    Sec. 29.  Minnesota Statutes 1985 Supplement, section

     Subdivision 1.  (a) For all individuals who apply to the 
appropriate local agency for supplemental aid, the local agency 
shall determine whether the individual meets the eligibility 
criteria prescribed in subdivision 2.  For each individual who 
meets the relevant eligibility criteria prescribed in 
subdivision 2, the local agency shall certify to the 
commissioner the amount of supplemental aid to which the 
individual is entitled in accordance with all of the standards 
in effect December 31, 1973, for the appropriate categorical aid 
program.  
    (b) When a recipient is a resident of a state hospital or a 
dwelling with a negotiated rate, the recipient is not eligible 
for a shelter standard, a basic needs standard, or for special 
needs payments.  The state standard of assistance for those 
recipients is the clothing and personal needs allowance for 
medical assistance recipients under section 256B.35.  Minnesota 
supplemental aid may be paid to negotiated rate facilities at

under the supplemental aid program to residents of the facility, 
up to the maximum negotiated rate specified in this section.  
The rate for room and board or for a licensed facility must not 
exceed $800.  The maximum negotiated rate does not apply to a 
facility that, on August 1, 1984, was licensed by the 
commissioner of health only as a boarding care home, certified 
by the commissioner of health as an intermediate care facility, 
and licensed by the commissioner of human services under 
Minnesota Rules, parts 9520.0500 to 9520.0690.  The following 
facilities are exempt from the limit on negotiated rates and 
must be reimbursed for documented actual costs, until June 30,

mental retardation; and 
     (2) a facility not certified to participate in the medical 
assistance program that is licensed as a boarding care facility 
as of March 1, 1985, and only provides care to persons aged 65 
or older.  Beginning July 1, 1987, these facilities are subject 
to applicable supplemental aid limits, and mental retardation 
facilities must meet all applicable licensing and reimbursement 
requirements for programs for persons with mental retardation.  
The negotiated rates may be paid for persons who are placed by 
the local agency or who elect to reside in a room and board 
facility or a licensed facility for the purpose of receiving 
physical, mental health, or rehabilitative care, provided the 
local agency agrees that this care is needed by the person.  
When Minnesota supplemental aid is used to pay a negotiated 
rate, the rate payable to the facility must not exceed the rate 
paid by an individual not receiving Minnesota supplemental aid.  
To receive payment for a negotiated rate, the dwelling must 
comply with applicable laws and rules establishing standards 
necessary for health, safety, and licensure.  The negotiated 
rate must be adjusted by the annual percentage change in the 
urban consumer price index (CPI-U) for Minneapolis-St. Paul as 
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics between the previous 
two Octobers, new series index (1967-100).  In computing the 
amount of supplemental aid under this section, the local agency 
shall deduct from the gross amount of the individual's 
determined needs all income, subject to the criteria for income 
disregards in effect December 31, 1973, for the appropriate 
categorical aid program, except that the earned income disregard 
for disabled persons who are not residents of long-term care 
facilities shall be the same as the earned income disregard 
available to disabled persons in the supplemental security 
income program and all actual work expenses shall be deducted 
when determining the amount of income for the individual.  From 
and after the first of the month in which an effective 
application is filed, the state and the county shall share 
responsibility for the payment of the supplemental aid to which 
the individual is entitled under this section as provided in 
section 256D.36.

per year.  The commissioner may certify the payments for the 
first three months of a calendar year.  Subsequent payments must

older who is not adopted but who is placed in a satisfactory 
foster home, may, with the consent of the foster parents, join 
with the guardian appointed by the juvenile court in a petition 
to the court having jurisdiction of the child to discharge the 
existing guardian and appoint the foster parents as guardians of 
the child.  The authority of a guardian appointed by the 
juvenile court terminates when the individual under guardianship

discharged.

    Within 120 days after the selection and approval of a site 
for a new major airport in the metropolitan area, the 
metropolitan council shall determine the probable levels of 
noise that will result in various parts of the metropolitan area 
from the operation of aircraft using the site, shall establish 
aircraft noise zones based on that determination and applicable 
to property affected by the noise, and shall establish 
acceptable levels of perceived noise decibels for each land use,

within any aircraft noise zone if persons using the property and 
buildings would be subjected to a level of perceived noise 
decibels in excess of the acceptable level established by the 
council for that land use.

acquire lands for the airport has the power to acquire the 
property or any similar property, or an interest in it, to the 
extent needed for the application of the measure, by eminent 
domain exercised in accordance with chapter 117.  The right of

subdivision 11a, and the community service levy authorized by 
subdivision 8, the commissioner shall ascertain from each 
affected school district the amount it proposes to levy for 
capital expenditures pursuant to subdivision 11a and for 
community services pursuant to subdivision 8.  The reduction of

    298.225 [APPROPRIATION.] 
    Subdivision 1.  For distribution of taconite production tax 
in 1987 and thereafter with respect to production in 1986 and 
thereafter, the distribution of the taconite production tax as 
provided in section 298.28, subdivision 1, clauses (1) to (4) 
and (5)(b), (5)(c), (6), and (7)(a), shall equal the lesser of 
the following amounts:  
    (1) the amount distributed pursuant to this section and 
section 298.28, subdivision 1, with respect to 1983 production 
if the production for the year prior to the distribution year is 
no less than 42,000,000 taxable tons.  If the production is less 
than 42,000,000 taxable tons, the amount of the distributions 
shall be reduced proportionately at the rate of two percent for 
each 1,000,000 tons, or part of 1,000,000 tons by which the 
production is less than 42,000,000 tons; or 
    (2)(i) for the distributions made pursuant to section 
298.28, subdivision 1, clauses (3)(a), (3)(b), and (5)(c), 50 
percent of the amount distributed pursuant to this section and 
section 298.28, subdivision 1, with respect to 1983 production.

subdivision 1, clauses (4)(a) and (4)(b)(c), 75 percent of the 
amount distributed pursuant to this section and section 298.28, 
subdivision 1, with respect to 1983 production.  
    Sec. 38.  Minnesota Statutes 1985 Supplement, section 
298.28, subdivision 1, as amended by Laws 1986, chapter 441, 
section 12, is amended to read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [DISTRIBUTION.] The proceeds of the taxes 
collected under section 298.24, except the tax collected under 
section 298.24, subdivision 2, shall, upon certification of the 
commissioner of revenue, be allocated as follows: 
     (1) 2.5 cents per gross ton of merchantable iron ore 
concentrate, hereinafter referred to as "taxable ton," to the 
city or town in the county in which the lands from which 
taconite was mined or quarried were located or within which the 
concentrate was produced.  If the mining, quarrying, and 
concentration, or different steps in either thereof are carried 
on in more than one taxing district, the commissioner shall 
apportion equitably the proceeds of the part of the tax going to 
cities and towns among such subdivisions upon the basis of 
attributing 40 percent of the proceeds of the tax to the 
operation of mining or quarrying the taconite, and the remainder 
to the concentrating plant and to the processes of 
concentration, and with respect to each thereof giving due 
consideration to the relative extent of such operations 
performed in each such taxing district.  His order making such 
apportionment shall be subject to review by the tax court at the 
instance of any of the interested taxing districts, in the same 
manner as other orders of the commissioner. 
     (2) (a) 12.5 cents per taxable ton, less any amount 
distributed under clause (7), paragraph (a), and paragraph (b) 
of this clause, to be distributed as provided in section 298.282.
    (b) An amount annually certified by the county auditor of a 
county containing a taconite tax relief area within which there 
is (1) an organized township if, as of January 2, 1982, more 
than 75 percent of the assessed valuation of the township 
consists of iron ore or (2) a city if, as of January 2, 1980, 
more than 75 percent of the assessed valuation of the city 
consists of iron ore.  The amount will be the portion of a 
township's or city's certified levy equal to the proportion of 
(1) the difference between 50 percent of January 2, 1982, 
assessed value in the case of a township and 50 percent of the 
January 2, 1980, assessed value in the case of a city and its 
current assessed value to (2) the sum of its current assessed 
value plus the difference determined in (1).  The county auditor 
shall extend the township's or city's levy against the sum of 
the township's or city's current assessed value plus the 
difference between 50 percent of its January 2, 1982, assessed 
value and its current assessed value in the case of a township 
and between 50 percent of its January 2, 1980, assessed value 
and its current assessed value in the case of a city.  If the 
current assessed value of the township exceeds 50 percent of the 
township's January 2, 1982, assessed value, or if the current 
assessed value of the city exceeds 50 percent of the city's 
January 2, 1980, assessed value, this clause shall not apply.  
    (3) 27.5 cents per taxable ton plus the increase provided 
in paragraph (c) to qualifying school districts to be 
distributed, based upon the certification of the commissioner of 
revenue, as follows: 
    (a) 5.5 cents per taxable ton to the school districts in 
which the lands from which taconite was mined or quarried were 
located or within which the concentrate was produced.  The 
distribution must be based on the apportionment formula 
prescribed in clause (1). 
    (b) (i) 22 cents per taxable ton, less any amount 
distributed under part (d), shall be distributed to a group of 
school districts comprised of those school districts wherein the 
taconite was mined or quarried or the concentrate produced or in 
which there is a qualifying municipality as defined by section 
273.134 in direct proportion to school district indexes as 
follows:  for each school district, its pupil units determined 
under section 124.17 for the prior school year shall be 
multiplied by the ratio of the average adjusted assessed value 
per pupil unit for school districts receiving aid under this 
clause as calculated pursuant to chapter 124A for the school 
year ending prior to distribution to the adjusted assessed value 
per pupil unit of the district.  Each district shall receive 
that portion of the distribution which its index bears to the 
sum of the indices for all school districts that receive the 
distributions.  
    (ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), each school district shall 
receive that receives a distribution under this paragraph 
(b) sections 294.21 to 294.26; 298.23 to 298.28, exclusive of 
any amount received under this clause; 298.34 to 298.39; 298.391 
to 298.396; 298.405; 298.51 to 298.67 or any law imposing a tax 
on several mineral values or any other law distributing proceeds 
in lieu of ad valorem tax assessments on copper or nickel 
properties that is no less than the amount of its levy reduction 
under section 275.125, subdivision 9, for the second year prior 
to the year of the distribution shall receive a distribution 
equal to the difference; the amount necessary to make 
this minimum payment shall be derived from proportionate 
reductions in the initial distribution to other school districts 
under clause (i).  
    (c) On July 15, in years prior to 1988, an amount equal to 
the increase derived by increasing the amount determined by 
clause (3)(b) in the same proportion as the increase in the 
steel mill products index over the base year of 1977 as provided 
in section 298.24, subdivision 1, clause (a), shall be 
distributed to any school district described in clause (3)(b) 
where a levy increase pursuant to section 124A.03, subdivision 
2, is authorized by referendum, according to the following 
formula.  On July 15, 1988 and subsequent years, the increase 
over the amount established for the prior year shall be 
determined according to the increase in the implicit price 
deflator as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1, paragraph 
(a).  Each district shall receive the product of: 
    (i) $150 times the pupil units identified in section 
124.17, subdivision 1, enrolled in the second previous year or 
the 1983-1984 school year, whichever is greater, less the 
product of 1-3/4 mills times the district's taxable valuation in 
the second previous year; times 
    (ii) the lesser of: 
    (A) one, or 
    (B) the ratio of the amount certified pursuant to section 
124A.03, subdivision 2, in the previous year, to the product of 
1-3/4 mills times the district's taxable valuation in the second 
previous year. 
     If the total amount provided by clause (3)(c) is 
insufficient to make the payments herein required then the 
entitlement of $150 per pupil unit shall be reduced uniformly so 
as not to exceed the funds available.  Any amounts received by a 
qualifying school district in any fiscal year pursuant to clause 
(3)(c) shall not be applied to reduce foundation aids which the 
district is entitled to receive pursuant to section 124A.02 or 
the permissible levies of the district.  Any amount remaining 
after the payments provided in this paragraph shall be paid to 
the commissioner of iron range resources and rehabilitation who 
shall deposit the same in the taconite environmental protection 
fund and the northeast Minnesota economic protection trust fund 
as provided in clause (9). 
     (d) There shall be distributed to any school district the 
amount which the school district was entitled to receive under 
section 298.32 in 1975. 
    (4) 16.5 cents per taxable ton to counties to be 
distributed, based upon certification by the commissioner of 
revenue, as follows: 
    (a) 13 cents per taxable ton shall be distributed to the 
county in which the taconite is mined or quarried or in which 
the concentrate is produced, less any amount which is to be 
distributed pursuant to part (b).  The apportionment formula 
prescribed in clause (1) is the basis for the distribution. 
    (b) If an electric power plant owned by and providing the 
primary source of power for a taxpayer mining and concentrating 
taconite is located in a county other than the county in which 
the mining and the concentrating processes are conducted, one 
cent per taxable ton of the tax distributed to the counties 
pursuant to part (a) and imposed on and collected from such 
taxpayer shall be paid to the county in which the power plant is 
located. 
    (c) 3.5 cents per taxable ton shall be paid to the county 
from which the taconite was mined, quarried or concentrated to 
be deposited in the county road and bridge fund.  If the mining, 
quarrying and concentrating, or separate steps in any of those 
processes are carried on in more than one county, the 
commissioner shall follow the apportionment formula prescribed 
in clause (1). 
    (5) (a) 22 cents per taxable ton, less any amount required 
to be distributed under parts (b) and (c), to St. Louis county 
acting as the counties' fiscal agent, to be distributed as 
provided in sections 273.134 to 273.136. 
    (b) If an electric power plant owned by and providing the 
primary source of power for a taxpayer mining and concentrating 
taconite is located in a county other than the county in which 
the mining and the concentrating processes are conducted, .1875 
cent per taxable ton of the tax imposed and collected from such 
taxpayer shall be paid to the county. 
     (c) If an electric power plant owned by and providing the 
primary source of power for a taxpayer mining and concentrating 
taconite is located in a school district other than a school 
district in which the mining and concentrating processes are 
conducted, .5625 cent per taxable ton of the tax imposed and 
collected from the taxpayer shall be paid to the school district.
    (6) Three cents per taxable ton shall be paid to the iron 
range resources and rehabilitation board for the purposes of 
section 298.22.  The amount determined in this clause shall be 
increased in 1981 and subsequent years prior to 1988 in the same 
proportion as the increase in the steel mill products index as 
provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1 and shall be increased 
in 1988 and subsequent years according to the increase in the 
implicit price deflator as provided in section 298.24, 
subdivision 1.  The amount distributed pursuant to this clause 
shall be expended within or for the benefit of a tax relief area 
defined in section 273.134.  No part of the fund provided in 
this clause may be used to provide loans for the operation of 
private business unless the loan is approved by the governor and 
the legislative advisory commission. 
    (7) (a) .20 cent per taxable ton shall be paid to the range 
association of municipalities and schools, for the purpose of 
providing an areawide approach to problems which demand 
coordinated and cooperative actions and which are common to 
those areas of northeast Minnesota affected by operations 
involved in mining iron ore and taconite and producing 
concentrate therefrom, and for the purpose of promoting the 
general welfare and economic development of the cities, towns 
and school districts within the iron range area of northeast 
Minnesota. 
    (b) 1.5 cents per taxable ton shall be paid to the 
northeast Minnesota economic protection trust fund.  
    (8) the amounts determined under clauses (5)(a) and (7)(b) 
shall be increased in 1979 and subsequent years prior to 1988 in 
the same proportion as the increase in the steel mill products 
index as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1.  Those 
amounts shall be increased in 1988 and subsequent years in the 
same proportion as the increase in the implicit price deflator 
as provided in section 298.24, subdivision 1.  
    The amounts distributions per ton determined under clauses 
(4)(a), (4)(c), (5)(b), and (5)(c) for distribution in 1987 1988 
and subsequent years shall be the amount distribution per ton 
determined for distribution in 1986 under Minnesota Statutes 
1985 Supplement, section 298.28, subdivision 1, clauses (4)(a), 
(4)(c), and (5)(b) 1987. 
    (9) the proceeds of the tax imposed by section 298.24 which 
remain after the distributions and payments in clauses (1) to 
(8), as certified by the commissioner of revenue, and parts (a) 
and (b) of this clause have been made, together with interest 
earned on all money distributed under this subdivision prior to 
distribution, shall be divided between the taconite 
environmental protection fund created in section 298.223 and the 
northeast Minnesota economic protection trust fund created in 
section 298.292 as follows:  Two-thirds to the taconite 
environmental protection fund and one-third to the northeast 
Minnesota economic protection trust fund.  The proceeds shall be 
placed in the respective special accounts. 
    (a) There shall be distributed to each city, town, school 
district, and county the amount that they received under section 
294.26 in calendar year 1977; provided, however, that the amount 
distributed in 1981 to the unorganized territory number 2 of 
Lake county and the town of Beaver Bay based on the 
between-terminal trackage of Erie Mining Company will be 
distributed in 1982 and subsequent years to the unorganized 
territory number 2 of Lake county and the towns of Beaver Bay 
and Stony River based on the miles of track of Erie Mining 
Company in each taxing district. 
    (b) There shall be distributed to the iron range resources 
and rehabilitation board the amounts it received in 1977 under 
section 298.22. 
     On or before October 10 of each calendar year each producer 
of taconite or iron sulphides subject to taxation under section 
298.24 (hereinafter called "taxpayer") shall file with the 
commissioner of revenue an estimate of the amount of tax which 
would be payable by such taxpayer under said law for such 
calendar year; provided such estimate shall be in an amount not 
less than the amount due on the mining and production of 
concentrates up to September 30 of said year plus the amount 
becoming due because of probable production between September 30 
and December 31 of said year, less any credit allowable as 
hereinafter provided.  The commissioner of revenue shall 
annually on or before October 10 report an estimated 
distribution amount to each taxing district and the officers 
with whom such report is so filed shall use the amount so 
indicated as being distributable to each taxing district in 
computing the permissible tax levy of such county or city in the 
year in which such estimate is made, and payable in the next 
ensuing calendar year, except that one cent per taxable ton of 
the amount distributed under clause (4)(c) shall not be deducted 
in calculating the permissible levy.  In any calendar year in 
which a general property tax levy subject to sections 275.50 to 
275.59 has been made, if the taxes distributable to any such 
county or city are greater than the amount estimated by the 
commissioner to be paid to any such county or city in such year, 
the excess of such distribution shall be held in a special fund 
by the county or city and shall not be expended until the 
succeeding calendar year, and shall be included in computing the 
permissible levies under sections 275.50 to 275.59, of such 
county or city payable in such year.  If the amounts 
distributable to any such county or city after final 
determination by the commissioner of revenue under this section 
are less than the amounts by which a taxing district's levies 
were reduced pursuant to this section, such county or city may 
issue certificates of indebtedness in the amount of the 
shortage, and may include in its next tax levy, in excess of the 
limitations of sections 275.50 to 275.59 an amount sufficient to 
pay such certificates of indebtedness and interest thereon, or, 
if no certificates were issued, an amount equal to such shortage.

reorganization plan from the fourth judicial district is 
certified to the secretary of state prior to July 1, 1986, all 
candidates for judgeships in the fourth judicial district shall 
file and run for the office of district judge as if a 
reorganization plan, filed pursuant to this section, were in 
effect.

Laws 1986, chapter 455, section 21, subdivision 1, is amended to 
read: 
    Subdivision 1.  [CREATION.] The Minnesota joint 
underwriting association is created to provide insurance 
coverage to any person or entity unable to obtain insurance 
through ordinary methods if the insurance is required by 
statute, ordinance, or otherwise required by law, or is 
necessary to earn a livelihood or conduct a business and serves 
a public purpose.  Prudent business practice or mere desire to 
have insurance coverage is not a sufficient standard for the 
association to offer insurance coverage to a person or entity.  
The association shall be specifically authorized to provide 
insurance coverage to day care providers, foster parents, foster 
homes, developmental achievement centers, group homes, and 
sheltered workshops for mentally, emotionally, or physically 
handicapped persons, and citizen participation groups 
established pursuant to the housing and community redevelopment 
act of 1974, Public Law Number 93-383.  Because the activities 
of certain persons or entities present a risk that is so great, 
the association shall not offer insurance coverage to any person 
or entity the board of directors of the association determines 
is outside the intended scope and purpose of the association 
because of the gravity of the risk of offering insurance 
coverage.  The association shall not offer environmental 
impairment liability or product liability insurance, or.  The 
association shall not offer coverage for activities that are 
conducted substantially outside the state of Minnesota unless 
the insurance is required by statute, ordinance, or otherwise 
required by law.  Every insurer authorized to write property and 
casualty insurance in this state shall be a member of the 
association as a condition to obtaining and retaining a license 
to write insurance in this state.

    Subd. 2.  [RATES FOR INPATIENT HOSPITALS.] Rates paid to 
inpatient hospitals shall be based on a rate per admission until 
the commissioner can begin to reimburse hospitals for services 
under the medical assistance and general assistance medical care 
programs based upon a diagnostic classification system 
appropriate to the service populations.  On July 1, 1984, the 
commissioner shall begin to utilize to the extent possible 
existing classification systems, including medicare.  The 
commissioner may incorporate the grouping of hospitals with 
similar characteristics for uniform rates upon the development 
and implementation of the diagnostic classification system.  
Prior to implementation of the diagnostic classification system, 
the commissioner shall report the proposed grouping of hospitals 
to the senate health and human services committee and the house 
health and welfare committee.  Effective August 1, 1985, the 
computation of the base year cost per admission and the 
computation of the relative values of the diagnostic categories 
must include identified outlier cases and their weighted costs 
up to the point that they become outlier cases, but must exclude 
costs and days beyond that point.  Claims paid for care provided 
on or after August 1, 1985, may shall be adjusted to reflect a 
recomputation of rates.  The commissioner shall may reconstitute 
the diagnostic categories to reflect actual hospital practices, 
the specific character of specialty hospitals, or to reduce 
variances within the diagnostic categories after notice in the 
state register and a 30 day comment period.  After May 1, 1986, 
acute care hospital billings under the medical assistance and 
general assistance medical care programs must not be submitted 
until the recipient is discharged.  However, the commissioner 
shall establish monthly interim payments with inpatient 
hospitals that have individual patient lengths of stay in excess 
of 30 days regardless of diagnosis-related group.  For purposes 
of establishing interim rates, the commissioner is exempt from 
the requirements of chapter 14.  Medical assistance and general 
assistance medical care reimbursement for treatment of mental 
illness shall be reimbursed based upon diagnosis 
classifications.  The commissioner may selectively contract with 
hospitals for services within the diagnostic classifications 
relating to mental illness and chemical dependency under 
competitive bidding when reasonable geographic access by 
recipients can be assured.  No physician shall be denied the 
privilege of treating a recipient required to utilize a hospital 
under contract with the commissioner, as long as the physician 
meets credentialing standards of the individual hospital.

    524.2-109 [MEANING OF CHILD AND RELATED TERMS.] 
    If, for purposes of intestate succession, a relationship of 
parent and child must be established to determine succession by, 
through, or from a person:  
    (1) An adopted person is the child of an adopting parent 
and not of the natural parents except that adoption of a child 
by the spouse of a natural parent has no effect on the 
relationship between the child and that natural parent.  If a 
parent dies and a child is subsequently adopted by a stepparent 
who is the spouse of a surviving parent, any rights of 
inheritance of the child or the child's issue from or through 
the deceased parent of the child which exist at the time of the 
death of that parent shall not be affected by the adoption.  
    (2) In cases not covered by clause (1), a person born out 
of wedlock is a child of the mother.  That person is also a 
child of the father, if:  
    (i) the natural parents participated in a marriage ceremony 
before or after the birth of the child, even though the 
attempted marriage is void; or 
    (ii) the paternity is established by an adjudication or by 
acknowledgment, consent, or agreement pursuant to sections 
257.51 to 257.74 before the death of the father or is 
established thereafter by clear and convincing proof, except 
that the paternity established under this clause is ineffective 
to qualify the father or his kindred to inherit from or through 
the child unless the father has openly treated the child as his, 
and has not refused to support the child is the child of the 
person's parents regardless of the marital status of the parents 
and the parent and child relationship may be established under 
the parentage act, sections 257.51 to 257.74. 
    Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1985 Supplement, section 
524.2-202, is amended to read: 
    524.2-202 [AUGMENTED ESTATE.] 
    The augmented estate means the estate reduced by funeral 
and administration expenses, the homestead, family allowances 
and exemptions, liens, mortgages, and enforceable claims, to 
which is added the sum of the following amounts:  
    (1) The value of property, other than the homestead, 
transferred by the decedent at any time during the marriage, to 
or for the benefit of any person other than the surviving 
spouse, to the extent that the decedent did not receive adequate 
and full consideration in money or money's worth for the 
transfer, if the transfer is of any of the following types:  
    (i) any transfer under which the decedent retained at the 
time of death the possession or enjoyment of, or right to income 
from, the property;  
    (ii) any transfer to the extent that the decedent retained 
at the time of death a power, either alone or in conjunction 
with any other person, to revoke or to consume, invade or 
dispose of the principal for his or her own benefit;  
    (iii) any transfer whereby property is held at the time of 
decedent's death by decedent and another with right of 
survivorship;  
    (iv) any transfer made within one year of death of the 
decedent to the extent that the aggregate transfers to any one 
donee in the year exceeds $30,000.  
    Any transfer is excluded if made with the written consent 
or joinder of the surviving spouse.  Property is valued as of 
the decedent's death except that property given irrevocably to a 
donee during lifetime of the decedent is valued as of the date 
the donee came into possession or enjoyment if that occurs first.
Nothing in this section shall cause any life insurance, accident 
insurance, joint annuity, or pension or profit-sharing plan 
payable to a person other than the surviving spouse to be 
included in the augmented estate.  
    (2) The value of property, other than the homestead, owned 
by the surviving spouse at the decedent's death, plus the value 
of property transferred by the spouse at any time during 
marriage to any person other than the decedent which would have 
been includable in the spouse's augmented estate if the 
surviving spouse had predeceased the decedent, to the extent the 
owned or transferred property is derived from the decedent by 
any means other than testate or intestate succession or as an 
obligation of support without a full consideration in money or 
money's worth.  For purposes of this clause:  
    (i) Property derived from the decedent includes, but is not 
limited to, any beneficial interest of the surviving spouse in a 
trust created by the decedent during the decedent's lifetime,; 
any property appointed to the spouse by the decedent's exercise 
of a general or special power of appointment also exercisable in 
favor of others than the spouse,; any proceeds of insurance, 
including accidental death benefits, on the life of the decedent 
attributable to premiums paid by the decedent; any lump sum 
immediately payable and the commuted value of the proceeds of 
annuity contracts under which the decedent was the primary 
annuitant attributable to premiums paid by the decedent; the 
commuted value of amounts payable after the decedent's death 
under any public or private pension, disability compensation, 
benefit, or retirement plan or account, excluding the federal 
social security system, by reason of service performed, 
disabilities incurred, or deposits made by the decedent; any 
property held at the time of decedent's death by decedent and 
the surviving spouse with right of survivorship,; any property 
held by decedent and transferred by contract to the surviving 
spouse by reason of the decedent's death,; and the value of the 
share of the surviving spouse resulting from rights in community 
property in this or any other state formerly owned with the 
decedent.  The augmented estate does not include the proceeds of 
life insurance payable upon the death of the decedent, in lump 
sum or in the form of an annuity, accident insurance, joint 
annuity or pension or profit-sharing plan, nor does it include 
premiums paid therefor by the decedent or any other person.  
    (ii) Property owned by the spouse at the decedent's death 
is valued as of the date of death.  Property transferred by the 
spouse is valued at the time the transfer became irrevocable, or 
at the decedent's death, whichever occurred first.  Income 
earned by included property prior to the decedent's death is not 
treated as property derived from the decedent.  
    (iii) Property owned by the surviving spouse as of the 
decedent's death of the kind described in clause (2)(i) is 
presumed to have been derived from the decedent except to the 
extent that the surviving spouse establishes that it was derived 
from another source.  All other property owned by the surviving 
spouse as of the decedent's death, or previously transferred by 
the surviving spouse, is presumed not to have been derived from 
the decedent except to the extent that an interested party 
establishes that it was derived from the decedent.  
    (3) The value of property paid to, or for the benefit of, a 
person other than the surviving spouse as a result of the 
decedent's death if the property is any of the following types: 
    (i) proceeds of insurance, including accidental death 
benefits, but excluding (1) insurance required by a judgment and 
decree or court order; (2) credit life insurance; (3) insurance 
required by the terms of a contract; (4) insurance obtained for 
the purpose of discharging any other liability, contingent or 
fixed, to the extent the proceeds are used to discharge the 
liability; or (5) insurance obtained for a bona fide business 
purpose; 
    (ii) a lump sum immediately payable, or the commuted value 
of the proceeds of annuity contracts under which the decedent 
was the primary annuitant attributable to premiums paid by the 
decedent during the marriage; or 
     (iii) the commuted value of amounts payable after the 
decedent's death under any public or private pension, disability 
compensation, benefit, or retirement plan or account, excluding 
the federal social security system, by reason of service 
performed, disabilities incurred, or deposits made by the 
decedent, attributable to premiums or contributions paid by the 
decedent during the marriage. 
    For purposes of this clause, premiums paid by the 
decedent's employer, the decedent's partner, a partnership of 
which the decedent was a member, or the decedent's creditors, 
are deemed to have been paid by the decedent. 
    Unless the payer of the property has received written 
notice of intention to file a petition for the elective share, 
the property may be paid, upon request and satisfactory proof of 
the decedent's death, to the designated beneficiary of the 
property.  Payment made discharges the payer from all claims for 
the amounts paid.  This does not extend to payments made after 
the payer has received written notice of intention to file a 
petition for the elective share.  Unless the notice is withdrawn 
by the surviving spouse, the surviving spouse must concur in any 
demand for withdrawal.  
     For an insurer, the written notice of intention to file a 
petition for the elective share must be mailed to its home 
office by registered mail, return receipt requested, or served 
upon the insurer in the same manner as a summons in a civil 
action.  Upon receipt of written notice of intention to file a 
petition for the elective share, an insurer may pay any amounts 
owed by it specified in clause (3) to the court in which the 
probate proceedings relating to the estate of the decedent are 
venued, or if no proceedings have been commenced, to the court 
having jurisdiction of decedents' estates located in the county 
of the insured's residence.  The court shall hold the funds and, 
upon its determination under section 524.2-205, subsection (d), 
shall order its disbursement in accordance with the 
determination.  If no petition is filed in the court within the 
specified time under section 524.2-205, subsection (a), or if 
filed, the demand for an elective share is withdrawn under 
section 524.2-205, subsection (c), the court shall order 
disbursement to the designated beneficiary.  Payment made to the 
court discharges the insurer from all claims for the amounts 
paid. 
    Upon petition to the probate court by the designated 
beneficiary, the court may order that all or part of the 
property be paid to the designated beneficiary in an amount and 
subject to conditions consistent with this section. 
    Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1985 Supplement, section 
524.2-205, is amended to read: 
    524.2-205 [PROCEEDING FOR ELECTIVE SHARE; TIME LIMIT.] 
    (a) The surviving spouse may elect to take an elective 
share in the augmented net estate by filing in the court and 
mailing or delivering to the personal representative, if any, a 
petition for the elective share within nine months after the 
date of death, or within six months after the probate of the 
decedent's will, whichever limitation last expires.  However, 
nonprobate transfers, described in section 524.2-202, clauses 
(1) and (3), shall not be included within the augmented estate 
for the purpose of computing the elective share, if the petition 
is filed later than nine months after death.  The court may 
extend the time for election as it sees fit for cause shown by 
the surviving spouse before the time for election has expired.  
    (b) The surviving spouse shall give notice of the time and 
place set for hearing to persons interested in the estate and to 
the distributees and recipients of portions of the augmented net 
estate whose interests will be affected by the taking of the 
elective share.  
    (c) The surviving spouse may withdraw his demand for an 
elective share at any time before entry of an order by the court 
determining the elective share.  
    (d) After notice and hearing, the court shall determine the 
amount of the elective share and shall order its payment from 
the assets of the augmented net estate or by contribution as 
appears appropriate under section 524.2-207.  If it appears that 
a fund or property included in the augmented net estate has not 
come into the possession of the personal representative, or has 
been distributed by the personal representative, the court 
nevertheless shall fix the liability of any person who has any 
interest in the fund or property or who has possession thereof, 
whether as trustee or otherwise.  The proceeding may be 
maintained against fewer than all persons against whom relief 
could be sought, but no person is subject to contribution in any 
greater amount than he would have been if relief had been 
secured against all persons subject to contribution.  
    (e) The order or judgment of the court may be enforced as 
necessary in suit for contribution or payment in other courts of 
this state or other jurisdictions.  
    (f) Whether or not an election has been made under 
subsection (a), the surviving spouse may elect statutory rights 
in the homestead by filing in the manner provided in this 
section a petition in which the spouse asserts the rights 
provided in section 525.145, provided that: 
    (1) when the homestead is subject to a testamentary 
disposition, the filing must be within nine months after the 
date of death, or within six months after the probate of the 
decedent's will, whichever limitation last expires; or 
    (2) where the homestead is subject to other disposition, 
the filing must be within nine months after the date of death. 
    The court may extend the time for election for cause shown 
by the surviving spouse before the time for filing has expired.  
    Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1985 Supplement, section 
525.145, is amended to read: 
    525.145 [DESCENT OF HOMESTEAD.] 
    (1) Where there is a surviving spouse the homestead, 
including a manufactured home which is the family residence, 
shall descend free from any testamentary or other disposition 
thereof to which the spouse has not consented in writing or by 
election to take under the will as provided by law, as follows: 
    (a) if there be no surviving child or issue of any deceased 
child, to the spouse; 
    (b) if there be children or issue of deceased children 
surviving, then to the spouse for the term of the spouse's 
natural life and the remainder in equal shares to the children 
and the issue of deceased children by right of representation. 
    (2) Where there is no surviving spouse and the homestead 
has not been disposed of by will it shall descend as other real 
estate. 
    (3) Where the homestead passes by descent or will to the 
spouse or children or issue of deceased children, it shall be 
exempt from all debts which were not valid charges thereon at 
the time of decedent's death except that the homestead shall be 
subject to a claim filed pursuant to section 246.53 for state 
hospital care or 256B.15 for medical assistance benefits.  If 
the homestead passes to a person other than a spouse or child or 
issue of a deceased child, it shall be subject to the payment of 
the items mentioned in section 524.2-101.  No lien or other 
charge against any homestead which is so exempted shall be 
enforced in the probate court, but the claimant may enforce the 
lien or charge by an appropriate action in the district court. 
    (4) For purposes of this section, except as provided in 
section 524.2-301, the surviving spouse is deemed to consent to 
any testamentary or other disposition of the homestead to which 
the spouse has not previously consented in writing unless the 
spouse files in the manner provided in section 524.2-205, 
subsection (f), a petition that asserts the homestead rights 
provided to the spouse by this section.  
    Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 525.539, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
    Subd. 7.  [BEST INTERESTS OF THE WARD OR CONSERVATEE.] 
"Best interests of the ward or conservatee" means all relevant 
factors to be considered or evaluated by the court in nominating 
a guardian or conservator, including but not limited to: 
    (1) the reasonable preference of the ward or conservatee, 
if the court determines the ward or conservatee has sufficient 
capacity to express a preference; 
    (2) the interaction between the proposed guardian or 
conservator and the ward or conservatee; and 
    (3) the interest and commitment of the proposed guardian or 
conservator in promoting the welfare of the ward or conservatee 
and the proposed guardian's or conservator's ability to maintain 
a current understanding of the ward's or conservatee's physical 
and mental status and needs.  In the case of a ward or a 
conservatorship of the person, welfare includes: 
    (i) food, clothing, shelter, and appropriate medical care; 
    (ii) social, emotional, religious, and recreational 
requirements; and 
    (iii) training, education, and rehabilitation.  
    Kinship is not a conclusive factor in determining the best 
interests of the ward or conservatee but should be considered to

and appoint a new guardian or conservator, the court shall 
consider whether the existing guardian or conservator has

interests of the ward or conservatee.  The court shall appoint a 
new guardian or conservator if it finds that: 
    (1) the existing guardian or conservator has failed to 
perform the duties associated with the guardianship or 
conservatorship or to provide for the best interests of the ward 
or conservatee; and 
    (2) the best interests of the ward or conservatee will be
