           Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 343.235, is

           343.235 [DISPOSITION OF SEIZED ANIMALS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [GENERAL RULE.] An animal taken into 
        custody under section 343.22 or 343.29 may be humanely disposed 
        of at the discretion of the jurisdiction having custody of the 
        animal seven ten days after the animal is taken into custody, 
        provided that the procedures in subdivision 3 are followed.  An 
        animal raised for food or fiber products may not be seized or 
        disposed of without prior examination by a licensed veterinarian 
        pursuant to a warrant issued by a judge.  
           Subd. 2.  [SECURITY.] A person claiming an interest in an 
        animal in custody under subdivision 1 may prevent disposition of 
        the animal by posting a bond or security in an amount sufficient 
        to provide for the animal's actual costs of care and keeping for 
        at least 30 days, inclusive of the date on which the animal was 
        taken into custody.  Even if a bond or security is posted, the 
        authority having custody of the animal may humanely dispose of 
        the animal at the end of the time for which expenses of care and 
        keeping are covered by the bond or security, unless there is a 
        court order prohibiting the disposition.  The order must provide 
        for a bond or other security in the amount necessary to protect 
        the authority having custody of the animal from any cost of the 
        care, keeping, or disposal of the animal.  The security must be 
        posted within ten days of the seizure inclusive of the date of 
        the seizure. 
           Subd. 3.  [NOTICE; RIGHT TO HEARING.] (a) The authority 
        taking custody of an animal under section 343.22 or 343.29 shall 
        give notice of this section by delivering or mailing it to a 
        person claiming an interest in the animal or by posting a copy 
        of it at the place where the animal is taken into custody or by 
        delivering it to a person residing on the property, and 
        telephoning, if possible.  The notice must include: 
           (1) a description of the animal seized; the authority and 
        purpose for the seizure; the time, place, and circumstances 
        under which the animal was seized; and the location, address, 
        telephone number, and contact person where the animal is kept; 
           (2) a statement that a person claiming an interest in the 
        animal may post security to prevent disposition of the animal 
        and may request a hearing concerning the seizure or impoundment 
        and that failure to do so within ten days of the date of the 
        notice will result in disposition of the animal; and 
           (3) a statement that all actual costs of the care, keeping, 
        and disposal of the animal are the responsibility of the person 
        claiming an interest in the animal, except to the extent that a 
        court or hearing officer finds that the seizure or impoundment 
        was not substantially justified by law. 
           The notice must also include a form that can be used by a 
        person claiming an interest in the animal for requesting a 
        hearing under this subdivision. 
           (b) Upon request of a person claiming an interest in the 
        animal, which request must be made within ten days of the date 
        of seizure, a hearing must be held within five business days of 
        the request, to determine the validity of the seizure and 
        impoundment.  If the seizure was done pursuant to a warrant 
        under section 343.22, the hearing must be conducted by the judge 
        who issued the warrant.  If the seizure was done under section 
        343.29, the municipality taking custody of the animal or, in the 
        case of a humane society, the municipality from which the animal 
        was seized, may either (1) authorize a licensed veterinarian 
        with no financial interest in the matter or professional 
        association with either party or (2) use the services of a 
        hearing officer to conduct the hearing.  A person claiming an 
        interest in the animal who is aggrieved by a decision of a 
        hearing officer under this subdivision may seek a court order 
        governing the seizure or impoundment within five days of notice 
        of the order. 
           (c) The judge or hearing officer may authorize the return 
        of the animal, if the judge or hearing officer finds that: 
           (1) the animal is physically fit; and 
           (2) the person claiming an interest in the animal can and 
        will provide the care required by law for the animal. 
           (d) The person claiming an interest in the animal is liable 
        for all actual costs of care, keeping, and disposal of the 
        animal, except to the extent that a court or hearing officer 
        finds that the seizure or impoundment was not substantially 
        justified by law.  The costs must be paid in full or a mutually 
        satisfactory arrangement for payment must be made between the 
        municipality and the person claiming an interest in the animal 
        before return of the animal to the person. 
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 343.29, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [DELIVERY TO SHELTER.] Any peace officer, 
        animal control officer, or agent of the federation or county or 
        district societies for the prevention of cruelty, may remove, 
        shelter, and care for any animal which is not properly sheltered 
        from cold, hot, or inclement weather or any animal not properly 
        fed and watered, or provided with suitable food and drink in 
        circumstances that threaten the life of the animal.  When 
        necessary, a peace officer, animal control officer, or agent may 
        deliver the animal to another person to be sheltered and cared 
        for, and furnished with suitable food and drink.  In all cases, 
        the owner, if known, shall be immediately notified as provided 
        in section 343.235, subdivision 3, and the person having 
        possession of the animal, shall have a lien thereon for 
        its actual costs of care and keeping and the expenses of the 
        notice.  If the owner or custodian is unknown and cannot by 
        reasonable effort be ascertained, or does not, within seven ten 
        days after notice, redeem the animal by paying the expenses 
        authorized by this subdivision, the animal may be disposed of as 
        provided in section 343.235.

        probation officers serving the district and juvenile courts 
        of participating counties participating in the subsidy program 
        established by this chapter may, without order or warrant, when 
        it appears necessary to prevent escape or enforce discipline, to

        commissioner of corrections or a designee, whichever is

        with the prosecuting attorney within 30 days of service of the

        district court that could, among other remedies, result in 
        enjoining the use of the building for any purpose for one year 
        or, in the case of a tenant, could result in cancellation of the 
        lease; and

           617.82 [TEMPORARY ORDER.] 
           Whenever a city attorney, county attorney, or the attorney 
        general prosecuting attorney has cause to believe that a 
        nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, exists 
        within the jurisdiction the attorney serves, that the 
        prosecuting attorney may by verified petition seek a temporary 
        injunction in district court in the county in which the alleged 
        public nuisance exists, provided that at least 30 days have 
        expired since service of the notice required under section

        be heard.  Upon proof of a nuisance described in section 617.81, 
        subdivision 2, the court shall issue a temporary injunction.  
        Any temporary injunction issued must describe the conduct to be 
        enjoined. 
           Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 617.85, is 
        amended to read: 
           617.85 [NUISANCE; MOTION TO CANCEL LEASE.] 
           Where notice is provided under section 617.81, subdivision 
        4, that an abatement of a nuisance is sought and the 
        circumstances that are the basis for the requested abatement 
        involved the acts of a commercial or residential tenant or 
        lessee of part or all of a building, the owner of the building 
        that is subject to the abatement proceeding may file before the 
        court that has jurisdiction over the abatement proceeding a 
        motion to cancel the lease or otherwise secure restitution of 
        the premises from the tenant or lessee who has maintained or 
        conducted the nuisance.  The owner may assign to the prosecuting 
        attorney the right to file this motion.  In addition to the 
        grounds provided in chapter 566, the maintaining or conducting 
        of a nuisance as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, by a 
        tenant or lessee, is an additional ground authorized by law for 
        seeking the cancellation of a lease or the restitution of the 
        premises.  It is no defense to a motion under this section by 
        the owner or the prosecuting attorney that the lease or other 
        agreement controlling the tenancy or leasehold does not provide 
        for eviction or cancellation of the lease upon the ground 
        provided in this section. 
           Upon a finding by the court that the tenant or lessee has 
        maintained or conducted a nuisance in any portion of the 
        building under the control of the tenant or lessee, the court 
        shall order cancellation of the lease or tenancy and grant 
        restitution of the premises to the owner.  The court must not 
        order abatement of the premises if the court:  
           (a) upon the motion of the building owner cancels a lease 
        or tenancy and grants restitution of that portion of the 
        premises to the owner; and 
           (b) further finds that the acts constituting the nuisance 
        as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, were committed in a 
        portion of the building under the control of by the tenant or 
        lessee whose lease or tenancy has been canceled pursuant to this 
        section and the tenant or lessee was not committing the acts in 
        conjunction with or under the control of the owner.

        bodily harm to the arrested person, the victim of the alleged 
        crime, or another, or (3) will not reasonably assure the
