be futile and therefore
unreasonable;

(3) that a parent has been ordered to contribute to the support of the child or
financially aid in the child's birth and has continuously failed to do so without good cause.
This clause shall not be construed to state a grounds for termination of parental rights of a
noncustodial parent if that parent has not been ordered to or cannot financially contribute
to the support of the child or aid in the child's birth;

(4) that a parent is palpably unfit to be a party to the parent and child relationship
because of a consistent pattern of specific conduct before the child or of specific conditions
directly relating to the parent and child relationship either of which are determined by
the court to be of a duration or nature that renders the parent unable, for the reasonably
foreseeable future, to care appropriately for the ongoing physical, mental, or emotional
needs of the child. It is presumed that a parent is palpably unfit to be a party to the parent
and child relationship upon a showing that the parent's parental rights to one or more other
children were involuntarily terminated or that the parent's custodial rights to another child
have been involuntarily transferred to a relative under section 260C.201, subdivision 11,
paragraph (e), clause (1), or a similar law of another jurisdiction;

(5) that following the child's placement out of the home, reasonable efforts, under the
direction of the court, have failed to correct the conditions leading to the child's placement.
It is presumed that reasonable efforts under this clause have failed upon a showing that:

(i) a child has resided out of the parental home under court order for a cumulative
period of 12 months within the preceding 22 months. In the case of a child under age eight
at the time the petition was filed alleging the child to be in need of protection or services,
the presumption arises when the child has resided out of the parental home under court
order for six months unless the parent has maintained regular contact with the child and
the parent is complying with the out-of-home placement plan;

(ii) the court has approved the out-of-home placement plan required under section
260C.212 and filed with the court under section 260C.178;

(iii) conditions leading to the out-of-home placement have not been corrected. It
is presumed that conditions leading to a child's out-of-home placement have not been
corrected upon a showing that the parent or parents have not substantially complied with
the court's orders and a reasonable case plan; and

(iv) reasonable efforts have been made by the social services agency to rehabilitate
the parent and reunite the family.

This clause does not prohibit the termination of parental rights prior to one year, or
in the case of a child under age eight, prior to six months after a child has been placed
out of the home.

It is also presumed that reasonable efforts have failed under this clause upon a
showing that:

(A) the parent has been diagnosed as chemically dependent by a professional
certified to make the diagnosis;

(B) the parent has been required by a case plan to participate in a chemical
dependency treatment program;

(C) the treatment programs offered to the parent were culturally, linguistically,
and clinically appropriate;

(D) the parent has either failed two or more times to successfully complete a
treatment program or has refused at two or more separate meetings with a caseworker
to participate in a treatment program; and

(E) the parent continues to abuse chemicals.

(6) that a child has experienced egregious harm in the parent's care which is of a
nature, duration, or chronicity that indicates a lack of regard for the child's well-being,
such that a reasonable person would believe it contrary to the best interest of the child
or of any child to be in the parent's care;

(7) that in the case of a child born to a mother who was not married to the child's
father when the child was conceived nor when the child was born the person is not entitled
to notice of an adoption hearing under section 259.49 and the person has not registered
with the fathers' adoption registry under section 259.52;

(8) that the child is neglected and in foster care; or

(9) that the parent has been convicted of a crime listed in section 260.012, paragraph
deleted text begin (b)deleted text endnew text begin (g)new text end
, clauses (1) to (3).

In an action involving an American Indian child, sections 260.751 to 260.835 and

to the extent that the provisions of this section are inconsistent with those laws.

result in immediate revocation of the individual's license to assess property for property tax
purposes. This prohibition must not be construed to prohibit an individual from carrying
out any duties required for the proper assessment of property for property tax purposes.
If a formal resolution has been adopted by the governing body of a governmental unit,
which specifies the purposes for which such work will be done, this prohibition does not
apply to appraisal activities undertaken on behalf of and at the request of the governmental
unit that has employed or contracted with the individual. The resolution may only allow
appraisal activities which are related to condemnations, right-of-way acquisitions, or
special assessments.

fee may not exceed 30 percent of the savings, as calculated under paragraph (a).

(b) The collection of monthly fees shall cease under this subdivision when the
total of monthly fees and the origination fee equals 50 percent of the total fees allowable
under this subdivision. For the purposes of this subdivision, 50 percent of the total fees
allowable shall assume a settlement of 50 cents on the dollar.

Local approval of bylaw amendments; filing requirements.

(a) Each
defined benefit relief association to which this section applies must file a revised copy
of its governing bylaws with the state auditor upon the adoption of any amendment to
its governing bylaws by the relief association or upon the approval of any amendment
to its governing bylaws granted by the governing body of each municipality served by
the fire department to which the relief association is directly associated. Failure of the
relief association to file a copy of the bylaws or any bylaw amendments with the state
auditor disqualifies the municipality from the distribution of any future fire state aid until
this filing requirement has been completed.

(b) If the special fund of the relief association does not have a surplus over full
funding under section 69.772, subdivision 3, deleted text beginclause (2), subclause (e)deleted text endnew text begin paragraph (c),
clause (5)
new text end, or 69.773, subdivision 4, and if the municipality is required to provide financial
support to the special fund of the relief association under section 69.772 or 69.773, no
bylaw amendment which would affect the amount of, the manner of payment of, or the
conditions for qualification for service pensions or ancillary benefits or disbursements
other than administrative expenses authorized under section 69.80 payable from the
special fund of the relief association is effective until it has been ratified by the governing
body or bodies of the appropriate municipalities. If the municipality is not required to
provide financial support to the special fund under this section, the relief association may
adopt or amend without municipal ratification its articles of incorporation or bylaws
which increase or otherwise affect the service pensions or ancillary benefits payable
from the special fund so long as the changes do not cause the amount of the resulting
increase in the accrued liability of the special fund to exceed 90 percent of the amount
of the surplus over full funding reported in the prior year and the changes do not result
in the financial requirements of the special fund exceeding the expected amount of the
subsequent calendar year's fire state aid to be received by the relief association.

(c) If the relief association pays only a lump-sum pension, the financial requirements
are to be determined by the board of trustees following the preparation of an estimate
of the expected increase in the accrued liability and annual accruing liability of the
relief association attributable to the change. If the relief association pays a monthly
benefit service pension, the financial requirements are to be determined by the board of
trustees following either an updated actuarial valuation including the proposed change
or an estimate of the expected actuarial impact of the proposed change prepared by the
actuary of the relief association. If a relief association adopts or amends its articles
of incorporation or bylaws without municipal ratification under this subdivision, and,
subsequent to the amendment or adoption, the financial requirements of the special fund
under this section are such so as to require financial support from the municipality, the
provision which was implemented without municipal ratification is no longer effective
without municipal ratification, and any service pensions or ancillary benefits payable after
that date must be paid only in accordance with the articles of incorporation or bylaws as
amended or adopted with municipal ratification.
