    Subd. 4.  [RULE.] "Rule" means every agency statement of 
general applicability and future effect, including amendments, 
suspensions, and repeals of rules, adopted to implement or make 
specific the law enforced or administered by it or to govern its 
organization or procedure.  It does not include (a) rules 
concerning only the internal management of the agency or other 
agencies, and which do not directly affect the rights of or 
procedure available to the public; (b) rules of the commissioner 
of corrections relating to the placement and supervision of 
inmates serving a supervised release term, the internal 
management of institutions under the commissioner's control and 
those rules governing the inmates thereof prescribed pursuant to 
section 609.105; (c) rules of the division of game and fish 
published in accordance with section 97A.051; (d) rules relating 
to weight limitations on the use of highways when the substance 
of the rules is indicated to the public by means of signs; (e) 
opinions of the attorney general; (f) the systems architecture 
plan and long-range plan of the state education management 
information system provided by section 121.931; (g) the data 
element dictionary and the annual data acquisition calendar of 
the department of education to the extent provided by section 
121.932; (h) the occupational safety and health standards 
provided in section 182.655. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 243.05, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] The commissioner of 
corrections may parole any person sentenced to confinement in 
any state correctional facility for adults under the control of 
the commissioner of corrections, provided that:  
    (a) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder 
before May 1, 1980, other than murder committed in violation of 
clause (1) of section 609.185 who has not been previously 
convicted of a felony shall be paroled without having served 20 
years, less the diminution that would have been allowed for good 
conduct had the sentence been for 20 years; 
    (b) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder 
before May 1, 1980, who has been previously convicted of a 
felony or though not previously convicted of a felony is serving 
a life sentence for murder in the first degree committed in 
violation of clause (1) of section 609.185 shall be paroled 
without having served 25 years, less the diminution which would 
have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 25 
years; 
    (c) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963 who

adopted by the commissioner of corrections which has the effect 
of postponing eligibility for parole has prospective effect only 
and applies only with respect to persons committing offenses

Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the 
legal custody and under the control of the commissioner, subject 
at any time to be returned to a facility of the department of 
corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment 
of convicted persons and the parole rescinded by the 
commissioner.  The written order of the commissioner of 
corrections, is sufficient authority for any peace officer or 
state parole and probation agent to retake and place in actual 
custody any person on parole or supervised release, but any 
state parole and probation agent may, without order of warrant, 
when it appears necessary in order to prevent escape or enforce 
discipline, take and detain a parolee or person on supervised 
release or work release to the commissioner for action.  The 
written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient 
authority for any peace officer or state parole and probation 
agent to retake and place in actual custody any person on 
probation under the supervision of the commissioner pursuant to 
section 609.135, but any state parole and probation agent may, 
without an order, when it appears necessary in order to prevent 
escape or enforce discipline, retake and detain a probationer 
and bring the probationer before the court for further 
proceedings under section 609.14.  Persons conditionally 
released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be 
placed within or outside the boundaries of the state at the 
discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, and 
the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced 
according to their conduct. 
    In considering applications for conditional release or 
discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral 
argument from any attorney or other person not connected with an 
adult correctional facility of the department of corrections in 
favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates, but 
the commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, 
taking testimony or otherwise, as to the previous history, 
physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate, and 
to that end shall have authority to require the attendance of 
the chief executive officer of any state adult correctional 
facility and the production of the records of these facilities, 
and to compel the attendance of witnesses.  The commissioner is 
authorized to administer oaths to witnesses for these purposes.  
    Sec. 3.  [243.165] [NOTICE OF SEX OFFENDER'S ADDRESS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [TERMS.] (a) For purposes of this section, 
the following terms have the meanings given. 
    (b) "Law enforcement authority" means with respect to a 
home rule charter or statutory city, the chief of police, and 
with respect to an unincorporated area, the sheriff of the 
county. 
    (c) "Sex offender" means a person who has been convicted 
and sentenced under section 12, section 609.185, clause (2), 
section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345 and is serving or 
is being released to serve the supervised release portion of the 
sentence imposed or is on probation for that conviction unless 
the person is placed in a residential community-based facility. 
    Subd. 2.  [LOCATION REPORT REQUIRED.] A probation officer 
shall report in writing to the appropriate law enforcement 
authority the address of a sex offender who is assigned to that 
probation officer:  
    (1) when the sex offender is released from a state 
correctional institution to serve the supervised release term or 
is released from a residential community-based facility; and 
    (2) when the sex offender changes addresses.  A sex 
offender is deemed to change addresses when the sex offender 
remains at a new address for longer than two weeks and evinces 
an intent to take up residence there. 
    Subd. 3.  [USE OF INFORMATION.] The information provided 
under this section is private data on individuals under section 
13.01, subdivision 12.  The information may be used only for law 
enforcement purposes.  When the sex offender is discharged from 
supervised release or probation, the probation officer shall 
inform all law enforcement agencies notified under this 
section.  Each agency shall then destroy the data. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 243.18, is 
amended to read: 
    243.18 [DIMINUTION OF SENTENCE.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [GOOD TIME.] Every inmate sentenced for any 
term other than life, confined in a state adult correctional 
facility or on parole therefrom, may diminish the term of 
sentence one day for each two days during which the inmate has 
not violated any facility rule or discipline. 
    The commissioner of corrections, in view of the aggravated 
nature and frequency of offenses, may take away any or all of 
the good time previously gained, and, in consideration of 
mitigating circumstances or ignorance on the part of the inmate, 
may afterwards restore the inmate, in whole or in part, to the

substance in open view in a room, other than a public place, 
under circumstances evincing an intent by one or more of the 
persons present to unlawfully mix, compound, package, or 
otherwise prepare for sale the controlled substance permits the 
factfinder to infer knowing possession of the controlled 
substance by each person in close proximity to the controlled 
substance when the controlled substance was found.  The 
permissive inference does not apply to any person if: 
    (1) one of them legally possesses the controlled substance; 
or 
    (2) the controlled substance is on the person of one of the 
occupants. 
    Subd. 2.  [PASSENGER AUTOMOBILES.] The presence of a 
controlled substance in a passenger automobile permits the 
factfinder to infer knowing possession of the controlled 
substance by the driver or person in control of the automobile 
when the controlled substance was in the automobile.  This 
inference may only be made if the defendant is charged with 
violating section 8, 9, or 10.  The inference does not apply: 
    (1) to a duly licensed operator of an automobile who is at 
the time operating it for hire in the lawful and proper pursuit 
of the operator's trade; 
    (2) to any person in the automobile if one of them legally 
possesses a controlled substance; or 
    (3) when the controlled substance is concealed on the 
person of one of the occupants. 
    Sec. 16.  [152.029] [PUBLIC INFORMATION: SCHOOL ZONES AND

legislative session to the legislative standing committees 
having jurisdiction over the subject matter. 
    Sec. 20.  [152.152] [STAYED SENTENCE LIMITED.] 
    If a person is convicted under section 8, 9, or 10 and the 
sentencing guidelines grid calls for a presumptive prison 
sentence for the offense, the court may stay imposition or 
execution of the sentence only as provided in this section.  The 
sentence may be stayed based on amenability to probation only if 
the offender presents adequate evidence to the court that the 
offender has been accepted by, and can respond to, a treatment 
program that has been approved by the commissioner of human 
services.  The court may impose a sentence that is a mitigated 
dispositional departure on any other ground only if the court 
includes as a condition of probation incarceration in a local 
jail or workhouse.

judgment of guilty and with the consent of such person, defer 
further proceedings and place the person on probation upon such 
reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to 
exceed the maximum term of imprisonment provided for such 
violation.  The court may give the person the opportunity to 
attend and participate in an appropriate program of education 
regarding the nature and effects of alcohol and drug abuse as a 
stipulation of probation.  Upon violation of a condition of the 
probation, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and 
proceed as otherwise provided.  The court may, in its 
discretion, dismiss the proceedings against such person and 
discharge the person from probation before the expiration of the 
maximum period prescribed for such person's probation.  If 
during the period of probation such person does not violate any 
of the conditions of the probation, then upon expiration of such 
period the court shall discharge such person and dismiss the 
proceedings against that person.  Discharge and dismissal 
hereunder shall be without court adjudication of guilt, but a 
nonpublic record thereof shall be retained by the department of 
public safety solely for the purpose of use by the courts in 
determining the merits of subsequent proceedings against such 
person.  The court shall forward a record of any discharge and 
dismissal hereunder to the department of public safety who shall 
make and maintain the nonpublic record thereof as hereinbefore 
provided.  Such 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.

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 the owner or secured party took reasonable steps to 
terminate use of the property by the offender. 
    Sec. 31.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 609.5314, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [PROPERTY SUBJECT TO ADMINISTRATIVE 
FORFEITURE; PRESUMPTION.] (a) The following are presumed to be 
subject to administrative forfeiture under this section: 
    (1) all money, precious metals, and precious stones found 
in proximity to: 
    (i) controlled substances; 
    (ii) forfeitable drug manufacturing or distributing 
equipment or devices; or 
    (iii) forfeitable records of manufacture or distribution of 
controlled substances; and 
    (2) all conveyance devices containing controlled substances 
with a retail value of $500 $100 or more 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. 32.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 609.5315, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [DISPOSITION.] If the court finds under 
section 609.5313 or 609.5314 that the property is subject to 
forfeiture, it may 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. 
    Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 609.685, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 1a.  [GROSS MISDEMEANOR.] (a) Whoever sells tobacco 
to a person under the age of 18 years is guilty of a gross 
misdemeanor.  
    (b) It is an affirmative defense to a charge under this 
subdivision if the defendant proves by a preponderance of the 
evidence that the defendant reasonably and in good faith relied 
on proof of age as described in section 340A.503, subdivision 6. 
    Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 609.685, 
subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 2.  [CRIME MISDEMEANOR.] Whoever furnishes tobacco or 
tobacco related devices to a person under the age of 18 years is 
guilty of a misdemeanor. 
    Sec. 35.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINES COMMISSION; STUDY OF 
MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCING LAW.] 
    The sentencing guidelines commission shall study sentencing 
practices under section 609.11 to determine the following issues:
    (1) whether prosecutors are complying with the statute's 
requirement to place on the record any evidence tending to show 
that a gun or dangerous weapon was used to commit an offense 
listed in section 609.11, subdivision 9; 
    (2) whether courts are complying with the statute's 
requirement to determine on the record the question of whether a 
gun or dangerous weapon was used to commit an offense listed in 
section 609.11, subdivision 9; 
    (3) the number of cases in which a prosecutor files a 
motion under section 609.11, subdivision 8, seeking waiver of 
the mandatory minimum sentence, the reasons given in these cases 
to support the motion, and the disposition of these motions; and 
    (4) the number of cases in which the court, on its own 
motion, sentences a defendant without regard to the mandatory 
minimum sentence, the reasons given in these cases for the 
court's departure, and the sentences pronounced by the court. 
    The commission shall submit a written report to the 
legislature on or before February 1, 1991, summarizing its 
findings on this study and recommending any changes necessary to 
improve the operation of section 609.11. 
    Sec. 36.  [LOCAL CORRECTIONAL RESOURCES; DATA COLLECTION; 
NEEDS ASSESSMENT.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [DUTIES OF THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES 
COMMISSION, COUNTIES, AND COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONS.] The 
sentencing guidelines commission, with the assistance of the 
supreme court, the state planning agency, corrections 
administrators, and the commissioner of corrections, shall 
determine how more detailed information can be gathered on a 
routine basis on local sentencing practices, usage of local 
correctional resources, and local alternatives to incarceration 
for convicted felons.  The corrections administrator for each 
county or group of counties participating in Minnesota Statutes, 
chapter 401, shall furnish data and information to assist the 
sentencing guidelines commission in making its determinations 
under this subdivision as the determinations pertain to the 
county or counties served by each administrator.  In a like 
manner the commissioner of corrections shall furnish pertinent 
data on those counties which do not participate in Minnesota 
Statutes, chapter 401.  
    Subd. 2.  [NONIMPRISONMENT GUIDELINES PILOT PROJECT.] The 
commissioner of corrections shall report to the sentencing 
guidelines commission on the results of its nonimprisonment 
guidelines pilot project when the project is completed.  If the 
pilot project is not completed by July 1, 1990, the commissioner 
shall provide an interim report to the commission on or before 
that date. 
    Subd. 3.  [REPORT.] The sentencing guidelines commission 
shall report to the legislature on or before February 1, 1991, 
describing what improvements have been made to address

                               ARTICLE 4 

                             SEX OFFENDERS 
    Section 1.  [241.67] [SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT; PROGRAMS; 
STANDARDS; DATA.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT.] A sex offender 
treatment system is established under the administration of the 
commissioner of corrections to provide and finance a range of 
sex offender treatment programs for eligible adults and 
juveniles.  Eligible offenders are: 
    (1) adults and juveniles committed to the custody of the 
commissioner; 
    (2) adult offenders for whom treatment is required by the 
court as a condition of probation; and 
    (3) juvenile offenders who have been found delinquent or 
received a stay of adjudication, for whom the juvenile court has 
ordered treatment. 
    Subd. 2.  [TREATMENT PROGRAM STANDARDS.] By July 1, 1991, 
the commissioner shall adopt rules under chapter 14 for the 
certification of adult and juvenile sex offender treatment 
programs in state and local correctional facilities.  The rules 
shall require that sex offender treatment programs be at least 
four months in duration.  After July 1, 1991, a correctional 
facility may not operate a sex offender treatment program unless 
the program has met the standards adopted by and been certified 
by the commissioner of corrections.  As used in this 
subdivision, "correctional facility" has the meaning given it in 
section 241.021, subdivision 1, clause (5).  
    Subd. 3.  [PROGRAMS FOR ADULT OFFENDERS COMMITTED TO THE 
COMMISSIONER.] (a) The commissioner shall provide for a range of 
sex offender treatment programs, including intensive sex 
offender treatment, within the state adult correctional facility 
system.  Participation in any treatment program is voluntary and 
is subject to the rules and regulations of the department of 
corrections.  Nothing in this section requires the commissioner 
to accept or retain an offender in a treatment program.  Nothing 
in this section creates a right of an offender to treatment.  
    (b) The commissioner shall provide for residential and 
outpatient sex offender treatment and aftercare when required 
for conditional release under section 12 or as a condition of 
supervised release. 
    Subd. 4.  [PROGRAMS FOR JUVENILE OFFENDERS COMMITTED TO THE 
COMMISSIONER.] The commissioner shall provide for sex offender 
treatment programs for juveniles committed to the commissioner 
by the courts under section 260.185, as provided under section 2.
    Subd. 5.  [PILOT PROGRAMS TO INCREASE ADULT AND JUVENILE 
SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT.] (a) The commissioner shall designate 
three or more pilot programs to increase sex offender treatment 
for:  
    (1) adults convicted of a violation of section 609.342, 
609.343, 609.344, 609.345, 609.3451, 609.746, 609.79, 617.23, 
617.246, or 617.247 who are sentenced by the court to 
incarceration in a local correctional facility or to sex 
offender treatment as a condition of probation; and 
    (2) juveniles found delinquent or receiving a stay of 
adjudication for a violation of one of those sections for whom 
the juvenile court has ordered sex offender treatment.  
    (b) At least one pilot program must be in the seven-county 
metropolitan area, at least one program must be outside the 
seven-county metropolitan area, at least one program must be in 
a community corrections act county, and at least one program 
must be in a noncommunity corrections act county.  
    (c) A public human services or community corrections agency 
may apply to the commissioner for a pilot program grant.  The 
application must be submitted in a form approved by the 
commissioner and must include:  
    (1) a proposal to increase treatment availability for sex 
offenders sentenced by the district court in the county; 
    (2) evidence of participation by local correctional, human 
services, court, and treatment professionals in identifying the 
current treatment funding level in the county and unmet sex 
offender treatment needs; and 
    (3) any other content the commissioner may require.  
    The commissioner may appoint an advisory task force to 
assist in the review of applications and the award of grants.  
    Subd. 6.  [SPECIALIZED CORRECTIONS AGENTS AND PROBATION 
OFFICERS; SEX OFFENDER SUPERVISION.] By January 1, 1990, the 
commissioner of corrections shall develop in-service training 
for state and local corrections agents and probation officers 
who supervise adult and juvenile sex offenders on probation or 
supervised release.  The commissioner shall make the training 
available to all current and future corrections agents and 
probation officers who supervise or will supervise sex offenders 
on probation or supervised release.  
    After January 1, 1991, a state or local corrections agent 
or probation officer may not supervise adult or juvenile sex 
offenders on probation or supervised release unless the agent or 
officer has completed the in-service sex offender supervision 
training.  The commissioner may waive this requirement if the 
corrections agent or probation officer has completed equivalent 
training as part of a post-secondary educational curriculum.  
    After January 1, 1991, when an adult sex offender is placed 
on supervised release or is sentenced to probationary 
supervision, and when a juvenile offender is found delinquent by 
the juvenile court for a sex offense and placed on probation or 
is paroled from a juvenile correctional facility, a corrections 
agent or probation officer may not be assigned to the offender 
unless the agent or officer has completed the in-service sex 
offender supervision training. 
    Sec. 2.  [242.195] [JUVENILE SEX OFFENDERS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [TREATMENT PROGRAMS.] The commissioner of 
corrections shall provide for a range of sex offender treatment 
programs, including intensive sex offender treatment, for 
juveniles within state juvenile correctional facilities and 
through purchase of service from county and private residential 
and outpatient juvenile sex offender treatment programs.  
    Subd. 2.  [SECURE CONFINEMENT.] If a juvenile sex offender 
committed to the custody of the commissioner is in need of 
secure confinement, the commissioner shall provide for the 
appropriate level of sex offender treatment within a secure 
facility or unit in a state juvenile correctional facility.  
    Subd. 3.  [DISPOSITIONS.] When a juvenile is committed to 
the commissioner of corrections by a juvenile court, upon a 
finding of delinquency for a sex offense, the commissioner may, 
for the purposes of treatment and rehabilitation:  
    (1) order the child confined to a state juvenile 
correctional facility that provides the appropriate level of 
juvenile sex offender treatment; 
    (2) purchase sex offender treatment from a county and place 
the child in the county's qualifying juvenile correctional 
facility; 
    (3) purchase sex offender treatment from a qualifying 
private residential juvenile sex offender treatment program and 
place the child in the program; 
    (4) purchase outpatient juvenile sex offender treatment for 
the child from a qualifying county or private program and order 
the child released on parole under treatment and other 
supervisions and conditions the commissioner believes to be 
appropriate; 
    (5) order reconfinement or renewed parole, revoke or modify 
any order, or discharge the child under the procedures provided 
in section 242.19, subdivision 2, paragraphs (c), (d), and (e); 
or 
    (6) refer the child to a county welfare board or licensed 
child-placing agency for placement in foster care, or when 
appropriate, for initiation of child in need of protection or 
services proceedings under section 242.19, subdivision 2, 
paragraph (f). 
    Subd. 4.  [QUALIFYING FACILITIES; TREATMENT PROGRAMS.] The 
commissioner may not place a juvenile in a correctional facility 
under this section unless the facility has met the requirements 
of section 241.021, subdivision 2.  
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 244.04, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [REDUCTION OF SENTENCE.] Notwithstanding 
the provisions of section 609.11, subdivision 6, and section 
609.346, subdivision 1, the term of imprisonment of any inmate 
sentenced to a presumptive fixed sentence after May 1, 1980, 
shall be reduced in duration by one day for each two days during 
which the inmate violates none of the disciplinary offense rules 
promulgated by the commissioner.  The reduction shall accrue to 
the period of supervised release to be served by the inmate, 
except that the period of supervised release for a sex offender 
sentenced and conditionally released by the commissioner under 
section 10, subdivision 5, is governed by that provision. 
    Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 2, if an inmate 
violates a disciplinary offense rule promulgated by the 
commissioner, good time earned prior to the violation may not be 
taken away, but the inmate may be required to serve an 
appropriate portion of the term of imprisonment after the 
violation without earning good time. 
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 244.05, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE REQUIRED.] Except as 
provided in subdivisions 4 and 5, every inmate shall serve a 
supervised release term upon completion of the inmate's term of 
imprisonment as reduced by any good time earned by the inmate or 
extended by confinement in punitive segregation pursuant to 
section 244.04, subdivision 2.  Except for a sex offender 
conditionally released under section 10, subdivision 5, the 
supervised release term shall be equal to the period of good 
time the inmate has earned, and shall not exceed the length of 
time remaining in the inmate's sentence. 
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 244.05, 
subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 3.  [SANCTIONS FOR VIOLATION.] If an inmate violates 
the conditions of the inmate's supervised release imposed by the 
commissioner, the commissioner may: 
    (1) continue the inmate's supervised release term, with or 
without modifying or enlarging the conditions imposed on the 
inmate; or 
    (2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison 
the inmate for the appropriate period of time. 
    The period of time for which a supervised release may be 
revoked may not exceed the period of time remaining in the 
inmate's sentence, except that for a sex offender sentenced and 
conditionally released under section 10, subdivision 5, the 
period of time for which conditional release may be revoked may 
not exceed the balance of the original sentence imposed less 
good time earned under section 244.04, subdivision 1. 
    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, 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 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 
245.781 to 245.812; or 
    (4) Except for children found to be delinquent as defined 
in section 260.015, subdivision 5, clauses (c) and (d), A county 
home school, if the county maintains a home school or enters 
into an agreement with a county home school; or 
    (5) A county probation officer for placement in a group 
foster home established under the direction of the juvenile 
court and licensed pursuant to section 241.021; 
    (d) Except for children found to be delinquent as defined 
in section 260.015, subdivision 5, clauses (c) and (d), Transfer 
legal custody by commitment to the commissioner of corrections; 
    (e) If the child is found to have violated a state or local 
law or ordinance which has resulted in damage to the property of 
another, the court may order the child to make reasonable 
restitution for such damage; 
    (f) Require the child to pay a fine of up to $700; the 
court shall order payment of the fine in accordance with a time 
payment schedule which shall not impose an undue financial 
hardship on the child; 
     (g) If the child is in need of special treatment and care 
for reasons of physical or mental health, the court may order 
the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to provide it.  If 
the parent, guardian, or custodian fails to provide this 
treatment or care, the court may order it provided; 
     (h) If the court believes that it is in the best interests 
of the child and of public safety that the driver's license of 
the child be canceled until the child's 18th birthday, the court 
may recommend to the commissioner of public safety the 
cancellation of the child's license for any period up to the 
child's 18th birthday, and the commissioner is hereby authorized 
to cancel such license without a hearing.  At any time before 
the termination of the period of cancellation, the court may, 
for good cause, recommend to the commissioner of public safety 
that the child be authorized to apply for a new license, and the 
commissioner may so authorize. 
    If the child is petitioned and found by the court to have 
committed or attempted to commit an act in violation of section 
609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, the court shall order an 
independent professional assessment of the child's need for sex 
offender treatment.  An assessor providing an assessment for the 
court may not have any direct or shared financial interest or 
referral relationship resulting in shared financial gain with a 
treatment provider.  If the assessment indicates that the child 
is in need of and amenable to sex offender treatment, the court 
shall include in its disposition order a requirement that the 
child undergo treatment. 
    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. 
    This subdivision applies to dispositions of juveniles found 
to be delinquent as defined in section 260.015, subdivision 5, 
clause (c) or (d)  made prior to, on, or after January 1, 1978. 
    Sec. 7.  [299C.155] [STANDARDIZED EVIDENCE COLLECTION; DNA 
ANALYSIS DATA AND RECORDS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] As used in this section, "DNA 
analysis" means the process through which deoxyribonucleic acid 
(DNA) in a human biological specimen is analyzed and compared 
with DNA from another human biological specimen for 
identification purposes. 
    Subd. 2.  [UNIFORM EVIDENCE COLLECTION.] The bureau shall 
develop uniform procedures and protocols for collecting evidence 
in cases of alleged or suspected criminal sexual conduct, 
including procedures and protocols for the collection and 
preservation of human biological specimens for DNA analysis.  
Law enforcement agencies and medical personnel who conduct 
evidentiary exams shall use the uniform procedures and protocols 
in their investigation of criminal sexual conduct offenses. 
    Subd. 3.  [DNA ANALYSIS AND DATA BANK.] The bureau shall 
adopt uniform procedures and protocols to maintain, preserve, 
and analyze human biological specimens for DNA.  The bureau 
shall establish a centralized system to cross-reference data 
obtained from DNA analysis. 
    Subd. 4.  [RECORDS.] The bureau shall perform DNA analysis 
and make data obtained available to law enforcement officials in 
connection with criminal investigations in which human 
biological specimens have been recovered.  Upon request, the 
bureau shall also make the data available to the prosecutor and 
the subject of the data in any subsequent criminal prosecution 
of the subject. 
    Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 526.10, is 
amended to read: 
    526.10 [LAWS RELATING TO MENTALLY ILL PERSONS DANGEROUS TO 
THE PUBLIC TO APPLY TO PSYCHOPATHIC PERSONALITIES; TRANSFER TO 
CORRECTIONS.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [PROCEDURE.] Except as otherwise 
provided herein in this section or in chapter 253B, the 
provisions of chapter 253B, pertaining to persons mentally ill 
and dangerous to the public shall apply with like force and 
effect to persons having a psychopathic personality, to persons 
alleged to have such personality, and to persons found to have 
such personality, respectively.  Before such proceedings are 
instituted, the facts shall first be submitted to the county 
attorney, who, if satisfied that good cause exists therefor, 
shall prepare the petition to be executed by a person having 
knowledge of the facts and file the same with the judge of the 
probate court of the county in which the "patient," as defined 
in such statutes, has a settlement or is present.  The judge of 
probate shall thereupon follow the same procedures set forth in 
chapter 253B, for judicial commitment.  The judge may exclude 
the general public from attendance at such hearing.  If, upon 
completion of the hearing and consideration of the record, the 
court finds the proposed patient has a psychopathic personality, 
the court shall commit such person to a public hospital or a 
private hospital consenting to receive the person, subject to a 
mandatory review by the head of the hospital within 60 days from 
the date of the order as provided for in chapter 253B for 
persons found to be mentally ill and dangerous to the public.  
The patient shall thereupon be entitled to all of the rights 
provided for in chapter 253B, for persons found to be mentally 
ill and dangerous to the public, and all of the procedures 
provided for in chapter 253B, for persons found to be mentally 
ill and dangerous to the public shall apply to such 
patient except as otherwise provided in subdivision 2. 
    Subd. 2.  [TRANSFER TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.] Unless the 
provisions of section 9 apply, if a person has been committed 
under this section and also has been committed to the custody of 
the commissioner of corrections, the person may be transferred 
from a hospital to another facility designated by the 
commissioner of corrections as provided in section 253B.18; 
except that the special review board and the commissioner of 
human services may consider the following factors in lieu of the 
factors listed in section 253B.18, subdivision 6, to determine 
whether a transfer to the commissioner of corrections is 
appropriate: 
     (1) the person's unamenability to treatment; 
     (2) the person's unwillingness or failure to follow 
treatment recommendations; 
     (3) the person's lack of progress in treatment at the 
public or private hospital; 
    (4) the danger posed by the person to other patients or 
staff at the public or private hospital; and 
    (5) the degree of security necessary to protect the public. 
    Sec. 9.  [609.1351] [PETITION FOR CIVIL COMMITMENT.] 
    When a court sentences a person under section 10, 609.342, 
609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, the court shall make a preliminary 
determination whether in the court's opinion a petition under 
section 526.10 may be appropriate.  If the court determines that 
a petition may be appropriate, the court shall forward its 
preliminary determination along with supporting documentation to 
the county attorney.  If the person is subsequently committed 
under section 526.10, the person shall serve the sentence in a 
facility designated by the commissioner of corrections.  After 
the person has served the sentence the person shall be 
transferred to a facility designated by the commissioner of 
human services. 
    Sec. 10.  [609.1352] [PATTERNED SEX OFFENDERS; SPECIAL 
SENTENCING PROVISION.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [SENTENCING AUTHORITY.] A court may 
sentence a person to a term of imprisonment of not less than 
double the presumptive sentence under the sentencing guidelines 
and not more than the statutory maximum, or if the statutory 
maximum is less than double the presumptive sentence, to a term 
of imprisonment equal to the statutory maximum, if: 
    (1) the court is imposing an executed sentence, based on a 
sentencing guidelines presumptive imprisonment sentence or a 
dispositional departure for aggravating circumstances or a 
mandatory minimum sentence, on a person convicted of committing 
or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 
609.344, or 609.345, or on a person convicted of committing or 
attempting to commit any other crime listed in subdivision 2 if 
it reasonably appears to the court that the crime was motivated 
by the offender's sexual impulses or was part of a predatory 
pattern of behavior that had criminal sexual conduct as its 
goal; 
    (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
safety; and 
    (3) the court finds that the offender needs long-term 
treatment or supervision beyond the presumptive term of 
imprisonment and supervised release.  The finding must be based 
on a professional assessment by an examiner experienced in 
evaluating sex offenders that concludes that the offender is a 
patterned sex offender.  The assessment must contain the facts 
upon which the conclusion is based, with reference to the 
offense history of the offender or the severity of the current 
offense, the social history of the offender, and the results of 
an examination of the offender's mental status.  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

under the sentencing guidelines; or 
    (2) the offender previously committed or attempted to

available in prison to be released to a sex offender treatment 
program operated by the department of human services or a 
community sex offender treatment and reentry program; and

the offender fails to meet any condition of release.  The 
commissioner shall not dismiss the offender from supervision 
before the sentence expires.

used a controlled substance for a nonmedical purpose during the 
pregnancy.

pregnant woman's use of a controlled substance for a nonmedical 
purpose, the local welfare agency shall immediately conduct an 
appropriate assessment and offer services indicated under the 
circumstances.  Services offered may include, but are not 
limited to, a referral for chemical dependency assessment, a

possible use of a controlled substance for a nonmedical 
purpose.  If the test results are positive, the physician shall 
report the results under section 5.  A negative test result does

evidence gives the physician reason to believe the patient has 
used a controlled substance for a nonmedical purpose. 
    Subd. 2.  [NEWBORNS.] A physician shall administer to each 
newborn infant born under the physician's care a toxicology test 
to determine whether there is evidence of prenatal exposure to a 
controlled substance, if the physician has reason to believe 
based on a medical assessment of the mother or the infant that 
the mother used a controlled substance for a nonmedical purpose 
prior to the birth.  If the test results are positive, the 
physician shall report the results as neglect under section 
626.556.  A negative test result does not eliminate the 
obligation to report under section 626.556 if other medical 
evidence of prenatal exposure to a controlled substance is 
present. 
    Subd. 3.  [REPORT TO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.] Physicians 
shall report to the department of health the results of tests 
performed under subdivisions 1 and 2.  A report shall be made on

medical personnel administering a toxicology test to determine 
the presence of a controlled substance in a pregnant woman or in 
a child at birth or during the first month of life is immune

faith that the test is required under this section and the test 
is administered in accordance with an established protocol and 
reasonable medical practice. 
    Subd. 5.  [RELIABILITY OF TESTS.] A positive test result 
reported under this section must be obtained from a confirmatory 
test performed by a drug testing laboratory licensed by the 
department of health.  The confirmatory test must meet the 
standards established under section 181.953, subdivision 1, and

    (c) The peace officer who requires a test pursuant to this 
subdivision may direct whether the test shall be of blood,

    Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 169.126, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [CHEMICAL USE ASSESSMENT.] (a) Except as

necessary to complete the evaluation.  An assessor providing a 
chemical use assessment for the court may not have any direct or 
shared financial interest or referral relationship resulting in 
shared financial gain with a treatment provider.  If an 
independent assessor is not available, the court may use the 
services of an assessor authorized to perform assessments for

three weeks after the appointment date defendant's court 
appearance.  If the assessment is not performed within this time 
limit, the county where the defendant is to be sentenced shall 
perform the assessment.  The county of financial responsibility 
shall be determined under chapter 256G. 
    (b) The chemical use assessment report must include a 
recommended level of care for the defendant in accordance with 
the criteria contained in rules adopted by the commissioner of 
human services under section 254A.03, subdivision 3.  
     (c) The state shall reimburse the county for the entire 
cost of each chemical use assessment and report at a rate 
established by the department of human services up to a maximum 
of $100 in each case.  The county may not be reimbursed for the 
cost of any chemical use assessment or report not completed 
within the time limit provided in this subdivision.  
Reimbursement to the county must be made from the special 
account established in subdivision 4a.  
     (d) If the preliminary alcohol problem screening is 
conducted by an assessor qualified under rules adopted by the 
commissioner of human services under section 254A.03, 
subdivision 3, consists of a comprehensive chemical use 
assessment of the defendant, and complies with the chemical use 
assessment report requirements of paragraph (b), it is a 
chemical use assessment for the purposes of this section and the 
court may not require the defendant to undergo a second chemical 
use assessment under paragraph (a).  The state shall reimburse 
counties for the cost of alcohol problem screenings that qualify 
as chemical use assessments under this paragraph in the manner 
provided in paragraph (c) in lieu of the reimbursement

local groups, organizations, and teams dealing with the same 
issues the team is addressing. 
    Subd. 2.  [DUTIES OF TEAM.] (a) A multidisciplinary 
chemical abuse prevention team shall:

prescribed by the assistant commissioner.  The assistant 
commissioner shall award grants under this section so that 50 
percent of the funds appropriated for the grants go to the 
metropolitan area comprised of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, 
Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties, and 50 percent of the 
funds go to the area outside the metropolitan area.  The process 
for administering the grants must also include procedures for 
monitoring the recipients' use of grant funds and reporting 
requirements for grant recipients. 
    Sec. 2.  [MONITORING AND REPORT OF CHEMICAL ABUSE 
PREVENTION TEAMS.] 
    The assistant commissioner of the office of drug policy
