    Subd. 1a.  [CONSTRUCTION.] Sections 609.531 to 609.5317 
609.5318 must be liberally construed to carry out the following 
remedial purposes: 
    (1) to enforce the law;

    Subd. 4.  [SEIZURE.] Property subject to forfeiture under 
sections 609.531 to 609.5317 609.5318 may be seized by the 
appropriate agency upon process issued by any court having 
jurisdiction over the property.  Property may be seized without 
process if: 
    (1) the seizure is incident to a lawful arrest or a lawful 
search; 
    (2) the property subject to seizure has been the subject of 
a prior judgment in favor of the state in a criminal injunction 
or forfeiture proceeding under this chapter; or 
    (3) the appropriate agency has probable cause to believe 
that the delay occasioned by the necessity to obtain process 
would result in the removal or destruction of the property and 
that:  
    (i) the property was used or is intended to be used in 
commission of a felony; or 
    (ii) the property is dangerous to health or safety.  
    If property is seized without process under clause (3),

action under section 609.5313 as soon as is reasonably possible. 
    Subd. 5.  [RIGHT TO POSSESSION VESTS IMMEDIATELY; CUSTODY 
OF SEIZED PROPERTY.] All right, title, and interest in property 
subject to forfeiture under sections 609.531 to 609.5317 
609.5318 vests in the appropriate agency upon commission of the 
act or omission giving rise to the forfeiture.  Any property 
seized under sections 609.531 to 609.5316 609.5318 is not 
subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the custody of the 
appropriate agency subject to the orders and decrees of the 
court having jurisdiction over the forfeiture proceedings.  When 
property is so seized, the appropriate agency may:  
    (1) place the property under seal; 
    (2) remove the property to a place designated by it; 
    (3) in the case of controlled substances, require the state 
board of pharmacy to take custody of the property and remove it 
to an appropriate location for disposition in accordance with 
law; and 
    (4) take other steps reasonable and necessary to secure the 
property and prevent waste.  
    Subd. 5a.  [BOND BY OWNER FOR POSSESSION.] If the owner of 
property that has been seized under sections 609.531 to 609.5317 
609.5318 seeks possession of the property before the forfeiture 
action is determined, the owner may, subject to the approval of 
the appropriate agency, give security or post bond payable to 
the appropriate agency in an amount equal to the retail value of 
the seized property.  On posting the security or bond, the 
seized property must be returned to the owner and the forfeiture 
action shall proceed against the security as if it were the 
seized property.  This subdivision does not apply to contraband 
property.  
    Subd. 6a.  [FORFEITURE A CIVIL PROCEDURE; CONVICTION 
RESULTS IN PRESUMPTION.] (a) An action for forfeiture is a civil 
in rem action and is independent of any criminal prosecution, 
except as provided in this subdivision and section 609.5318.  
The appropriate agency handling the forfeiture has the benefit 
of the evidentiary presumption of section 609.5314, subdivision 
1, but otherwise bears the burden of proving the act or omission 
giving rise to the forfeiture by clear and convincing evidence, 
except that in cases arising under section 609.5312, the 
designated offense may only be established by a felony level 
criminal conviction.  
    (b) A court may not issue an order of forfeiture under 
section 609.5311 while the alleged owner of the property is in 
custody and related criminal proceedings are pending against the 
alleged owner.  For forfeiture of a motor vehicle, the alleged 
owner is the registered owner according to records of the 
department of public safety.  For real property, the alleged 
owner is the owner of record.  For other property, the alleged 
owner is the person notified by the prosecuting authority in 
filing the forfeiture action. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.5311, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [LIMITATIONS ON FORFEITURE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY 
ASSOCIATED WITH CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES.] (a) A conveyance device 
is subject to forfeiture under this section only if the retail 
value of the controlled substance is $25 or more and the 
conveyance device is associated with a felony-level controlled 
substance crime. 
    (b) Real property is subject to forfeiture under this 
section only if the retail value of the controlled substance or 
contraband is $1,000 or more. 
    (c) Property used by any person as a common carrier in the 
transaction of business as a common carrier is subject to 
forfeiture under this section only if the owner of the property 
is a consenting party to, or is privy to, the use or intended 
use of the property as described in subdivision 2. 
    (d) Property is subject to forfeiture under this section 
only if its owner was privy to the use or intended use described 
in subdivision 2, or the unlawful use or intended use of the 
property otherwise occurred with the owner's knowledge or 
consent. 
    (e) Forfeiture under this section of a conveyance device or 
real property encumbered by a bona fide security interest is 
subject to the interest of the secured party unless the secured 
party had knowledge of or consented to the act or omission upon 
which the forfeiture is based.  A person claiming a security 
interest bears the burden of establishing that interest by clear 
and convincing evidence.  
    (f) Notwithstanding paragraphs (d) and (e), property is not 
subject to forfeiture based solely on the owner's or secured 
party's knowledge of the unlawful use or intended use of the 
property if:  (1) if the owner or secured party took reasonable 
steps to terminate use of the property by the offender; or (2) 
the property is real property owned by the parent of the 
offender, unless the parent actively participated in, or 
knowingly acquiesced to, a violation of chapter 152, or the real 
property constitutes proceeds derived from or traceable to a use 
described in subdivision 2.

subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [LIMITATIONS ON FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY ASSOCIATED 
WITH DESIGNATED OFFENSES.] (a) Property used by a person as a 
common carrier in the transaction of business as a common 
carrier is subject to forfeiture under this section only if the 
owner of the property is a consenting party to, or is privy to, 
the commission of a designated offense. 
    (b) Property is subject to forfeiture under this 
subdivision section only if the owner was privy to the act or 
omission upon which the forfeiture is based, or the act or 
omission occurred with the owner's knowledge or consent. 
    (c) Property encumbered by a bona fide security interest is 
subject to the interest of the secured party unless the party 
had knowledge of or consented to the act or omission upon which 
the forfeiture is based.  A person claiming a security interest 
bears the burden of establishing that interest by clear and 
convincing evidence. 
    (d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c), property is not 
subject to forfeiture based solely on the owner's or secured 
party's knowledge of the act or omission upon which the 
forfeiture is based if the owner or secured party took 
reasonable steps to terminate use of the property by the 
offender. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.5314,

equipment or devices; or 
    (iii) forfeitable records of manufacture or distribution of

amount of controlled substance is seized; or 
    (iii) on the premises where a controlled substance is 
seized and in proximity to the controlled substance, if 
possession or sale of the controlled substance would be a felony 
under chapter 152. 
    (b) A claimant of the property bears the burden to rebut 
this presumption. 
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.5314, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [JUDICIAL DETERMINATION.] (a) Within 60 days 
following service of a notice of seizure and forfeiture under 
this section, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial 
determination of the forfeiture.  The demand must be in the form 
of a civil complaint and must be filed with the court 
administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, 
together with proof of service of a copy of the complaint on the 
county attorney for that county, and the standard filing fee for 
civil actions unless the petitioner has the right to sue in 
forma pauperis under section 563.01.  If the value of the seized 
property is less than $500, the claimant may file an action in 
conciliation court for recovery of the seized property without 
paying the conciliation court filing fee.  No responsive 
pleading is required of the county attorney and no court fees 
may be charged for the county attorney's appearance in the 
matter.  The proceedings are governed by the rules of civil 
procedure. 
     (b) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the 
claimant as plaintiff, and the seized property as defendant, and 
must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
alleges the property was improperly seized and stating the 
plaintiff's interest in the property seized.  Notwithstanding 
any law to the contrary, an action for the return of property 
seized under this section may not be maintained by or on behalf 
of any person who has been served with a notice of seizure and 
forfeiture unless the person has complied with this subdivision. 
    (c) If the claimant makes a timely demand for judicial 
determination under this subdivision, the appropriate agency 
must conduct the forfeiture under section 609.531, subdivision 
6a. 
    (d) If a demand for judicial determination of an 
administrative forfeiture is filed under this subdivision and 
the court orders the return of the seized property, the court 
shall order that filing fees be reimbursed to the person who 
filed the demand.  In addition, the court may order the payment 
of reasonable costs, expenses, and attorney fees under section 
549.21, subdivision 2.  If the court orders payment of these 
costs, they must be paid from forfeited money or proceeds from 
the sale of forfeited property from the appropriate law 
enforcement and prosecuting agencies in the same proportion as 
they would be distributed under section 609.5315, subdivision 5. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.5315, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [DISPOSITION.] If the court finds under 
section 609.5313, or 609.5314, or 609.5318 that the property is 
subject to forfeiture, it shall order the appropriate agency to: 
    (1) sell property that is not required to be destroyed by 
law and is not harmful to the public and distribute the proceeds 
under subdivision 5; 
    (2) take custody of the property and remove it for 
disposition in accordance with law; 
    (3) forward the property to the federal drug enforcement 
administration; 
    (4) disburse money as provided under subdivision 5; or 
    (5) keep property other than money for official use by the 
agency and the prosecuting agency.

PROPERTY.] If property is forfeited administratively under 
section 609.5314 or 609.5318 and no demand for judicial 
determination is made, the appropriate agency may dispose of the 
property in any of the ways listed in subdivision 1. 
    Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.5315, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS OF THE OFFENSE.] 
Property that consists of proceeds derived from or traced to the 
commission of a designated offense or a violation of section 
609.66, subdivision 1e, must be applied first to payment of 
seizure, storage, forfeiture, and sale expenses, and to satisfy 
valid liens against the property; and second, to any 
court-ordered restitution before being disbursed as provided 
under subdivision 5. 
    Sec. 13.  [609.5318] [FORFEITURE OF VEHICLES USED IN 
DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [MOTOR VEHICLES SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE.] A 
motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this section if the 
prosecutor establishes by clear and convincing evidence that the 
vehicle was used in a violation of section 609.66, subdivision 
1e.  The prosecutor need not establish that any individual was 
convicted of the violation, but a conviction of the owner for a 
violation of section 609.66, subdivision 1e, creates a 
presumption that the device was used in the violation. 
    Subd. 2.  [NOTICE.] The registered owner of the vehicle 
must be notified of the seizure and intent to forfeit the 
vehicle within seven days after the seizure.  Notice by 
certified mail to the address shown in department of public 
safety records is deemed to be sufficient notice to the 
registered owner.  Notice must be given in the manner required 
by section 609.5314, subdivision 2, paragraph (b), and must 
specify that a request for a judicial determination of the 
forfeiture must be made within 60 days following the service of 
the notice.  If related criminal proceedings are pending, the 
notice must also state that a request for a judicial 
determination of the forfeiture must be made within 60 days 
following the conclusion of those proceedings. 
    Subd. 3.  [HEARING] (a) Within 60 days following service of 
a notice of seizure and forfeiture, a claimant may demand a 
judicial determination of the forfeiture.  If a related criminal 
proceeding is pending, the 60-day period begins to run at the 
conclusion of those proceedings.  The demand must be in the form 
of a civil complaint as provided in section 609.5314, 
subdivision 3, except as otherwise provided in this section. 
    (b) If the claimant makes a timely demand for judicial 
determination under this subdivision, the appropriate agency 
must conduct the forfeiture under subdivision 4. 
    Subd. 4.  [PROCEDURE.] (a) If a judicial determination of 
the forfeiture is requested, a separate complaint must be filed 
against the vehicle, stating the specific act giving rise to the 
forfeiture and the date, time, and place of the act.  The action 
must be captioned in the name of the county attorney or the 
county attorney's designee as plaintiff and the property as 
defendant. 
    (b) If a demand for judicial determination of an 
administrative forfeiture is filed and the court orders the 
return of the seized property, the court shall order that filing 
fees be reimbursed to the person who filed the demand.  In 
addition, the court may order the payment of reasonable costs, 
expenses, attorney fees, and towing and storage fees.  If the 
court orders payment of these costs, they must be paid from 
forfeited money or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property 
from the appropriate law enforcement and prosecuting agencies in 
the same proportion as they would be distributed under section 
609.5315, subdivision 5. 
    Subd. 5.  [LIMITATIONS.] (a) A vehicle used by a person as 
a common carrier in the transaction of business as a common 
carrier is subject to forfeiture under this section only if the 
owner is a consenting party to, or is privy to, the commission 
of the act giving rise to the forfeiture. 
    (b) A vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this section 
only if the registered owner was privy to the act upon which the 
forfeiture is based, the act occurred with the owner's knowledge 
or consent, or the act occurred due to the owner's gross 
negligence in allowing another to use the vehicle. 
    (c) A vehicle encumbered by a bona fide security interest 
is subject to the interest of the secured party unless the party 
had knowledge of or consented to the act upon which the 
forfeiture is based.  A person claiming a security interest 
bears the burden of establishing that interest by clear and 
convincing evidence.

amended by adding a subdivision to read:

cause. 
    (d) A peace officer may arrest a person without a warrant

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 decision on custody and 
visitation shall in no way delay the issuance of an order for 
protection granting other reliefs provided for in 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

     (5) provide upon request of the petitioner counseling or 
other social services for the parties, if married, or if there 
are minor children;

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; 
    (9) order the abusing party to pay restitution to the 
petitioner; and 
    (10) order the continuance of all currently available 
insurance coverage without change in coverage or beneficiary 
designation; and 
    (11) 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 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. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, 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; and 
    (4) continuing all currently available insurance coverage 
without change in coverage or beneficiary designation. 
    (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 (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. 
    (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. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 518B.01, 
subdivision 9, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 9.  [ASSISTANCE OF SHERIFF IN SERVICE OR EXECUTION.] 
When an order is issued under this section upon request of the 
petitioner, the court shall order the sheriff or constable to 
accompany the petitioner and assist in placing the petitioner in 
possession of the dwelling or residence, or otherwise assist in 
execution or service of the order of protection.  If the 
application for relief is brought in a county in which the 
respondent is not present, the sheriff shall forward the 
pleadings necessary for service upon the respondent to the 
sheriff of the county in which the respondent is present.  This 
transmittal must be expedited to allow for timely service. 
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, 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 five years after being discharged from sentence for a 
previous conviction under this paragraph or within two five 
years after being discharged from sentence for a previous 
conviction under a similar law of another state, is guilty of a 
gross misdemeanor. 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 shall 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 paragraph (b).  
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.13, is

purposes of determining the penalty for a subsequent offense.

incidents.  In the development of a policy, each law enforcement 
agency shall consult with domestic abuse advocates, community 
organizations, and other law enforcement agencies with expertise 
in the recognition and handling of domestic abuse incidents.  
The policy shall discourage dual arrests, include consideration 
of whether one of the parties acted in self defense, and provide 
guidance to officers concerning instances in which officers 
should remain at the scene of a domestic abuse incident until 
the likelihood of further imminent violence has been eliminated. 
    (b) The bureau of criminal apprehension, the board of peace 
officer standards and training, and the battered women's 
advisory council appointed by the commissioner of corrections

of police association, the Minnesota sheriffs association, and 
the Minnesota police and peace officers association, shall 
develop a written model policy regarding arrest procedures for 
domestic abuse incidents for use by local law enforcement 
agencies.  Each law enforcement agency may adopt the model 
policy in lieu of developing its own policy under the provisions 
of paragraph (a). 
     (c) Local law enforcement agencies that have already 
developed a written policy regarding arrest procedures for 
domestic abuse incidents before July 1, 1992, are not required 
to develop a new policy but must review their policies and 
consider the written model policy developed under paragraph (b). 
    Sec. 31.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 629.72, is 
amended to read: 
    629.72 [BAIL IN CASES OF DOMESTIC ASSAULT OR HARASSMENT.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [ALLOWING DETENTION IN LIEU OF CITATION; 
RELEASE.] Notwithstanding any other law or rule, an arresting 
officer may not issue a citation in lieu of arrest and detention 
to an individual charged with harassment or charged with 
assaulting the individual's spouse or other individual with whom 
the charged person resides. 
    Notwithstanding any other law or rule, an individual who is 
arrested on a charge of harassing any person or of assaulting 
the individual's spouse or other person with whom the individual 
resides must be brought to the police station or county jail.  
The officer in charge of the police station or the county 
sheriff in charge of the jail shall issue a citation in lieu of 
continued detention unless it reasonably appears to the officer 
or sheriff that detention is necessary to prevent bodily harm to 
the arrested person or another, or there is a substantial 
likelihood the arrested person will fail to respond to a 
citation. 
    If the arrested person is not issued a citation by the 
officer in charge of the police station or the county sheriff, 
the arrested person must be brought before the nearest available 
judge of the county district court or county municipal court in 
the county in which the alleged harassment or assault took place 
without unnecessary delay as provided by court rule. 
    Subd. 2.  [JUDICIAL REVIEW; RELEASE; BAIL.] (a) The judge 
before whom the arrested person is brought shall review the 
facts surrounding the arrest and detention.  The arrested person 
must be ordered released pending trial or hearing on the 
person's personal recognizance or on an order to appear or upon 
the execution of an unsecured bond in a specified amount unless 
the judge determines that release (1) will be inimical to public 
safety, (2) will create a threat of bodily harm to the arrested 
person, the victim of the alleged harassment or assault, or 
another, or (3) will not reasonably assure the appearance of the 
arrested person at subsequent proceedings.  
    (b) If the judge determines release is not advisable, the 
judge may impose any conditions of release that will reasonably 
assure the appearance of the person for subsequent proceedings, 
or will protect the victim of the alleged harassment or assault, 
or may fix the amount of money bail without other conditions 
upon which the arrested person may obtain release.  If 
conditions of release are imposed, the judge shall issue a 
written order for conditional release.  The court administrator 
shall immediately distribute a copy of the order for conditional 
release to the agency having custody of the arrested person and 
shall provide the agency having custody of the arrested person 
with any available information on the location of the victim in 
a manner that protects the victim's safety.  Either the court or 
its designee or the agency having custody of the arrested person 
shall serve upon the defendant a copy of the order.  Failure to 
serve the arrested person with a copy of the order for 
conditional release does not invalidate the conditions of 
release. 
    (c) If the judge imposes as a condition of release a 
requirement that the person have no contact with the victim of 
the alleged harassment or assault, the judge may also, on its 
own motion or that of the prosecutor or on request of the 
victim, issue an ex parte temporary restraining order under 
section 609.748, subdivision 4, or an ex parte temporary order 
for protection under section 518B.01, subdivision 7.  
Notwithstanding section 518B.01, subdivision 7, paragraph 
(b), or 609.748, subdivision 4, paragraph (c), the temporary 
order is effective until the defendant is convicted or 
acquitted, or the charge is dismissed, provided that upon 
request the defendant is entitled to a full hearing on 
the restraining order under section 609.748, subdivision 5, or 
on the order for protection under section 518B.01.  The hearing 
must be held within seven days of the defendant's request. 
    Subd. 2a.  [ELECTRONIC MONITORING AS A CONDITION OF 
PRETRIAL RELEASE.] (a) Until the commissioner of corrections has 
adopted standards governing electronic monitoring devices used 
to protect victims of domestic abuse, the court, as a condition 
of release, may not order a person arrested for a crime 
described in section 609.135, subdivision 5a, paragraph (b), to 
use an electronic monitoring device to protect a victim's safety.
    (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), district courts in the 
tenth judicial district may order, as a condition of a release, 
a person arrested on a charge of a crime described in section 
609.135, subdivision 5a, paragraph (b), to use an electronic 
monitoring device to protect the victim's safety.  The courts 
shall make data on the use of electronic monitoring devices to 
protect a victim's safety in the tenth judicial district 
available to the commissioner of corrections to evaluate and to 
aid in development of standards for the use of devices to 
protect victims of domestic abuse.  
    Subd. 3.  [RELEASE.] If the arrested person is not issued a 
citation by the officer in charge of the police station or the 
county sheriff pursuant to subdivision 1, and is not brought 
before a judge within the time limits prescribed by court rule, 
the arrested person must shall be released by the arresting 
authorities, and a citation must be issued in lieu of continued 
detention. 
    Subd. 4.  [SERVICE OF RESTRAINING ORDER OR ORDER FOR 
PROTECTION.] If a restraining order is issued under section 
609.748 or an order for protection is issued under section 
518B.01 while the arrested person is still in detention, the 
order must be served upon the arrested person during detention 
if possible. 
    Subd. 5.  [VIOLATIONS OF CONDITIONS OF RELEASE.] The judge 
who released the arrested person shall issue a warrant directing 
that the person be arrested and taken immediately before the 
judge, if the judge: 
    (1) the judge receives an application alleging that the 
arrested person has violated the conditions of release; and 
    (2) the judge finds that probable cause exists to believe 
that the conditions of release have been violated. 
    Subd. 6.  [NOTICE TO VICTIM REGARDING RELEASE OF ARRESTED 
PERSON.] (a) Immediately after the issuance of a citation in 
lieu of continued detention under subdivision 1, or the entry of 
an order for release under subdivision 2, but before the 
arrested person is released, the agency having custody of the 
arrested person or its designee must make a reasonable and good 
faith effort to inform orally the alleged victim of: 
    (1) the conditions of release, if any; 
    (2) the time of release; 
    (3) the time, date, and place of the next scheduled court 
appearance of the arrested person and the victim's right to be 
present at the court appearance; and 
    (4) if the arrested person is charged with domestic 
assault, the location and telephone number of the area battered 
women's shelter as designated by the department of corrections. 
    (b) As soon as practicable after an order for conditional 
release is entered, the agency having custody of the arrested 
person or its designee must personally deliver or mail to the 
alleged victim a copy of the written order and written notice of 
the information in clauses (2) and (3). 
    Sec. 32.  [TRAINING FOR PROSECUTORS.] 
    By December 31, 1993, the county attorneys association, in 
conjunction with the attorney general's office, shall prepare 
and conduct a training course for county attorneys and city 
attorneys to familiarize them with this act and provide other 
information regarding the prosecution of harassment and stalking 
offenses.  The course may be combined with other training 
conducted by the county attorneys association or other groups. 
    Sec. 33.  [SEVERABILITY.] 
    It is the intent of the legislature that the provisions of 
this article shall be severable as provided in Minnesota 
Statutes, section 645.20. 
    Sec. 34.  [REPEALER.] 
    Minnesota Statutes 1992, sections 609.02, subdivisions 12 
and 13; 609.605, subdivision 3; 609.746, subdivisions 2 and 3; 
609.747; 609.79, subdivision 1a; and 609.795, subdivision 2, are

provision of the sentencing guidelines, the court may provide

    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 260.251,

    Subdivision 1.  [CARE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT.] (a) 
Except where parental rights are terminated, 
     (1) whenever legal custody of a child is transferred by the 
court to a county welfare board, or 
     (2) whenever legal custody is transferred to a person other 
than the county welfare board, but under the supervision of the 
county welfare board, 
     (3) whenever a child is given physical or mental 
examinations or treatment under order of the court, and no 
provision is otherwise made by law for payment for the care, 
examination, or treatment of the child, these costs are a charge 
upon the welfare funds of the county in which proceedings are 
held upon certification of the judge of juvenile court. 
     (b) The court shall order, and the county welfare board 
shall require, the parents or custodian of a child, while the 
child is under the age of 18, to use the total income and 
resources attributable to the child for the period of care, 
examination, or treatment, except for clothing and personal 
needs allowance as provided in section 256B.35, to reimburse the 
county for the cost of care, examination, or treatment.  Income 
and resources attributable to the child include, but are not 
limited to, social security benefits, supplemental security 
income (SSI), veterans benefits, railroad retirement benefits 
and child support.  When the child is over the age of 18, and 
continues to receive care, examination, or treatment, the court 
shall order, and the county welfare board shall require, 
reimbursement from the child for the cost of care, examination, 
or treatment from the income and resources attributable to the 
child less the clothing and personal needs allowance.  
    (c) If the income and resources attributable to the child 
are not enough to reimburse the county for the full cost of the 
care, examination, or treatment, the court shall inquire into 
the ability of the parents to support the child and, after 
giving the parents a reasonable opportunity to be heard, the 
court shall order, and the county welfare board shall require, 
the parents to contribute to the cost of care, examination, or 
treatment of the child.  Except in delinquency cases where the 
victim is a member of the child's immediate family, when 
determining the amount to be contributed by the parents, the 
court shall use a fee schedule based upon ability to pay that is 
established by the county welfare board and approved by the 
commissioner of human services.  In delinquency cases where the 
victim is a member of the child's immediate family, the court 
shall use the fee schedule, but may also take into account the 
seriousness of the offense and any expenses which the parents 
have incurred as a result of the offense.  The income of a 
stepparent who has not adopted a child shall be excluded in 
calculating the parental contribution under this section. 
     (d) The court shall order the amount of reimbursement 
attributable to the parents or custodian, or attributable to the 
child, or attributable to both sources, withheld under chapter 
518 from the income of the parents or the custodian of the 
child.  A parent or custodian who fails to pay without good 
reason may be proceeded against for contempt, or the court may 
inform the county attorney, who shall proceed to collect the 
unpaid sums, or both procedures may be used. 
     (e) If the court orders a physical or mental examination 
for a child, the examination is a medically necessary service 
for purposes of determining whether the service is covered by a 
health insurance policy, health maintenance contract, or other 
health coverage plan.  Court-ordered treatment shall be subject 
to policy, contract, or plan requirements for medical 
necessity.  Nothing in this paragraph changes or eliminates 
benefit limits, conditions of coverage, copayments or 
deductibles, provider restrictions, or other requirements in the 
policy, contract, or plan that relate to coverage of other 
medically necessary services. 
     Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 540.18, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  The parent or guardian of the person of a

severally liable with such minor for such injury or damage to an 
amount not exceeding $500 $1,000, if such minor would have been 
liable for such injury or damage if the minor had been an adult. 
Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to relieve such 
minor from personal liability for such injury or damage.  The 
liability provided in this subdivision is in addition to and not 
in lieu of any other liability which may exist at law.  Recovery 
under this section shall be limited to special damages.

victim impact summary must file the summary with the 
investigating officer no more than five days after the victim 
receives the notice from a peace officer.  If a preliminary 
victim impact statement is filed with the investigating officer, 
it must be sent to the prosecutor with other investigative 
materials.  If a prosecutor has received a preliminary victim 
impact summary, the prosecutor must present the summary to the 
court.  This subdivision does not relieve a probation officer of 
the notice requirements imposed by section 611A.037, subdivision 
2. 
    (b) The initial notice of the rights of crime victims must 
be distributed by a peace officer to each victim, as defined in 
section 611A.01, when the peace officer takes a formal statement 
from the victim.  A peace officer is not obligated to distribute 
the notice if a victim does not make a formal statement at the 
time of initial contact with the victim.  The notice must inform 
a victim of: 
    (1) the victim's right to request restitution under section 
611A.04 apply for reparations to cover losses, not including 
property losses, resulting from a violent crime and the 
telephone number to call to request an application; 
    (2) the victim's right to be notified of any plea 
negotiations under section 611A.03 request that the law 
enforcement agency withhold public access to data revealing the 
victim's identity under section 13.82, subdivision 10, paragraph 
(d);

must be distributed by the city or county attorney's office to 
each victim, within a reasonable time after the offender is 
charged or petitioned.  This notice must inform a victim of all 
the rights of crime victims under this chapter. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.04, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [REQUEST; DECISION.] (a) A victim of a 
crime has the right to receive restitution 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 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 or by other competent evidence.  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 restitution is in the form of money or property.  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 at the sentencing 
or dispositional hearing, all information regarding restitution 
must be received by the court administrator of the appropriate 
court 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.  The court administrator shall provide copies of this 
request to the prosecutor and the offender or the offender's 
attorney at least 24 hours before the sentencing or 
dispositional hearing.  The issue of restitution may be reserved 
or the sentencing or disposition continued if the affidavit or 
other competent evidence is not received in time.  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) information regarding restitution 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 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. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, 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 payment order 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 payment order 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 court administrator shall provide copies of the 
payment order to the prosecutor and the offender or the 
offender's attorney at least 24 hours before the sentencing or 
dispositional hearing.  The issue of restitution may be reserved 
or the sentencing or disposition continued if the payment order 
is not received in time.  The filing of a claim payment order 
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. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.04, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read:

restitution may be enforced by any person named in the order to 
receive the restitution in the same manner as a judgment in a 
civil action.  Filing fees for docketing an order of restitution 
as a civil judgment are waived for any victim named in the 
restitution order.  An order of restitution shall be docketed as 
a civil judgment by the court administrator of the district 
court in the county in which the order of restitution was 
entered.  A juvenile court is not required to appoint a guardian 
ad litem for a juvenile offender before docketing a restitution 
order.  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the 
judgment as provided in section 549.09.  A decision for or 
against restitution in any criminal or juvenile proceeding is 
not a bar to any civil action by the victim or by the state 
pursuant to section 611A.61 against the offender.  The offender 
shall be given credit, in any order for judgment in favor of a 
victim in a civil action, for any restitution paid to the victim 
for the same injuries for which the judgment is awarded.

subdivision 1, is amended to read:

a juvenile correctional facility; released from a facility in 
which the offender was confined due to incompetency, mental 
illness, or mental deficiency, or commitment under section 
253B.18; or transferred from one correctional facility to 
another when the correctional program involves less security to 
a minimum security setting, if the victim has mailed to the 
commissioner of corrections or to the head of the facility in 
which the offender is confined a written request for this 
notice.  The good faith effort to notify the victim must occur 
prior to the release, transfer, or change in security status.  
For a victim of a felony crime against the person for which the 
offender was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of more than 18 
months, the good faith effort to notify the victim must occur 60 
days before the offender's release, transfer, or change in to 
minimum security status.

reaches 18 years old, whichever is the shorter period.  After

subdivision 10, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 10.  [DUTIES OF LOCAL WELFARE AGENCY AND LOCAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY UPON RECEIPT OF A REPORT.] (a) If the report 
alleges neglect, physical abuse, or sexual abuse by a parent, 
guardian, or individual functioning within the family unit as a 
person responsible for the child's care, the local welfare 
agency shall immediately conduct an assessment and offer 
protective social services for purposes of preventing further 
abuses, safeguarding and enhancing the welfare of the abused or 
neglected minor, and preserving family life whenever possible.  
If the report alleges a violation of a criminal statute 
involving sexual abuse or physical abuse, the local law 
enforcement agency and local welfare agency shall coordinate the 
planning and execution of their respective investigation and 
assessment efforts to avoid a duplication of fact-finding 
efforts and multiple interviews.  Each agency shall prepare a 
separate report of the results of its investigation.  When 
necessary the local welfare agency shall seek authority to 
remove the child from the custody of a parent, guardian, or 
adult with whom the child is living.  In performing any of these 
duties, the local welfare agency shall maintain appropriate 
records.  
     (b) When a local agency receives a report or otherwise has 
information indicating that a child who is a client, as defined 
in section 245.91, has been the subject of physical abuse or 
neglect at an agency, facility, or program as defined in section 
245.91, it shall, in addition to its other duties under this 
section, immediately inform the ombudsman established under 
sections 245.91 to 245.97. 
    (c) Authority of the local welfare agency responsible for 
assessing the child abuse report and of the local law 
enforcement agency for investigating the alleged abuse includes, 
but is not limited to, authority to interview, without parental 
consent, the alleged victim and any other minors who currently 
reside with or who have resided with the alleged perpetrator.  
The interview may take place at school or at any facility or 
other place where the alleged victim or other minors might be 
found and or the child may be transported to, and the interview 
conducted at, a place appropriate for the interview of a child 
designated by the local welfare agency or law enforcement 
agency.  The interview may take place outside the presence of 
the perpetrator or parent, legal custodian, guardian, or school 
official.  Except as provided in this paragraph, the parent, 
legal custodian, or guardian shall be notified by the 
responsible local welfare or law enforcement agency no later 
than the conclusion of the investigation or assessment that this 
interview has occurred.  Notwithstanding rule 49.02 of the 
Minnesota rules of procedure for juvenile courts, the juvenile 
court may, after hearing on an ex parte motion by the local 
welfare agency, order that, where reasonable cause exists, the 
agency withhold notification of this interview from the parent, 
legal custodian, or guardian.  If the interview took place or is 
to take place on school property, the order shall specify that 
school officials may not disclose to the parent, legal 
custodian, or guardian the contents of the notification of 
intent to interview the child on school property, as provided 
under this paragraph, and any other related information 
regarding the interview that may be a part of the child's school 
record.  A copy of the order shall be sent by the local welfare 
or law enforcement agency to the appropriate school official. 
     (d) When the local welfare or local law enforcement agency 
determines that an interview should take place on school 
property, written notification of intent to interview the child 
on school property must be received by school officials prior to 
the interview.  The notification shall include the name of the 
child to be interviewed, the purpose of the interview, and a 
reference to the statutory authority to conduct an interview on 
school property.  For interviews conducted by the local welfare 
agency, the notification shall be signed by the chair of the 
county welfare board or the chair's designee.  The notification 
shall be private data on individuals subject to the provisions 
of this paragraph.  School officials may not disclose to the 
parent, legal custodian, or guardian the contents of the 
notification or any other related information regarding the 
interview until notified in writing by the local welfare or law 
enforcement agency that the investigation or assessment has been 
concluded.  Until that time, the local welfare or law 
enforcement agency shall be solely responsible for any 
disclosures regarding the nature of the assessment or 
investigation.  
     Except where the alleged perpetrator is believed to be a 
school official or employee, the time and place, and manner of 
the interview on school premises shall be within the discretion 
of school officials, but the local welfare or law enforcement 
agency shall have the exclusive authority to determine who may 
attend the interview.  The conditions as to time, place, and 
manner of the interview set by the school officials shall be 
reasonable and the interview shall be conducted not more than 24 
hours after the receipt of the notification unless another time 
is considered necessary by agreement between the school 
officials and the local welfare or law enforcement agency.  
Where the school fails to comply with the provisions of this 
paragraph, the juvenile court may order the school to comply.  
Every effort must be made to reduce the disruption of the 
educational program of the child, other students, or school 
staff when an interview is conducted on school premises.  
     (e) Where the perpetrator or a person responsible for the 
care of the alleged victim or other minor prevents access to the 
victim or other minor by the local welfare agency, the juvenile 
court may order the parents, legal custodian, or guardian to 
produce the alleged victim or other minor for questioning by the 
local welfare agency or the local law enforcement agency outside 
the presence of the perpetrator or any person responsible for 
the child's care at reasonable places and times as specified by 
court order.  
     (f) Before making an order under paragraph (d), the court 
shall issue an order to show cause, either upon its own motion 
or upon a verified petition, specifying the basis for the 
requested interviews and fixing the time and place of the 
hearing.  The order to show cause shall be served personally and 
shall be heard in the same manner as provided in other cases in 
the juvenile court.  The court shall consider the need for 
appointment of a guardian ad litem to protect the best interests 
of the child.  If appointed, the guardian ad litem shall be 
present at the hearing on the order to show cause.  
     (g) The commissioner, the ombudsman for mental health and 
mental retardation, the local welfare agencies responsible for 
investigating reports, and the local law enforcement agencies 
have the right to enter facilities as defined in subdivision 2 
and to inspect and copy the facility's records, including 
medical records, as part of the investigation.  Notwithstanding 
the provisions of chapter 13, they also have the right to inform 
the facility under investigation that they are conducting an 
investigation, to disclose to the facility the names of the 
individuals under investigation for abusing or neglecting a 
child, and to provide the facility with a copy of the report and 
the investigative findings.

241.021, subdivision 1, clause (5).  
    (b) By July 1, 1994, the commissioner shall adopt rules

adopted by the commissioner must require all certified programs 
certified under this subdivision to participate in an the sex 
offender program ongoing outcome-based evaluation and quality 
management system project established by the commissioner under 
section 3. 
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 241.67, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 8.  [COMMUNITY-BASED SEX OFFENDER PROGRAM EVALUATION 
PROJECT.] (a) For the purposes of this project, a sex offender 
is an adult who has been convicted, or a juvenile who has been 
adjudicated, for a sex offense or a sex-related offense and has

probation. 
    (b) The commissioner shall develop a long-term project to 
accomplish the following: 
    (1) provide follow-up information on each sex offender for 
a period of three years following the offender's completion of 
or termination from treatment; 
    (2) provide treatment programs in several geographical 
areas in the state;

recommend a fiscally sound plan to provide a coordinated 
statewide system of effective sex offender treatment 
programming; and 
    (4) provide an opportunity to local and regional 
governments, agencies, and programs to establish models of sex 
offender programs that are suited to the needs of that region. 
    (c) The commissioner shall provide the legislature with an

project by October 15 of each year, beginning in 1993. 
    (d) The commissioner shall establish an advisory task force 
consisting of county probation officers from community 
corrections act counties and other counties, court services 
providers, and other interested officials.  The commissioner

    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.23, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [EXCEPTIONS.] Notwithstanding sections 241.26, 
subdivision 5, and 243.24, subdivision 1, the commissioner may 
promulgate rules for the disbursement of funds earned under 
subdivision 1, or other funds in an inmate account, and section 
243.88, subdivision 2,.  The commissioner shall first make 
deductions for the following expenses:  federal and state taxes; 
repayment of advances; gate money as provided in section 243.24; 
and, where applicable, mandatory savings as provided by United

commissioner's rules may then provide for disbursements to be 
made in the following order of priority: 
    (1) for the support of families and dependent relatives of 
the respective inmates,; 
    (2) for the payment of court-ordered restitution,; 
    (3) for payment of fines, surcharges, or other fees

which is not the offense of commitment, including offenses which 
occurred prior to the offense for which the inmate was committed 
to the commissioner.  An inmate of an adult correctional 
facility under the control of the commissioner is subject to 
actions for the enforcement of support obligations and 
reimbursement of any public assistance rendered the dependent 
family and relatives.  The commissioner may conditionally

subdivision and provide for the inmate's detention in a local 
detention facility convenient to the place of the hearing when 
the inmate is not engaged in preparation and defense. 
    Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.05, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 8.  [CONDITIONAL MEDICAL RELEASE.] The commissioner 
may order that an offender be placed on conditional medical 
release before the offender's scheduled supervised release date 
or target release date if the offender suffers from a grave 
illness or medical condition and the release poses no threat to 
the public.  In making the decision to release an offender on 
this status, the commissioner must consider the offender's age 
and medical condition, the health care needs of the offender, 
the offender's custody classification and level of risk of 
violence, the appropriate level of community supervision, and 
alternative placements that may be available for the offender.  
An inmate may not be released under this provision unless the 
commissioner has determined that the inmate's health costs are 
likely to be borne by medical assistance, Medicaid, general 
assistance medical care, veteran's benefits, or by any other 
federal or state medical assistance programs or by the inmate.  
Conditional medical release is governed by provisions relating 
to supervised release except that it may be rescinded without 
hearing by the commissioner if the offender's medical condition 
improves to the extent that the continuation of the conditional 
medical release presents a more serious risk to the public. 
    Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.17, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [OFFENDERS NOT ELIGIBLE.] The following offenders

any other offense involving death or intentional personal 
injury; and 
    (2) offenders who previously were convicted within the 
preceding ten years of an offense described in clause (1) and 
were committed to the custody of the commissioner. 
    Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.172, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read:

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.  Throughout phase I, the commissioner must 
severely restrict the offender's telephone and visitor 
privileges. 
    Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.172, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    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.  Throughout phase II, 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 randomly or for cause, on demand of the supervising agent.  
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, on demand of the 
supervising agent. 
    Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, 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

       (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; 609.345; 609.3451; 609.746,

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 must be experienced in the evaluation and treatment of 
juvenile sex offenders.  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:

     (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.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), any of the 
following grounds of disability, existing at the time when a 
cause of action accrued or arising anytime during the period of 
limitation, shall suspend the running of the period of

shall continue until all are removed. 
    (b) In actions alleging malpractice, error, mistake, or 
failure to cure, whether based on contract or tort, against a 
health care provider, the ground of disability specified in 
paragraph (a), clause (1), suspends the period of limitation 
until the disability is removed.  The suspension may not be 
extended for more than seven years, or for more than one year 
after the disability ceases. 
     For purposes of this paragraph, health care provider means 
a physician, surgeon, dentist, or other health care professional

of the inmate in the procedure shall be those in effect for the 
imposition of other disciplinary sanctions at each state 
correctional institution.

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 executed 
sentence in prison.  The court's explanation shall be included

provided in this subdivision, section 244.04, subdivision 1, or 
244.05.

person or that person's immediate family. 
    The court shall collect the portion of the fine mandated by 
this subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local victim 
assistance program that provides services locally in the county 
in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
remaining 30 percent to the commissioner of finance to be 
credited to the general fund.  If more than one victim 
assistance program serves the county in which the crime was 
committed, the court may designate on a case-by-case basis which 
program will receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to 
the nature of the crime committed, the types of victims served 
by the program, and the funding needs of the program.  If no 
victim assistance program serves that county, the court shall 
forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the commissioner of 
finance to be credited to the general fund.  Fine proceeds 
received by a local victim assistance program must be used to

addition to the surcharge or assessment required by subdivision 
1 and is in addition to any term of imprisonment or restitution

    (d) (c) The court shall collect the fine mandated by this 
subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local drug abuse 
prevention program existing or being implemented in the county 
in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
remaining 30 percent to the state treasurer to be credited to 
the general fund.  If more than one drug abuse prevention 
program serves the county in which the crime was committed, the 
court may designate on a case-by-case basis which program will 
receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to the community 
in which the crime was committed, the funding needs of the 
program, the number of peace officers in each community 
certified to teach the program, and the number of children 
served by the program in each community.  If no drug abuse 
prevention program serves communities in that county, the court 
shall forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the state 
treasurer to be credited to the general fund.  
    (e) (d) The minimum fines required by this subdivision 
shall be collected as are other fines.  Fine proceeds received 
by a local drug abuse prevention program must be used to support 
that program, and may be used for salaries of peace officers

education program must report receipt and use of money generated 
under this subdivision as prescribed by the drug abuse

the court may, without entering a judgment of guilty and with

request by law enforcement, prosecution, or corrections 
authorities, the department shall notify the requesting party of

court order to open it pursuant to this section.  The court 
shall forward a record of any discharge and dismissal under this 
subdivision to the department of public safety who shall make 
and maintain the not public record of it as provided under this 
subdivision.  The discharge or dismissal shall not be deemed a 
conviction for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities 
imposed by law upon conviction of a crime or for any other 
purpose.

meaning given in section 13.02, subdivision 8a.

violation of this section, a violation of section 169.129, or an 
ordinance in conformity with either of them (1) once within five 
years after the first conviction or (2) two or more times within 
ten years after the first conviction, the person must be 
sentenced to a minimum of 30 days imprisonment or to eight hours 
of community work service for each day less than 30 days that 
the person is ordered to serve in jail.  Provided, that if a 
person is convicted of violating this section, section 169.129,

Notwithstanding section 609.135, the above sentence must be 
executed, unless the court departs from the mandatory minimum 
sentence under paragraph (b) or (c). 
     (b) Prior to sentencing the prosecutor may file a motion to 
have the defendant sentenced without regard to the mandatory 
minimum sentence established by this subdivision.  The motion 
must be accompanied by a statement on the record of the reasons 
for it.  When presented with the prosecutor's motion and if it 
finds that substantial mitigating factors exist, the court shall 
sentence the defendant without regard to the mandatory minimum 
term of imprisonment sentence established by this subdivision. 
    (c) The court may, on its own motion, sentence the 
defendant without regard to the mandatory minimum term of 
imprisonment sentence established by this subdivision if it 
finds that substantial mitigating factors exist and if its 
sentencing departure is accompanied by a statement on the record 
of the reasons for it. 
    (d) The court may sentence the defendant without regard to 
the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment sentence established 
by this subdivision if the defendant is sentenced to probation

subdivision is not executed, the court should impose a sentence 
that is proportional to the extent of the offender's prior

safety, the commissioner of corrections may conditionally 
release an inmate to work at paid employment, seek employment, 
or participate in a vocational training or educational program, 
as provided in section 241.26, if the inmate has served at least 
one half of the term of imprisonment as reduced by good time 
earned by the inmate.  
    Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.14, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [SANCTIONS.] The commissioner shall impose severe 
and meaningful sanctions for violating the conditions of an 
intensive community supervision program.  The commissioner shall 
provide for revocation of intensive community supervision of an 
offender who:  
    (1) commits a material violation of or repeatedly fails to 
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 
behavior, attitude, or abuse of alcohol or controlled substances.
The revocation of intensive community supervision is governed by 
the procedures in the commissioner's rules adopted under section 
244.05, subdivision 2. 
    An offender whose intensive community supervision is 
revoked shall be imprisoned for a time period equal to the 
offender's original term of imprisonment, but in no case for 
longer than the time remaining in the offender's sentence.  
"Original Term of imprisonment" means a time period equal to 
two-thirds of the sentence originally executed by the sentencing 
court, minus jail credit, if any.  
    Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.15, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read:

whichever is less.  Phase II lasts for at least one-third of the 
time remaining in the offender's original term of imprisonment 
at the beginning of Phase II.  Phase III lasts for at least 
one-third of the time remaining in the offender's original term 
of imprisonment at the beginning of Phase III.  Phase IV 
continues until the commissioner determines that the offender 
has successfully completed the program or until the offender's 
sentence, minus jail credit, expires, whichever occurs first.

     The court shall collect the portion of the fine mandated by 
this subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local victim 
assistance program that provides services locally in the county 
in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
remaining 30 percent to the commissioner of finance to be 
credited to the general fund.  If more than one victim 
assistance program serves the county in which the crime was 
committed, the court may designate on a case-by-case basis which 
program will receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to 
the nature of the crime committed, the types of victims served 
by the program, and the funding needs of the program.  If no 
victim assistance program serves that county, the court shall

prevention program existing or being implemented in the county 
in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
remaining 30 percent to the state treasurer to be credited to 
the general fund.  If more than one drug abuse prevention 
program serves the county in which the crime was committed, the 
court may designate on a case-by-case basis which program will 
receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to the community 
in which the crime was committed, the funding needs of the 
program, the number of peace officers in each community 
certified to teach the program, and the number of children 
served by the program in each community.  If no drug abuse 
prevention program serves communities in that county, the court 
shall forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the state 
treasurer to be credited to the general fund.  
     (e) The minimum fines required by this subdivision shall be 
collected as are other fines.  Fine proceeds received by a local 
drug abuse prevention program must be used to support that 
program, and may be used for salaries of peace officers 
certified to teach the program.  The drug abuse resistance 
education program must report receipt and use of money generated 
under this subdivision as prescribed by the drug abuse 
resistance education advisory council. 
     (f) As used in this subdivision, "drug abuse prevention

offense listed in subdivision 9 in which the defendant or an 
accomplice, at the time of the offense, used, whether by

employing, a dangerous weapon other than a firearm, or had in 
possession a firearm, shall be committed to the commissioner of 
corrections for a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of not 
less than one year plus one day, nor more than the maximum 
sentence provided by law.  Any defendant convicted of a second 
or subsequent offense in which the defendant or an accomplice, 
at the time of the offense, used a dangerous weapon other than a 
firearm, or had in possession a firearm, shall be committed to 
the commissioner of corrections for a mandatory minimum term of 
imprisonment of not less than three years nor more than the 
maximum sentence provided by law.

    Sec. 24.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.135, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [TERMS AND CONDITIONS.] Except when a 
sentence of life imprisonment is required by law, or when a 
mandatory minimum term of imprisonment sentence is required by 
section 609.11, any court may stay imposition or execution of 
sentence and (a) may order intermediate sanctions without 
placing the defendant on probation, or (b) may place the

intensive probation, sentencing to service, reporting to a day 
reporting center, chemical dependency or mental health treatment 
or counseling, restitution, fines, day-fines, community work 
service, and work in lieu of or to work off fines.

    Sec. 25.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.1352, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [SENTENCING AUTHORITY.] A court shall 
sentence commit a person to a term of imprisonment of the 
commissioner of corrections for a period of time that is 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 for a period of time that is 
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. 
    Sec. 26.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.15, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
