on the first or second ground named, may include and have 
considered and determined benefits or damages affecting property 
other than his own.  Notice of such appeal shall be served upon 
the owner or occupant of such other property or upon the 
attorney who represents such owner in the proceedings.  Such 
notice of appeal shall also be served upon the auditor or clerk. 
    (b) To render the appeal effectual, the appellant shall 
file with the auditor or clerk within 30 days after the filing 
of such final order a notice of appeal which shall state the 
particular benefits or damages appealed from and the ground upon 
which the appeal is taken.  Within 30 days after such filing, 
the auditor, in case of a county drainage proceeding, shall 
return and file with the clerk of the district court the 
original notice and appeal bond. 
    (c) The issues raised by the appeal shall stand for trial 
by jury and shall be tried and determined at the next term of 
the district court held within the county in which the 
proceedings were commenced, or in such other county in which the 
appeal shall be heard, beginning after the filing of the appeal; 
and shall take precedence of all other matters of a civil nature 
in court.  If there be more than one appeal triable in one 
county, the court may, on its own motion or upon the motion of a 
party in interest, consolidate two or more appeals and try them 
together, but the rights of the appellants shall be separately 
determined.  If the appellant fails to prevail, the cost of the 
trial shall be paid by the appellant.  In case of appeal as to 
damages or benefits to property situated in the county other 
than the county where the drainage proceedings are pending, and 
if the appellant so requests, the trial shall be held at the 
next term of the district court of the county wherein the lands 
are situated.  In such case, the clerk of the district court 
where the appeal is filed, shall make, certify and file in the 
office of the clerk of the district court of the county where 
the trial is to be had, a transcript of the papers and documents 
on file in his office in the proceedings so far as they pertain 
to the matters on account of which the appeal is taken.  After 
the final determination of such appeal, the clerk of the 
district court where the action is tried, shall certify and 
return the verdict to the district court of the county where the 
proceedings were instituted. 
     (d) The clerk of the district court shall file a certified 
copy of the final determination of any such appeal with the 
auditor of the county affected. 
     (e) An appeal on the third ground may be to the district 
court of any county wherein lands are affected.  Such appeal 
shall be made within 30 days after the order allowing or 
disallowing the claim and shall be governed as far as applicable 
by the provisions of this subdivision.

may appeal to the district court of the county where the 
proceedings are pending from any order made by the county board 
dismissing the petition for any drainage system or establishing 
or refusing to establish any drainage system.  The appellant 
shall serve notice of appeal and give bond as provided in 
subdivision 2.  Upon such appeal being perfected, it may be 
brought on for trial by either party upon ten days notice to the 
other, and shall then be tried by the court without a jury.  The 
court shall examine the whole matter and receive evidence to 
determine whether the findings made by the county board can be 
sustained.  At such trial the findings made by the county board 
shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated, and 
the order of the county board shall be deemed prima facie 
reasonable.  If the court shall find that the order appealed 
from is lawful and reasonable, it shall be affirmed.  If the 
court finds that the order appealed from is arbitrary, unlawful, 
or not supported by the evidence, it shall make such order to 
take the place of the order appealed from as is justified by the 
record before it or remand such matter to the county board for 
further proceeding before the board.  After determination of the 
appeal, the county board shall proceed in conformity therewith.  
    If such appeal be from an order establishing a ditch, the 
trial of any appeals from benefits or damages in the ditch 
proceeding shall be stayed pending the determination of such 
appeal; and, if the order establishing be affirmed, any such 
appeals from benefits or damages shall then stand for trial as 
provided by this section.  If such appeal be from an order 
refusing to establish a ditch, and if the court thereafter by 
order establishes the ditch, the county auditor shall give 
notice by publication of the filing of the order.  Such notice 
shall be sufficient if it refers to the ditch by number or other 
descriptive designation and recites the purport of the order and 
the date of filing in the court.  Any person aggrieved thereby 
may appeal to the district court upon the grounds and as 
provided by subdivisions 1 and 2, and such appeal shall be made 
as required by subdivision 2 within 30 days after the completion 
of publication of notice as herein required.

medical assistance payment rate as follows:  
     (1) The desk audited payment rate in effect on June 30, 
1983, remains in effect until the end of the facility's fiscal 
year.  The commissioner shall not allow any amendments to the 
cost report on which this desk audited payment rate is based.  
     (2) For each fiscal year beginning between July 1, 1983, 
and June 30, 1985, the facility's payment rate shall be 
established by increasing the desk audited operating cost 
payment rate determined in clause (1) at an annual rate of five 
percent.

the facility's payment rate shall be established by increasing 
the facility's payment rate in the facility's prior fiscal year 
by the increase indicated by the consumer price index for 
Minneapolis and St. Paul.

be eligible to receive that proportion of the funds available 
which equals the number of unemployed persons in the service

area in which the unemployment rate, for the 12-month period 
ending the most recent March 31, is less than the statewide 
unemployment rate on that date shall not be allocated according 
to paragraph clause (1).  This amount shall be pooled and

program, relative to the total number of general 
assistance-eligible applicants placed under the program; or

applicants placed in all jobs under the program, relative to 
total job placements under the program.  
     (b) Ten percent of the funds available for allocation to 
employment administrators under the program must be allocated at 
the discretion of the coordinator to employment administrators:

coordination with other programs and state, local, and federal 
agencies, through the use of matching funds or through the 
involvement of low-income constituent groups;  
     (2) who have demonstrated need beyond the allocation 
available under clause (1);  
     (3) who have demonstrated outstanding performance in job 
creation; or 
     (4) who have demonstrated that the unemployed persons in 
the service delivery area incur unusual costs related to 
employment under sections 268.671 to 268.686.

April 30 and July 31 make a determination of the fair market 
value of the operating property of every railroad company doing 
business in this state as of January 2 of the year in which the 
valuation is made.  In making this determination, the 
commissioner shall employ generally accepted appraisal 
principles and practices which may include the unit method of 
determining value.  The commissioner may promulgate emergency 
rules adopting valuation procedures under sections 14.29 to 
14.36.  
    The commissioner shall give a report to the legislature in 
February 1985 and in February 1986 on the formula which he has

$6,000, the entire amount of the tax, penalty, and interest 
assessed by the commissioner shall be paid at the time it is due 
unless permission to continue prosecution of the petition 
without payment is obtained as provided herein.  The 
petitioner appellant, upon ten days notice to the commissioner, 
may apply to the court for permission to continue prosecution of 
the petition appeal without payment; and, if it is made to 
appear 
    (1) that the proposed review is to be taken in good faith;  
    (2) that there is probable cause to believe that the 
taxpayer may be held exempt from the liability or that the 
liability may be determined to be less than 50 percent of the 
amount due; and 
    (3) that it would work a substantial hardship upon 
petitioner appellant to pay the liability, 
    the court may permit the petitioner appellant to continue 
prosecution of the petition appeal without payment, or may fix a 
lesser amount to be paid as a condition of continuing the 
prosecution of the petition appeal.

for a qualifying purpose other than use in motor vehicles, 
snowmobiles, or motorboats, or special fuel for a qualifying 
purpose other than use in licensed motor vehicles, and who shall 
have paid the Minnesota excise tax directly or indirectly 
through the amount of the tax being included in the price of the 
gasoline or special fuel, or otherwise, shall be reimbursed and 
repaid the amount of the tax paid by him upon filing with the 
commissioner a signed claim in writing in the form and 
containing the information the commissioner shall require and 
accompanied by the original invoice thereof.  By signing any 
such claim which is false or fraudulent, the applicant shall be 
subject to the penalties provided in this section for knowingly 
making a false claim.  The claim shall set forth the total 
amount of the gasoline so purchased and used by him other than 
in motor vehicles, or special fuel so purchased and used by him 
other than in licensed motor vehicles, and shall state when and 
for what purpose it was used.  When a claim contains an error in 
computation or preparation, the commissioner is authorized to 
adjust the claim in accordance with the evidence shown on the 
claim or other information available to him.  If the 
commissioner is satisfied that the claimant is entitled to the 
payments, he shall approve the claim and transmit it to the 
commissioner of finance.  No repayment shall be made unless the 
claim and invoice shall be filed with the commissioner within 
one year from the date of the purchase.  The postmark on the 
envelope in which the claim is mailed shall determine the date 
of filing.  The words "gasoline" or "special fuel" as used in

    Sec. 64.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 474.19, 
subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [CARRYOVER ALLOCATION.] If prior to December 20

obligations pursuant to authority allocated to it pursuant to 
this section or section 459.35 474.17 or 462.556 474.18 by the 
end of that year or within the time period permitted by a 
federal limitation act, the issuer may notify the energy and 
economic development authority and such amount will be available 
for reallocation pursuant to this subdivision.  In such case, 
the energy and economic development authority shall refund to 
the issuer within 30 days that portion of any application 
deposit equal to one-third of one percent of the amount returned 
for reallocation.  The amounts available for reallocation shall 
be allocated on or before December 31 of each year among issuers 
which have submitted an application by December 10, and which 
have certified that the project to which the application relates 
qualifies for carryover treatment of allocated authority 
according to the terms of a federal limitation act, such that 
obligations may be issued pursuant to such allocation of 
authority after the end of the year, without expiration of such 
authority.  If there is insufficient authority for allocation 
among applications received pursuant to this subdivision, 
allocation among them shall be made by lot unless otherwise 
agreed by the respective applicants.  
    Sec. 65.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 519.01, is 
amended to read: 
    519.01 [SEPARATE LEGAL EXISTENCE.] 
    Women shall retain the same legal existence and legal 
personality after marriage as before, and every married woman 
shall receive the same protection of all her rights as a woman 
which her husband does as a man, including the right to appeal 
to the courts in her own name alone for protection or redress; 
but this section shall not confer upon the wife a right to vote 
or hold office, except as is otherwise provided by law.  
    Sec. 66.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 525.619, is 
amended to read: 
    525.619 [POWERS AND DUTIES OF GUARDIAN OF MINOR.] 
    A guardian of a minor has the powers and responsibilities 
of a parent who has not been deprived of custody of his minor 
and unemancipated child, except that a guardian is not legally 
obligated to provide from his own funds for the ward.  In 
particular, and without qualifying the foregoing, a guardian has 
the following powers and duties: 
    (a) He must take reasonable care of his ward's personal 
effects and commence protective proceedings if necessary to 
protect other property of the ward. 
    (b) He may receive money payable for the support of the 
ward to the ward's parent, guardian or custodian under the terms 
of any statutory benefit or insurance system, or any private 
contract, devise, trust, conservatorship or custodianship.  He 
also may receive money or property of the ward paid or delivered 
by virtue of section 525.6196.  Any sums so received shall be 
applied to the ward's current needs for support, care and 
education.  He must exercise due care to conserve any excess for 
the ward's future needs unless a conservator has been appointed 
for the estate of the ward, in which case the excess shall be 
paid over at least annually to the conservator.  Sums so 
received by the guardian are not to be used for compensation for 
his services except as approved by order of court or as 
determined by a duly appointed conservator other than the 
guardian.  A guardian may institute proceedings to compel the 
performance by any person of a duty to support the ward or to 
pay sums for the welfare of the ward. 
    (c) The guardian is empowered to facilitate the ward's 
education, social, or other activities and to authorize medical 
or other professional care, treatment or advice.  A ward who is 
less than 16 years of age may be admitted to a treatment 
facility as an informal patient according to section 253B.04 but 
may not be committed to any state institution except pursuant to 
chapter 253B.  No guardian may give consent for psychosurgery, 
electroshock, sterilization or experimental treatment of any 
kind unless the procedure is first approved by the order of the 
court, after a hearing as prescribed by section 525.56, 
subdivision 2 3. 
    A guardian is not liable by reason of his consent for 
injury to the ward resulting from the negligence or acts of 
third persons unless it would have been illegal for a parent to 
have consented, or unless he fails to comply with the 
requirements of this section which provide that a court order is 
necessary for commitment and for certain types of medical 
procedures.  A guardian may consent to the marriage or adoption 
of his ward. 
    (d) A guardian must report the condition of his ward and of 
the ward's estate which has been subject to his possession or 
control, as ordered by the court on its own motion or on 
petition of any person interested in the minor's welfare and as 
required by court rule. 
    Sec. 67.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 571.41, 
subdivision 5b, is amended to read:  
    Subd. 5b.  [DUTY OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION; EXEMPTION; 
OBJECTION.] Upon receipt of the garnishee summons and exemption 
notices, the financial institution shall attach and bind as much 
of the amount due under section 571.471 as the financial 
institution has on deposit owing to the judgment debtor.  Within 
two business days after receipt of the garnishee summons and 
exemption notices, the financial institution shall serve upon 
the judgment debtor two copies of the exemption notice.  The 
financial institution shall serve the notice by first class mail 
to the last known address of the judgment debtor.  If no claim 
of exemption is received by the financial institution within 14 
days after the exemption notices are mailed to the judgment 
debtor, the funds shall remain subject to the garnishment 
summons.  If the judgment debtor elects to claim an exemption, 
he shall complete the exemption notice, affix his signature 
under penalty of perjury, and deliver one copy to the financial 
institution and one copy to the judgment creditor within 14 days 
of the date postmarked on the correspondence mailed to the 
judgment debtor containing the exemption notices.  Failure of 
the judgment debtor to serve the executed exemption notice does 
not constitute a waiver of any right he may have to an 
exemption.  Upon timely receipt of a claim of exemption, funds 
not claimed to be exempt by the judgment debtor shall remain 
subject to the garnishment summons.  All money claimed to be 
exempt shall be released to the judgment debtor upon the 
expiration of seven days after the date postmarked on the 
correspondence containing the executed exemption notice mailed 
to the judgment creditor, or the date of personal delivery of 
the executed exemption notice to the judgment creditor, unless 
within that time the judgment creditor interposes an objection 
to the exemption.  Objection shall be interposed by mailing or 
delivering one copy of the written objection to the financial 
institution and one copy of the written objection to the 
judgment creditor debtor.  Upon receipt of a written objection 
from the judgment creditor within the specified seven-day 
period, the financial institution shall retain the funds claimed 
to be exempt.  Unless the financial institution receives a 
notice of motion and motion from the judgment debtor asserting 
exemption rights within ten days after receipt of the 
written objection to the exemption, the funds shall remain 
subject to the garnishment summons as if no claim of exemption 
has been made.  Either the judgment creditor or the judgment 
debtor may bring a motion to determine the validity of an 
exemption claim by following the procedure set out in 
subdivision 7.  If a notice of motion and motion to determine 
the validity of a claim of exemption is received by the 
financial institution within the period provided, the financial 
institution shall retain the funds claimed to be exempt until 
otherwise ordered by the court, or until the garnishment lapses 
pursuant to section 571.69.  However, at any time during the 
procedure specified in this subdivision, the judgment debtor or 
the judgment creditor may, by a writing dated subsequent to the 
service of the execution, direct the financial institution to 
release the funds in question to the other party.  Upon receipt 
of a release, the financial institution shall release the funds 
as directed.  
    Sec. 68.  [INSTRUCTION TO REVISOR.] 
    In Minnesota Statutes, the revisor of statutes shall 
replace the reference to chapter 16 listed in column B which
