        the commissioner shall charge a per 
        diem under the contract, to the extent 
        possible, that is equal to or greater 
        than the per diem cost of housing 
        Minnesota inmates in the facility.  The 
        per diem cost for housing inmates of 
        other states, local units of 
        government, or the federal government

        assumption that the facility is at or 
        near capacity.  
        The commissioner may use the per diem 
        appropriation, up to $300,000, for the 
        pre-design of the renovation and 1,161

        laws to the contrary, the commissioner 
        may use the remaining per diem 
        appropriation to operate the state 
        correctional system.

        the second year are for an increase in

        will be deposited in the general fund.

        the commissioner of corrections for 
        costs associated with the housing and 
        care of short-term offenders.  The 
        commissioner may use up to 20 percent 
        of the total amount of the 
        appropriation for inpatient medical 
        care for short-term offenders with less 
        than six months to serve as affected by 
        the changes made to Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 609.105, in this act.  The 
        commissioner shall establish and 
        implement policy governing the 
        admission, housing, medical care, and 
        release of this population.  All funds 
        remaining at the end of the fiscal year 
        not expended for inpatient medical care 
        shall be added to and distributed with 
        the housing funds.  These funds shall 
        be distributed proportionately based on 
        the total number of days short-term 
        offenders are placed locally, not to 
        exceed $70 per day.  Short-term 
        offenders may be housed in a state 
        correctional facility at the discretion 
        of the commissioner.  The department of 
        corrections is exempt from the state 
        contracting process for the purposes of 
        the changes made to Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 609.105, in this act.

        The sentencing guidelines commission, 
        in consultation with the commissioner 
        of corrections, shall prepare a report 
        and make recommendations regarding the 
        following drug offender sentencing 
        issues: 
        (1) the evolution of Minnesota's drug 
        sentencing laws, the annual proportion 
        and number of prisoners incarcerated 
        for drug crimes in Minnesota state 
        prisons, the annual cost of 
        incarcerating drug offenders in 
        Minnesota state prisons, the 
        effectiveness of drug courts, and 
        current programs that employ 
        alternatives to incarceration for drug 
        offenders in Minnesota state prisons; 
        (2) the average and the range of 
        criminal history scores for each level 
        of drug offender currently incarcerated 
        in Minnesota state prisons; 
        (3) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
        drug sentencing provisions when 
        compared to sentencing provisions for 
        other crimes in Minnesota; 
        (4) the proportionality of Minnesota's 
        drug sentencing provisions when 
        compared to other states' drug 
        sentencing provisions; 
        (5) the type and quantity of Minnesota 
        correctional resources that are 
        dedicated to all drug offenders; 
        (6) the projected annual cost to the 
        department of corrections of 
        incarcerating all drug offenders in 
        state prisons over the next ten years; 
        (7) the cost savings to the department 
        of corrections by not incarcerating 
        nonviolent drug offenders and sending 
        them to noncustodial drug treatment 
        instead providing that the length of 
        their sentence is not reduced; and 
        (8) the recidivism rate for drug 
        offenders, in Minnesota and other 
        states, who are sent to noncustodial 
        drug treatment rather than 
        incarceration. 
        The sentencing guidelines commission 
        must present the report and 
        recommendations to the chairs and 
        ranking minority members of the house 
        and senate committees having 
        jurisdiction over criminal justice 
        policy and financing by January 15,

                                 PUBLIC DEFENSE
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 270A.03, 
        subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 5.  [DEBT.] "Debt" means a legal obligation of a 
        natural person to pay a fixed and certain amount of money, which 
        equals or exceeds $25 and which is due and payable to a claimant 
        agency.  The term includes criminal fines imposed under section 
        609.10 or 609.125 and restitution.  The term also includes the 
        co-payment for the appointment of a district public defender 
        imposed under section 611.17, paragraph (c).  A debt may arise 
        under a contractual or statutory obligation, a court order, or 
        other legal obligation, but need not have been reduced to 
        judgment.  
           A debt includes any legal obligation of a current recipient 
        of assistance which is based on overpayment of an assistance 
        grant where that payment is based on a client waiver or an 
        administrative or judicial finding of an intentional program 
        violation; or where the debt is owed to a program wherein the 
        debtor is not a client at the time notification is provided to 
        initiate recovery under this chapter and the debtor is not a 
        current recipient of food stamps, transitional child care, or 
        transitional medical assistance. 
           A debt does not include any legal obligation to pay a 
        claimant agency for medical care, including hospitalization if 
        the income of the debtor at the time when the medical care was 
        rendered does not exceed the following amount: 
           (1) for an unmarried debtor, an income of $8,800 or less; 
           (2) for a debtor with one dependent, an income of $11,270 
        or less; 
           (3) for a debtor with two dependents, an income of $13,330 
        or less; 
           (4) for a debtor with three dependents, an income of 
        $15,120 or less; 
           (5) for a debtor with four dependents, an income of $15,950 
        or less; and 
           (6) for a debtor with five or more dependents, an income of 
        $16,630 or less.  
           The income amounts in this subdivision shall be adjusted 
        for inflation for debts incurred in calendar years 2001 and 
        thereafter.  The dollar amount of each income level that applied 
        to debts incurred in the prior year shall be increased in the 
        same manner as provided in section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue 
        Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 2000, except that 
        for the purposes of this subdivision the percentage increase 
        shall be determined from the year starting September 1, 1999, 
        and ending August 31, 2000, as the base year for adjusting for 
        inflation for debts incurred after December 31, 2000. 
           Debt also includes an agreement to pay a MinnesotaCare 
        premium, regardless of the dollar amount of the premium 
        authorized under section 256L.15, subdivision 1a. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective July 1, 2003, 
        and applies to crimes committed on or after that date. 
           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 590.05, is 
        amended to read: 
           590.05 [INDIGENT PETITIONERS.] 
           A person financially unable to obtain counsel who desires 
        to pursue the remedy provided in section 590.01 may apply for 
        representation by the state public defender.  The state public 
        defender shall represent such person under the applicable 
        provisions of sections 611.14 to 611.27, if the person has not 
        already had a direct appeal of the conviction.  If, however, the 
        person pled guilty and received a presumptive sentence or a 
        downward departure in sentence, and the state public defender 
        reviewed the person's case and determined that there was no 
        basis for an appeal of the conviction or of the sentence, then 
        the state public defender may decline to represent the person in 
        a postconviction remedy case.  The state public defender may 
        represent, without charge, all other persons pursuing a 
        postconviction remedy under section 590.01, who are financially 
        unable to obtain counsel.  
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective July 1, 2003. 
           Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 611.14, is 
        amended to read: 
           611.14 [RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION BY PUBLIC DEFENDER.] 
           The following persons who are financially unable to obtain 
        counsel are entitled to be represented by a public defender: 
           (1) a person charged with a felony, gross misdemeanor, or 
        misdemeanor including a person charged under sections 629.01 to 
        629.29; 
           (2) a person appealing from a conviction of a felony or 
        gross misdemeanor, or a person convicted of a felony or gross 
        misdemeanor, who is pursuing a postconviction proceeding and who 
        has not already had a direct appeal of the conviction, but if 
        the person pled guilty and received a presumptive sentence or a 
        downward departure in sentence, and the state public defender 
        reviewed the person's case and determined that there was no 
        basis for an appeal of the conviction or of the sentence, then 
        the state public defender may decline to represent the person in 
        a postconviction remedy case; 
           (3) a person who is entitled to be represented by counsel 
        under section 609.14, subdivision 2; or 
           (4) a minor ten years of age or older who is entitled to be 
        represented by counsel under section 260B.163, subdivision 4, or 
        260C.163, subdivision 3. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective July 1, 2003. 
           Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 611.17, is 
        amended to read: 
           611.17 [FINANCIAL INQUIRY; STATEMENTS; CO-PAYMENT.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [STANDARDS FOR DISTRICT PUBLIC DEFENSE 
        ELIGIBILITY.] (a) Each judicial district must screen 
        requests under paragraph (b) for representation by the district 
        public defender.  A defendant is financially unable to obtain 
        counsel if: 
           (1) the defendant, or any dependent of the defendant who 
        resides in the same household as the defendant, receives 
        means-tested governmental benefits; or 
           (2) the defendant, through any combination of liquid assets 
        and current income, would be unable to pay the reasonable costs 
        charged by private counsel in that judicial district for a 
        defense of the same matter. 
           (b) Upon a request for the appointment of counsel, the 
        court shall make appropriate inquiry into the financial 
        circumstances of the applicant, who shall submit a financial 
        statement under oath or affirmation setting forth the 
        applicant's assets and liabilities, including the value of any 
        real property owned by the applicant, whether homestead or 
        otherwise, less the amount of any encumbrances on the real 
        property, the source or sources of income, and any other 
        information required by the court.  The applicant shall be under 
        a continuing duty while represented by a public defender to 
        disclose any changes in the applicant's financial circumstances 
        that might be relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a 
        public defender.  The state public defender shall furnish 
        appropriate forms for the financial statements.  The forms must 
        contain conspicuous notice of the applicant's continuing duty to 
        disclose to the court changes in the applicant's financial 
        circumstances.  The forms must also contain conspicuous notice 
        of the applicant's obligation to make a co-payment for the 
        services of the district public defender, as specified under 
        paragraph (c).  The information contained in the statement shall 
        be confidential and for the exclusive use of the court and the 
        public defender appointed by the court to represent the 
        applicant except for any prosecution under section 609.48.  A 
        refusal to execute the financial statement or produce financial 
        records constitutes a waiver of the right to the appointment of 
        a public defender.  The court shall not appoint a district 
        public defender to a defendant who is financially able to retain 
        private counsel but refuses to do so. 
           An inquiry to determine financial eligibility of a 
        defendant for the appointment of the district public defender 
        shall be made whenever possible prior to the court appearance 
        and by such persons as the court may direct.  This inquiry may 
        be combined with the pre-release investigation provided for in 
        Minnesota Rule of Criminal Procedure 6.02, subdivision 3.  In no 
        case shall the district public defender be required to perform 
        this inquiry or investigate the defendant's assets or 
        eligibility.  The court has the sole duty to conduct a financial 
        inquiry.  The inquiry must include the following: 
           (1) the liquidity of real estate assets, including the 
        defendant's homestead; 
           (2) any assets that can be readily converted to cash or 
        used to secure a debt; 
           (3) the determination of whether the transfer of an asset 
        is voidable as a fraudulent conveyance; and 
           (4) the value of all property transfers occurring on or 
        after the date of the alleged offense.  The burden is on the 
        accused to show that he or she is financially unable to afford 
        counsel.  Defendants who fail to provide information necessary 
        to determine eligibility shall be deemed ineligible.  The court 
        must not appoint the district public defender as advisory 
        counsel. 
           (c) Upon disposition of the case appointment of the public 
        defender, an individual who has received receives public 
        defender services shall be obligated to pay to the court a $28 
        co-payment for representation provided by a public defender, 
        unless the co-payment is, or has been, waived by the court.  The 
        co-payment shall be according to the following schedule: 
           (1) if the person was charged with a felony, $200; 
           (2) if the person was charged with a gross misdemeanor, 
        $100; or 
           (3) if the person was charged with a misdemeanor, $50. 
           If the person is a child and was appointed counsel under 
        the provisions of section 260B.163, subdivision 4, the parents 
        of the child shall pay to the court a co-payment of $100.  If 
        the person is a parent of a child and the parent was appointed 
        counsel under the provisions of section 260C.163, subdivision 3, 
        the parent shall pay to the court a co-payment of $200. 
           The co-payment shall be deposited in the state general 
        fund.  If a term of probation is imposed as a part of an 
        offender's sentence, the co-payment required by this section 
        must not be made a condition of probation.  The co-payment 
        required by this section is a civil obligation and must not be 
        made a condition of a criminal sentence.  Collection of the 
        co-payment may be made through the provisions of chapter 270A, 
        the Revenue Recapture Act. 
           (d) All public defender co-pay revenue collected under 
        paragraph (c) and revenues less statutory fees collected under 
        chapter 270A shall be deposited in the public defender co-pay 
        account in the special revenue fund. 
           The first $2,740,000 deposited in the public defender 
        co-pay account must be transferred to the general fund.  This is 
        not an annual transfer.  Receipts in excess of the first 
        $2,740,000 are appropriated to the board of public defense for 
        public defender services. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective July 1, 2003, 
        and applies to crimes committed on or after that date. 
           Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 611.18, is 
        amended to read: 
           611.18 [APPOINTMENT OF PUBLIC DEFENDER.] 
           If it appears to a court that a person requesting the 
        appointment of counsel satisfies the requirements of this 
        chapter, the court shall order the appropriate public defender 
        to represent the person at all further stages of the proceeding 
        through appeal, if any.  For a person appealing from a 
        conviction, or a person pursuing a postconviction proceeding and 
        who has not already had a direct appeal of the 
        conviction, according to the standards of sections 611.14 and 
        611.25, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (2), the state 
        public defender shall be appointed.  For a person covered by 
        section 611.14, clause (1), a district public defender shall be 
        appointed to represent that person.  If (a) conflicting 
        interests exist, (b) the district public defender for any other 
        reason is unable to act, or (c) the interests of justice 
        require, the state public defender may be ordered to represent a 
        person.  When the state public defender is directed by a court 
        to represent a defendant or other person, the state public 
        defender may assign the representation to any district public 
        defender.  If at any stage of the proceedings, including an 
        appeal, the court finds that the defendant is financially unable 
        to pay counsel whom the defendant had retained, the court may 
        appoint the appropriate public defender to represent the 
        defendant, as provided in this section.  Prior to any court 
        appearance, a public defender may represent a person accused of 
        violating the law, who appears to be financially unable to 
        obtain counsel, and shall continue to represent the person 
        unless it is subsequently determined that the person is 
        financially able to obtain counsel.  The representation may be 
        made available at the discretion of the public defender, upon 
        the request of the person or someone on the person's behalf.  
        Any law enforcement officer may notify the public defender of 
        the arrest of any such person. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective July 1, 2003. 
           Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 611.25, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [REPRESENTATION.] (a) The state public 
        defender shall represent, without charge: 
           (1) a defendant or other person appealing from a conviction 
        of a felony or gross misdemeanor; 
           (2) a person convicted of a felony or gross misdemeanor who 
        is pursuing a postconviction proceeding and who has not already 
        had a direct appeal of the conviction, but if the person pled 
        guilty and received a presumptive sentence or a downward 
        departure in sentence, and the state public defender reviewed 
        the person's case and determined that there was no basis for an 
        appeal of the conviction or of the sentence, then the state 
        public defender may decline to represent the person in a 
        postconviction remedy case; and 
           (3) a child who is appealing from a delinquency 
        adjudication or from an extended jurisdiction juvenile 
        conviction. 
           (b) The state public defender may represent, without 
        charge, all other persons pursuing a postconviction remedy under 
        section 590.01, who are financially unable to obtain counsel.  
           (c) The state public defender shall represent any other 
        person, who is financially unable to obtain counsel, when 
        directed to do so by the supreme court or the court of appeals, 
        except that the state public defender shall not represent a 
        person in any action or proceeding in which a party is seeking a 
        monetary judgment, recovery or award.  When requested by a 
        district public defender or appointed counsel, the state public 
        defender may assist the district public defender, appointed 
        counsel, or an organization designated in section 611.216 in the 
        performance of duties, including trial representation in matters 
        involving legal conflicts of interest or other special 
        circumstances, and assistance with legal research and brief 
        preparation.  When the state public defender is directed by a 
        court to represent a defendant or other person, the state public 
        defender may assign the representation to any district public 
        defender.

        committing or attempting to commit a felony offense not 
        described in section 609.117, subdivision 1, and was convicted 
        of that offense or of any felony offense arising out of the same

        supervision of staff from the department of corrections or a 
        Community Corrections Act county within 15 business days after

        during the commission of, a violation of section 609.324 or a 
        violation of a local ordinance substantially similar to section 
        609.324.  A motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this

           (1) at the date at which personal service of process upon 
        the registered owner is made; or 
           (2) at the date when the registered owner has been notified 
        by certified mail at the address listed in the Minnesota 
        Department of Public Safety computerized motor vehicle 
        registration records. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2003,

           Subd. 4.  [VEHICLE FORFEITURE FOR FLEEING A PEACE OFFICER.] 
        (a) A motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this 
        subdivision if it was used to commit a violation of section 
        609.487 and endanger life or property.  A motor vehicle is 
        subject to forfeiture under this subdivision only if the offense 
        is established by proof of a criminal conviction for the 
        offense.  Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, a 
        forfeiture under this subdivision is governed by sections 
        609.531, 609.5312, 609.5313, and 609.5315, subdivision 6.

        in subdivision 2; or

        creates or would create an undue hardship for members of the 
        owner's family. 
           (c) If the defendant is acquitted or the charges against 
        the defendant are dismissed, neither the owner nor the defendant 
        is responsible for paying any costs associated with the seizure 
        or storage of the vehicle.

        motorboat as defined in section 169A.03, subdivision 13, is not 
        subject to paragraph (b). 
           (f) For purposes of this subdivision, seizure occurs either:

           Sec. 28.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 624.22, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GENERAL REQUIREMENTS; PERMIT; 
        INVESTIGATION; FEE.] (a) Sections 624.20 to 624.25 do not 
        prohibit the supervised display of fireworks by a statutory or 
        home rule charter city, fair association, amusement park, or 
        other organization, except that: 
           (1) a fireworks display may be conducted only when 
        supervised by an operator certified by the state fire marshal; 
        and 
           (2) a fireworks display must either be given by a 
        municipality or fair association within its own limits, or by 
        any other organization, whether public or private, only after a 
        permit for the display has first been secured.  
           (b) An application for a permit for an outdoor fireworks 
        display must be made in writing to the municipal clerk at least 
        15 days in advance of the date of the display and must list the 
        name of an operator who is certified by the state fire marshal 
        and will supervise the display.  The application must be 
        promptly referred to the chief of the fire department, who shall 
        make an investigation to determine whether the operator of the 
        display is competent and is certified by the state fire marshal, 
        and whether the display is of such a character and is to be so 
        located, discharged, or fired that it will not be hazardous to 
        property or endanger any person.  The fire chief shall report 
        the results of this investigation to the clerk.  If the fire 
        chief reports that the operator is certified, that in the 
        chief's opinion the operator is competent, and that the 
        fireworks display as planned will conform to the safety 
        guidelines of the state fire marshal provided for in 
        paragraph (e) (f), the clerk shall issue a permit for the 
        display when the applicant pays a permit fee.  
           (c) When the supervised outdoor fireworks display for which 
        a permit is sought is to be held outside the limits of an 
        incorporated municipality, the application must be made to the 
        county auditor, and the auditor shall perform duties imposed by 
        sections 624.20 to 624.25 upon the clerk of the municipality.  
        When an application is made to the auditor, the county sheriff 
        shall perform the duties imposed on the fire chief of the 
        municipality by sections 624.20 to 624.25.  
           (d) An application for an indoor fireworks display permit 
        must be made in writing to the state fire marshal by the 
        operator of the facility in which the display is to occur at 
        least 15 days in advance of the date of any performance, show, 
        or event which will include the discharge of fireworks inside a 
        building or structure.  The application must list the name of an 
        operator who is certified by the state fire marshal and will 
        supervise the display.  The state fire marshal shall make an 
        investigation to determine whether the operator of the display 
        is competent and is properly certified and whether the display 
        is of such a character and is to be so located, discharged, or 
        fired that it will not be hazardous to property or endanger any 
        person.  If the state fire marshal determines that the operator 
        is certified and competent, that the indoor fireworks display as 
        planned will conform to the safety guidelines provided for in 
        paragraph (f), and that adequate notice will be given to inform 
        patrons of the indoor fireworks display, the state fire marshal 
        shall issue a permit for the display when the applicant pays an 
        indoor fireworks fee of $150 and reimburses the fire marshal for 
        costs of inspection.  Receipts from the indoor fireworks fee and 
        inspection reimbursements must be deposited in the general fund 
        as a nondedicated receipt.  The state fire marshal may issue a 
        single permit for multiple indoor fireworks displays when all of 
        the displays are to take place at the same venue as part of a 
        series of performances by the same performer or group of 
        performers.  A copy of the application must be promptly conveyed 
        to the chief of the local fire department, who shall make 
        appropriate preparations to ensure public safety in the vicinity 
        of the display.  The operator of a facility where an indoor 
        fireworks display occurs must provide notice in a prominent 
        place as approved by the state fire marshal to inform patrons 
        attending a performance when indoor fireworks will be part of 
        that performance.  The state fire marshal may grant a local fire 
        chief the authority to issue permits for indoor fireworks 
        displays.  Before issuing a permit, a local fire chief must make 
        the determinations required in this paragraph.  
           (e) After a permit has been granted under either paragraph 
        (b) or (d), sales, possession, use and distribution of fireworks 
        for a display are lawful for that purpose only.  A permit is not 
        transferable.  
           (e) (f) The state fire marshal shall adopt and disseminate 
        to political subdivisions rules establishing guidelines on 
        fireworks display safety that are consistent with sections 
        624.20 to 624.25 and the most recent editions of the Minnesota 
        Uniform Fire Code and the National Fire Protection Association 
        Standards, to insure that fireworks displays are given safely.  
        In the guidelines, the state fire marshal shall allow political 
        subdivisions to exempt the use of relatively safe fireworks for 
        theatrical special effects, ceremonial occasions, and other 
        limited purposes, as determined by the state fire marshal. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective the day

           Subdivision 1.  [PILOT PROJECT ESTABLISHED.] The Minnesota 
        alternative policing strategies (MAPS) program is hereby 
        established for the purpose of enhancing community policing 
        efforts throughout the state of Minnesota. 
           Subd. 2.  [GRANT PROGRAM.] The commissioner of public 
        safety shall make grants to up to six law enforcement agencies, 
        consisting of no more than two urban, two suburban, and two 
        rural law enforcement agencies, based upon applications 
        submitted by law enforcement agencies explaining how they will 
        use the grants for enhanced community policing initiatives. 
           Subd. 3.  [ELIGIBILITY FOR GRANT PROGRAM.] (a) To be 
        eligible for a grant under this program, the law enforcement 
        agency must be located in an area with a high crime rate and 
        gang, drug, or prostitution activity.  The agency also must: 
           (1) provide a detailed plan for how the agency will use the 
        grant to promote education and awareness in the community about 
        law enforcement's activities, including providing education and 
        training for both peace officers and the community on community 
        policing initiatives; 
           (2) agree to use a portion of the funding to hire 
        additional peace officers; 
           (3) agree to assign designated peace officers for a period 
        of at least one year to work exclusively in the area where the 
        enhanced community policing efforts will take place; 
           (4) provide a plan for holding community meetings at least 
        monthly with law enforcement, including the designated peace 
        officers, prosecuting authorities, judges with jurisdiction in 
        the area, and community members to further law enforcement 
        outreach efforts; and 
           (5) agree to implement a system in which the designated 
        peace officers will be responsible for as many emergency 911

        offender with a copy of a sanctions conference form explaining 
        the sanctions conference and the offender's options for 
        proceeding.  The offender must stipulate, in writing, that the 
        offender has received a copy of the sanctions conference form 
        and that the offender understands the information contained in 
        the form and the options available to the offender.  The 
        offender also must declare, in writing, the offender's decision 
        to either participate in the sanctions conference or proceed 
        with a judicial hearing. 
           Sec. 3.  [244.198] [PARTICIPATION IN SANCTIONS CONFERENCE.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [ELECTION TO PARTICIPATE.] If the offender 
        elects to participate in the sanctions conference, the county 
        probation officer shall inform the offender, orally and in 
        writing, of the probation violation sanction that the county 
        probation officer is recommending for the technical violation of 
        probation.  The county probation officer shall inform the 
        offender that the probation violation sanction becomes effective 
        upon confirmation by a judge of the district court. 
           Subd. 2.  [REPORT TO DISTRICT COURT.] If the offender 
        elects to participate in the sanctions conference, the county 
        probation officer conducting the sanctions conference shall 
        provide a report to the district court containing: 
           (1) the specific nature of the technical violation of 
        probation; 
           (2) the notice provided to the offender of the technical 
        violation of probation and the scheduling of the sanctions 
        conference;

        that the offender received a copy of the sanctions conference 
        form and understood it; 
           (4) a copy of the offender's written declaration to 
        participate in the sanctions conference; and 
           (5) the recommended probation violation sanction. 
        The recommended probation violation sanction becomes effective 
        when confirmed by a judge.  The order of the court shall be 
        proof of such confirmation. 
           Subd. 3.  [RESPONSE TO DISTRICT COURT ACTION.] (a) Upon the 
        county probation officer's receipt of a confirmed order by the 
        judge, the county probation officer shall notify the offender 
        and the prosecuting authority in writing that the probation 
        violation sanction has been approved by the court. 
           (b) If the court does not confirm the recommendation of the 
        county probation officer, the probation violation sanction shall 
        not go into effect.  The county probation officer shall notify 
        the offender that the court has not confirmed the sanction. 
           (c) If the court does not confirm the recommendation, the 
        county probation officer may ask the court to commence 
        revocation proceedings under section 609.14. 
           Subd. 4.  [APPEAL.] An offender may appeal the judge's 
        confirmation of the probation violation sanction as provided in 
        rule 28.05 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure. 
           Sec. 4.  [244.199] [ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE.] 
           If the offender elects not to participate in the sanctions 
        conference, the county probation officer may ask the court to 
        initiate revocation proceedings or refer the matter to the 
        appropriate prosecuting authority for action under section 
        609.14.  The county probation officer also may take action to 
        apprehend and detain the offender under section 244.195. 
           Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 609.135, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [TERMS AND CONDITIONS.] (a) Except when a 
        sentence of life imprisonment is required by law, or when a 
        mandatory minimum sentence is required by section 609.11, any 
        court may stay imposition or execution of sentence and: 
           (1) may order intermediate sanctions without placing the 
        defendant on probation; or 
           (2) may place the defendant on probation with or without 
        supervision and on the terms the court prescribes, including 
        intermediate sanctions when practicable.  The court may order 
        the supervision to be under the probation officer of the court, 
        or, if there is none and the conviction is for a felony or gross 
        misdemeanor, by the commissioner of corrections, or in any case 
        by some other suitable and consenting person.  Unless the court 
        directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents and 
        probation officers may impose community work service for an 
        offender's or probation violation sanctions, consistent with 
        section 243.05, subdivision 1; 244.19, subdivision 3a sections 
        244.196 to 244.199; or 401.02, subdivision 5. 
           No intermediate sanction may be ordered performed at a 
        location that fails to observe applicable requirements or 
        standards of chapter 181A or 182, or any rule promulgated under 
        them.  
           (b) For purposes of this subdivision, subdivision 6, and 
        section 609.14, the term "intermediate sanctions" includes but 
        is not limited to incarceration in a local jail or workhouse, 
        home detention, electronic monitoring, 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, work 
        service in a restorative justice program, work in lieu of or to 
        work off fines and, with the victim's consent, work in lieu of 
        or to work off restitution.  
           (c) A court may not stay the revocation of the driver's 
        license of a person convicted of violating the provisions of 
        section 169A.20. 
           Sec. 6.  [244.1995] [SANCTIONS CONFERENCE PROCEDURES.] 
           The chief executive officer of a local corrections agency, 
        with approval of the district court, shall develop procedures 
        for the sanctions conference identified in 
        sections 244.196 to 244.199, and develop a sanctions conference 
        form that includes notice to the offender: 
           (1) of the specific court-ordered condition of release that 
        the offender has allegedly violated, the probation officer's 
        authority to ask the court to revoke the offender's probation 
        for the technical violation, and the offender's right to elect 
        to participate in a sanctions conference to address the 
        technical violation in lieu of the probation officer asking the 
        court to revoke the offender's probation; 
           (2) that participation in the sanctions conference is in 
        lieu of a court hearing under section 
        609.14, and that, if the offender elects to participate in the 
        sanctions conference, the offender must admit, or agree not to 
        contest, the alleged technical violation and must waive the 
        right to contest the violation at a judicial hearing, present 
        evidence, call witnesses, cross-examine the state's witnesses, 
        and be represented by counsel; 
           (3) that, if the offender chooses, the offender has a right 
        to a hearing before the court under section 
        609.14, for a determination of whether the offender committed 
        the alleged violation, including the right to be present at the 
        hearing, to cross-examine witnesses, to have witnesses 
        subpoenaed for the offender, to have an attorney present or to 
        have an attorney appointed if the offender cannot afford one, 
        and to require the state to prove the allegations against the 
        offender; 
           (4) that if, after a hearing, the court finds the 
        violations have been proven, the court may continue the 
        sentence, subject to the same, modified, or additional 
        conditions, or order a sanction that may include incarceration, 
        additional fines, revocation of the stay of sentence, imposition 
        of sentence, or other sanctions; 
           (5) that the decision to participate in the sanctions 
        conference will not result in the probation officer recommending 
        revocation of the offender's stay of sentence, unless the 
        offender fails to successfully complete the probation violation 
        sanction; 
           (6) that various types of probation violation sanctions may 
        be imposed and that the probation violation sanctions imposed on 
        the offender will depend on the nature of the technical 
        violation, the offender's criminal history, and the offender's 
        level of supervision; 
           (7) that the probation violation sanctions supplement any 
        existing conditions of release; and 
           (8) that participation in the sanctions conference requires 
        completion of all probation violation sanctions imposed by the 
        probation agency, and that failure to successfully complete the 
        imposed probation violation sanctions could result in additional 
        sanctions or the commencement of revocation proceedings under 
        section 609.14. 
           Sec. 7.  [REPEALER.]

        technical violations of probation that occur on or after that 
        date.

           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 260B.105, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [VENUE.] Except where otherwise provided, 
        venue for any proceedings under section 260B.101 shall be in the 
        county where the child is found, or the county of the child's 
        residence.  If delinquency, a juvenile petty offense, or a 
        juvenile traffic offense is alleged, proceedings shall be 
        brought in the county of residence or the county where the 
        alleged delinquency, juvenile petty offense, or juvenile traffic 
        offense occurred.  
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2003,

           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 260B.105, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [TRANSFER.] The judge of the juvenile court may 
        transfer any proceedings brought under section 260B.101, to the 
        juvenile court of a county having venue as provided in 
        subdivision 1, at any stage of the proceedings and in the 
        following manner.  When it appears that the best interests of 
        the child, society, or the convenience of proceedings will be 
        served by a transfer, the court may transfer the case to the 
        juvenile court of the county of the child's residence.  With the 
        consent of the receiving court, the court may also transfer the 
        case to the juvenile court of the county where the child is 
        found or,.  If delinquency, a juvenile petty offense, or a 
        juvenile traffic offense is alleged, to the county where the 
        alleged delinquency, juvenile petty offense, or juvenile traffic 
        offense occurred the court shall first hear the case and then 
        may transfer the case to the juvenile court of the county of the 
        child's residence for disposition after a finding or admission 
        of guilt.  The court transfers the case by ordering a 
        continuance and by forwarding to the court administrator of the 
        appropriate juvenile court a certified copy of all papers filed, 
        together with an order of transfer.  The judge of the receiving 
        court may accept the findings of the transferring court or may 
        direct the filing of a new petition or notice under section 
        260B.007, subdivision 18, or 260B.143 and hear the case anew.  
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2003, 
        and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.

        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [NOTICE.] When a peace officer has probable 
        cause to believe that a child: 
           (1) is a juvenile petty offender; or 
           (2) has committed a delinquent act that would be a petty 
        misdemeanor or misdemeanor if committed by an adult, 
        the officer may issue a notice to the child to appear in 
        juvenile court in the county in which the child is found or in 
        the county of the child's residence or, in the case of a 
        juvenile petty offense, or a petty misdemeanor or misdemeanor 
        delinquent act, the county in which the offense was committed is 
        alleged to have committed the offense.  The officer shall file a 
        copy of the notice to appear with the juvenile court of the 
        appropriate county.  If a child fails to appear in response to 
        the notice, the court may issue a summons notifying the child of 
        the nature of the offense alleged and the time and place set for 
        the hearing.  If the peace officer finds it necessary to take 
        the child into custody, sections 260B.175 and 260B.176 shall 
        apply. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2003,

           Subd. 5.  [GUARDIAN AD LITEM.] (a) The court shall appoint 
        a guardian ad litem to protect the interests of the minor when 
        it appears, at any stage of the proceedings, that the minor is 
        without a parent or guardian, or that the minor's parent is a 
        minor or incompetent, or that the parent or guardian is 
        indifferent or hostile to the minor's interests, and in every 
        proceeding alleging a child's need for protection or services 
        under section 260C.007, subdivision 6, except proceedings where 
        the sole allegation is that the child is a runaway or habitual 
        truant.  In any other case the court may appoint a guardian ad 
        litem to protect the interests of the minor when the court feels 
        that such an appointment is desirable.  The court shall appoint 
        the guardian ad litem on its own motion or in the manner 
        provided for the appointment of a guardian ad litem in the 
        district court.  The court may appoint separate counsel for the 
        guardian ad litem if necessary.  
           (b) A guardian ad litem shall carry out the following 
        responsibilities: 
           (1) conduct an independent investigation to determine the 
        facts relevant to the situation of the child and the family, 
        which must include, unless specifically excluded by the court, 
        reviewing relevant documents; meeting with and observing the 
        child in the home setting and considering the child's wishes, as 
        appropriate; and interviewing parents, caregivers, and others 
        with knowledge relevant to the case; 
           (2) advocate for the child's best interests by 
        participating in appropriate aspects of the case and advocating 
        for appropriate community services when necessary; 
           (3) maintain the confidentiality of information related to 
        a case, with the exception of sharing information as permitted 
        by law to promote cooperative solutions that are in the best 
        interests of the child; 
           (4) monitor the child's best interests throughout the 
        judicial proceeding; and 
           (5) present written reports on the child's best interests 
        that include conclusions and recommendations and the facts upon 
        which they are based. 
           (c) Except in cases where the child is alleged to have been 
        abused or neglected, the court may waive the appointment of a 
        guardian ad litem pursuant to clause (a), whenever counsel has 
        been appointed pursuant to subdivision 2 or is retained 
        otherwise, and the court is satisfied that the interests of the 
        minor are protected. 
           (d) In appointing a guardian ad litem pursuant to clause 
        (a), the court shall not appoint the party, or any agent or 
        employee thereof, filing a petition pursuant to section 260C.141.
           (e) The following factors shall be considered when 
        appointing a guardian ad litem in a case involving an Indian or 
        minority child: 
           (1) whether a person is available who is the same racial or 
        ethnic heritage as the child or, if that is not possible; 
           (2) whether a person is available who knows and appreciates 
        the child's racial or ethnic heritage.

        entities, this section does not prohibit distribution of money 
        to the specific injured persons or entities on whose behalf the 
        litigation or settlement efforts were initiated.  If money 
        recovered on behalf of injured persons or entities cannot 
        reasonably be distributed to those persons or entities because 
        they cannot readily be located or identified or because the cost 
        of distributing the money would outweigh the benefit to the 
        persons or entities, the money must be paid into the general 
        fund.  
           (b) Money recovered on behalf of a fund in the state 
        treasury other than the general fund may be deposited in that

        distributing money to a person or entity other than the state in 
        litigation or potential litigation in which the state is a 
        defendant or potential defendant. 
           (d) State agencies may accept funds as directed by a 
        federal court for any restitution or monetary penalty under 
        United States Code, title 18, section 3663(a)(3) or United 
        States Code, title 18, section 3663A(a)(3).  Funds received must 
        be deposited in a special revenue account and are appropriated 
        to the commissioner of the agency for the purpose as directed by 
        the federal court.

        corrections agent as soon as the agent is assigned to the 
        person.  If the person does not have an assigned corrections 
        agent or is unable to locate the assigned corrections agent, the 
        person shall register with the law enforcement agency that has 
        jurisdiction in the area of the person's residence.

        person shall give written notice of the new primary living 
        address to the assigned corrections agent or to the law 
        enforcement authority with which the person currently is 
        registered.  If the person will be living in a new state and 
        that state has a registration requirement, the person shall also 
        give written notice of the new address to the designated 
        registration agency in the new state.  A person required to 
        register under this section shall also give written notice to

        authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the person's 
        residence that the person is no longer living or staying at an 
        address, immediately after the person is no longer living or 
        staying at that address.  The corrections agent or law 
        enforcement authority shall, within two business days after 
        receipt of this information, forward it to the bureau of 
        criminal apprehension.  The bureau of criminal apprehension

        person is leaving the state, the bureau of criminal apprehension 
        shall notify the registration authority in the new state of the 
        new address.  If the person's obligation to register arose under

        requirements under this section terminate when the person begins 
        living in the new state.

        paragraph (b), because the person is working or attending school 
        in Minnesota shall register with the law enforcement agency that 
        has jurisdiction in the area where the person works or attends 
        school.  In addition to other information required by this 
        section, the person shall provide the address of the school or 
        of the location where the person is employed.  A person must 
        comply with this paragraph within five days of beginning 
        employment or school.  A person's obligation to register under 
        this paragraph terminates when the person is no longer working 
        or attending school in Minnesota. 
           (d) A person required to register under this section who 
        works or attends school outside of Minnesota shall register as a 
        predatory offender in the state where the person works or 
        attends school.  The person's corrections agent, or if the 
        person does not have an assigned corrections agent, the law 
        enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in the area of the 
        person's residence shall notify the person of this requirement.

        payment of the surcharge in installments. 
           (d) The court administrator or other entity collecting a

           (1) the name of the alleged harassment victim; 
           (2) the name of the respondent; and 
           (3) that the respondent has engaged in harassment. 
        The petition shall be accompanied by an affidavit made under 
        oath stating the specific facts and circumstances from which 
        relief is sought.  The court shall provide simplified forms and 
        clerical assistance to help with the writing and filing of a 
        petition under this section and shall advise the petitioner of 
        the right to sue in forma pauperis under section 563.01.  The 
        court shall advise the petitioner of the right to request a 
        hearing.  If the petitioner does not request a hearing, the 
        court shall advise the petitioner that the respondent may 
        request a hearing and that notice of the hearing date and time 
        will be provided to the petitioner by mail at least five days 
        before the hearing.  Upon receipt of the petition and a request 
        for a hearing by the petitioner, the court shall order a 
        hearing, which must be held not later than 14 days from the date 
        of the order.  Personal service must be made upon the respondent 
        not less than five days before the hearing.  If personal service 
        cannot be completed in time to give the respondent the minimum 
        notice required under this paragraph, the court may set a new 
        hearing date.  Nothing in this section shall be construed as 
        requiring a hearing on a matter that has no merit.  
           (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the order for a hearing 
        and a temporary order issued under subdivision 4 may be served 
        on the respondent by means of a one-week published notice under 
        section 645.11, if: 
           (1) the petitioner files an affidavit with the court 
        stating that an attempt at personal service made by a sheriff 
        was unsuccessful because the respondent is avoiding service by 
        concealment or otherwise; and 
           (2) a copy of the petition and order for hearing and any 
        temporary restraining order has been mailed to the respondent at 
        the respondent's residence or place of business, if the 
        respondent is an organization, or the respondent's residence or 
        place of business is not known to the petitioner. 
           (c) Regardless of the method of service, if the respondent 
        is a juvenile, whenever possible, the court also shall have 
        notice of the pendency of the case and of the time and place of 
        the hearing served by mail at the last known address upon any 
        parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is not the 
        petitioner. 
           (d) A request for a hearing under this subdivision must be 
        made within 45 days of the filing or receipt of the petition. 
           [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2003,

           Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 609.748, 
        subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 4.  [TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.] (a) The court may 
        issue a temporary restraining order ordering the respondent to 
        cease or avoid the harassment of another person or to have no 
        contact with that person if the petitioner files a petition in 
        compliance with subdivision 3 and if the court finds reasonable 
        grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in 
        harassment.  When a petition alleges harassment as defined by 
        subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1), the petition must 
        further allege an immediate and present danger of harassment 
        before the court may issue a temporary restraining order under 
        this section.  
           (b) Notice need not be given to the respondent before the 
        court issues a temporary restraining order under this 
        subdivision.  A copy of the restraining order must be served on 
        the respondent along with the order for hearing and petition, as 
        provided in subdivision 3.  If the respondent is a juvenile, 
        whenever possible, a copy of the restraining order, along with 
        notice of the pendency of the case and the time and place of the 
        hearing, shall also be served by mail at the last known address 
        upon any parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is 
        not the petitioner.  A temporary restraining order may be 
        entered only against the respondent named in the petition.  
           (c) The temporary restraining order is in effect until a 
        hearing is held on the issuance of a restraining order under 
        subdivision 5.  The court shall hold the hearing on the issuance 
        of a restraining order within 14 days after the temporary 
        restraining order is issued unless (1) the time period is 
        extended upon written consent of the parties; or (2) the time 
        period is extended if the petitioner requests a hearing.  The 
        hearing may be continued by the court for one additional 14-day

        the respondent requests a hearing, the hearing shall be

        request.  Service of the notice of hearing must be made upon the

        court shall serve the notice of the hearing upon the petitioner 
        by mail in the manner provided in the rules of civil procedure 
        for pleadings subsequent to a complaint and motions and shall 
        also mail notice of the date and time of the hearing to the 
        respondent.  In the event that service cannot be completed in 
        time to give the respondent or petitioner the minimum notice 
        required under this subdivision, the court may set a new hearing 
        date. 
           (e) A request for a hearing under this subdivision must be 
        made within 45 days after the temporary restraining order is

        restraining order ordering the respondent to cease or avoid the 
        harassment of another person or to have no contact with that 
        person if all of the following occur:  
           (1) the petitioner has filed a petition under subdivision 
        3; 
           (2) the sheriff has served respondent with a copy of the 
        temporary restraining order obtained under subdivision 4, and 
        with notice of the time and place of the right to request a 
        hearing, or service has been made by publication under 
        subdivision 3, paragraph (b); and 
           (3) the court finds at the hearing that there are 
        reasonable grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in 
        harassment.  
        A restraining order may be issued only against the respondent 
        named in the petition; except that if the respondent is an 
        organization, the order may be issued against and apply to all 
        of the members of the organization.  Relief granted by the 
        restraining order must be for a fixed period of not more than 
        two years.  When a referee presides at the hearing on the 
        petition, the restraining order becomes effective upon the 
        referee's signature. 
           (b) An order issued under this subdivision must be 
        personally served upon the respondent.

           (b) "Staggered sentencing" means a sentencing procedure in 
        which the court sentences a person convicted of a gross 
        misdemeanor or felony violation of section 169A.20 (driving 
        while impaired) to an executed sentence of incarceration in a 
        local correctional facility, to be served in equal segments in 
        three or more consecutive years.  Before reporting for any 
        subsequent segment of incarceration after the first segment, the 
        offender shall be regularly involved in a structured sobriety 
        group and may bring a motion before the court requesting to have 
        that segment of incarceration stayed.  The motion must be 
        brought before the same judge who initially pronounced the 
        sentence.  Before bringing the motion, the offender shall 
        participate for 30 days in a remote electronic 
        alcohol-monitoring program under the direction of the person's 
        probation agent.  It is within the court's discretion to stay 
        the second or subsequent segment of remote electronic alcohol 
        monitoring or incarceration that has previously been ordered. 
        The court shall consider any alcohol-monitoring results and the 
        recommendation of the probation agent, together with any other 
        factors deemed relevant by the court, in deciding whether to 
        modify the sentence by ordering a stay of the next following 
        segment of remote electronic alcohol monitoring or incarceration 
        that the court had initially ordered to be executed.  
           (c) When the court stays a segment of incarceration that it 
        has previously ordered to be executed, that portion of the 
        sentence must be added to the total number of days the defendant 
        is subject to serving in custody if the person subsequently 
        violates any of the conditions of that stay of execution. 
           (d) A structured sobriety group is an organization that has 
        regular meetings focusing on sobriety and includes, but is not 
        limited to, Alcoholics Anonymous.

           Subd. 5.  [BREATH TEST USING INFRARED BREATH-TESTING 
        INSTRUMENT.] (a) In the case of a breath test administered using 
        an infrared breath-testing instrument, the test must consist of 
        analyses in the following sequence:  one adequate breath-sample 
        analysis, one calibration standard control analysis, and a 
        second, adequate breath-sample analysis. 
           (b) In the case of a test administered using an infrared 
        breath-testing instrument, a sample is adequate if the 
        instrument analyzes the sample and does not indicate the sample 
        is deficient. 
           (c) For purposes of section 169A.52 (revocation of license 
        for test failure or refusal), when a test is administered using 
        an infrared breath-testing instrument, failure of a person to 
        provide two separate, adequate breath samples in the proper 
        sequence constitutes a refusal.

        days following the filing of the petition for review.  The 
        judicial district administrator shall establish procedures to 
        ensure efficient compliance with this subdivision.  To 
        accomplish this, the administrator may, whenever possible, 
        consolidate and transfer review hearings among the locations 
        within the judicial district where terms of district court are 
        held. 
           (b) The scope of the hearing is limited to the issues in

        death? 
           (4) Did the person refuse to take a screening test provided 
        for by section 169A.41 (preliminary screening test)? 
           (5) If the screening test was administered, did the test 
        indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more? 
           (6) At the time of the request for the test, did the peace 
        officer inform the person of the person's rights and the 
        consequences of taking or refusing the test as required by 
        section 169A.51, subdivision 2? 
           (7) Did the person refuse to permit the test? 
           (8) If a test was taken by a person driving, operating, or 
        in physical control of a motor vehicle, did the test results

           (ii) the presence of a controlled substance listed in 
        schedule I or II, other than marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinols? 
           (9) If a test was taken by a person driving, operating, or 
        in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle, did the test

           (10) Was the testing method used valid and reliable and 
        were the test results accurately evaluated? 
           (c) It is an affirmative defense for the petitioner to 
        prove that, at the time of the refusal, the petitioner's refusal 
        to permit the test was based upon reasonable grounds. 
           (d) Certified or otherwise authenticated copies of 
        laboratory or medical personnel reports, records, documents, 
        licenses, and certificates are admissible as substantive 
        evidence. 
           (e) The court shall order that the revocation or 
        disqualification be either rescinded or sustained and forward 
        the order to the commissioner.  The court shall file its order 
        within 14 days following the hearing.  If the revocation or 
        disqualification is sustained, the court shall also forward the 
        person's driver's license or permit to the commissioner for 
        further action by the commissioner if the license or permit is 
        not already in the commissioner's possession.

        court may appeal the decision as provided in the rules of 
        appellate procedure.

           Sec. 20.  [CLARIFYING LEGISLATIVE INTENT.] 
           During the year 2000 recodification of Minnesota's impaired 
        driving statutes, now codified in Minnesota Statutes 2002, 
        chapter 169A, it was the intention of the legislature to 
        continue the policy of accountability for previous convictions 
        of impaired driving-related offenses and previous impaired 
        driving-related driver's license actions.  Specifically, it was 
        the intention of the legislature to count as aggravating factors 
        all qualified prior impaired driving incidents occurring within 
        the past ten years of an incident for purposes of any criminal 
        or civil sanctions under Minnesota Statutes 2002, chapter 169A, 
        whether a prior incident occurred before, during, or after 1998 
        or 1996.  The references to "Minnesota Statutes 1998" and 
        "Minnesota Statutes 1996" in Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 
        169A.03, subdivisions 20 and 21, follow standard editorial
