    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 241.67, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [PROGRAMS FOR ADULT OFFENDERS COMMITTED TO THE 
COMMISSIONER.] (a) The commissioner shall provide for a range of 
sex offender treatment programs, including intensive sex 
offender treatment programs, within the state adult correctional 
facility system.  Participation in any treatment program is 
voluntary and is subject to the rules and regulations of the 
department of corrections.  Nothing in this section requires the 
commissioner to accept or retain an offender in a treatment 
program if the offender is determined by prison professionals as 
unamenable to programming within the prison system or if the 
offender refuses or fails to comply with the program's 
requirements.  Nothing in this section creates a right of an 
offender to treatment.  
    (b) The commissioner shall provide for residential and 
outpatient sex offender treatment programming and aftercare when 
required for conditional release under section 609.1352 or as a 
condition of supervised release. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 241.67, 
subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [SPECIALIZED CORRECTIONS AGENTS AND PROBATION 
OFFICERS; SEX OFFENDER SUPERVISION.] By January 1, 1990, The 
commissioner of corrections shall develop in-service training 
for state and local corrections agents and probation officers 
who supervise adult and juvenile sex offenders on probation or 
supervised release.  The commissioner shall make the training 
available to all current and future corrections agents and 
probation officers who supervise or will supervise sex offenders 
on probation or supervised release.  
    After January 1, 1991, A state or local corrections agent 
or probation officer may not supervise adult or juvenile sex 
offenders on probation or supervised release unless the agent or 
officer has completed the in-service sex offender supervision 
training.  The commissioner may waive this requirement if the 
corrections agent or probation officer has completed equivalent 
training as part of a post-secondary educational curriculum.  
    After January 1, 1991, When an adult sex offender is placed 
on supervised release or is sentenced to probationary 
supervision, and when a juvenile offender is found delinquent by 
the juvenile court for a sex offense and placed on probation or 
is paroled from a juvenile correctional facility, a corrections 
agent or probation officer may not be assigned to the offender 
unless the agent or officer has completed the in-service sex 
offender supervision training. 
     Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 1a.  [RELEASE ON CERTAIN DAYS.] Notwithstanding the 
amount of good time earned by an inmate whose crime was 
committed before August 1, 1992, if the inmate's scheduled 
release date occurs on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, 
the inmate's supervised release term shall begin on the last day 
before the inmate's scheduled release date that is not a Friday, 
Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.  For an inmate whose crime was 
committed on or after August 1, 1992, if the inmate's scheduled 
release date occurs on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, 
the inmate's supervised release term shall begin on the first 
day after the inmate's scheduled release date that is not a 
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [SANCTIONS FOR VIOLATION.] If an inmate violates 
the conditions of the inmate's supervised release imposed by the 
commissioner, the commissioner may: 
    (1) continue the inmate's supervised release term, with or 
without modifying or enlarging the conditions imposed on the 
inmate; or 
    (2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison 
the inmate for the appropriate period of time. 
    The period of time for which a supervised release may be 
revoked may not exceed the period of time remaining in the 
inmate's sentence, except that for if a sex offender is 
sentenced and conditionally released under section 609.1352, 
subdivision 5, the period of time for which conditional release 
may be revoked may not exceed the balance of the original 
sentence imposed less good time earned under section 244.04, 
subdivision 1 conditional release term. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [MINIMUM IMPRISONMENT, LIFE SENTENCE.] An inmate 
serving a mandatory life sentence under section 609.184 must not 
be given supervised release under this section.  An inmate 
serving a mandatory life sentence for conviction of murder in 
the first degree under section 609.185, clause (1), (3), (4), 
(5), or (6); or 609.346, subdivision 2a, must not be given 
supervised release under this section without having served a 
minimum term of 30 years.  An inmate serving a mandatory life 
sentence under section 609.385 must not be given supervised 
release under this section without having served a minimum term 
of imprisonment of 17 years. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, 
subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 5.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE, LIFE SENTENCE.] The 
commissioner of corrections may, under rules promulgated by the 
commissioner, give supervised release to an inmate serving a 
mandatory life sentence under section 609.185, clause (1), (3), 
(4), (5), or (6); 609.346, subdivision 2a; or 609.385 after the 
inmate has served the minimum term of imprisonment specified in 
subdivision 4.  
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
244.05, subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [INTENSIVE SUPERVISED RELEASE.] The commissioner 
may order that an inmate be placed on intensive supervised 
release for all or part of the inmate's supervised release or 
parole term if the commissioner determines that the action will 
further the goals described in section 244.14, subdivision 1, 
clauses (2), (3), and (4).  In addition, the commissioner may 
order that an inmate be placed on intensive supervised release 
for all of the inmate's conditional or supervised release term 
if the inmate was convicted of a sex offense under sections 
609.342 to 609.345 or was sentenced under the provisions of 
section 609.1352.  The commissioner may impose appropriate 
conditions of release on the inmate including but not limited to 
unannounced searches of the inmate's person, vehicle, or 
premises by an intensive supervision agent; compliance with 
court-ordered restitution, if any; random drug testing; house 
arrest; daily curfews; frequent face-to-face contacts with an 
assigned intensive supervision agent; work, education, or 
treatment requirements; and electronic surveillance.  In 
addition, any sex offender placed on intensive supervised 
release may be ordered to participate in an appropriate sex 
offender program as a condition of release.  If the inmate 
violates the conditions of the intensive supervised release, the 
commissioner shall impose sanctions as provided in subdivision 3 
and section 609.1352.  
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
244.12, subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [OFFENDERS NOT ELIGIBLE.] The following are not 
eligible to be placed on intensive community supervision, under 
subdivision 2, clause (2): 
    (1) offenders who were committed to the commissioner's 
custody under a statutory mandatory minimum sentence; 
    (2) offenders who were committed to the commissioner's 
custody following a conviction for murder, manslaughter, 
criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree, or 
criminal vehicular homicide or operation resulting in death; and 
    (3) offenders whose presence in the community would present 
a danger to public safety. 
     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.185, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  If the court finds that the child is 
delinquent, it shall enter an order making any of the following 
dispositions of the case which are deemed necessary to the 
rehabilitation of the child: 
    (a) Counsel the child or the parents, guardian, or 
custodian; 
    (b) Place the child under the supervision of a probation 
officer or other suitable person in the child's own home under 
conditions prescribed by the court including reasonable rules 
for the child's conduct and the conduct of the child's parents, 
guardian, or custodian, designed for the physical, mental, and 
moral well-being and behavior of the child, or with the consent 
of the commissioner of corrections, in a group foster care 
facility which is under the management and supervision of said 
commissioner; 
    (c) Subject to the supervision of the court, transfer legal 
custody of the child to one of the following: 
    (1) a child placing agency; or 
    (2) the county welfare board; or 
    (3) a reputable individual of good moral character.  No 
person may receive custody of two or more unrelated children 
unless licensed as a residential facility pursuant to sections 
245A.01 to 245A.16; or 
      (4) a county home school, if the county maintains a home 
school or enters into an agreement with a county home school; or 
      (5) a county probation officer for placement in a group 
foster home established under the direction of the juvenile 
court and licensed pursuant to section 241.021; 
      (d) Transfer legal custody by commitment to the 
commissioner of corrections; 
      (e) If the child is found to have violated a state or local 
law or ordinance which has resulted in damage to the person or 
property of another, the court may order the child to make 
reasonable restitution for such damage; 
      (f) Require the child to pay a fine of up to $700; the 
court shall order payment of the fine in accordance with a time 
payment schedule which shall not impose an undue financial 
hardship on the child; 
      (g) If the child is in need of special treatment and care 
for reasons of physical or mental health, the court may order 
the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to provide it.  If 
the parent, guardian, or custodian fails to provide this 
treatment or care, the court may order it provided; 
      (h) If the court believes that it is in the best interests 
of the child and of public safety that the driver's license of 
the child be canceled until the child's 18th birthday, the court 
may recommend to the commissioner of public safety the 
cancellation of the child's license for any period up to the 
child's 18th birthday, and the commissioner is hereby authorized 
to cancel such license without a hearing.  At any time before 
the termination of the period of cancellation, the court may, 
for good cause, recommend to the commissioner of public safety 
that the child be authorized to apply for a new license, and the 
commissioner may so authorize. 
    If the child is petitioned and found by the court to have 
committed or attempted to commit an act in violation of section 
609.342,; 609.343,; 609.344, or; 609.345,; 609.3451; 
609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23, or another offense 
arising out of a delinquency petition based on one or more of 
those sections, the court shall order an independent 
professional assessment of the child's need for sex offender 
treatment.  An assessor providing an assessment for the court 
may not have any direct or shared financial interest or referral 
relationship resulting in shared financial gain with a treatment 
provider.  If the assessment indicates that the child is in need 
of and amenable to sex offender treatment, the court shall 
include in its disposition order a requirement that the child 
undergo treatment.  Notwithstanding section 13.42, 13.85, 
144.335, 260.161, or 626.556, the assessor has access to the 
following private or confidential data on the child if access is 
relevant and necessary for the assessment: 
    (1) medical data under section 13.42; 
    (2) corrections and detention data under section 13.85; 
    (3) health records under section 144.335; 
    (4) juvenile court records under section 260.161; and 
    (5) local welfare agency records under section 626.556. 
    Data disclosed under this paragraph may be used only for 
purposes of the assessment and may not be further disclosed to 
any other person, except as authorized by law. 
    If the child is found delinquent due to the commission of 
an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult, the 
court shall make a specific finding on the record regarding the 
juvenile's mental health and chemical dependency treatment needs.
    Any order for a disposition authorized under this section 
shall contain written findings of fact to support the 
disposition ordered, and shall also set forth in writing the 
following information: 
    (a) why the best interests of the child are served by the 
disposition ordered; and 
    (b) what alternative dispositions were considered by the 
court and why such dispositions were not appropriate in the 
instant case. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
609.135, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  (a) If the conviction is for a felony the stay 
shall be for not more than three years or the maximum period for 
which the sentence of imprisonment might have been imposed, 
whichever is longer. 
    (b) If the conviction is for a gross misdemeanor the stay 
shall be for not more than two years. 
    (c) If the conviction is for any misdemeanor under section 
169.121; 609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23; or for a 
misdemeanor under section 609.224, subdivision 1, in which the 
victim of the crime was a family or household member as defined 
in section 518B.01, the stay shall be for not more than two 
years.  The court shall provide for unsupervised probation for 
the second year of the stay unless the court finds that the 
defendant needs supervised probation for all or part of the 
second year. 
    (d) If the conviction is for a misdemeanor not specified in 
paragraph (c), the stay shall be for not more than one year.  
    (e) The defendant shall be discharged when the stay 
expires, unless the stay has been revoked or extended under 
paragraph (f), or the defendant has already been discharged. 
    (f) Notwithstanding the maximum periods specified for stays 
of sentences under paragraphs (a) to (e), a court may extend a 
defendant's term of probation for up to one year if it finds, at 
a hearing conducted under subdivision 1a, that: 
    (1) the defendant has not paid court-ordered restitution in 
accordance with the payment schedule or structure; and 
    (2) the defendant is likely to not pay the restitution the 
defendant owes before the term of probation expires.  
This one-year extension of probation for failure to pay 
restitution may be extended by the court for up to one 
additional year if the court finds, at another hearing conducted 
under subdivision 1a, that the defendant still has not paid the 
court-ordered restitution that the defendant owes. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.1352, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [SENTENCING AUTHORITY.] A court may shall 
sentence a person to a term of imprisonment of not less than 
double the presumptive sentence under the sentencing guidelines 
and not more than the statutory maximum, or if the statutory 
maximum is less than double the presumptive sentence, to a term 
of imprisonment equal to the statutory maximum, if: 
    (1) the court is imposing an executed sentence, based on a 
sentencing guidelines presumptive imprisonment sentence or a 
dispositional departure for aggravating circumstances or a 
mandatory minimum sentence, on a person convicted of committing 
or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 
609.344, or 609.345, or on a person convicted of committing or 
attempting to commit any other crime listed in subdivision 2 if 
it reasonably appears to the court that the crime was motivated 
by the offender's sexual impulses or was part of a predatory 
pattern of behavior that had criminal sexual conduct as its 
goal; 
    (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
safety; and 
    (3) the court finds that the offender needs long-term 
treatment or supervision beyond the presumptive term of 
imprisonment and supervised release.  The finding must be based 
on a professional assessment by an examiner experienced in 
evaluating sex offenders that concludes that the offender is a 
patterned sex offender.  The assessment must contain the facts 
upon which the conclusion is based, with reference to the 
offense history of the offender or the severity of the current 
offense, the social history of the offender, and the results of 
an examination of the offender's mental status unless the 
offender refuses to be examined.  The conclusion may not be 
based on testing alone.  A patterned sex offender is one whose 
criminal sexual behavior is so engrained that the risk of 
reoffending is great without intensive psychotherapeutic 
intervention or other long-term controls.

                               SENTENCING 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.01, 
subdivision 8, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 8.  "Term of imprisonment," as applied to inmates 
whose crimes were committed before August 1, 1993, is the period 
of time to which an inmate is committed to the custody of the 
commissioner of corrections minus earned good time.  "Term of 
imprisonment," as applied to inmates whose crimes were committed 
on or after August 1, 1993, is the period of time which an 
inmate is ordered to serve in prison by the sentencing court, 
plus any disciplinary confinement period imposed by the 
commissioner under section 244.05, subdivision 1b. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.03, is 
amended to read: 
    244.03 [VOLUNTARY REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS.] 
    The commissioner shall provide appropriate mental health 
programs and vocational and educational programs with 
employment-related goals for inmates who desire to voluntarily 
participate in such programs and for inmates who are required to 
participate in the programs under the disciplinary offense rules 
adopted by the commissioner under section 244.05, subdivision 
1b.  The selection, design and implementation of programs under 
this section shall be the sole responsibility of the 
commissioner, acting within the limitations imposed by the funds 
appropriated for such programs. 
    No action challenging the level of expenditures for 
programs authorized under this section, nor any action 
challenging the selection, design or implementation of these 
programs, may be maintained by an inmate in any court in this 
state. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.04, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [REDUCTION OF SENTENCE.] Notwithstanding 
the provisions of section 609.11, subdivision 6, and section 
609.346, subdivision 1, the term of imprisonment of any inmate 
sentenced to a presumptive fixed sentence after May 1, 1980, and 
whose crime was committed before August 1, 1993, shall be 
reduced in duration by one day for each two days during which 
the inmate violates none of the disciplinary offense rules 
promulgated by the commissioner.  The reduction shall accrue to 
the period of supervised release to be served by the inmate, 
except that the period of supervised release for a sex offender 
sentenced and conditionally released by the commissioner under 
section 609.1352, subdivision 5, is governed by that provision. 
    Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 2, if an inmate 
whose crime was committed before August 1, 1993, violates a 
disciplinary offense rule promulgated by the commissioner, good 
time earned prior to the violation may not be taken away, but 
the inmate may be required to serve an appropriate portion of 
the term of imprisonment after the violation without earning 
good time. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.04, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  The provisions of this section do not apply to an 
inmate serving a mandatory life sentence or to persons whose 
crimes were committed on or after August 1, 1993. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE REQUIRED.] Except as 
provided in subdivisions 1b, 4, and 5, every inmate shall serve 
a supervised release term upon completion of the inmate's term 
of imprisonment as reduced by any good time earned by the inmate 
or extended by confinement in punitive segregation pursuant to 
section 244.04, subdivision 2.  Except for a sex offender 
conditionally released under section 609.1352, subdivision 5, 
the supervised release term shall be equal to the period of good 
time the inmate has earned, and shall not exceed the length of 
time remaining in the inmate's sentence. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 1b.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE; OFFENDERS WHO COMMIT CRIMES 
ON OR AFTER AUGUST 1, 1993.] (a) Except as provided in 
subdivisions 4 and 5, every inmate sentenced to prison for a 
felony offense committed on or after August 1, 1993, shall serve 
a supervised release term upon completion of the term of 
imprisonment pronounced by the sentencing court under section 7 
and any disciplinary confinement period imposed by the 
commissioner due to the inmate's violation of any disciplinary 
offense rule adopted by the commissioner under paragraph (b).  
The supervised release term shall be equal in length to the 
amount of time remaining in the inmate's imposed sentence after 
the inmate has served the pronounced term of imprisonment and 
any disciplinary confinement period imposed by the commissioner. 
    (b) By August 1, 1993, the commissioner shall modify the 
commissioner's existing disciplinary rules to specify 
disciplinary offenses which may result in imposition of a 
disciplinary confinement period and the length of the 
disciplinary confinement period for each disciplinary offense.  
These disciplinary offense rules may cover violation of 
institution rules, refusal to work, refusal to participate in 
treatment or other rehabilitative programs, and other matters 
determined by the commissioner.  No inmate who violates a 
disciplinary rule shall be placed on supervised release until 
the inmate has served the disciplinary confinement period or 
until the inmate is discharged or released from punitive 
segregation confinement, whichever is later.  The imposition of 
a disciplinary confinement period shall be considered to be a 
disciplinary sanction imposed upon an inmate, and the procedure 
for imposing the disciplinary confinement period and the rights 
of the inmate in the procedure shall be those in effect for the 
imposition of other disciplinary sanctions at each state 
correctional institution. 
    Sec. 7.  [244.101] [SENTENCING OF FELONY OFFENDERS WHO 
COMMIT OFFENSES ON AND AFTER AUGUST 1, 1993.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [SENTENCING AUTHORITY.] When a felony 
offender is sentenced to a fixed executed prison sentence for an 
offense committed on or after August 1, 1993, the sentence 
pronounced by the court shall consist of two parts:  (1) a 
specified minimum term of imprisonment; and (2) a specified 
maximum supervised release term that is one-half of the minimum 
term of imprisonment.  The lengths of the term of imprisonment 
and the supervised release term actually served by an inmate are 
subject to the provisions of section 244.05, subdivision 1b. 
    Subd. 2.  [EXPLANATION OF SENTENCE.] When a court 
pronounces sentence under this section, it shall specify the 
amount of time the defendant will serve in prison and the amount 
of time the defendant will serve on supervised release, assuming 
the defendant commits no disciplinary offense in prison that may 
result in the imposition of a disciplinary confinement period. 
The court shall also explain that the defendant's term of 
imprisonment may be extended by the commissioner if the 
defendant commits any disciplinary offenses in prison and that 
this extension could result in the defendant's serving the 
entire pronounced sentence in prison.  The court's explanation 
shall be included in the sentencing order. 
    Subd. 3.  [NO RIGHT TO SUPERVISED RELEASE.] Notwithstanding 
the court's specification of the potential length of a 
defendant's supervised release term in the sentencing order, the 
court's order creates no right of a defendant to any specific, 
minimum length of a supervised release term. 
    Subd. 4.  [APPLICATION OF STATUTORY MANDATORY MINIMUM 
SENTENCES.] If the defendant is convicted of any offense for 
which a statute imposes a mandatory minimum sentence or term of 
imprisonment, the statutory mandatory minimum sentence or term 
governs the length of the entire sentence pronounced by the 
court under this section. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.15, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [LIMIT ON TERMS; MISDEMEANOR AND GROSS 
MISDEMEANOR.] If the court specifies that the sentence shall run 
consecutively, the total of the terms of imprisonment imposed, 
other than a term of imprisonment for life, shall not exceed 40 
years.  If and all of the sentences are for misdemeanors, the 
total of the terms of imprisonment shall not exceed one year;.  
If all of the sentences are for gross misdemeanors, the total of 
such the terms shall not exceed three years. 
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.152, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [INCREASED SENTENCES; DANGEROUS OFFENDERS.] 
Whenever a person is convicted of a violent crime, and the judge 
is imposing an executed sentence based on a sentencing 
guidelines presumptive imprisonment sentence, the judge may 
impose an aggravated durational departure from the presumptive 
imprisonment sentence up to the statutory maximum sentence if 
the offender was at least 18 years old at the time the felony 
was committed, and: 
    (1) the court determines on the record at the time of 
sentencing that the offender has two or more prior convictions 
for violent crimes; and 
    (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
safety and specifies on the record the basis for the finding, 
which may include: 
    (i) the offender's past criminal behavior, such as the 
offender's high frequency rate of criminal activity or juvenile 
adjudications, or long involvement in criminal activity 
including juvenile adjudications; or 
    (ii) the fact that the present offense of conviction 
involved an aggravating factor that would justify a durational 
departure under the sentencing guidelines. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.152, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [INCREASED SENTENCES; CAREER OFFENDERS.] Whenever 
a person is convicted of a felony, and the judge is imposing an 
executed sentence based on a sentencing guidelines presumptive 
imprisonment sentence, the judge may impose an aggravated 
durational departure from the presumptive sentence up to the 
statutory maximum sentence if the judge finds and specifies on 
the record that the offender has more than four prior felony 
convictions and that the present offense is a felony that was 
committed as part of a pattern of criminal conduct from which a 
substantial portion of the offender's income was derived. 
    Sec. 11.  [TASK FORCE ON NEW FELONY SENTENCING SYSTEM.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [MEMBERSHIP.] A task force is established 
to study the implementation of the new felony sentencing system 
provided in this article.  The task force consists of the 
following members or their designees: 
    (1) the chair of the sentencing guidelines commission; 
    (2) the commissioner of corrections; 
    (3) the state court administrator; 
    (4) the chair of the house judiciary committee; and 
    (5) the chair of the senate judiciary committee. 
    The task force shall select a chair from among its 
membership. 
    Subd. 2.  [DUTIES.] The task force shall study the new 
felony sentencing system provisions contained in this article.  
Based on this study, the task force shall: 
    (1) determine whether the current sentencing guidelines and 
sentencing guidelines grid need to be changed in order to 
implement the new sentencing provisions; and 
    (2) determine whether any legislative changes to the 
provisions are needed to permit their effective implementation. 
    Subd. 3.  [REPORT.] The task force shall report the results 
of its study to the legislature by February 15, 1993.  The 
report shall include the task force's recommendations, if any, 
for changing the law or the sentencing guidelines in order to 
effectively implement the new felony sentencing system. 
    Sec. 12.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINES COMMISSION; STUDY.] 
    The sentencing guidelines commission shall study the 
following issues and report its findings and conclusions to the 
chairs of the house and senate judiciary committees by February 
1, 1993: 
    (1) whether the crime of first degree criminal sexual 
conduct should be ranked, in whole or in part, in the next 
higher severity level of the sentencing guidelines grid; 
    (2) whether the current presumptive sentence for the crime 
of second degree intentional murder is adequately proportional 
to the mandatory life imprisonment penalty provided for first 
degree murder; and 
    (3) whether the sentencing guidelines should provide a 
presumption in favor of consecutive sentences for persons who 
are convicted of multiple crimes against a person in separate 
behavioral incidents. 
    Sec. 13.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINES MODIFICATION.] 
    The sentencing guidelines commission shall modify the 
sentencing guidelines to provide that if an inmate of a state 
correctional facility is convicted of committing a felony at the 
facility, it is presumed that the sentence imposed for the 
current felony will run consecutively to the sentence for which 
the inmate was confined when the felony was committed.  The 
commission shall also modify the sentencing guidelines to 
provide that the judge may depart from this presumption and 
impose a concurrent sentence based on evidence that the 
defendant has provided substantial and material assistance in 
the detection or prosecution of crime. 
    Sec. 14.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Sections 1 to 7 are effective August 1, 1993, and apply to 
crimes committed on or after that date.  Sections 8 to 10 are 
effective August 1, 1992, and apply to crimes committed on or 
after that date.

all other courts of the state whenever, in the attorney 
general's opinion, the interests of the state require it.  Upon 
request of the county attorney, the attorney general shall 
appear in court in such criminal cases as the attorney general 
deems proper.  Upon request of a county attorney, the attorney 
general may assume the duties of the county attorney in 
psychopathic personality commitment proceedings under section 
526.10.  Whenever the governor shall so request, in writing, the 
attorney general shall prosecute any person charged with an 
indictable offense, and in all such cases may attend upon the 
grand jury and exercise the powers of a county attorney. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 8.15, 
is amended to read: 
    8.15 [ATTORNEY GENERAL COSTS.] 
    The attorney general in consultation with the commissioner 
of finance shall assess executive branch agencies a fee for 
legal services rendered to them.  The assessment against 
appropriations from other than the general fund must be the full 
cost of providing the services.  The assessment against 
appropriations supported by fees must be included in the fee 
calculation.  The assessment against appropriations from the 
general fund not supported by fees must be one-half of the cost 
of providing the services.  An amount equal to the general fund 
receipts in the even-numbered year of the biennium is 
appropriated to the attorney general for each year of the 
succeeding biennium.  All other receipts from assessments must 
be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the general 
fund. 
    The attorney general in consultation with the commissioner 
of finance shall assess political subdivisions fees to cover 
half the cost of legal services rendered to them; except that 
the attorney general may not assess a county any fee for legal 
services rendered in connection with a psychopathic personality 
commitment proceeding under section 526.10 for which the 
attorney general assumes responsibility under section 8.01. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 244.05, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [SEX OFFENDERS; CIVIL COMMITMENT DETERMINATION.] 
Before the commissioner releases from prison any inmate 
convicted under sections 609.342 to 609.345 or sentenced as a 
patterned offender under section 609.1352, and determined by the 
commissioner to be in a high risk category, the commissioner 
shall make a preliminary determination whether, in the 
commissioner's opinion, a petition under section 526.10 may be 
appropriate.  If the commissioner determines that a petition may 
be appropriate, the commissioner shall forward this 
determination, along with a summary of the reasons for the 
determination, to the county attorney in the county where the 
inmate was convicted no later than six months before the 
inmate's release date.  Upon receiving the commissioner's 
preliminary determination, the county attorney shall proceed in 
the manner provided in section 526.10.  The commissioner shall 
release to the county attorney all requested documentation 
maintained by the department. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 253B.18, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [REVIEW; HEARING.] A written treatment report 
shall be filed with the committing court within 60 days after 
commitment.  If the person is in the custody of the commissioner 
of corrections when the initial commitment is ordered under 
subdivision 1, the written treatment report must be filed within 
60 days after the person is admitted to the Minnesota security 
hospital or a private hospital receiving the person.  The court, 
prior to making a final determination with regard to a person 
initially committed as mentally ill and dangerous to the public, 
shall hold a hearing.  The hearing shall be held within the 
earlier of 14 days of the court's receipt of the written 
treatment report, if one is filed, or within 90 days of the date 
of initial commitment or admission, whichever is earlier, unless 
otherwise agreed by the parties.  If the court finds that the 
patient qualifies for commitment as mentally ill, but not as 
mentally ill and dangerous to the public, the court may commit 
the person as a mentally ill person and the person shall be 
deemed not to have been found to be dangerous to the public for 
the purposes of subdivisions 4 to 15.  Failure of the treatment 
facility to provide the required report at the end of the 60-day 
period shall not result in automatic discharge of the patient.  
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 526.10, is 
amended to read: 
    526.10 [LAWS RELATING TO MENTALLY ILL PERSONS DANGEROUS TO 
THE PUBLIC TO APPLY TO PSYCHOPATHIC PERSONALITIES; TRANSFER OR 
COMMITMENT TO CORRECTIONS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [PROCEDURE.] Except as otherwise provided 
in this section or in chapter 253B, the provisions of chapter 
253B, pertaining to persons mentally ill and dangerous to the 
public shall apply with like force and effect to persons having 
a psychopathic personality, to persons alleged to have such 
personality, and to persons found to have such personality, 
respectively.  Before such proceedings are instituted, the facts 
shall first be submitted to the county attorney, who, if 
satisfied that good cause exists therefor, shall prepare the 
petition to be executed by a person having knowledge of the 
facts and file the same with the judge of the probate court of 
the county in which the "patient," as defined in such statutes, 
has a settlement or is present.  If the patient is in the 
custody of the commissioner of corrections, the petition may be 
filed in the county where the conviction for which the person is 
incarcerated was entered.  The judge of probate shall thereupon 
follow the same procedures set forth in chapter 253B, for 
judicial commitment.  The judge may exclude the general public 
from attendance at such hearing.  If, upon completion of the 
hearing and consideration of the record, the court finds the 
proposed patient has a psychopathic personality, the court shall 
commit such person to a public hospital or a private hospital 
consenting to receive the person, subject to a mandatory review 
by the head of the hospital within 60 days from the date of the 
order as provided for in chapter 253B for persons found to be 
mentally ill and dangerous to the public.  The patient shall 
thereupon be entitled to all of the rights provided for in 
chapter 253B, for persons found to be mentally ill and dangerous 
to the public, and all of the procedures provided for in chapter 
253B, for persons found to be mentally ill and dangerous to the 
public shall apply to such patient except as otherwise provided 
in subdivision 2. 
    Subd. 2.  [TRANSFER TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.] Unless the 
provisions of section 609.1351 apply, (a) If a person has been 
committed under this section and also has been later is 
committed to the custody of the commissioner of corrections, the 
person may be transferred from a hospital to another facility 
designated by the commissioner of corrections as provided in 
section 253B.18; except that the special review board and the 
commissioner of human services may consider the following 
factors in lieu of the factors listed in section 253B.18, 
subdivision 6, to determine whether a transfer to the 
commissioner of corrections is appropriate: 
    (1) the person's unamenability to treatment; 
    (2) the person's unwillingness or failure to follow 
treatment recommendations; 
    (3) the person's lack of progress in treatment at the 
public or private hospital; 
     (4) the danger posed by the person to other patients or 
staff at the public or private hospital; and 
     (5) the degree of security necessary to protect the public. 
    (b) If a person is committed under this section after a 
commitment to the commissioner of corrections, the person shall 
first serve the sentence in a facility designated by the 
commissioner of corrections.  After the person has served the 
sentence, the person shall be transferred to a regional center 
designated by the commissioner of human services. 
    Sec. 6.  [526.115] [STATEWIDE JUDICIAL PANEL; PSYCHOPATHIC 
PERSONALITY COMMITMENTS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [CREATION.] The supreme court may establish 
a panel of district judges with statewide authority to preside 
over commitment proceedings brought under section 526.10.  Only 
one judge of the panel is required to preside over a particular 
commitment proceeding.  Panel members shall serve for one-year 
terms.  One of the judges shall be designated as the chief judge 
of the panel, and is vested with the power to designate the 
presiding judge in a particular case, to set the proper venue 
for the proceedings, and to otherwise supervise and direct the 
operation of the panel.  The chief judge shall designate one of 
the other judges to act as chief judge whenever the chief judge 
is unable to act. 
    Subd. 2.  [EFFECT OF CREATION OF PANEL.] If the supreme 
court creates the judicial panel authorized by this section, all 
petitions for civil commitment brought under section 526.10 
shall be filed with the supreme court instead of with the 
probate court in the county where the proposed patient is 
present, notwithstanding any provision of section 526.10 to the 
contrary.  Otherwise, all of the other applicable procedures 
contained in section 526.10 and chapter 253B apply to commitment 
proceedings conducted by a judge on the panel. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.1351, is 
amended to read: 
    609.1351 [PETITION FOR CIVIL COMMITMENT.] 
    When a court sentences a person under section 609.1352, 
609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, the court shall make a 
preliminary determination whether in the court's opinion a 
petition under section 526.10 may be appropriate and include the 
determination as part of the sentencing order.  If the court 
determines that a petition may be appropriate, the court shall 
forward its preliminary determination along with supporting

    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 135A.15, is

incidents occurring on property owned by the post-secondary 
system or institution in which the victim is a student or 
employee of that system or institution.  It must include 
procedures for reporting incidents of sexual harassment or 
sexual violence and for disciplinary actions against violators.  
During student registration, each public post-secondary 
institution shall technical college, community college, or state

to, provide each student with information regarding its policy.  
A copy of the policy also shall be posted at appropriate 
locations on campus at all times.  Each private post-secondary 
institution that enrolls students who receive state financial 
aid must adopt a policy that meets the requirements of this 
section.  The higher education coordinating board shall 
coordinate the policy development of the systems and 
institutions and periodically provide for review and necessary 
changes in the policies. 
     Subd. 2.  [VICTIMS' RIGHTS.] The policy required under 
subdivision 1 shall, at a minimum, require that students and 
employees be informed of the policy, and shall include 
provisions for: 
    (1) filing criminal charges with local law enforcement

    (2) the prompt assistance of campus authorities, at the 
request of the victim, in notifying the appropriate law 
enforcement officials and disciplinary authorities of a sexual 
assault incident;

complaint by campus disciplinary authorities; 
    (4) a sexual assault victim's participation in and the 
presence of the victim's attorney or other support person at any 
campus disciplinary proceeding concerning a sexual assault 
complaint;

campus disciplinary proceeding concerning a sexual assault 
complaint, consistent with laws relating to data practices; 
    (6) the complete and prompt assistance of campus 
authorities, at the direction of law enforcement authorities, in 
obtaining, securing, and maintaining evidence in connection with 
a sexual assault incident; 
    (7) the assistance of campus authorities in preserving for 
a sexual assault complainant or victim materials relevant to a 
campus disciplinary proceeding; and 
    (8) the assistance of campus personnel, in cooperation with 
the appropriate law enforcement authorities, at a sexual assault 
victim's request, in shielding the victim from unwanted contact

alternative classes or to alternative college-owned housing, if 
alternative classes or housing are available and feasible.  
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.155, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 1b.  [RIGHT OF ALLEGED VICTIM TO PRESENCE OF 
SUPPORTIVE PERSON.] Notwithstanding any provision of subdivision 
1 to the contrary, in any delinquency proceedings in which the 
alleged victim of the delinquent act is testifying in court, the 
victim may choose to have a supportive person who is not 
scheduled to be a witness in the proceedings, present during the 
testimony of the victim. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 595.02, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [COURT ORDER.] (a) In a proceeding in which a 
child less than ten 12 years of age is alleging, denying, or 
describing: 
    (1) an act of physical abuse or an act of sexual contact or 
penetration performed with or on the child or any other person 
by another; or 
    (2) an act that constitutes a crime of violence committed 
against the child or any other person, the court may, upon its 
own motion or upon the motion of any party, order that the 
testimony of the child be taken in a room other than the 
courtroom or in the courtroom and televised at the same time by 
closed-circuit equipment, or recorded for later showing to be 
viewed by the jury in the proceeding, to minimize the trauma to 
the child of testifying in the courtroom setting and, where 
necessary, to provide a setting more amenable to securing the 
child witness's uninhibited, truthful testimony.  
    (b) At the taking of testimony under this subdivision, only 
the judge, the attorneys for the defendant and for the state, 
any person whose presence would contribute to the welfare and 
well-being of the child, persons necessary to operate the 
recording or closed-circuit equipment and, in a child protection 
proceeding under chapter 260 or a dissolution or custody 
proceeding under chapter 518, the attorneys for those parties 
with a right to participate may be present with the child during 
the child's testimony.  
    (c) The court shall permit the defendant in a criminal or 
delinquency matter to observe and hear the testimony of the 
child in person.  If the court, upon its own motion or the 
motion of any party, determines finds in a hearing conducted 
outside the presence of the jury, that the presence of the 
defendant during testimony taken pursuant to this subdivision 
would psychologically traumatize the witness so as to render the 
witness unavailable to testify, the court may order that the 
testimony be taken in a manner that:  
    (1) the defendant can see and hear the testimony of the 
child in person and communicate with counsel, but the child 
cannot see or hear the defendant; or 
    (2) the defendant and child can view each other can see and 
hear the testimony of the child by video or television monitor 
from a separate rooms room and communicate with counsel, but the 
child cannot see or hear the defendant.

the meaning given it in section 624.712, subdivision 5, and 
includes violations of section 609.26. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 611A.03,

Prior to the entry of the factual basis for a plea pursuant to a 
plea agreement recommendation, a prosecuting attorney shall make 
a reasonable and good faith effort to inform the victim of: 
    (a) The contents of the plea agreement recommendation, 
including the amount of time recommended for the defendant to 
serve in jail or prison if the court accepts the agreement; and 
    (b) The right to be present at the sentencing hearing and 
to express orally or in writing, at the victim's option, any 
objection to the agreement or to the proposed disposition.  If 
the victim is not present when the court considers the 
recommendation, but has communicated objections to the 
prosecuting attorney, the prosecuting attorney shall make these 
objections known to the court. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 611A.034, is 
amended to read: 
    611A.034 [SEPARATE WAITING AREAS IN COURTHOUSE.] 
    The court shall provide a waiting area for victims during 
court proceedings which is separate from the waiting area used 
by the defendant, the defendant's relatives, and defense 
witnesses, if such a waiting area is available and its use is 
practical.  If a separate waiting area for victims is not 
available or practical, the court shall provide other safeguards 
to minimize the victim's contact with the defendant, the 
defendant's relatives, and defense witnesses during court 
proceedings, such as increased bailiff surveillance and victim 
escorts. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 611A.04, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [REQUEST; DECISION.] (a) A victim of a 
crime has the right to request that receive restitution be 
considered as part of the disposition of a criminal charge or 
juvenile delinquency proceeding against the offender if the 
offender is convicted or found delinquent.  The request for 
restitution shall be made by the victim in writing in affidavit 
form.  The request court, or a person or agency designated by 
the court, shall request information from the victim to 
determine the amount of restitution owed.  The court or its 
designee shall obtain the information from the victim in 
affidavit form.  Information submitted relating to restitution 
must describe the items or elements of loss, itemize the total 
dollar amounts of restitution claimed, and specify the reasons 
justifying these amounts, if the request is for monetary 
restitution is in the form of money or property restitution.  A 
request for restitution may include, but is not limited to, any 
out-of-pocket losses resulting from the crime, including medical 
and therapy costs, replacement of wages and services, and 
funeral expenses.  In order to be considered by the court, the 
request at the sentencing or dispositional hearing, all 
information regarding restitution must be received by the court 
administrator of the appropriate court at least three business 
days before the sentencing or dispositional hearing.  The court 
administrator shall provide copies of this request to the 
prosecutor and the offender at least 24 hours before the 
sentencing or dispositional hearing and must also be provided to 
the offender at least three business days before the sentencing 
or dispositional hearing.  If the victim's noncooperation 
prevents the court or its designee from obtaining competent 
evidence regarding restitution, the court is not obligated to 
consider information regarding restitution in the sentencing or 
dispositional hearing.  At the sentencing or dispositional 
hearing, the court shall give the offender an opportunity to 
respond to specific items of restitution and their dollar 
amounts.  
    (b) The court may amend or issue an order of restitution 
after the sentencing or dispositional hearing if: 
    (1) the offender is on probation or supervised release; 
    (2) a request for information regarding restitution is 
filed by the victim or prosecutor in affidavit form was 
submitted as required under paragraph (a); and 
    (3) the true extent of the victim's loss was not known at 
the time of the sentencing or dispositional hearing. 
    If the court holds a hearing on the restitution request, 
the court must notify the offender, the offender's attorney, the 
victim, and the prosecutor at least five business days before 
the hearing.  The court's restitution decision is governed by 
this section and section 611A.045. 
    (c) The court shall grant or deny restitution or partial 
restitution and shall state on the record its reasons for its 
decision on restitution if a request for restitution has been 
made information relating to restitution has been presented.  If 
the court grants partial restitution it shall also specify the 
full amount of restitution that may be docketed as a civil 
judgment under subdivision 3.  The court may not require that 
the victim waive or otherwise forfeit any rights or causes of 
action as a condition of granting restitution or partial 
restitution. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 611A.04, 
subdivision 1a, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 1a.  [CRIME BOARD REQUEST.] The crime victims 
reparations board may request restitution on behalf of a victim 
by filing a copy of a claim for reparations submitted under 
sections 611A.52 to 611A.67, along with orders of the board, if 
any, which detail any amounts paid by the board to the victim.  
The board may file the claim with the court administrator or 
with the person or agency the court has designated to obtain 
information relating to restitution.  In either event, the board 
shall submit the claim not less than three business days before 
the sentencing or dispositional hearing.  If the board submits 
the claim directly to the court administrator, it shall also 
provide a copy to the offender.  The filing of a claim for 
reparations with the court administrator shall also serve as a 
request for restitution by the victim.  The restitution 
requested by the board may be considered to be both on its own 
behalf and on behalf of the victim.  If the board has not paid 
reparations to the victim, restitution may be made directly to 
the victim.  If the board has paid reparations to the victim, 
the court shall order restitution payments to be made directly 
to the board. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 611A.52, 
subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [CRIME.] (a) "Crime" means conduct that:  
    (1) occurs or is attempted anywhere within the geographical 
boundaries of this state, including Indian reservations and 
other trust lands; 
    (2) poses a substantial threat of personal injury or death; 
and 
    (3) is included within the definition of "crime" in section 
609.02, subdivision 1, or would be included within that 
definition but for the fact that (i) the person engaging in the 
conduct lacked capacity to commit the crime under the laws of 
this state; or (ii) the act was alleged or found to have been 
committed by a juvenile.  
    (b) A crime occurs whether or not any person is prosecuted

in the immediate act of fleeing the scene of a crime in which 
the driver knowingly and willingly participated. 
    Sec. 9.  [611A.76] [CRIME VICTIM SERVICES TELEPHONE LINE.]

one statewide toll-free 24-hour telephone line for the purpose 
of providing crime victims with referrals for victim services

    Sec. 10.  [611A.77] [MEDIATION PROGRAMS FOR CRIME VICTIMS 
AND OFFENDERS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [GRANTS.] The state court administrator 
shall award grants to nonprofit organizations to create or 
expand mediation programs for crime victims and offenders.  For 
purposes of this section, "offender" means an adult charged with 
a nonviolent crime or a juvenile with respect to whom a petition 
for delinquency has been filed in connection with a nonviolent 
offense, and "nonviolent crime" and "nonviolent offense" exclude 
any offense in which the victim is a family or household member,

    Subd. 2.  [PROGRAMS.] The state court administrator shall 
award grants to further the following goals: 
    (1) to expand existing mediation programs for crime victims 
and juvenile offenders to also include adult offenders; 
    (2) to initiate victim-offender mediation programs in areas 
that have no victim-offender mediation programs; 
    (3) to expand the opportunities for crime victims to be 
involved in the criminal justice process; 
    (4) to evaluate the effectiveness of victim-offender 
mediation programs in reducing recidivism and encouraging the 
payment of court-ordered restitution; and 
    (5) to evaluate the satisfaction of victims who participate 
in the mediation programs. 
    Subd. 3.  [MEDIATOR QUALIFICATIONS.] The state court 
administrator shall establish criteria to ensure that mediators 
participating in the program are qualified. 
    Subd. 4.  [MATCH REQUIRED.] A nonprofit organization may 
not receive a grant under this section unless the group has

                     DOMESTIC ABUSE AND HARASSMENT 
    Section 1.  [480.30] [JUDICIAL TRAINING ON DOMESTIC ABUSE.] 
    The supreme court's judicial education program on domestic 
abuse must include ongoing training for district court judges on 
domestic abuse laws and related civil and criminal court 
issues.  The program must include education on the causes of 
family violence and culturally responsive approaches to serving 
victims.  The program must emphasize the need for the 
coordination of court and legal victim advocacy services and 
include education on domestic abuse programs and policies within 
law enforcement agencies and prosecuting authorities as well as 
the court system. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
518B.01, subdivision 3a, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3a.  [FILING FEE.] The filing fees for an order for 
protection under this section are waived for the 
petitioner.  The court administrator and the sheriff of any 
county in this state shall perform their duties relating to 
service of process without charge to the petitioner.  The court 
shall also direct payment of the reasonable costs of service of 
process in the manner provided in section 563.01, whether served 
by a sheriff, if served by a private process server, when the 
sheriff is unavailable or if service is made by publication, 
without requiring the petitioner to make application under 
section 563.01.  The court may direct a respondent to pay to the 
court administrator the petitioner's filing fees and reasonable 
costs of service of process if the court determines that the 
respondent has the ability to pay the petitioner's fees and 
costs. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
518B.01, subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [ORDER FOR PROTECTION.] There shall exist an 
action known as a petition for an order for protection in cases 
of domestic abuse.  
    (a) A petition for relief under this section may be made by 
any family or household member personally or on behalf of minor 
family or household members.  
    (b) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of 
domestic abuse, and shall be accompanied by an affidavit made 
under oath stating the specific facts and circumstances from 
which relief is sought.  
    (c) A petition for relief must state whether there is an 
existing order for protection in effect under this chapter 
governing both the parties and whether there is a pending 
lawsuit, complaint, petition or other action between the parties 
under chapter 257, 518, 518A, 518B, or 518C.  The clerk of court 
shall verify the terms of any existing order governing the 
parties.  The court may not delay granting relief because of the 
existence of a pending action between the parties or the 
necessity of verifying the terms of an existing order.  A 
subsequent order in a separate action under this chapter may 
modify only the provision of an existing order that grants 
relief authorized under subdivision 6, paragraph (a), clause 
(1).  A petition for relief may be granted, regardless of 
whether there is a pending action between the parties.  
     (d) The court shall provide simplified forms and clerical 
assistance to help with the writing and filing of a petition 
under this section.  
     (e) The court shall advise a petitioner under clause (d) of 
the right to file a motion and affidavit and to sue in forma 
pauperis pursuant to section 563.01 and shall assist with the 
writing and filing of the motion and affidavit.  
     (f) The court shall advise a petitioner under clause (d) of 
the right to serve the respondent by published notice under 
subdivision 5, paragraph (b), if the respondent is avoiding 
personal service by concealment or otherwise, and shall assist 
with the writing and filing of the affidavit. 
    (g) The court shall advise the petitioner of the right to 
seek restitution under the petition for relief. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
518B.01, subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 6.  [RELIEF BY THE COURT.] (a) Upon notice and 
hearing, the court may provide relief as follows: 
    (1) restrain the abusing party from committing acts of 
domestic abuse; 
    (2) exclude the abusing party from the dwelling which the 
parties share or from the residence of the petitioner; 
    (3) award temporary custody or establish temporary 
visitation with regard to minor children of the parties on a 
basis which gives primary consideration to the safety of the 
victim and the children.  Except for cases in which custody is 
contested, findings under section 257.025, 518.17, or 518.175 
are not required.  If the court finds that the safety of the 
victim or the children will be jeopardized by unsupervised or 
unrestricted visitation, the court shall condition or restrict 
visitation as to time, place, duration, or supervision, or deny 
visitation entirely, as needed to guard the safety of the victim 
and the children.  The court's deliberation under this 
subdivision decision on custody and visitation shall in no way 
delay the issuance of an order for protection granting other 
reliefs provided for in Laws 1985, chapter 195 this section; 
    (4) on the same basis as is provided in chapter 518, 
establish temporary support for minor children or a spouse, and 
order the withholding of support from the income of the person 
obligated to pay the support according to chapter 518; 
    (5) provide upon request of the petitioner counseling or 
other social services for the parties, if married, or if there 
are minor children; 
    (6) order the abusing party to participate in treatment or 
counseling services; 
    (7) award temporary use and possession of property and 
restrain one or both parties from transferring, encumbering, 
concealing, or disposing of property except in the usual course 
of business or for the necessities of life, and to account to 
the court for all such transfers, encumbrances, dispositions, 
and expenditures made after the order is served or communicated 
to the party restrained in open court; 
    (8) exclude the abusing party from the place of employment 
of the petitioner, or otherwise limit access to the petitioner 
by the abusing party at the petitioner's place of employment; 
and 
    (9) order the abusing party to pay restitution to the 
petitioner; and 
    (10) order, in its discretion, other relief as it deems 
necessary for the protection of a family or household member, 
including orders or directives to the sheriff or constable, as 
provided by this section. 
    (b) Any relief granted by the order for protection shall be 
for a fixed period not to exceed one year, except when the court 
determines a longer fixed period is appropriate.  
    (c) An order granting the relief authorized in paragraph 
(a), clause (1), may not be vacated or modified in a proceeding 
for dissolution of marriage or legal separation, except that the 
court may hear a motion for modification of an order for 
protection concurrently with a proceeding for dissolution of 
marriage upon notice of motion and motion.  The notice required 
by court rule shall not be waived.  If the proceedings are 
consolidated and the motion to modify is granted, a separate 
order for modification of an order for protection shall be 
issued. 
    (d) An order granting the relief authorized in paragraph 
(a), clause (2), is not voided by the admittance of the abusing 
party into the dwelling from which the abusing party is excluded.
    (e) If a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal 
separation is pending between the parties, the court shall 
provide a copy of the order for protection to the court with 
jurisdiction over the dissolution or separation proceeding for 
inclusion in its file. 
    (f) An order for restitution issued under this subdivision 
is enforceable as civil judgment. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 518B.01, 
subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [TEMPORARY ORDER.] (a) Where an application under 
this section alleges an immediate and present danger of domestic 
abuse, the court may grant an ex parte temporary order for 
protection, pending a full hearing, and granting relief as the 
court deems proper, including an order:  
    (1) restraining the abusing party from committing acts of 
domestic abuse; 
    (2) excluding any party from the dwelling they share or 
from the residence of the other except by further order of the 
court; and 
    (3) excluding the abusing party from the place of 
employment of the petitioner or otherwise limiting access to the 
petitioner by the abusing party at the petitioner's place of 
employment. 
    (b) A finding by the court that there is a basis for 
issuing an ex parte temporary order for protection constitutes a 
finding that sufficient reasons exist not to require notice 
under applicable court rules governing applications for ex parte 
temporary relief. 
    (c) An ex parte temporary order for protection shall be 
effective for a fixed period not to exceed 14 days, except for 
good cause as provided under paragraph (c) (d).  A full hearing, 
as provided by this section, shall be set for not later than 
seven days from the issuance of the temporary order.  The 
respondent shall be served forthwith a copy of the ex parte 
order along with a copy of the petition and notice of the date 
set for the hearing. 
    (c) (d) When service is made by published notice, as 
provided under subdivision 5, the petitioner may apply for an 
extension of the period of the ex parte order at the same time 
the petitioner files the affidavit required under that 
subdivision.  The court may extend the ex parte temporary order 
for an additional period not to exceed 14 days.  The respondent 
shall be served forthwith a copy of the modified ex parte order 
along with a copy of the notice of the new date set for the 
hearing. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 518B.01, 
subdivision 13, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 13.  [COPY TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.] (a) An order 
for protection granted pursuant to this section shall be 
forwarded by the court administrator within 24 hours to the 
local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the 
residence of the applicant.  
    Each appropriate law enforcement agency shall make 
available to other law enforcement officers through a system for 
verification, information as to the existence and status of any 
order for protection issued pursuant to this section.  
    (b) If the applicant notifies the court administrator of a 
change in the applicant's residence so that a different local 
law enforcement agency has jurisdiction over the residence, the 
order for protection must be forwarded by the court 
administrator to the new law enforcement agency within 24 hours 
of the notice.  If the applicant notifies the new law 
enforcement agency that an order for protection has been issued 
under this section and the applicant has established a new 
residence within that agency's jurisdiction, within 24 hours the 
local law enforcement agency shall request a copy of the order 
for protection from the court administrator in the county that 
issued the order. 
    (c) When an order for protection is granted, the applicant 
for an order for protection must be told by the court that: 
    (1) notification of a change in residence should be given 
immediately to the court administrator and to the local law 
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the new residence of 
the applicant; 
    (2) the reason for notification of a change in residence is 
to forward an order for protection to the proper law enforcement 
agency; and 
    (3) the order for protection must be forwarded to the law 
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the new residence 
within 24 hours of notification of a change in residence, 
whether notification is given to the court administrator or to 
the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the 
applicant's new residence. 
    An order for protection is enforceable even if the 
applicant does not notify the court administrator or the 
appropriate law enforcement agency of a change in residence. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
518B.01, subdivision 14, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 14.  [VIOLATION OF AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION.] (a) 
Whenever an order for protection is granted pursuant to this 
section, and the respondent or person to be restrained knows of 
the order, violation of the order for protection is a 
misdemeanor.  Upon conviction, the defendant must be sentenced 
to a minimum of three days imprisonment and must be ordered to 
participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
by the court.  If the court stays imposition or execution of the 
jail sentence and the defendant refuses or fails to comply with 
the court's treatment order, the court must impose and execute 
the stayed jail sentence.  A person who violates this paragraph 
within two years after a previous conviction under this 
paragraph or within two years after a previous conviction under 
a similar law of another state, is guilty of a gross 
misdemeanor.  When a court sentences a person convicted of a 
gross misdemeanor and does not impose a period of incarceration, 
the court shall make findings on the record regarding the 
reasons for not requiring incarceration.  Upon conviction, the 
defendant must be sentenced to a minimum of ten days 
imprisonment and must be ordered to participate in counseling or 
other appropriate programs selected by the court.  
Notwithstanding section 609.135, the court must impose and 
execute the minimum sentence provided in this paragraph for 
gross misdemeanor convictions. 
    (b) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take 
into custody a person whom the peace officer has probable cause 
to believe has violated an order granted pursuant to this 
section restraining the person or excluding the person from the 
residence or the petitioner's place of employment, even if the 
violation of the order did not take place in the presence of the 
peace officer, if the existence of the order can be verified by 
the officer.  The person shall be held in custody for at least 
36 hours, excluding the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, 
unless the person is released earlier by a judge or judicial 
officer.  A peace officer acting in good faith and exercising 
due care in making an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is 
immune from civil liability that might result from the officer's 
actions. 
    (c) A violation of an order for protection shall also 
constitute contempt of court and be subject to the penalties 
therefor.  
    (d) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 
order for protection and that there is reason to believe that 
the respondent will commit a further violation of the provisions 
of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of 
domestic abuse or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's 
residence, the court may require the respondent to acknowledge 
an obligation to comply with the order on the record.  The court 
may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from 
committing further violations of the order for protection, 
considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not 
to exceed $10,000.  If the respondent refuses to comply with an 
order to acknowledge the obligation or post a bond under this 
paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to the county 
jail during the term of the order for protection or until the 
respondent complies with the order under this paragraph.  The 
warrant must state the cause of commitment, with the sum and 
time for which any bond is required.  If an order is issued 
under this paragraph, the court may order the costs of the 
contempt action, or any part of them, to be paid by the 
respondent.  An order under this paragraph is appealable.  
     (e) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any 
peace officer, or an interested party designated by the court, 
alleging that the respondent has violated any order for 
protection granted pursuant to this section, the court may issue 
an order to the respondent, requiring the respondent to appear 
and show cause within 14 days why the respondent should not be 
found in contempt of court and punished therefor.  The hearing 
may be held by the court in any county in which the petitioner 
or respondent temporarily or permanently resides at the time of 
the alleged violation.  The court also may refer the violation 
of the order for protection to the appropriate prosecuting 
authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (a). 
    (f) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 
order for protection issued under subdivision 6 and the court 
finds that the order has expired between the time of the alleged 
violation and the court's hearing on the violation, the court 
may grant a new order for protection under subdivision 6 based 
solely on the respondent's alleged violation of the prior order, 
to be effective until the hearing on the alleged violation of 
the prior order.  If the court finds that the respondent has 
violated the prior order, the relief granted in the new order 
for protection shall be extended for a fixed period, not to 
exceed one year. 
    (g) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing 
party excluded from the dwelling under an order for protection 
is not a violation by the petitioner of the order for protection.
    A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause 
(1), for a failure to perform a duty required by clause (b).  
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 518B.01, is

sections 609.135, subdivision 5a, 611A.07, and 629.72, 
subdivision 2a, "electronic monitoring device" means a radio 
frequency transmitter unit that is worn at all times on the 
person of a defendant in conjunction with a receiver unit that 
is located in the victim's residence or on the victim's person.  
The receiver unit emits an audible and visible signal whenever 
the defendant with a transmitter unit comes within a designated 
distance from the receiver unit. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.135, 
subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 5.  If a person is convicted of assaulting a spouse 
or other person with whom the person resides, and the court 
stays imposition or execution of sentence and places the

by an order of reference issued pursuant to either a hearing 
held under subdivision 2 or pursuant to the waiver of the right 
to such a hearing, other than a prior reference in the same case.
    This subdivision only applies if the child is convicted of 
the offense or offenses for which the child was prosecuted 
pursuant to the order of reference or of a lesser included 
offense which is a felony.  
    This subdivision does not apply to juvenile offenders who 
are subject to criminal court jurisdiction under section 609.055.

subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  Upon request of the court the county 
welfare board or probation officer shall investigate the

qualified physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist appointed by 
the court.  
    The court shall have a chemical use assessment conducted 
when a child is (1) found to be delinquent for violating a 
provision of chapter 152, or for committing a felony-level 
violation of a provision of chapter 609 if the probation officer 
determines that alcohol or drug use was a contributing factor in

child alleged to be delinquent, in need of protection or 
services under section 260.015, subdivision 2a, clause (11) or 
(12), or a juvenile petty offender, and hearings conducted 
pursuant to section 260.125 except to the extent that the rules

of protection or services or neglected and in foster care, the 
court shall file the decision with the court administrator as 
soon as possible but no later than 15 days after the matter is

the records on an individual to a requesting adult court for 
purposes of sentencing, or to an adult court or juvenile court 
as required by the right of confrontation of either the United 
States Constitution or the Minnesota Constitution.  The juvenile 
court shall provide, upon the request of any other juvenile 
court, copies of the records concerning adjudications involving 
the particular child.  The court shall also keep an index in 
which files pertaining to juvenile matters shall be indexed 
under the name of the child.  After the name of each file shall 
be shown the file number and, if ordered by the court, the book 
and page of the register in which the documents pertaining to 
such file are listed.  The court shall also keep a register 
properly indexed in which shall be listed under the name of the 
child all documents filed pertaining to the child and in the 
order filed.  The list shall show the name of the document and 
the date of filing thereof.  The juvenile court legal records 
shall be deposited in files and shall include the petition, 
summons, notice, findings, orders, decrees, judgments, and 
motions and such other matters as the court deems necessary and 
proper.  The legal records maintained in this file shall be open 
at all reasonable times to the inspection of any child to whom 
the records relate, and to the child's parent and guardian. 
    (b) The court shall retain records of the court finding 
that a juvenile committed an act that would be a violation of, 
or an attempt to violate, section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 
609.345, until the offender reaches the age of 25.  If the 
offender commits another violation of sections 609.342 to 
609.345 as an adult, the court shall retain the juvenile records 
for as long as the records would have been retained if the 
offender had been an adult at the time of the juvenile offense.

represented by an attorney when the petition was admitted or 
proven.

violation of sections 609.342 to 609.345 as an adult, the bureau 
shall retain the data for as long as the data would have been 
retained if the offender had been an adult at the time of the 
juvenile offense. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.172, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  (a) If a child was taken into custody under 
section 260.165, subdivision 1, clause (a) or (c)(2), the court 
shall hold a hearing within 72 hours of the time the child was 
taken into custody, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, 
to determine whether the child should continue in custody.  
    (b) In all other cases, the court shall hold a detention 
hearing: 
    (1) within 36 hours of the time the child was taken into 
custody, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, if the 
child is being held at a juvenile secure detention facility or 
shelter care facility; or 
    (2) within 24 hours of the time the child was taken into 
custody, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, if the 
child is being held at an adult jail or municipal lockup.  
    (c) Unless there is reason to believe that the child would 
endanger self or others, not return for a court hearing, run 
away from the child's parent, guardian, or custodian or 
otherwise not remain in the care or control of the person to 
whose lawful custody the child is released, or that the child's 
health or welfare would be immediately endangered, the child 
shall be released to the custody of a parent, guardian, 
custodian, or other suitable person, subject to reasonable 
conditions of release including, but not limited to, a 
requirement that the child undergo a chemical use assessment as 
provided in section 260.151, subdivision 1.  In determining 
whether the child's health or welfare would be immediately 
endangered, the court shall consider whether the child would 
reside with a perpetrator of domestic child abuse. In a 
proceeding regarding a child in need of protection or services, 
the court, before determining whether a child should continue in 
custody, shall also make a determination, consistent with 
section 260.012 as to whether reasonable efforts, or in the case 
of an Indian child, active efforts, according to the Indian 
Child Welfare Act of 1978, United States Code, title 25, section 
1912(d), were made to prevent placement or to reunite the child 
with the child's family, or that reasonable efforts were not 
possible.  The court shall also determine whether there are 
available services that would prevent the need for further 
detention. 
    If the court finds the social services agency's preventive 
or reunification efforts have not been reasonable but further 
preventive or reunification efforts could not permit the child 
to safely remain at home, the court may nevertheless authorize 
or continue the removal of the child. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.181, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 3a.  [REPORTS; JUVENILES PLACED OUT OF STATE.] (a) 
Whenever a child is placed in a residential program located 
outside of this state pursuant to a disposition order issued

administrator shall report the following information to the 
state court administrator:

containing the information reported under paragraph (a) during 
the previous calendar year. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.185, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 1a.  [POSSESSION OF FIREARM.] If the child is 
petitioned and found delinquent by the court, and the court also 
finds that the child was in possession of a firearm at the time 
of the offense, in addition to any other disposition the court 
shall order that the firearm be immediately seized and shall 
order that the child be required to serve at least 100 hours of 
community work service unless the child is placed in a 
residential treatment program or a juvenile correctional 
facility. 
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.185, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  All orders for supervision under subdivision 1, 
clause (b) shall be for an indeterminate period unless otherwise 
specified by the court, and shall be reviewed by the court at

shall be for a specified length of time set by the court.  
However, before an order has expired and upon the court's own 
motion or that of any interested party, the court has continuing 
jurisdiction to renew the order or, after notice to the parties 
and a hearing, make some other disposition of the case, until 
the individual is no longer a minor becomes 19 years of age.  
Any person to whom legal custody is transferred shall report to 
the court in writing at such periods as the court may direct. 
    Sec. 10.  [299C.095] [SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFICATION OF 
ADJUDICATED JUVENILES.] 
    The bureau shall establish a system for recording the data 
on adjudicated juveniles received from the juvenile courts under 
section 5.  The data in the system are private data as defined 
in section 13.02, subdivision 12, but are accessible to a person 
who has access to the juvenile court records as provided in 
section 260.161 or under court rule. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 546.27,

judge shall be paid unless the voucher therefor be accompanied 
by a certificate of the judge that there has been full 
compliance with the requirements of this section. 
    (b) If a hearing has been held on a petition under chapter 
260 involving physical or sexual abuse of a child who is alleged 
to be in need of protection or services or neglected and in 
foster care, the decision must be filed within 15 days after the 
matter is submitted to the judge. 
    Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 609.055, is 
amended to read: 
    609.055 [LIABILITY OF CHILDREN.]

the appropriate prosecuting authority in accordance with the 
provisions of chapter 260.  A child who is 16 years of age or 
older but under 18 years of age is capable of committing a crime 
and may be prosecuted for a felony if: 
    (1) the child has been previously referred for prosecution 
on a felony charge by an order of reference issued pursuant to a 
hearing under section 260.125, subdivision 2, or pursuant to the 
waiver of the right to such a hearing, or prosecuted pursuant to

force on mentoring and community service shall, by January 15, 
1993, propose to the legislature a comprehensive plan to improve 
and increase opportunities for juveniles and young adults to

and the state.  The plan shall reflect the legislature's intent 
to prevent crime and to minimize the expenditure of limited 
corrections resources by engaging young people in constructive 
alternatives to criminal and other antisocial activities.  The 
plan shall also reflect the legislature's recognition that each 
young person has significant strengths, and that state 
investment should build on these strengths rather than plan for 
failure.  The plan must include at least the following 
components: 
    (1) an analysis of the fiscal impact of the state's

increasing mentoring and tutoring opportunities; and 
    (6) recommendations for funding new programs, including 
redirecting and reprioritizing existing resources. 
    Subd. 2.  [LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS.] The speaker of the house 
and the majority leader of the senate shall each appoint three 
legislators to serve as nonvoting members of the advisory task 
force.

violations occurring on or after that date.  Section 13 is 
effective the day following final enactment. 

                               ARTICLE 8 

                         SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 241.67, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT.] A sex offender 
treatment system is established under the administration of the 
commissioner of corrections to provide and finance a range of 
sex offender treatment programs for eligible adults and 
juveniles.  Eligible Offenders who are eligible to receive 
treatment, within the limits of available funding, are: 
    (1) adults and juveniles committed to the custody of the 
commissioner; 
    (2) adult offenders for whom treatment is required by the 
court as a condition of probation; and 
    (3) juvenile offenders who have been found delinquent or 
received a stay of adjudication, for whom the juvenile court has 
ordered treatment; and 
    (4) adults and juveniles who are eligible for 
community-based treatment under the sex offender treatment fund 
established in section 4. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 241.67, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [TREATMENT PROGRAM STANDARDS.] By July 1, 
1991, (a) The commissioner shall adopt rules under chapter 14 
for the certification of adult and juvenile sex offender 
treatment programs in state and local correctional facilities.  
The rules shall require that sex offender treatment programs be 
at least four months in duration.  After July 1, 1991, A 
correctional facility may not operate a sex offender treatment 
program unless the program has met the standards adopted by and 
been certified by the commissioner of corrections.  As used in 
this subdivision, "correctional facility" has the meaning given 
it in section 241.021, subdivision 1, clause (5).  
    (b) By July 1, 1994, the commissioner shall adopt rules 
under chapter 14 for the certification of community-based adult 
and juvenile sex offender treatment programs not operated in 
state or local correctional facilities.  
    (c) In addition to other certification requirements 
established under paragraphs (a) and (b), rules adopted by the 
commissioner must require all certified programs to participate 
in an ongoing outcome-based evaluation and quality management 
system established by the commissioner. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 241.67, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [FUNDING PRIORITY; PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS.] (a) 
Unless otherwise directed by the terms of a particular 
appropriations provision, the commissioner shall give priority 
to the funding of juvenile sex offender programs over the 
funding of adult sex offender programs. 
    (b) Every county or private sex offender program that seeks 
new or continued state funding or reimbursement shall provide 
the commissioner with any information relating to the program's 
effectiveness that the commissioner considers necessary.  The 
commissioner shall deny state funding or reimbursement to any 
county or private program that fails to provide this information 
or that appears to be an ineffective program. 
    Sec. 4.  [241.671] [SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT FUND.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [TREATMENT FUND ADMINISTRATION.] A sex 
offender treatment fund is established to pay for 
community-based sex offender treatment for adults and 
juveniles.  The commissioner of corrections and the commissioner 
of human services shall establish an interagency staff work 
group to coordinate agency activities relating to sex offender 
treatment.  The commissioner of human services is responsible 
for administering the sex offender treatment fund, including 
establishing requirements for submitting claims for payment, 
paying vendors, and enforcing the county maintenance of effort 
requirement in subdivision 7.  The commissioner of corrections 
is responsible for overseeing and coordinating a statewide sex 
offender treatment system under section 241.67, subdivision 1; 
certifying sex offender treatment providers under section 
241.67, subdivision 2, paragraph (b); establishing eligibility 
criteria and an assessment process under subdivision 3; 
determining county allocations of treatment fund money under 
subdivision 4; and approving special project grants under 
subdivision 5.  The county is responsible for developing and 
coordinating sex offender treatment services under the 
supervision of the commissioner of corrections, approving sex 
offender treatment vendors under subdivision 8, approving 
persons for treatment within the limits of the county's 
allocation of treatment fund money under subdivision 4, and 
selecting an eligible vendor to provide the appropriate level of 
treatment to each person who is eligible to receive treatment 
and for whom funding is available.  The assessment of 
eligibility and treatment needs under subdivision 3 must be 
conducted by the agency responsible for probation services.  If 
this agency is not a county agency, the county shall enter into 
an agreement with the agency that prescribes the process for 
county approval of treatment and treatment vendors within the 
limits of the county's allocation of treatment fund money.  The 
commissioner of corrections shall adopt rules under chapter 14 
governing the sex offender treatment fund.  At the request of 
the commissioner of corrections, the commissioner of human 
services shall provide technical assistance relating to the 
duties required under this section.  The commissioner of 
corrections and the commissioner of human services shall 
coordinate activities relating to the sex offender treatment 
fund with activities relating to the consolidated chemical 
dependency treatment fund. 
    Subd. 2.  [PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE TREATMENT.] Within 
the limits of available funding, the sex offender treatment fund 
pays for sex offender treatment for sex offenders who have been 
ordered by the court to receive treatment and high-risk persons 
who seek treatment voluntarily.  For purposes of this section, a 
sex offender is an adult who has been convicted under, or a 
juvenile who has been adjudicated to be delinquent based on a 
violation of, section 609.342; 609.343; 609.344; 609.345; 
609.3451; 609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23, or another 
offense arising out of a charge or delinquency petition based on 
one or more of those sections.  The treatment fund pays for 
treatment only to the extent that the costs of treatment cannot 
be met by the person's income or assets, health coverage, or 
other resources.  Payment may be made on behalf of eligible 
persons only if:  
    (1) the person has been assessed and determined to be in 
need of community-based treatment under subdivision 3; 
    (2) the county has approved treatment and designated a 
treatment vendor within the limits of the county's allocation of 
money under subdivision 4; 
    (3) the person received the appropriate level of treatment 
as determined through the assessment process; 
    (4) the person received services from a vendor certified by 
the commissioner of corrections under section 241.67, 
subdivision 2, paragraph (b); and 
    (5) the vendor submitted a claim for payment in accordance 
with requirements established by the commissioner of human 
services. 
    Subd. 3.  [ASSESSMENT.] (a) The commissioner of corrections 
shall establish a process and criteria for assessing the 
eligibility and treatment needs of persons on whose behalf 
payment from the sex offender treatment fund is sought.  The 
assessment determines:  (1) whether the individual is eligible 
under subdivision 2; (2) the person's ability to contribute to 
the cost of treatment; (3) whether a need for treatment exists; 
(4) if treatment is needed, the appropriate level of treatment; 
and (5) if the person is seeking treatment voluntarily, whether 
the person represents a high risk of becoming a sex offender in 
the absence of intervention and treatment. 
    (b) The commissioner shall develop a sliding fee scale to 
determine the amount of the contribution required from persons 
who have income or other financial resources.  The fee scale 
must require persons whose income and assets are above the 
limits for the medical assistance program to contribute to the 
cost of the assessment and treatment and require persons whose 
income is above the state median income to pay the entire cost 
of assessment and treatment.  
    Subd. 4.  [COUNTY ALLOCATIONS.] (a) For the first year of 
the sex offender treatment fund, the money appropriated for the 
treatment fund must be allocated among the counties according to 
the following formula: 
    (1) two-thirds based on the number of sex offender 
convictions or adjudications in the county in the previous year; 
and 
    (2) one-third based on county population. 
    (b) Any balance remaining in the fund at the end of the 
first year of the fund does not cancel and is available for the 
next year.  Any balance remaining in subsequent years does not 
carry forward unless specifically authorized by the legislature. 
    (c) For the second year of the fund, an amount equal to the 
balance carried forward from the first year, plus any 
legislative appropriation for special project grants, must be 
reserved for special projects under subdivision 5.  This becomes 
the base funding level for special project grants.  The 
appropriation for the treatment fund must be allocated to 
counties in proportion to the amount actually paid out of each 
county's treatment fund allocation in the previous year.  
    (d) For the third and subsequent years of the fund, the 
appropriation for the sex offender treatment fund must be 
allocated to counties in proportion to the previous year's 
allocations.  Any increase or decrease in funding for the sex 
offender treatment fund must be allocated proportionately among 
counties.  
    (e) For the second and subsequent years of the treatment 
fund, a reduction in the special projects base funding and a 
corresponding increase in a county's sex offender treatment fund 
allocation may be made under subdivision 5.  
    (f) Money appropriated specifically for sex offender 
assessments must be allocated to counties based on the number of 
sex offender convictions and delinquency adjudications in the 
county in the previous year.  The money must be used to pay for 
assessments conducted under subdivision 3. 
    Subd. 5.  [SPECIAL PROJECT GRANTS.] The commissioner of 
corrections shall approve grants to counties for special 
projects using the money reserved for special projects under 
subdivision 4, paragraph (c), and any appropriations 
specifically designated for sex offender treatment special 
projects.  Special project grants may be used to develop new sex 
offender treatment services or providers, develop or test new 
treatment methods, educate courts and corrections personnel on 
treatment programs and methods, address special treatment needs 
in a particular county, or provide additional funding to 
counties that demonstrate that their treatment needs cannot be 
met within their formula allocation under subdivision 4.  For 
the first three years of the fund, highest priority for special 
project grants must be given to counties that spent less than 
their allocation under the formula in subdivision 4, paragraph 
(a), during the previous year; demonstrate a significant need to 
increase their spending for sex offender treatment; and submit a 
detailed plan for improving their sex offender treatment 
system.  For these high priority counties, upon successful 
completion of a special project the commissioner shall increase 
that county's base allocation under subdivision 4 for subsequent 
years by the amount of the special project grant or another 
amount determined by the commissioner and agreed to by the 
county as a condition of receiving a special project grant.  The 
base funding level for special projects for the subsequent year 
must be reduced by the amount of the increase in the county's 
base allocation.  After the third year of the treatment fund, 
the commissioner may allocate up to 40 percent of the special 
project grant money to increase the base allocation of treatment 
fund money for those counties that demonstrate the greatest need 
to increase funding for sex offender treatment.  The base 
funding level for special projects must be reduced by the amount 
of the increase in counties' base allocations. 
    Subd. 6.  [COUNTY ADMINISTRATION.] A county may use up to 
five percent of the money allocated to it under subdivision 4 
for administrative costs associated with the sex offender 
treatment fund, including the costs of assessment and referral 
of persons for treatment, state administrative and reporting 
requirements, service development, and other activities directly 
related to sex offender treatment.  Two or more counties may 
undertake any of the activities required under this section as a 
joint action under section 471.59.  Nothing in this section 
requires a county to spend local money or commit local resources 
in addition to state money provided under this section, except 
as provided in subdivision 7. 
    Subd. 7.  [MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT.] As a condition of 
receiving an allocation of money from the sex offender treatment 
fund under this section, a county must agree not to reduce the 
level of funding provided for sex offender treatment below the 
average annual funding level for calendar years 1989, 1990, and 
1991.  
    Subd. 8.  [ELIGIBILITY OF VENDORS.] To be eligible to 
receive payment from the sex offender treatment fund, a vendor 
must be certified by the commissioner of corrections under 
section 241.67, subdivision 2, paragraph (b), and must comply 
with billing and reporting requirements established by the 
commissioner of human services.  A county may become certified 
and approved as a vendor by satisfying the same requirements 
that apply to other vendors. 
    Subd. 9.  [START-UP GRANTS.] Within the limits of 
appropriations made specifically for this purpose, the 
commissioner of corrections shall award grants to counties or 
providers for the initial start-up costs of establishing new 
certified, community-based sex offender treatment programs 
eligible for reimbursement under the sex offender treatment 
fund.  In awarding the grants, the commissioner shall promote a 
statewide system of sex offender treatment programs that will 
provide reasonable geographic access to treatment throughout the 
state. 
    Subd. 10.  [COORDINATION OF FUNDING FOR SEX OFFENDER 
TREATMENT.] The commissioners of corrections and human services 
shall identify all sources of funding for sex offender treatment 
in the state and develop methods of coordinating funding sources.
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 242.195, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [TREATMENT SEX OFFENDER PROGRAMS.] The 
commissioner of corrections shall provide for a range of sex 
offender treatment programs, including intensive sex offender 
treatment programs, for juveniles within state juvenile 
correctional facilities and through purchase of service from 
county and private residential and outpatient juvenile sex 
offender treatment programs.  The commissioner shall establish 
and operate a juvenile sex offender program at one of the state 
juvenile correctional facilities.  
    Sec. 6.  [SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT; PILOT PROGRAM.] 
    The commissioner of corrections, in consultation with the 
commissioner of human services, shall administer a grant to 
create a pilot program to test the effectiveness of 
pharmacological agents, such as antiandrogens, in the treatment 
of sex offenders including psychopathic personalities. 
    Participation in the study must be by volunteers who meet 
defined criteria.  The commissioner of corrections shall report 
to the legislature by February 1, 1993, regarding the 
preliminary results of the study. 
    Sec. 7.  [REPORT ON SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT FUNDING.] 
    By January 1, 1993, the commissioners of corrections and 
human services shall submit a report to the legislature on 
funding for sex offender treatment, including: 
    (1) a summary of the sources and amounts of public and 
private funding for sex offender treatment; 
    (2) a progress report on implementation of sections 4 to 7; 
    (3) methods currently being used to coordinate funding; 
    (4) recommendations on whether other sources of funding 
should be consolidated into the sex offender treatment fund; 
    (5) recommendations regarding medical assistance program 
changes or waivers that will improve the cost-effective use of 
medical assistance funds for sex offender treatment; 
    (6) recommendations on whether start-up grants are needed 
to promote the development of needed sex offender treatment 
vendors, and if so, the amount of money needed for various 
regions, types of vendor, and class of sex offender; 
    (7) an estimate of the amount of money needed to fully fund 
the sex offender treatment fund and information regarding the 
cost of an array of possible options for partial funding, 
including funding options that prioritize treatment needs based 
on the age of the offender, the level of offense, or other 
factors identified by the commissioner; and 
    (8) recommendations for other changes that will improve the 
effectiveness and efficiency of the sex offender treatment 
funding system. 
    Sec. 8.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Sections 1 to 7 are effective the day following final 
enactment.

    (2) referral for mental health assessment of all juveniles 
for whom the screening indicates a need.  This assessment is to 
be provided by the appropriate mental health professional.  If 
the juvenile is of a minority race or minority ethnic heritage, 
the mental health professional must be skilled in and 
knowledgeable about the juvenile's racial and ethnic heritage, 
or must consult with a special mental health consultant who has 
such knowledge so that the assessment is relevant, culturally 
specific, and sensitive to the juvenile's cultural needs; and

    (4) a description of additional services that will be 
developed with program funds, including estimated costs and 
numbers of juveniles to be served; and 
    (5) assurances that funds received by a county under this 
section will not be used to supplant existing mental health 
funding for which the juvenile is eligible. 
    The commissioner of human services and the commissioner of 
corrections shall jointly determine the application form, 
information needed, deadline for application, criteria for 
awards, and a process for providing technical assistance and 
training to counties.  The technical assistance shall include 
information about programs that have been successful in reducing 
recidivism by juvenile offenders. 
    Subd. 5.  [INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS.] To receive funds, the 
county must agree to develop written interagency agreements 
between local court services agencies and local county mental 
health agencies within six months of receiving the initial 
program funds.  These agreements shall include a description of 
each local agency's responsibilities, with a detailed assignment 
of the tasks necessary to implement the program.  The agreement 
shall state how they will comply with the confidentiality 
requirements of the participating local agencies.

and the commissioner of corrections shall, in consultation with 
the Indian affairs council, the council on affairs of 
Spanish-speaking people, the council on Black Minnesotans, and 
the council on Asian-Pacific Minnesotans, develop systems and 
procedures for evaluating the pilot projects.  The departments 
must develop an interagency management information system to 
track juveniles who receive mental health and chemical 
dependency services.  The system must be designed to meet the 
information needs of the agencies involved and to provide a 
basis for evaluating outcome data.  The system must be designed 
to track the mental health treatment of juveniles released from 
custody and to improve the planning, delivery, and evaluation of 
services and increase interagency collaboration.  The evaluation 
protocol must be designed to measure the impact of the program 
on juvenile recidivism, school performance, and state and county 
budgets. 
    Subd. 7.  [REPORT.] On January 1, 1994, and annually after 
that, the commissioner of corrections and the commissioner of

agreeing to comply with the program's requirements.  
    Subd. 2.  [ELIGIBILITY.] The commissioner must limit the 
challenge incarceration program to the following persons: 
    (1) offenders who are committed to the commissioner's 
custody following revocation of a stayed sentence; and

custody for a term of imprisonment of not less than 18 months 
nor more than 36 months and who did not receive a dispositional 
departure under the sentencing guidelines.  
    Subd. 3.  [OFFENDERS NOT ELIGIBLE.] The following offenders

program: 
    (1) offenders who are committed to the commissioner's 
custody following a conviction for murder, manslaughter, 
criminal sexual conduct, assault, kidnapping, robbery, arson, or 
any other offense involving death or personal injury; and 
    (2) offenders who previously were convicted of an offense 
described in clause (1) and were committed to the custody of the 
commissioner. 
    Sec. 6.  [244.171] [CHALLENGE INCARCERATION PROGRAM; BASIC 
ELEMENTS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [REQUIREMENTS.] The commissioner shall 
administer an intensive, structured, and disciplined program 
with a high level of offender accountability and control and 
direct and related consequences for failure to meet behavioral 
expectations.  The program shall have the following goals: 
    (1) to punish and hold the offender accountable; 
    (2) to protect the safety of the public; 
    (3) to treat offenders who are chemically dependent; and 
    (4) to prepare the offender for successful reintegration 
into society.  
    Subd. 2.  [PROGRAM COMPONENTS.] The program shall contain 
all of the components described in paragraphs (a) to (e). 
    (a) The program shall contain a highly structured daily 
schedule for the offender.

and mental well-being of the offender.  It shall include skills 
designed to teach the offender how to reduce and cope with 
stress. 
    (c) The program shall contain individualized educational 
programs designed to improve the basic educational skills of the 
offender and to provide vocational training.

the offender's self-worth and the offender's acceptance of 
responsibility for the consequences of the offender's own 
decisions. 
    (e) The program shall contain culturally sensitive chemical 
dependency programs, licensed by the department of human 
services and designed to serve the inmate population.  It shall 
require that each offender submit to a chemical use assessment 
and that the offender receive the appropriate level of treatment 
as indicated by the assessment. 
    Subd. 3.  [GOOD TIME NOT AVAILABLE.] An offender in the 
challenge incarceration program does not earn good time during

follow the rules of the program; 
    (2) commits any misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony 
offense; or 
    (3) presents a risk to the public, based on the offender's

incarceration program is governed by the procedures in the 
commissioner's rules adopted under section 244.05, subdivision 2.
    An offender who is removed from the challenge incarceration

time period equal to two-thirds of the sentence originally 
executed by the sentencing court, minus jail credit, if any. 
    Subd. 5.  [TRAINING.] The commissioner shall develop 
specialized training for correctional employees who supervise 
and are assigned to the challenge incarceration program. 
    Sec. 7.  [244.172] [CHALLENGE INCARCERATION PROGRAM; PHASES 
I to III.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [PHASE I.] Phase I of the program lasts at 
least six months.  The offender must be confined in a state 
correctional facility designated by the commissioner and must 
successfully participate in all intensive treatment, education 
and work programs required by the commissioner.  The offender 
must also submit on demand to random drug and alcohol testing at 
time intervals set by the commissioner.  For the first three 
months of phase I, the offender may not receive visitors or 
telephone calls, except under emergency circumstances. 
    Subd. 2.  [PHASE II.] Phase II of the program lasts at 
least six months.  The offender shall serve this phase of the 
offender's sentence in an intensive supervision and surveillance 
program established by the commissioner.  The commissioner may 
impose such requirements on the offender as are necessary to 
carry out the goals of the program.  The offender must be 
required to submit to daily drug and alcohol tests for the first 
three months; biweekly tests for the next two months; and weekly 
tests for the remainder of phase II.  The commissioner shall 
also require the offender to report daily to a day-reporting 
facility designated by the commissioner.  In addition, if the 
commissioner required the offender to undergo acupuncture during 
phase I, the offender must continue to submit to acupuncture 
treatment throughout phase II. 
    Subd. 3.  [PHASE III.] Phase III lasts for the remainder of 
the offender's sentence.  During phase III, the commissioner 
shall place the offender on supervised release under section 
244.05.  The commissioner shall set the level of the offender's 
supervision based on the public risk presented by the offender. 
    Sec. 8.  [244.173] [CHALLENGE INCARCERATION PROGRAM; 
EVALUATION AND REPORT.]

senate judiciary committees by September 1, 1992, which sets 
forth with specificity the program's design.  The commissioner 
shall also develop a system for gathering and analyzing 
information concerning the value and effectiveness of the 
challenge incarceration program.  The commissioner shall report 
to the legislature by January 1, 1996, on the operation of the 
program. 
    Sec. 9.  [244.18] [LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FEES; IMPOSITION ON 
OFFENDERS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] As used in this section, 
"local correctional fees" include fees for the following 
correctional services:  
    (1) community service work placement and supervision; 
    (2) restitution collection; 
    (3) supervision; 
    (4) court ordered investigations; or 
    (5) any other court ordered service to be provided by a 
local probation and parole agency established under section 
260.311 or community corrections agency established under 
chapter 401. 
    Subd. 2.  [LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FEES.] A local correctional 
agency may establish a schedule of local correctional fees to 
charge persons convicted of a crime and under the supervision 
and control of the local correctional agency to defray costs 
associated with correctional services.  The local correctional 
fees on the schedule must be reasonably related to defendants' 
abilities to pay and the actual cost of correctional services. 
    Subd. 3.  [FEE COLLECTION.] The chief executive officer of 
a local correctional agency may collect local correctional fees 
assessed under section 13.  The local correctional agency may 
collect the fee at any time while the offender is under sentence 
or after the sentence has been discharged.  The agency may use 
any available civil means of debt collection in collecting a 
local correctional fee. 
    Subd. 4.  [EXEMPTION FROM FEE.] The local correctional 
agency shall waive payment of a local correctional fee if so 
ordered by the court under section 13.  If the court fails to 
waive the fee, the chief executive officer of the local 
correctional agency may waive payment of the fee if the officer 
determines that the offender does not have the ability to pay 
the fee, the prospects for payment are poor, or there are 
extenuating circumstances justifying waiver of the fee.  Instead 
of waiving the fee, the local correctional agency may require 
the offender to perform community work service as a means of 
paying the fee.  
    Subd. 5.  [RESTITUTION PAYMENT PRIORITY.] If a defendant 
has been ordered by a court to pay restitution and a local 
correctional fee, the defendant shall be obligated to pay the 
restitution ordered before paying the local correctional fee. 
    Subd. 6.  [USE OF FEES.] The local correctional fees shall 
be used by the local correctional agency to pay the costs of 
local correctional services.  Local correctional fees may not be 
used to supplant existing local funding for local correctional 
services.  
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 260.311, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 3a.  [DETAINING PERSON ON CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] (a)

may, without a warrant when it appears necessary to prevent 
escape or enforce discipline, take and detain a probationer or 
any person on conditional release and bring that person before 
the court or the commissioner of corrections, whichever is 
appropriate, for disposition.  No probationer or other person on 
conditional release shall be detained under this subdivision 
more than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, 
without being given an opportunity for a hearing before the 
court or the commissioner of corrections or a designee. 
    (b) The written order of the chief executive officer or 
designee of a county corrections agency established under this 
section is sufficient authority for any peace officer or county 
probation officer to take and place in actual custody any person 
under sentence or on probation who: 
    (1) fails to report to serve a sentence at a local 
correctional facility, as defined in section 241.021,

it appears necessary to prevent escape or enforce discipline, 
take and detain a probationer, or any person on conditional 
release and bring that person before the court or the 
commissioner of corrections or a designee, whichever is 
appropriate, for disposition.  No probationer or other person on 
conditional release shall be detained more than 72 hours, 
exclusive of legal holidays, Saturdays and Sundays, pursuant to 
this subdivision without being provided with the opportunity for 
a hearing before the court or the commissioner of corrections or 
a designee.  When providing supervision and other correctional 
services to persons conditionally released pursuant to sections 
241.26, 242.19, 243.05, 243.16, 244.05, and 244.065, including 
intercounty transfer of persons on conditional release, and the 
conduct of presentence investigations, participating counties 
shall comply with the policies and procedures relating thereto 
as prescribed by the commissioner of corrections.  
    (b) The written order of the chief executive officer or 
designee of a community corrections agency established under 
this chapter is sufficient authority for any peace officer or 
county probation officer to take and place in actual custody any 
person under sentence or on probation who: 
    (1) fails to report to serve a sentence at a local 
correctional facility, as defined in section 241.021, 
subdivision 1; 
    (2) fails to return from furlough or authorized temporary

local correctional agency. 
    Subd. 4.  [RESTITUTION PAYMENT PRIORITY.] If the court

as defined by paragraph (e). 
    (e) "Sexual conduct" means any of the following if the 
depiction involves a minor: 
    (1) an act of sexual intercourse, actual or simulated, 
including genital-genital, anal-genital, or oral-genital 
intercourse, whether between human beings or between a human 
being and an animal;

abuse if the action is based on an intentional tort committed 
against the plaintiff. 
    Sec. 3.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Section 2 is effective retroactive to August 1, 1991, and 
applies to actions pending on or commenced on or after that date.

with the offense, and the offense is not a minor traffic offense 
under section 260.193.

driving privileges have been suspended or revoked as provided in 
this section before reinstating the person's driver's license. 
    Subd. 5.  [NONRESIDENTS.] When a nonresident's operating 
privilege is suspended pursuant to this section, the 
commissioner of public safety or a designee shall transmit a 
copy of the record of the action to the official in charge of 
the issuance of licenses in the state in which the nonresident 
resides. 
    Subd. 6.  [LICENSE SUSPENSION.] Upon receipt of 
notification that the operating privilege of a resident of this 
state has been suspended or revoked in any other state pursuant 
to a law providing for its suspension or revocation for failure 
to deposit security for the payment of judgments arising out of 
a vehicle accident, or for failure to provide security covering 
a vehicle if required by the laws of that state, the 
commissioner of public safety shall suspend the operator's 
license of the resident until the resident furnishes evidence of 
compliance with the laws of this state and if applicable the 
laws of the other state. 
    Sec. 8.  [169.798] [RULES OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC 
SAFETY.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [AUTHORITY.] The commissioner of public 
safety shall have the power and perform the duties imposed by 
sections 65B.41 to 65B.71, this section, and sections 169.797

effective administration of the provisions requiring security 
and governing termination of security. 
    Subd. 2.  [EVIDENCE OF SECURITY REQUIRED.] The commissioner 
of public safety may by rule provide that vehicles owned by 
certain persons may not be registered in this state unless 
satisfactory evidence is furnished that security has been 
provided as required by section 65B.48.  If a person who is 
required to furnish evidence ceases to maintain security, the 
person shall immediately surrender the registration certificate 
and license plates for the vehicle.  These requirements may be 
imposed if: 
    (1) The registrant has not previously registered a vehicle 
in this state; or 
    (2) An owner or operator of the vehicle has previously 
failed to comply with the security requirements of sections 
65B.41 to 65B.71 or of prior law; or 
    (3) The driving record of an owner or operator of the 
vehicle evidences a continuing disregard of the laws of this 
state enacted to protect the public safety; or 
    (4) Other circumstances indicate that action is necessary 
to effectuate the purposes of sections 65B.41 to 65B.71. 
    Subd. 3.  [SECURITY NOT REQUIRED.] No owner of a boat, 
snowmobile, or utility trailer registered for a gross weight of

public safety to furnish evidence that the security required by 
section 65B.48 has been provided. 
    Sec. 9.  [169.799] [OBLIGOR'S NOTIFICATION OF LAPSE, 
CANCELLATION, OR FAILURE TO RENEW POLICY OF COVERAGE.] 
    If the required plan of reparation security of an owner or 
named insured is canceled, and notification of such fact is 
given to the insured as required by section 65B.19, a copy of 
such notice shall within 30 days after coverage has expired be 
sent to the commissioner of public safety.  If, on or before the 
end of that 30-day period, the insured owner of a vehicle has 
not presented the commissioner of public safety or an authorized 
agent with evidence of required security which shall have taken 
effect upon the expiration of the previous coverage, or if the 
insured owner or registrant has not instituted an objection to 
the obligor's cancellation under section 65B.21, within the time 
limitations therein specified, the insured owner or registrant 
shall immediately surrender the registration certificate and 
vehicle license plates to the commissioner of public safety and 
may not operate or permit operation of the vehicle in this state 
until security is again provided and proof of security furnished 
as required by sections 65B.41 to 65B.71. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 171.19, is 
amended to read: 
    171.19 [PETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT OF LICENSES.] 
    Any person whose driver's license has been refused, 
revoked, suspended, or canceled by the commissioner, except 
where the license is revoked under section 169.123, may file a 
petition for a hearing in the matter in the district court in 
the county wherein such person shall reside and, in the case of 
a nonresident, in the district court in any county, and such 
court is hereby vested with jurisdiction, and it shall be its 
duty, to set the matter for hearing upon 15 days' written notice 
to the commissioner, and thereupon to take testimony and examine 
into the facts of the case to determine whether the petitioner 
is entitled to a license or is subject to revocation, 
suspension, cancellation, or refusal of license, under the 
provisions of this chapter, and shall render judgment 
accordingly.  The petition shall be heard by the court without a 
jury and may be heard in or out of term.  The commissioner may 
appear in person, or by agents or representatives, and may 
present evidence upon the hearing by affidavit personally, by 
agents, or by representatives.  The petitioner may present 
evidence by affidavit, except that the petitioner must be 
present in person at such hearing for the purpose of 
cross-examination.  In the event the department shall be 
sustained in these proceedings, the petitioner shall have no 
further right to make further petition to any court for the 
purpose of obtaining a driver's license until after the 
expiration of one year after the date of such hearing.  
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
171.29, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [EXAMINATION REQUIRED.] No person whose 
driver's license has been revoked by reason of conviction, plea 
of guilty, or forfeiture of bail not vacated, under 
section 169.791, 169.797, or 171.17 or 65B.67, or revoked under 
section 169.123 or 169.792 shall be issued another license 
unless and until that person shall have successfully passed an 
examination as required for an initial license.  This 
subdivision does not apply to an applicant for early 
reinstatement under section 169.792, subdivision 7a. 
    Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 
171.30, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [CONDITIONS OF ISSUANCE.] In any case where 
a person's license has been suspended under section 171.18 or 
revoked under section 65B.67, 169.121, 169.123, 
169.792, 169.797, or 171.17, the commissioner may issue a 
limited license to the driver including under the following 
conditions:  
    (1) if the driver's livelihood or attendance at a chemical 
dependency treatment or counseling program depends upon the use 
of the driver's license; 
    (2) if the use of a driver's license by a homemaker is 
necessary to prevent the substantial disruption of the 
education, medical, or nutritional needs of the family of the 
homemaker; or 
    (3) if attendance at a post-secondary institution of 
education by an enrolled student of that institution depends 
upon the use of the driver's license.  
    The commissioner in issuing a limited license may impose 
such conditions and limitations as in the commissioner's 
judgment are necessary to the interests of the public safety and 
welfare including reexamination as to the driver's 
qualifications.  The license may be limited to the operation of 
particular vehicles, to particular classes and times of 
operation and to particular conditions of traffic.  The 
commissioner may require that an applicant for a limited license 
affirmatively demonstrate that use of public transportation or 
carpooling as an alternative to a limited license would be a 
significant hardship.  
    For purposes of this subdivision, "homemaker" refers to the 
person primarily performing the domestic tasks in a household of 
residents consisting of at least the person and the person's 
dependent child or other dependents. 
    The limited license issued by the commissioner shall 
clearly indicate the limitations imposed and the driver 
operating under the limited license shall have the license in 
possession at all times when operating as a driver. 
    In determining whether to issue a limited license, the 
commissioner shall consider the number and the seriousness of 
prior convictions and the entire driving record of the driver 
and shall consider the number of miles driven by the driver 
annually. 
    If the person's driver's license or permit to drive, or 
nonresident operating privileges, have has been revoked under 
section 65B.67 or 169.792, the commissioner may only issue a 
limited license to the person after the person has presented an 
insurance identification card, policy, or written statement 
indicating that the driver or owner has insurance coverage 
satisfactory to the commissioner of public safety.  The 
commissioner of public safety may require the insurance 
identification card provided to satisfy this subdivision be 
certified by the insurance company to be noncancelable for a 
period not to exceed 12 months. 
    Sec. 13.  [INSTRUCTION TO REVISOR.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [CROSS-REFERENCES.] The revisor of statutes 
shall make necessary cross-reference changes in statutes and 
rules, consistent with the renumbering and recodification of 
sections 65B.67 as 169.797, 65B.68 as 169.798, and 65B.69 as 
169.799. 
     Subd. 2.  [REORDERING.] The revisor of statutes shall 
reorder the paragraphs of section 169.791, subdivision 1, as 
amended by this act, so that the definitions appear in 
alphabetical order.  The revisor shall also make necessary 
cross-reference changes in statutes and rules consistent with 
the reordering.  
    Sec. 14.  [REPEALER.] 
    Minnesota Statutes 1990, sections 65B.67; 65B.68; 65B.69; 
and 169.792, subdivision 9; and Minnesota Statutes 1991 
Supplement, section 168.041, subdivision 1a, are repealed.

                              PUBLIC SAFETY
    Section 1.  [169.7995] [CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO 
PRODUCE RENTAL OR LEASE AGREEMENT.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] As used in this section: 
    (1) "rental or lease agreement" means a written agreement 
to rent or lease a motor vehicle that contains the name, 
address, and driver's license number of the renter or lessee; 
and 
    (2) "person" has the meaning given the term in section 
645.44, subdivision 7. 
    Subd. 2.  [REQUIREMENT.] Every person who rents or leases a 
motor vehicle in this state for a time period of less than 180 
days shall have the rental or lease agreement covering the 
vehicle in possession at all times when operating the vehicle 
and shall produce it upon the demand of a peace officer.  If the 
person is unable to produce the rental or lease agreement upon 
the demand of a peace officer, the person shall, within 14 days 
after the demand, produce the rental or lease agreement to the 
place stated in the notice provided by the peace officer.  The 
rental or lease agreement may be mailed by the person as long as 
it is received within 14 days. 
    Subd. 3.  [PENALTY.] A person who fails to produce a rental 
or lease agreement as required by this section is guilty of a 
misdemeanor.  The peace officer may mail the citation to the 
address given by the person or to the address stated on the 
driver's license, and this service by mail is valid 
notwithstanding section 629.34.  It is not a defense that the 
person failed to notify the department of public safety of a 
change of name or address as required under section 171.11.  The 
citation may be sent after the 14-day period. 
    Subd. 4.  [FALSE OR FICTITIOUS RENTAL OR LEASE 
AGREEMENT.] It is a misdemeanor for any person to alter or make 
a fictitious rental or lease agreement, or to display an altered

amended to read: 
    259.11 [ORDER; FILING COPIES.] 
    (a) Upon meeting the requirements of section 259.10, the 
court shall grant the application unless it finds that there is 
an intent to defraud or mislead or in the case of the change of 
a minor child's name, the court finds that such name change is 
not in the best interests of the child.  The court shall set 
forth in the order the name and age of the applicant's spouse 
and each child of the applicant, if any, and shall state a 
description of the lands, if any, in which the applicant and the 
spouse and children, if any, claim to have an interest.  The 
clerk shall file such order, and record the same in the judgment 
book.  If lands be described therein, a certified copy of the 
order shall be filed for record, by the applicant, with the 
county recorder of each county wherein any of the same are 
situated.  Before doing so the clerk shall present the same to 
the county auditor who shall enter the change of name in the 
auditor's official records and note upon the instrument, over an 
official signature, the words "change of name recorded."  Any 
such order shall not be filed, nor any certified copy thereof be 
issued, until the applicant shall have paid to the county 
recorder and clerk the fee required by law.  No application 
shall be denied on the basis of the marital status of the 
applicant. 
    (b) When a person applies for a name change, the court 
shall determine whether the person has been convicted of a 
felony in this or any other state.  If so, the court shall, 
within ten days after the name change application is granted, 
report the name change to the bureau of criminal apprehension.  
The person whose name is changed shall also report the change to 
the bureau of criminal apprehension within ten days.  The court 
granting the name change application must explain this reporting 
duty in its order.  Any person required to report the person's 
name change to the bureau of criminal apprehension who fails to 
report the name change as required under this paragraph is 
guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1991 Supplement, section

in cases where imminent danger of escape exists, shall admit any 
resident attorney retained by or in behalf of the person 
restrained, or whom the restrained person may desire to consult, 
to a private interview at the place of custody.  Such 
custodians, upon request of the person restrained, as soon as 
practicable, and before other proceedings shall be had, shall 
notify any the attorney residing in the county of the request 
for a consultation with the attorney.  At all times through the 
period of custody, whether or not the person restrained has been 
charged, tried, convicted, or is serving an executed sentence, 
reasonable telephone access to the attorney shall be provided to 
the person restrained at no charge to the attorney or to the 
person restrained.  Every officer or person who shall violate 
any provision of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor 
and, in addition to the punishment prescribed therefor shall 
forfeit $100 to the person aggrieved, to be recovered in a civil 
action.
