        increase the number of individuals 
        subject to pretrial detention or the 
        length of time those individuals are 
        detained; 
        (5) the extent to which an amendment to 
        the Rules of Criminal Procedure 
        requiring the presentence detention of 
        persons whose presumptive sentence 
        under the sentencing guidelines is 
        commitment to the commissioner of

        detention or the length of time that 
        those persons are detained; 
        (6) the extent, if any, to which 
        increasing the number of individuals 
        subject to pretrial or presentence 
        detention or the length of time that 
        those individuals are detained 
        decreases the number of crimes 
        committed by persons on release or the 
        number of persons not appearing as 
        directed by the court; 
        (7) costs associated with increasing 
        the number of individuals subject to 
        pretrial or presentence detention or 
        the length of time that those 
        individuals are detained; and 
        (8) an analysis of the comparative 
        costs of fully funding pretrial 
        services as compared with the costs of 
        increased pretrial detention. 
        The commissioner shall report the 
        findings of this study to the chairs 
        and ranking minority members of the 
        senate and house committees and 
        divisions having jurisdiction over 
        criminal justice funding and policy by 
        January 15, 1999.  The report also must 
        include recommendations, if any, on how 
        pretrial and presentence release laws 
        and rules may be amended within the 
        current constitutional framework to 
        lower the risk that persons on release 
        will commit new offenses or not appear 
        as directed by the court.

        determine the effectiveness and 
        efficiency of current criminal justice 
        programs and explore new methods for 
        improving public safety.  In addition

        these potential uses.  The study also 
        shall address any data privacy issues 
        that are raised by the use of 
        biometrics in law enforcement.  By

        the results of the study to the chairs 
        and ranking minority members of the 
        senate and house committees and 
        divisions having jurisdiction over 
        criminal justice policy and funding. 
        The center shall conduct a study of the 
        guilty but mentally ill verdict and 
        report preliminary findings and 
        recommendations by March 1, 1999, and 
        final findings and recommendations by 
        November 1, 1999, to the chairs and 
        ranking members of the senate and house

        policy and funding.  As part of this 
        study the center shall examine the laws 
        of states that have adopted this 
        verdict and issues associated with its 
        implementation.  In addition, the 
        center shall consider other issues 
        involving mental health and the 
        criminal justice system such as the 
        mental illness defense, current mental 
        health treatment provided to inmates at 
        state correctional facilities, and 
        current use of the civil commitment 
        process. 
        The center also shall conduct a review 
        of the criminal justice projects and 
        programs that have received an 
        appropriation from the legislature at 
        any time from 1989 to 1998.  This 
        review must include, for each program, 
        a description of the program, the 
        amount of the appropriation made to the 
        program each year and the total amount 
        of appropriations received by the 
        program during the past ten years, a 
        summary of the program's stated 
        objectives at the time the 
        appropriation was made, an evaluation 
        of the program's performance in light 
        of its stated objectives, and any other 
        related issues that the center believes 
        will contribute to an accurate 
        assessment of the program's success.  
        The center shall issue a preliminary 
        report by March 1, 1999, and a final 
        report by November 1, 1999, to the 
        chairs and ranking minority members of 
        the senate and house committees and 
        divisions having jurisdiction over 
        criminal justice funding and policy on 
        the results of its review. 
        Sec. 14.  LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMISSION      -0-          75,000 
        The legislative audit commission is 
        requested to direct the legislative 
        auditor to conduct a study or contract 
        to conduct a study of the costs that 
        criminal activity places on state and 
        local communities.  If the audit 
        commission approves the study, $75,000 
        is appropriated to the commission to 
        conduct the study in two phases.  This 
        appropriation is available until June 
        30, 2000. 
        In phase one, the auditor shall 
        investigate the feasibility of 
        conducting the research study and, at a 
        minimum, do the following: 
        (1) identify and review prior research 
        studies that have sought to assess the 
        direct and indirect costs of crime; 
        (2) evaluate the methodological 
        strengths and weaknesses of these prior 
        research studies; 
        (3) evaluate what types of data would 
        be needed to conduct such a study and 
        whether such data are reasonably 
        available; and 
        (4) make recommendations concerning how 
        a research study of the costs of crime 
        to Minnesota and its communities could 
        be defined and performed so as to 
        provide reliable information and 
        objective conclusions to policymakers 
        and participants in the criminal 
        justice system. 
        By March 15, 1999, the legislative 
        auditor shall report the results of 
        phase one of the study to the chairs 
        and ranking minority members of the 
        house and senate committees and 
        divisions having jurisdiction over 
        criminal justice policy and funding. 
        In phase two, the auditor shall focus 
        on both the direct costs to the state 
        and local governments of responding to, 
        prosecuting, and punishing criminal 
        offenders, but also the indirect costs 
        that criminal activity places on local 
        communities and their residents.  To 
        the extent possible, the study shall 
        compare, by offense type, the costs of 
        imprisoning an offender to the costs of 
        criminal behavior if the offender is 
        not incarcerated.  The auditor shall 
        report the findings of phase two of the 
        study to the chairs and ranking 
        minority members of the senate and 
        house committees and divisions having 
        jurisdiction over criminal justice 
        funding and policy by February 15, 2000.

        forensic pathologist skilled in making 
        such presentations to serve as a 
        consultant to prosecutors statewide for

        units shall detail the costs they have 
        incurred along with any other

        reimburses local governmental units 
        demonstrating the greatest need.  Of 
        this appropriation, up to $40,000 may

        corrections officer is unavailable or if service is made by 
        publication, without requiring the petitioner to make

        petitioner's fees and costs. 
           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 518B.01,

           Subd. 5.  [HEARING ON APPLICATION; NOTICE.] (a) Upon 
        receipt of the petition, the court shall order a hearing which 
        shall be held not later than 14 days from the date of the 
        order.  If an ex parte order has been issued under subdivision 7 
        and a hearing requested, the time periods under subdivision 7 
        for holding a hearing apply.  Personal service shall be made 
        upon the respondent not less than five days prior to the 
        hearing, if the hearing was requested by the petitioner.  If the 
        hearing was requested by the respondent after issuance of an ex 
        parte order under subdivision 7, service of the notice of 
        hearing must be made upon the petitioner not less than five days 
        prior to the hearing.  The court shall serve the notice of 
        hearing upon the petitioner by mail in the manner provided in 
        the rules of civil procedure for pleadings subsequent to a 
        complaint and motions and shall also mail notice of the date and 
        time of the hearing to the respondent.  In the event that 
        service cannot be completed in time to give the respondent or 
        petitioner the minimum notice required under this paragraph, the 
        court may set a new hearing date.  
           (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), 
        service on the respondent may be made by one week published 
        notice, as provided under section 645.11, provided the 
        petitioner files with the court an affidavit stating that an 
        attempt at personal service made by a sheriff or other law 
        enforcement or corrections officer was unsuccessful because the 
        respondent is avoiding service by concealment or otherwise, and 
        that a copy of the petition and notice of hearing has been 
        mailed to the respondent at the respondent's residence or that 
        the residence is not known to the petitioner.  Service under 
        this paragraph is complete seven days after publication.  The 
        court shall set a new hearing date if necessary to allow the 
        respondent the five-day minimum notice required under paragraph 
        (a). 
           Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 518B.01,

           Subd. 6.  [RELIEF BY THE COURT.] (a) Upon notice and

           (1) restrain the abusing party from committing acts of 
        domestic abuse; 
           (2) exclude the abusing party from the dwelling which the 
        parties share or from the residence of the petitioner; 
           (3) exclude the abusing party from a reasonable area 
        surrounding the dwelling or residence, which area shall be 
        described specifically in the order; 
           (4) award temporary custody or establish temporary 
        visitation with regard to minor children of the parties on a 
        basis which gives primary consideration to the safety of the 
        victim and the children.  Except for cases in which custody is 
        contested, findings under section 257.025, 518.17, or 518.175 
        are not required.  If the court finds that the safety of the 
        victim or the children will be jeopardized by unsupervised or 
        unrestricted visitation, the court shall condition or restrict 
        visitation as to time, place, duration, or supervision, or deny 
        visitation entirely, as needed to guard the safety of the victim 
        and the children.  The court's decision on custody and 
        visitation shall in no way delay the issuance of an order for 
        protection granting other reliefs provided for in this section; 
           (5) on the same basis as is provided in chapter 518, 
        establish temporary support for minor children or a spouse, and 
        order the withholding of support from the income of the person 
        obligated to pay the support according to chapter 518; 
           (6) provide upon request of the petitioner counseling or 
        other social services for the parties, if married, or if there 
        are minor children; 
           (7) order the abusing party to participate in treatment or 
        counseling services; 
           (8) award temporary use and possession of property and 
        restrain one or both parties from transferring, encumbering, 
        concealing, or disposing of property except in the usual course 
        of business or for the necessities of life, and to account to 
        the court for all such transfers, encumbrances, dispositions, 
        and expenditures made after the order is served or communicated 
        to the party restrained in open court; 
           (9) exclude the abusing party from the place of employment 
        of the petitioner, or otherwise limit access to the petitioner 
        by the abusing party at the petitioner's place of employment; 
           (10) order the abusing party to pay restitution to the 
        petitioner; 
           (11) order the continuance of all currently available 
        insurance coverage without change in coverage or beneficiary 
        designation; and 
           (12) order, in its discretion, other relief as it deems 
        necessary for the protection of a family or household member, 
        including orders or directives to the sheriff or, constable, or 
        other law enforcement or corrections officer as provided by this 
        section. 
           (b) Any relief granted by the order for protection shall be 
        for a fixed period not to exceed one year, except when the court 
        determines a longer fixed period is appropriate.  When a referee 
        presides at the hearing on the petition, the order granting 
        relief becomes effective upon the referee's signature. 
           (c) An order granting the relief authorized in paragraph 
        (a), clause (1), may not be vacated or modified in a proceeding 
        for dissolution of marriage or legal separation, except that the 
        court may hear a motion for modification of an order for 
        protection concurrently with a proceeding for dissolution of 
        marriage upon notice of motion and motion.  The notice required 
        by court rule shall not be waived.  If the proceedings are 
        consolidated and the motion to modify is granted, a separate 
        order for modification of an order for protection shall be 
        issued. 
           (d) An order granting the relief authorized in paragraph 
        (a), clause (2), is not voided by the admittance of the abusing 
        party into the dwelling from which the abusing party is excluded.
           (e) If a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal 
        separation is pending between the parties, the court shall 
        provide a copy of the order for protection to the court with 
        jurisdiction over the dissolution or separation proceeding for 
        inclusion in its file. 
           (f) An order for restitution issued under this subdivision 
        is enforceable as civil judgment. 
           Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 518B.01, is

           Subd. 9a.  [SERVICE BY OTHERS.] Peace officers licensed by

        to a minimum of ten days imprisonment and must be ordered to 
        participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
        by the court.  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the court must 
        impose and execute the minimum sentence provided in this 
        paragraph for gross misdemeanor convictions. 
           (d) A person is guilty of a felony and may be sentenced to

        stays imposition or execution of sentence, the court shall 
        impose at least a 30-day period of incarceration as a condition 
        of probation.  The court also shall order that the defendant 
        participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
        by the court.  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the court must 
        impose and execute the minimum sentence provided in this 
        paragraph for felony convictions. 
           (e) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take 
        into custody a person whom the peace officer has probable cause

        section or a similar law of another state, the District of 
        Columbia, tribal lands, or United States territories restraining 
        the person or excluding the person from the residence or the 
        petitioner's place of employment, even if the violation of the 
        order did not take place in the presence of the peace officer, 
        if the existence of the order can be verified by the officer.  
        The person shall be held in custody for at least 36 hours, 
        excluding the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, unless the 
        person is released earlier by a judge or judicial officer.  A 
        peace officer acting in good faith and exercising due care in 
        making an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is immune from civil 
        liability that might result from the officer's actions. 
           (f) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 
        order for protection and that there is reason to believe that 
        the respondent will commit a further violation of the provisions 
        of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of 
        domestic abuse or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's 
        residence, the court may require the respondent to acknowledge 
        an obligation to comply with the order on the record.  The court 
        may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from 
        committing further violations of the order for protection, 
        considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not 
        to exceed $10,000.  If the respondent refuses to comply with an 
        order to acknowledge the obligation or post a bond under this 
        paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to the county 
        jail during the term of the order for protection or until the 
        respondent complies with the order under this paragraph.  The 
        warrant must state the cause of commitment, with the sum and 
        time for which any bond is required.  If an order is issued 
        under this paragraph, the court may order the costs of the 
        contempt action, or any part of them, to be paid by the 
        respondent.  An order under this paragraph is appealable.  
           (g) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any 
        peace officer, or an interested party designated by the court, 
        alleging that the respondent has violated any order for 
        protection granted pursuant to this section or a similar law of 
        another state, the District of Columbia, tribal lands, or United 
        States territories, the court may issue an order to the 
        respondent, requiring the respondent to appear and show cause 
        within 14 days why the respondent should not be found in 
        contempt of court and punished therefor.  The hearing may be 
        held by the court in any county in which the petitioner or 
        respondent temporarily or permanently resides at the time of the 
        alleged violation, or in the county in which the alleged 
        violation occurred, if the petitioner and respondent do not 
        reside in this state.  The court also shall refer the violation 
        of the order for protection to the appropriate prosecuting 
        authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (b), (c), or 
        (d). 
           (h) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 
        order for protection issued under subdivision 6 or a similar law 
        of another state, the District of Columbia, tribal lands, or 
        United States territories, and the court finds that the order 
        has expired between the time of the alleged violation and the 
        court's hearing on the violation, the court may grant a new 
        order for protection under subdivision 6 based solely on the 
        respondent's alleged violation of the prior order, to be 
        effective until the hearing on the alleged violation of the 
        prior order.  If the court finds that the respondent has 
        violated the prior order, the relief granted in the new order 
        for protection shall be extended for a fixed period, not to 
        exceed one year, except when the court determines a longer fixed 
        period is appropriate. 
           (i) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing 
        party excluded from the dwelling under an order for protection 
        is not a violation by the petitioner of the order for protection.
           A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause 
        (1), for a failure to perform a duty required by paragraph (e). 
           (j) When a person is convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) 
        of violating an order for protection and the court determines 
        that the person used a firearm in any way during commission of 
        the violation, the court may order that the person is prohibited 
        from possessing any type of firearm for any period longer than 
        three years or for the remainder of the person's life.  A person 
        who violates this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.  
        At the time of the conviction, the court shall inform the 
        defendant whether and for how long the defendant is prohibited 
        from possessing a firearm and that it is a gross misdemeanor to 
        violate this paragraph.  The failure of the court to provide 
        this information to a defendant does not affect the 
        applicability of the firearm possession prohibition or the gross 
        misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 
           (k) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), when a 
        person is convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an 
        order for protection, the court shall inform the defendant that 
        the defendant is prohibited from possessing a pistol for three 
        years from the date of conviction and that it is a gross 
        misdemeanor offense to violate this prohibition.  The failure of 
        the court to provide this information to a defendant does not 
        affect the applicability of the pistol possession prohibition or 
        the gross misdemeanor penalty to that defendant. 
           (l) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (j), a person 
        is not entitled to possess a pistol if the person has been 
        convicted under paragraph (b) or (c) after August 1, 1996, of 
        violating an order for protection, unless three years have 
        elapsed from the date of conviction and, during that time, the 
        person has not been convicted of any other violation of this 
        section.  Property rights may not be abated but access may be 
        restricted by the courts.  A person who possesses a pistol in 
        violation of this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
           (m) If the court determines that a person convicted under 
        paragraph (b) or (c) of violating an order for protection owns 
        or possesses a firearm and used it in any way during the 
        commission of the violation, it shall order that the firearm be 
        summarily forfeited under section 609.5316, subdivision 3. 
           Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
        609.2244, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [INVESTIGATION.] A presentence domestic 
        abuse investigation must be conducted and a report submitted to 
        the court by the corrections agency responsible for conducting 
        the investigation when: 
           (1) a defendant is convicted of an offense described in 
        section 518B.01, subdivision 2; or 
           (2) a defendant is arrested for committing an offense 
        described in section 518B.01, subdivision 2, but is convicted of 
        another offense arising out of the same circumstances 
        surrounding the arrest; or 
           (3) a defendant is convicted of a violation against a 
        family or household member of:  (a) an order for protection 
        under section 518B.01; (b) a harassment restraining order under 
        section 609.748; (c) section 609.79, subdivision 1; or (d) 
        section 609.713, subdivision 1. 
           Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
        609.2244, subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 4.  [DOMESTIC ABUSE INVESTIGATION FEE.] When the 
        court sentences a person convicted of an offense described in 
        section 518B.01, subdivision 2 1, the court shall impose a 
        domestic abuse investigation fee of at least $50 but not more 
        than $125.  This fee must be imposed whether the sentence is 
        executed, stayed, or suspended.  The court may not waive payment 
        or authorize payment of the fee in installments unless it makes 
        written findings on the record that the convicted person is 
        indigent or that the fee would create undue hardship for the 
        convicted person or that person's immediate family.  The person 
        convicted of the offense and ordered to pay the fee shall pay 
        the fee to the county corrections department or other designated 
        agencies conducting the investigation. 
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.748, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [CONTENTS OF PETITION; HEARING; NOTICE.] (a) A 
        petition for relief must allege facts sufficient to show the 
        following:  
           (1) the name of the alleged harassment victim; 
           (2) the name of the respondent; and 
           (3) that the respondent has engaged in harassment. 
        The petition shall be accompanied by an affidavit made under 
        oath stating the specific facts and circumstances from which 
        relief is sought.  The court shall provide simplified forms and 
        clerical assistance to help with the writing and filing of a 
        petition under this section and shall advise the petitioner of 
        the right to sue in forma pauperis under section 563.01.  Upon 
        receipt of the petition, the court shall order a hearing, which 
        must be held not later than 14 days from the date of the order.  
        Personal service must be made upon the respondent not less than 
        five days before the hearing.  If personal service cannot be 
        completed in time to give the respondent the minimum notice 
        required under this paragraph, the court may set a new hearing 
        date. 
           (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the order for a hearing 
        and a temporary order issued under subdivision 4 may be served 
        on the respondent by means of a one-week published notice under 
        section 645.11, if: 
           (1) the petitioner files an affidavit with the court 
        stating that an attempt at personal service made by a sheriff 
        was unsuccessful because the respondent is avoiding service by 
        concealment or otherwise; and 
           (2) a copy of the petition and order for hearing and any 
        temporary restraining order has been mailed to the respondent at 
        the respondent's residence or place of business, if the 
        respondent is an organization, or the respondent's residence or 
        place of business is not known to the petitioner. 
           (c) Regardless of the method of service, if the respondent 
        is a juvenile, whenever possible, the court also shall have 
        notice of the pendency of the case and of the time and place of 
        the hearing served by mail at the last known address upon any 
        parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is not the 
        petitioner. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.748, 
        subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 4.  [TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.] (a) The court may 
        issue a temporary restraining order ordering the respondent to 
        cease or avoid the harassment of another person or to have no 
        contact with that person if the petitioner files a petition in 
        compliance with subdivision 3 and if the court finds reasonable 
        grounds to believe that the respondent has engaged in harassment.
           (b) Notice need not be given to the respondent before the 
        court issues a temporary restraining order under this 
        subdivision.  A copy of the restraining order must be served on 
        the respondent along with the order for hearing and petition, as 
        provided in subdivision 3.  If the respondent is a juvenile, 
        whenever possible, a copy of the restraining order, along with 
        notice of the pendency of the case and the time and place of the 
        hearing, shall also be served by mail at the last known address 
        upon any parent or guardian of the juvenile respondent who is 
        not the petitioner.  A temporary restraining order may be 
        entered only against the respondent named in the petition.  
           (c) The temporary restraining order is in effect until a 
        hearing is held on the issuance of a restraining order under 
        subdivision 5.  The court shall hold the hearing on the issuance 
        of a restraining order within 14 days after the temporary 
        restraining order is issued unless (1) the time period is 
        extended upon written consent of the parties; or (2) the time 
        period is extended by the court for one additional 14-day period 
        upon a showing that the respondent has not been served with a 
        copy of the temporary restraining order despite the exercise of 
        due diligence or if service is made by published notice under 
        subdivision 3 and the petitioner files the affidavit required 
        under that subdivision.  
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 634.20, is 
        amended to read: 
           634.20 [EVIDENCE OF PRIOR CONDUCT.] 
           Evidence of similar prior conduct by the accused against 
        the victim of domestic abuse, as defined under section 518B.01, 
        subdivision 2, including evidence of a violation against a 
        family or household member of: 
           (1) an order for protection under section 518B.01; 
           (2) section 609.713, subdivision 1; 
           (3) a harassment restraining order under section 609.748; 
        or 
           (4) section 609.79, subdivision 1; 
        is admissible unless the probative value is substantially 
        outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the 
        issue, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue 
        delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative 
        evidence. 
           Sec. 11.  Laws 1997, chapter 239, article 10, section 1, is 
        amended to read: 
           Section 1.  [PILOT PROGRAM.] 
           Actions under sections 2 to 26 are limited to a pilot 
        program in the 4th judicial district for the period June 1, 
        1998, through July 31, 1999 2000.  At the conclusion of the 
        pilot period, the 4th judicial district shall report to the 
        legislature on the number of petitions filed under sections 2 to 
        26, the relationship of the parties, and the disposition of each 
        petition. 
           Sec. 12.  Laws 1997, chapter 239, article 10, section 19, 
        is amended to read: 
           Sec. 19.  [VIOLATION OF AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION/MINOR 
        RESPONDENT; PENALTIES.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [AFFIDAVIT; ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE.] The 
        petitioner, a peace officer, or an interested party designated 
        by the court may file an affidavit with the court alleging that 
        a minor respondent has violated an order for protection/minor 
        respondent under sections 2 to 26.  The court may order the 
        minor respondent to appear and show cause within 14 days why the 
        minor respondent should not be found in contempt of court and 
        punished for the contempt.  The court may also order the minor 
        to participate in counseling or other appropriate programs 
        selected by the court.  The hearing may be held by the court in 
        any county in which the petitioner or minor respondent 
        temporarily or permanently resides at the time of the alleged 
        violation. or in the county in which the alleged violation 
        occurred, if the petitioner and respondent do not reside in this 
        state.  The court also shall refer the violation of the order 
        for protection/minor respondent to the county attorney for 
        possible prosecution under subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), (c), 
        or (d), or if the respondent is an adult at the time of the 
        alleged violation, to the appropriate prosecuting authority for 
        possible prosecution under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 518B. 
           Subd. 1a.  [PENALTIES.] (a) A person who violates an order 
        for protection/minor respondent issued under this section is 
        subject to the penalties provided in paragraphs (b) to (d), 
        except that if the respondent or person to be restrained is over 
        the age of 18 at the time of the violation, Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 518B.01, subdivision 14, shall apply.  If the respondent 
        is still a minor at the time of the violation, the laws relating 
        to delinquency prosecution and disposition in juvenile court 
        shall apply, consistent with this section and notwithstanding 
        the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 260.015, 
        subdivision 21. 
           (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (d), 
        whenever an order for protection/minor respondent is granted 
        under this section or a similar law of another state, and the 
        respondent or person to be restrained knows of the order, 
        violation of the order for protection/minor respondent is a 
        misdemeanor.  Upon a misdemeanor adjudication of delinquency, 
        the respondent must be ordered to participate in counseling or 
        other appropriate programs selected by the court.  A violation 
        of an order for protection/minor respondent shall also 
        constitute contempt of court and be subject to the penalties 
        provided in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 588. 
           (c) A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor who knowingly 
        violates this subdivision during the time period between a 
        previous adjudication of delinquency under this subdivision; 
        Minnesota Statutes, sections 609.221 to 609.224; 609.2242; 
        609.713, subdivision 1 or 3; 609.748, subdivision 6; 609.749; or 
        a similar law of another state; and the end of the five years 
        following discharge from sentence for that adjudication of 
        delinquency.  Upon a gross misdemeanor adjudication of 
        delinquency under this paragraph, the respondent must be ordered 
        to participate in counseling or other appropriate programs 
        selected by the court. 
           (d) A person is guilty of a felony if the person knowingly 
        violates this subdivision: 
           (1) during the time period between the first of two or more 
        previous adjudications of delinquency under this section or 
        Minnesota Statutes, sections 609.221 to 609.224; 609.2242; 
        609.713, subdivision 1 or 3; 609.748, subdivision 6; 609.749; or 
        a similar law of another state; and the end of the five years 
        following discharge from sentence for that adjudication of 
        delinquency; or 
           (2) while possessing a dangerous weapon, as defined in 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 609.02, subdivision 6. 
        Upon a felony adjudication of delinquency under this paragraph, 
        the court shall order, at a minimum, that the respondent 
        participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
        by the court. 
           (e) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take 
        into custody a person whom the peace officer has probable cause 
        to believe has violated an order granted under this section, 
        Minnesota Statutes, chapter 518B, or a similar law of another 
        state restraining the person or excluding the person from the 
        residence or the petitioner's place of employment, even if the 
        violation of the order did not take place in the presence of the 
        peace officer, if the existence of the order can be verified by 
        the officer.  The person shall be held in custody for at least 
        36 hours, excluding the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, 
        unless the person is released earlier by a judge or judicial 
        officer.  A peace officer acting in good faith and exercising 
        due care in making an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is 
        immune from civil liability that might result from the officer's 
        actions.  A peace officer is not liable under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 609.43, clause (1), for a failure to perform a 
        duty required by this paragraph. 
           (f) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 
        order for protection/minor respondent and that there is reason 
        to believe that the respondent will commit a further violation 
        of the provisions of the order restraining the respondent from 
        committing acts of domestic abuse or excluding the respondent 
        from the petitioner's residence, the court may require the 
        respondent to acknowledge an obligation to comply with the order 
        on the record. 
           Subd. 2.  [EXTENSION OF PROTECTION ORDER.] If it is alleged 
        that a minor respondent has violated an order for 
        protection/minor respondent issued under sections 2 to 26 and 
        the court finds that the order has expired between the time of 
        the alleged violation and the court's hearing on the violation, 
        the court may grant a new order for protection/minor respondent 
        based solely on the minor respondent's alleged violation of the 
        prior order, to be effective until the hearing on the alleged 
        violation of the prior order.  The relief granted in the new 
        order for protection/minor respondent must be extended for a 
        fixed period, not to exceed one year, except when the court 
        determines a longer fixed period is appropriate. 
           Subd. 3.  [ADMITTANCE INTO DWELLING.] Admittance into the 
        petitioner's dwelling of an abusing party excluded from the 
        dwelling under an order for protection/minor respondent is not a 
        violation by the petitioner of the order. 
           Subd. 4.  [POSSESSION OF FIREARM.] (a) When a person is 
        adjudicated delinquent under subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), (c), 
        or (d), of violating an order for protection/minor respondent 
        and the court determines that the person used a firearm in any 
        way during commission of the violation, the court may order that 
        the person is prohibited from possessing any type of firearm for 
        any period longer than three years or for the remainder of the 
        person's life.  A person who violates this paragraph is guilty 
        of a gross misdemeanor.  At the time of the adjudication of 
        delinquency, the court shall inform the respondent whether and 
        for how long the respondent is prohibited from possessing a 
        firearm and that it is a gross misdemeanor to violate this 
        paragraph.  The failure of the court to provide this information 
        to a respondent does not affect the applicability of the firearm 
        possession prohibition or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that 
        respondent. 
           (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), when a 
        person is adjudicated delinquent under subdivision 1a, paragraph 
        (b), (c), or (d), of violating an order for protection/minor 
        respondent, the court shall inform the respondent that the 
        respondent is prohibited from possessing a pistol for three 
        years from the date of adjudication of delinquency and that it 
        is a gross misdemeanor offense to violate this prohibition.  The 
        failure of the court to provide this information to a respondent 
        does not affect the applicability of the pistol possession 
        prohibition or the gross misdemeanor penalty to that respondent. 
           (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), a person 
        is not entitled to possess a pistol if the person has been 
        adjudicated delinquent under subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), (c), 
        or (d), of violating an order for protection/minor respondent, 
        unless three years have elapsed from the date of adjudication of 
        delinquency and, during that time, the person has not been 
        adjudicated delinquent or convicted of any other violation of 
        this section or Minnesota Statutes, chapter 518B.  Property 
        rights may not be abated but access may be restricted by the 
        courts.  A person who possesses a pistol in violation of this 
        paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
           (d) If the court determines that a person adjudicated 
        delinquent under subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), (c), or (d), of 
        violating an order for protection/minor respondent owns or 
        possesses a firearm and used it in any way during the commission 
        of the violation, it shall order that the firearm be summarily 
        forfeited under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.5316, 
        subdivision 3. 
           Sec. 13.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
           Sections 8, 9, 11, and 12 are effective June 1, 1998, and 
        apply to offenses committed on or after that date.  The 
        remaining sections in this article are effective August 1, 1998, 
        and apply to offenses committed on or after that date. 
                                   ARTICLE 6 
                             SENTENCING PROVISIONS 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.095, is 
        amended to read: 
           609.095 [LIMITS OF SENTENCES.] 
           (a) The legislature has the exclusive authority to define 
        crimes and offenses and the range of the sentences or 
        punishments for their violation.  No other or different sentence 
        or punishment shall be imposed for the commission of a crime 
        than is authorized by this chapter or other applicable law.  
           (b) Except as provided in section 152.18 or upon agreement 
        of the parties, a court may not refuse to adjudicate the guilt 
        of a defendant who tenders a guilty plea in accordance with 
        Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure, rule 15, or who has been 
        found guilty by a court or jury following a trial. 
           (c) Paragraph (b) does not supersede Minnesota Rules of 
        Criminal Procedure, rule 26.04. 
           Sec. 2.  [LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE.] 
           Sections 3 to 7 recodify and clarify current laws relating 
        to increased sentences for certain dangerous or repeat offenders 
        in order to group them together near the beginning of the 
        criminal code.  This recodification aims to unify these various 
        increased sentence provisions to facilitate their use and is not 
        intended to result in any substantive change in the recodified 
        sections. 
           Sec. 3.  [609.106] [HEINOUS CRIMES.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [TERMS.] (a) As used in this section, 
        "heinous crime" means:  
           (1) a violation or attempted violation of section 609.185 
        or 609.19; 
           (2) a violation of section 609.195 or 609.221; or 
           (3) a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344, if 
        the offense was committed with force or violence. 
           (b) "Previous conviction" means a conviction in Minnesota 
        for a heinous crime or a conviction elsewhere for conduct that 
        would have been a heinous crime under this chapter if committed 
        in Minnesota.  The term includes any conviction that occurred 
        before the commission of the present offense of conviction, but 
        does not include a conviction if 15 years have elapsed since the 
        person was discharged from the sentence imposed for the offense. 
           Subd. 2.  [LIFE WITHOUT RELEASE.] The court shall sentence 
        a person to life imprisonment without possibility of release 
        under the following circumstances: 
           (1) the person is convicted of first degree murder under 
        section 609.185, clause (2) or (4); or 
           (2) the person is convicted of first degree murder under 
        section 609.185, clause (1), (3), (5), or (6), and the court 
        determines on the record at the time of sentencing that the 
        person has one or more previous convictions for a heinous crime. 
           Sec. 4.  [609.107] [MANDATORY PENALTY FOR CERTAIN 
        MURDERERS.] 
           When a person is convicted of violating section 609.19 or 
        609.195, the court shall sentence the person to the statutory 
        maximum sentence for the offense if the person was previously 
        convicted of a heinous crime as defined in section 609.106 and 
        15 years have not elapsed since the person was discharged from 
        the sentence imposed for that conviction.  The court may not 
        stay the imposition or execution of the sentence, 
        notwithstanding section 609.135. 
           Sec. 5.  [609.108] [MANDATORY INCREASED SENTENCES FOR 
        CERTAIN PATTERNED AND PREDATORY SEX OFFENDERS; NO PRIOR 
        CONVICTION REQUIRED.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [MANDATORY INCREASED SENTENCE.] (a) A court 
        shall commit a person to the commissioner of corrections for a 
        period of time that is not less than double the presumptive 
        sentence under the sentencing guidelines and not more than the 
        statutory maximum, or if the statutory maximum is less than 
        double the presumptive sentence, for a period of time that is 
        equal to the statutory maximum, if: 
           (1) the court is imposing an executed sentence, based on a 
        sentencing guidelines presumptive imprisonment sentence or a 
        dispositional departure for aggravating circumstances or a 
        mandatory minimum sentence, on a person convicted of committing 
        or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 
        609.344, or 609.345, or on a person convicted of committing or 
        attempting to commit any other crime listed in subdivision 3 if 
        it reasonably appears to the court that the crime was motivated 
        by the offender's sexual impulses or was part of a predatory 
        pattern of behavior that had criminal sexual conduct as its 
        goal; 
           (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
        safety; and 
           (3) the court finds that the offender needs long-term 
        treatment or supervision beyond the presumptive term of 
        imprisonment and supervised release.  The finding must be based 
        on a professional assessment by an examiner experienced in 
        evaluating sex offenders that concludes that the offender is a 
        patterned sex offender.  The assessment must contain the facts 
        upon which the conclusion is based, with reference to the 
        offense history of the offender or the severity of the current 
        offense, the social history of the offender, and the results of 
        an examination of the offender's mental status unless the 
        offender refuses to be examined.  The conclusion may not be 
        based on testing alone.  A patterned sex offender is one whose 
        criminal sexual behavior is so engrained that the risk of 
        reoffending is great without intensive psychotherapeutic 
        intervention or other long-term controls. 
           (b) The court shall consider imposing a sentence under this 
        section whenever a person is convicted of violating section 
        609.342 or 609.343. 
           Subd. 2.  [INCREASED STATUTORY MAXIMUM.] If the factfinder 
        determines, at the time of the trial or the guilty plea, that a 
        predatory offense was motivated by, committed in the course of, 
        or committed in furtherance of sexual contact or penetration, as 
        defined in section 609.341, and the court is imposing a sentence 
        under subdivision 1, the statutory maximum imprisonment penalty 
        for the offense is 40 years, notwithstanding the statutory 
        maximum imprisonment penalty otherwise provided for the offense. 
           Subd. 3.  [PREDATORY CRIME.] A predatory crime is a felony 
        violation of section 609.185, 609.19, 609.195, 609.20, 609.205, 
        609.221, 609.222, 609.223, 609.24, 609.245, 609.25, 609.255, 
        609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 609.345, 609.365, 609.498, 609.561, 
        or 609.582, subdivision 1. 
           Subd. 4.  [DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY.] The court shall base 
        its finding that the offender is a danger to public safety on 
        any of the following factors: 
           (1) the crime involved an aggravating factor that would 
        justify a durational departure from the presumptive sentence 
        under the sentencing guidelines; 
           (2) the offender previously committed or attempted to 
        commit a predatory crime or a violation of section 609.224 or 
        609.2242, including: 
           (i) an offense committed as a juvenile that would have been 
        a predatory crime or a violation of section 609.224 or 609.2242 
        if committed by an adult; or 
           (ii) a violation or attempted violation of a similar law of 
        any other state or the United States; or 
           (3) the offender planned or prepared for the crime prior to 
        its commission. 
           Subd. 5.  [DEPARTURE FROM GUIDELINES.] A sentence imposed 
        under subdivision 1 is a departure from the sentencing 
        guidelines. 
           Subd. 6.  [CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] At the time of sentencing 
        under subdivision 1, the court shall provide that after the 
        offender has completed the sentence imposed, less any good time 
        earned by an offender whose crime was committed before August 1, 
        1993, the commissioner of corrections shall place the offender 
        on conditional release for the remainder of the statutory 
        maximum period, or for ten years, whichever is longer. 
           The conditions of release may include successful completion 
        of treatment and aftercare in a program approved by the 
        commissioner, satisfaction of the release conditions specified 
        in section 244.05, subdivision 6, and any other conditions the 
        commissioner considers appropriate.  Before the offender is 
        released, the commissioner shall notify the sentencing court, 
        the prosecutor in the jurisdiction where the offender was 
        sentenced, and the victim of the offender's crime, where 
        available, of the terms of the offender's conditional release.  
        If the offender fails to meet any condition of release, the 
        commissioner may revoke the offender's conditional release and 
        order that the offender serve all or a part of the remaining 
        portion of the conditional release term in prison.  The 
        commissioner shall not dismiss the offender from supervision 
        before the conditional release term expires. 
           Conditional release granted under this subdivision is 
        governed by provisions relating to supervised release, except as 
        otherwise provided in this subdivision, section 244.04, 
        subdivision 1, or 244.05. 
           Subd. 7.  [COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONS.] The commissioner 
        shall pay the cost of treatment of a person released under 
        subdivision 6.  This section does not require the commissioner 
        to accept or retain an offender in a treatment program. 
           Sec. 6.  [609.109] [PRESUMPTIVE AND MANDATORY SENTENCES FOR 
        REPEAT SEX OFFENDERS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION; CONVICTION OF OFFENSE.] For 
        purposes of this section, "offense" means a completed offense or 
        an attempt to commit an offense.  
           Subd. 2.  [PRESUMPTIVE EXECUTED SENTENCE.] Except as 
        provided in subdivision 3 or 4, if a person is convicted under 
        sections 609.342 to 609.345, within 15 years of a previous sex 
        offense conviction, the court shall commit the defendant to the 
        commissioner of corrections for not less than three years, nor 
        more than the maximum sentence provided by law for the offense 
        for which convicted, notwithstanding the provisions of sections 
        242.19, 243.05, 609.11, 609.12, and 609.135.  The court may stay 
        the execution of the sentence imposed under this subdivision 
        only if it finds that a professional assessment indicates the 
        offender is accepted by and can respond to treatment at a 
        long-term inpatient program exclusively treating sex offenders 
        and approved by the commissioner of corrections.  If the court 
        stays the execution of a sentence, it shall include the 
        following as conditions of probation:  
           (1) incarceration in a local jail or workhouse; and 
           (2) a requirement that the offender successfully complete 
        the treatment program and aftercare as directed by the court. 
           Subd. 3.  [MANDATORY LIFE SENTENCE.] (a) The court shall 
        sentence a person to imprisonment for life, notwithstanding the 
        statutory maximum sentence under section 609.342, if: 
           (1) the person has been indicted by a grand jury under this 
        subdivision; 
           (2) the person is convicted under section 609.342; and 
           (3) the court determines on the record at the time of 
        sentencing that any of the following circumstances exists: 
           (i) the person has previously been sentenced under section 
        609.1095; 
           (ii) the person has one previous sex offense conviction for 
        a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344 that 
        occurred before August 1, 1989, for which the person was 
        sentenced to prison in an upward durational departure from the 
        sentencing guidelines that resulted in a sentence at least twice 
        as long as the presumptive sentence; or 
           (iii) the person has two previous sex offense convictions 
        under section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344. 
           (b) Notwithstanding subdivision 2 and section 609.342, 
        subdivision 3, the court may not stay imposition of the sentence 
        required by this subdivision. 
           Subd. 4.  [MANDATORY 30-YEAR SENTENCE.] (a) The court shall 
        commit a person to the commissioner of corrections for not less 
        than 30 years, notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence 
        under section 609.343, if: 
           (1) the person is convicted under section 609.342, 
        subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); or 609.343, 
        subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); and 
           (2) the court determines on the record at the time of 
        sentencing that:  
           (i) the crime involved an aggravating factor that would 
        provide grounds for an upward departure under the sentencing 
        guidelines other than the aggravating factor applicable to 
        repeat criminal sexual conduct convictions; and 
           (ii) the person has a previous sex offense conviction under 
        section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344. 
           (b) Notwithstanding subdivision 2 and sections 609.342, 
        subdivision 3; and 609.343, subdivision 3, the court may not 
        stay imposition or execution of the sentence required by this 
        subdivision. 
           Subd. 5.  [PREVIOUS SEX OFFENSE CONVICTIONS.] For the 
        purposes of this section, a conviction is considered a previous 
        sex offense conviction if the person was convicted of a sex 
        offense before the commission of the present offense of 
        conviction.  A person has two previous sex offense convictions 
        only if the person was convicted and sentenced for a sex offense 
        committed after the person was earlier convicted and sentenced 
        for a sex offense, both convictions preceded the commission of 
        the present offense of conviction, and 15 years have not elapsed 
        since the person was discharged from the sentence imposed for 
        the second conviction.  A "sex offense" is a violation of 
        sections 609.342 to 609.345 or any similar statute of the United 
        States, this state, or any other state. 
           Subd. 6.  [MINIMUM DEPARTURE FOR SEX OFFENDERS.] The court 
        shall sentence a person to at least twice the presumptive 
        sentence recommended by the sentencing guidelines if: 
           (1) the person is convicted under section 609.342, 
        subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); 609.343, 
        subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); or 609.344, 
        subdivision 1, clause (c) or (d); and 
           (2) the court determines on the record at the time of 
        sentencing that the crime involved an aggravating factor that 
        would provide grounds for an upward departure under the 
        sentencing guidelines. 
           Subd. 7.  [CONDITIONAL RELEASE OF SEX OFFENDERS.] (a) 
        Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence otherwise 
        applicable to the offense or any provision of the sentencing 
        guidelines, when a court sentences a person to prison for a 
        violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345, the 
        court shall provide that after the person has completed the 
        sentence imposed, the commissioner of corrections shall place 
        the person on conditional release.  If the person was convicted 
        for a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 
        609.345, the person shall be placed on conditional release for 
        five years, minus the time the person served on supervised 
        release.  If the person was convicted for a violation of one of 
        those sections a second or subsequent time, or sentenced under 
        subdivision 6 to a mandatory departure, the person shall be 
        placed on conditional release for ten years, minus the time the 
        person served on supervised release. 
           (b) The conditions of release may include successful 
        completion of treatment and aftercare in a program approved by 
        the commissioner, satisfaction of the release conditions 
        specified in section 244.05, subdivision 6, and any other 
        conditions the commissioner considers appropriate.  If the 
        offender fails to meet any condition of release, the 
        commissioner may revoke the offender's conditional release and 
        order that the offender serve the remaining portion of the 
        conditional release term in prison.  The commissioner shall not 
        dismiss the offender from supervision before the conditional 
        release term expires. 
           Conditional release under this subdivision is governed by 
        provisions relating to supervised release, except as otherwise 
        provided in this subdivision, section 244.04, subdivision 1, or 
        244.05. 
           (c) The commissioner shall pay the cost of treatment of a 
        person released under this subdivision.  This section does not 
        require the commissioner to accept or retain an offender in a 
        treatment program. 
           Sec. 7.  [609.1095] [INCREASED SENTENCES FOR CERTAIN 
        DANGEROUS AND REPEAT FELONY OFFENDERS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITIONS.] (a) As used in this section, 
        the following terms have the meanings given.  
           (b) "Conviction" means any of the following accepted and 
        recorded by the court:  a plea of guilty, a verdict of guilty by 
        a jury, or a finding of guilty by the court.  The term includes 
        a conviction by any court in Minnesota or another jurisdiction.  
           (c) "Prior conviction" means a conviction that occurred 
        before the offender committed the next felony resulting in a 
        conviction and before the offense for which the offender is 
        being sentenced under this section. 
           (d) "Violent crime" means a violation of or an attempt or 
        conspiracy to violate any of the following laws of this state or

           Subd. 2.  [INCREASED SENTENCES FOR DANGEROUS OFFENDER WHO 
        COMMITS A THIRD VIOLENT CRIME.] Whenever a person is convicted 
        of a violent crime that is a felony, and the judge is imposing 
        an executed sentence based on a sentencing guidelines 
        presumptive imprisonment sentence, the judge may impose an 
        aggravated durational departure from the presumptive 
        imprisonment sentence up to the statutory maximum sentence if 
        the offender was at least 18 years old at the time the felony 
        was committed, and: 
           (1) the court determines on the record at the time of 
        sentencing that the offender has two or more prior convictions 
        for violent crimes; and 
           (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
        safety and specifies on the record the basis for the finding, 
        which may include: 
           (i) the offender's past criminal behavior, such as the 
        offender's high frequency rate of criminal activity or juvenile 
        adjudications, or long involvement in criminal activity 
        including juvenile adjudications; or 
           (ii) the fact that the present offense of conviction 
        involved an aggravating factor that would justify a durational 
        departure under the sentencing guidelines. 
           Subd. 3.  [MANDATORY SENTENCE FOR DANGEROUS OFFENDER WHO 
        COMMITS A THIRD VIOLENT FELONY.] (a) Unless a longer mandatory 
        minimum sentence is otherwise required by law or the court 
        imposes a longer aggravated durational departure under 
        subdivision 2, a person who is convicted of a violent crime that 
        is a felony must be committed to the commissioner of corrections 
        for a mandatory sentence of at least the length of the 
        presumptive sentence under the sentencing guidelines if the 
        court determines on the record at the time of sentencing that 
        the person has two or more prior felony convictions for violent 
        crimes.  The court shall impose and execute the prison sentence 
        regardless of whether the guidelines presume an executed prison 
        sentence.  
           Any person convicted and sentenced as required by this 
        subdivision is not eligible for probation, parole, discharge, or 
        work release, until that person has served the full term of 
        imprisonment imposed by the court, notwithstanding sections 
        241.26, 242.19, 243.05, 244.04, 609.12, and 609.135.

        SIXTH FELONY.] Whenever a person is convicted of a felony, and 
        the judge is imposing an executed sentence based on a sentencing 
        guidelines presumptive imprisonment sentence, the judge may 
        impose an aggravated durational departure from the presumptive 
        sentence up to the statutory maximum sentence if the judge finds 
        and specifies on the record that the offender has five or more 
        prior felony convictions and that the present offense is a 
        felony that was committed as part of a pattern of criminal 
        conduct. 
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.347, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 
        609.342 to 609.346 609.3451, the testimony of a victim need not 
        be corroborated. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.347, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 
        609.342 to 609.346 609.3451, there is no need to show that the 
        victim resisted the accused.  
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.347, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  In a prosecution under sections 609.109, 609.342 
        to 609.346 609.3451, or 609.365, evidence of the victim's 
        previous sexual conduct shall not be admitted nor shall any 
        reference to such conduct be made in the presence of the jury, 
        except by court order under the procedure provided in 
        subdivision 4.  The evidence can be admitted only if the 
        probative value of the evidence is not substantially outweighed 
        by its inflammatory or prejudicial nature and only in the 
        circumstances set out in paragraphs (a) and (b).  For the 
        evidence to be admissible under paragraph (a), subsection (i), 
        the judge must find by a preponderance of the evidence that the 
        facts set out in the accused's offer of proof are true.  For the 
        evidence to be admissible under paragraph (a), subsection (ii) 
        or paragraph (b), the judge must find that the evidence is 
        sufficient to support a finding that the facts set out in the 
        accused's offer of proof are true, as provided under Rule 901 of 
        the Rules of Evidence. 
           (a) When consent of the victim is a defense in the case, 
        the following evidence is admissible: 
           (i) evidence of the victim's previous sexual conduct 
        tending to establish a common scheme or plan of similar sexual 
        conduct under circumstances similar to the case at issue.  In 
        order to find a common scheme or plan, the judge must find that 
        the victim made prior allegations of sexual assault which were 
        fabricated; and 
           (ii) evidence of the victim's previous sexual conduct with 
        the accused.  
           (b) When the prosecution's case includes evidence of semen, 
        pregnancy, or disease at the time of the incident or, in the 
        case of pregnancy, between the time of the incident and trial, 
        evidence of specific instances of the victim's previous sexual 
        conduct is admissible solely to show the source of the semen, 
        pregnancy, or disease. 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.347, 
        subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 5.  In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 
        609.342 to 609.346 609.3451, the court shall not instruct the 
        jury to the effect that: 
           (a) It may be inferred that a victim who has previously 
        consented to sexual intercourse with persons other than the 
        accused would be therefore more likely to consent to sexual 
        intercourse again; or 
           (b) The victim's previous or subsequent sexual conduct in 
        and of itself may be considered in determining the credibility 
        of the victim; or 
           (c) Criminal sexual conduct is a crime easily charged by a 
        victim but very difficult to disprove by an accused because of 
        the heinous nature of the crime; or 
           (d) The jury should scrutinize the testimony of the victim 
        any more closely than it should scrutinize the testimony of any 
        witness in any felony prosecution.  
           Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.347, 
        subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 6.  (a) In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 
        609.342 to 609.346 609.3451 involving a psychotherapist and 
        patient, evidence of the patient's personal or medical history 
        is not admissible except when:  
           (1) the accused requests a hearing at least three business 
        days prior to trial and makes an offer of proof of the relevancy 
        of the history; and 
           (2) the court finds that the history is relevant and that 
        the probative value of the history outweighs its prejudicial 
        value.  
           (b) The court shall allow the admission only of specific 
        information or examples of conduct of the victim that are 
        determined by the court to be relevant.  The court's order shall 
        detail the information or conduct that is admissible and no 
        other evidence of the history may be introduced. 
           (c) Violation of the terms of the order is grounds for 
        mistrial but does not prevent the retrial of the accused.  
           Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 609.348, is 
        amended to read: 
           609.348 [MEDICAL PURPOSES; EXCLUSION.] 
           Sections 609.109 and 609.342 to 609.346 609.3451 do not 
        apply to sexual penetration or sexual contact when done for a 
        bona fide medical purpose. 
           Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 631.045, is 
        amended to read: 
           631.045 [EXCLUDING SPECTATORS FROM THE COURTROOM.] 
           At the trial of a complaint or indictment for a violation 
        of sections 609.109, 609.341 to 609.346 609.3451, or 617.246, 
        subdivision 2, when a minor under 18 years of age is the person 
        upon, with, or against whom the crime is alleged to have been 
        committed, the judge may exclude the public from the courtroom 
        during the victim's testimony or during all or part of the 
        remainder of the trial upon a showing that closure is necessary 
        to protect a witness or ensure fairness in the trial.  The judge 
        shall give the prosecutor, defendant and members of the public 
        the opportunity to object to the closure before a closure order. 
        The judge shall specify the reasons for closure in an order 
        closing all or part of the trial.  Upon closure the judge shall 
        only admit persons who have a direct interest in the case.  
           Sec. 15.  [REVISOR'S INSTRUCTION.]

                  PRETRIAL AND CONDITIONAL RELEASE PROVISIONS 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 243.05, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] (a) 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) (1) 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) (2) 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) (3) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963, 
        who would be eligible for parole had the inmate been sentenced 
        after September 1, 1963, shall be eligible for parole; and 
           (d) (4) any new rule or policy or change of rule or policy 
        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 
        after the effective date of the new rule or policy or change.  
           (b) 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.  
           (c) The written order of the commissioner of corrections, 
        is sufficient authority for any peace officer, state 
        correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent 
        to retake and place in actual custody any person on parole or 
        supervised release, but.  In addition, when it appears necessary 
        in order to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state 
        parole and probation agent or state correctional investigator 
        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 and 
        bring the person to the commissioner for action.  
           (d) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is 
        sufficient authority for any peace officer, state correctional 
        investigator, 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.  Additionally, when it appears necessary in order to 
        prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and 
        probation agent or state correctional investigator 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.  
           (e) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is 
        sufficient authority for any peace officer, state correctional 
        investigator, or state parole and probation agent to detain any 
        person on pretrial release who absconds from pretrial release or 
        fails to abide by the conditions of pretrial release.  
           (f) 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. 
           (g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, 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, has the 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. 
           (h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state 
        parole and probation agents may require a person who is under 
        the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
        community work service for violating a condition of probation 
        imposed by the court.  Community work service may be imposed for 
        the purpose of protecting the public, to aid the offender's 
        rehabilitation, or both.  Agents may impose up to eight hours of 
        community work service for each violation and up to a total of 
        24 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the 
        date on which community work service is first imposed.  The 
        commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community 
        work services, for a total of 64 hours per offender per 12-month 
        period, beginning with the date on which community work service

        imposed, parole and probation agents are required to provide 
        written notice to the offender that states: 
           (1) the condition of probation that has been violated; 
           (2) the number of hours of community work service imposed 
        for the violation; and 
           (3) the total number of hours of community work service 
        imposed to date in the 12-month period. 
           An offender may challenge the imposition of community work 
        service by filing a petition in district court.  An offender 
        must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
        notice that community work service is being imposed.  If the 
        offender challenges the imposition of community work service, 
        the state bears the burden of showing, by a preponderance of the 
        evidence, that the imposition of community work service is 
        reasonable under the circumstances.  
           Community work service includes sentencing to service.  
           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
        244.19, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 3a.  [INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS.] Unless the district

        imposed by the court.  Community work service may be imposed for 
        the purpose of protecting the public, to aid the offender's 
        rehabilitation, or both.  County probation officers may impose 
        up to eight hours of community work service for each violation 
        and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month period, 
        beginning with the date on which community work service is first 
        imposed.  The court services director may authorize an 
        additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total of 
        64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning on the date 
        on which community work service is first imposed.  At the time 
        community work service is imposed, county probation agents are 
        required to provide written notice to the offender that states: 
           (1) the condition of probation that has been violated; 
           (2) the number of hours of community work service imposed 
        for the violation; and 
           (3) the total number of hours of community work service 
        imposed to date in the 12-month period. 
           An offender may challenge the imposition of community work 
        service by filing a petition in district court.  An offender 
        must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
        notice that community work service is being imposed.  If the 
        offender challenges the imposition of community work service, 
        the state bears the burden of showing, by a preponderance of the 
        evidence, that the imposition of community work service is 
        reasonable under the circumstances.  
           Community work service includes sentencing to service.

        convicted person or that person's immediate family, the court 
        may reduce the amount of the minimum fine to not less than $50.  
           (c) The court also may authorize payment of the fine,

        or who becomes employed while represented by a public 
        defender, shall to reimburse the state for the cost of the 
        public defender.  If reimbursement is required under this 
        subdivision, the court shall order the reimbursement when a 
        public defender is first appointed or as soon as possible after 
        the court determines that reimbursement is required.  The court 
        may accept partial reimbursement from the defendant if the 
        defendant's financial circumstances warrant a reduced 
        reimbursement schedule.  The court may consider the guidelines 
        in subdivision 6 in determining a defendant's reimbursement 
        schedule.  If a defendant does not agree to make payments, the 
        court may order the defendant's employer to withhold a 
        percentage of the defendant's income to be turned over to the 
        court.  The percentage to be withheld may be determined under 
        subdivision 6. 
           Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 611.20,

        public defender by $30 $40 per hour.  The public defender 
        assigned to the defendant's case shall provide to the court, 
        upon the court's request, a written statement containing the 
        total number of hours worked on the defendant's case up to the 
        time of the request.

        defender's office, district defender systems, and public defense 
        corporations.  The biennial report is due on or before the

        defender shall establish policies and procedures to administer 
        the district public defender system, consistent with standards 
        adopted by the state board of public defense. 
           Sec. 17.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 611.26, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [APPOINTMENT; TERMS.] The state board of public 
        defense shall appoint a chief district public defender for each 
        judicial district.  When appointing a chief district public 
        defender, the state board of public defense membership shall be 
        increased to include two residents of the district appointed by 
        the chief judge of the district to reflect the characteristics

        order of the state board of public defense.  Vacancies in the 
        office shall be filled by the appointing authority for the 
        unexpired term. 
           Sec. 18.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 611.26,

        defender, for the judicial district public defenders, and for 
        the public defense corporations shall be expended as determined 
        by the board.  In distributing funds to district public 
        defenders, the board shall consider the geographic distribution 
        of public defenders, the equity of compensation among the 
        judicial districts, public defender case loads, and the results 
        of the weighted case load study.

        The commissioner may expend federal 
        grant money in an amount up to

        of the buildings at the Brainerd 
        regional center for use as a 
        correctional facility. 
        The commissioner may open the Brainerd 
        facility on or after May 1, 1999 July 
        1, 1999, if the commissioner shows a 
        demonstrated need for the opening and

        If the commissioner deems it necessary 
        to reduce staff positions during the 
        biennium ending June 30, 1999, the 
        commissioner must reduce at least the 
        same percentage of management and 
        supervisory personnel as line and 
        support personnel in order to ensure 
        employee safety, inmate safety, and 
        facility security. 
        During the biennium ending June 30, 
        1999, if it is necessary to reduce 
        services or staffing within a 
        correctional facility, the commissioner 
        or the commissioner's designee shall 
        meet with affected exclusive 
        representatives.  The commissioner 
        shall make every reasonable effort to

        1999, the commissioner must consider 
        ways to reduce the per diem in adult 
        correctional facilities.  As part of 
        this consideration, the commissioner 
        must consider reduction in management 
        and supervisory personnel levels in 
        addition to line staff levels within 
        adult correctional institutions, 
        provided this objective can be 
        accomplished without compromising 
        safety and security. 
        The commissioner shall develop criteria 
        to designate geriatric and disabled 
        inmates eligible for transfer to 
        nursing facilities, including 
        state-operated facilities.  Upon 
        certification by the commissioner that 
        a nursing facility can meet necessary 
        security requirements, the commissioner 
        may contract with the facility for the 
        placement and housing of eligible 
        geriatric and disabled inmates.  
        Inmates placed in a nursing facility 
        must meet the criteria specified in 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 244.05, 
        subdivision 8, and are considered to be 
        on conditional medical release.

        All money received by the commissioner 
        of corrections pursuant to the domestic 
        abuse investigation fee under Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 609.2244, is 
        available for use by the commissioner 
        and is appropriated annually to the 
        commissioner of corrections for costs 
        related to conducting the 
        investigations. 
        $750,000 each year is for an increase 
        in community corrections act subsidy 
        funding.  The funding shall be

        contained in Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 401.10.  By January 15, 
        counties must submit a report to the 
        commissioner describing the purposes 
        for which the grants were used. 
        $60,000 the first year and $60,000 the

        statewide probation and supervised 
        release caseload and workload reduction 
        grant program.  Counties that deliver 
        correctional services through Minnesota 
        Statutes, chapter 260, and that qualify 
        for new probation officers under this 
        program shall receive full 
        reimbursement for the officers' 
        salaries and reimbursement for the 
        officers' benefits and support as set 
        forth in the probations standards task 
        force report, not to exceed $70,000 per

        services, and county probation officer 
        reimbursement according to the formula 
        contained in Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 401.10.  These appropriations 
        may not be used to supplant existing 
        state or county probation officer 
        positions or existing correctional 
        services or programs.  The money 
        appropriated under this provision is 
        intended to reduce state and county 
        probation officer caseload and workload 
        overcrowding and to increase 
        supervision of individuals sentenced to 
        probation at the county level.  This 
        increased supervision may be 
        accomplished through a variety of 
        methods, including but not limited to:  
        (1) innovative technology services, 
        such as automated probation reporting 
        systems and electronic monitoring; (2) 
        prevention and diversion programs; (3) 
        intergovernmental cooperation 
        agreements between local governments 
        and appropriate community resources; 
        and (4) traditional probation program 
        services. 
        $700,000 the first year and $700,000 
        the second year are for grants to 
        judicial districts for the 
        implementation of innovative projects 
        to improve the administration of 
        justice, including, but not limited to, 
        drug courts, night courts, community 
        courts, family courts, and projects 
        emphasizing early intervention and 
        coordination of justice system 
        resources in the resolution of cases.  
        Of this amount, up to $25,000 may be 
        used to develop a gun education 
        curriculum under article 2.  This is a 
        one-time appropriation. 
        During fiscal year 1998, up to $500,000 
        of unobligated funds available under 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 401.10, 
        subdivision 2, from fiscal year 1997 
        may be used for a court services 
        tracking system for the counties.  
        Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, 
        section 401.10, subdivision 2, these 
        funds are available for use in any 
        county using the court services 
        tracking system. 
        Before the commissioner uses money that 
        would otherwise cancel to the general 
        fund for the court services tracking 
        system, the proposal for the system 
        must be reviewed by the criminal and 
        juvenile justice information policy 
        group. 
        $52,500 of the amount appropriated to 
        the commissioner in Laws 1995, chapter 
        226, article 1, section 11, subdivision 
        3, for the criterion-related 
        cross-validation study is available 
        until January 1, 1998.  The study must 
        be completed by January 1, 1998. 
           Sec. 21.  [ACCOUNT BALANCE.] 
           As of June 30, 1999, any balance remaining in the account 
        containing money received through contracts authorized by 
        Minnesota Statutes, section 243.51, subdivisions 1 and 3, is 
        transferred to the inmate housing account in the special revenue 
        fund. 
           Sec. 22.  [REPORT REQUIRED.] 
           (a) By February 1, 1999, the commissioner of corrections 
        shall report to the house and senate committees having

        department of corrections intends to collect information on job 
        placement rates of inmates who have been discharged from 
        department of corrections facilities.  This report shall include 
        information on how the department of corrections can collect 
        summary data on job placement rates of former inmates who are on 
        supervised release, including the types of jobs for which 
        inmates have been hired and the wages earned by the inmates.  
        The report also shall include information on the predischarge or 
        postdischarge assistance that would assist inmates in obtaining 
        employment. 
           (b) "Summary data" has the meaning given in Minnesota 
        Statutes, section 13.02, subdivision 19. 
           Sec. 23.  [HEALTH CARE COST REDUCTIONS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [IMPLEMENTATION REPORT.] The commissioner 
        of corrections shall report to the chairs and ranking minority 
        members of the senate and house committees and divisions having 
        jurisdiction over criminal justice policy and funding by 
        December 15, 1998, on progress in implementing initiatives 
        related to: 
           (1) a review of the current health care delivery system 
        within the department; 
           (2) development of requests for proposals to consolidate 
        contracts, negotiate discounts, regionalize health care 
        delivery; reduce transportation costs; and implement other 
        health care cost containment initiatives; 
           (3) formalization of utilization review requirements; 
           (4) expansion of telemedicine; and 
           (5) increasing the cost-effective use of infirmary services.
        The report must also include the results of strategic planning 
        efforts, including but not limited to planning efforts to 
        improve fiscal management, improve record keeping and data 
        collection, expand infirmary services, and expand mental health 
        services. 
           Subd. 2.  [COST CONTAINMENT PLAN.] The commissioner shall 
        present to the chairs and ranking minority members of the senate 
        and house committees and divisions having jurisdiction over 
        criminal justice policy and funding, by January 1, 1999, a plan 
        to reduce inmate per diem health care costs over a four-year 
        period.  The plan must propose a strategy to reduce health care 
        costs closer to the national average.  In developing the plan, 
        the commissioner shall consider the use of prepaid, capitated 
        payments and other managed care techniques.  The plan may also 
        include health care initiatives currently being implemented by 
        the commissioner, or being evaluated by the commissioner as part 
        of the development of a strategic plan.  The cost containment 
        plan must include methods to improve data collection and 
        analysis, so as to allow regular reporting of health care 
        expenditures for specific services and procedures and effective 
        monitoring of health care quality. 
           Subd. 3.  [CONSULTATION WITH THE COMMISSIONERS OF HEALTH 
        AND HUMAN SERVICES.] When preparing the report described in 
        subdivision 1 and the plan described in subdivision 2, the 
        commissioner of corrections shall consult with the commissioner 
        of health and the commissioner of human services.

        "Child in need of protection or services" means a child who is 
        in need of protection or services because the child: 
           (1) is abandoned or without parent, guardian, or custodian; 
           (2)(i) has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse, (ii) 
        resides with or has resided with a victim of domestic child 
        abuse as defined in subdivision 24, (iii) resides with or would 
        reside with a perpetrator of domestic child abuse or child abuse 
        as defined in subdivision 28, or (iv) is a victim of emotional 
        maltreatment as defined in subdivision 5a; 
           (3) is without necessary food, clothing, shelter, 
        education, or other required care for the child's physical or 
        mental health or morals because the child's parent, guardian, or 
        custodian is unable or unwilling to provide that care; 
           (4) is without the special care made necessary by a 
        physical, mental, or emotional condition because the child's 
        parent, guardian, or custodian is unable or unwilling to provide 
        that care; 
           (5) is medically neglected, which includes, but is not 
        limited to, the withholding of medically indicated treatment 
        from a disabled infant with a life-threatening condition.  The 
        term "withholding of medically indicated treatment" means the 
        failure to respond to the infant's life-threatening conditions 
        by providing treatment, including appropriate nutrition, 
        hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or 
        physicians' reasonable medical judgment, will be most likely to 
        be effective in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, 
        except that the term does not include the failure to provide 
        treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or 
        medication to an infant when, in the treating physician's or 
        physicians' reasonable medical judgment: 
           (i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose; 
           (ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong 
        dying, not be effective in ameliorating or correcting all of the 
        infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be futile in 
        terms of the survival of the infant; or 
           (iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually 
        futile in terms of the survival of the infant and the treatment 
        itself under the circumstances would be inhumane; 
           (6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for 
        good cause desires to be relieved of the child's care and 
        custody; 
           (7) has been placed for adoption or care in violation of 
        law; 
           (8) is without proper parental care because of the 
        emotional, mental, or physical disability, or state of 
        immaturity of the child's parent, guardian, or other custodian; 
           (9) is one whose behavior, condition, or environment is 
        such as to be injurious or dangerous to the child or others.  An 
        injurious or dangerous environment may include, but is not 
        limited to, the exposure of a child to criminal activity in the 
        child's home; 
           (10) has committed a delinquent act or a juvenile petty 
        offense before becoming ten years old; 
           (11) is a runaway; 
           (12) is an habitual truant; 
           (13) has been found incompetent to proceed or has been 
        found not guilty by reason of mental illness or mental 
        deficiency in connection with a delinquency proceeding, a 
        certification under section 260.125, an extended jurisdiction 
        juvenile prosecution, or a proceeding involving a juvenile petty 
        offense; 
           (14) is one whose custodial parent's parental rights to 
        another child have been involuntarily terminated within the past 
        five years; or 
           (15) has been found by the court to have committed domestic 
        abuse perpetrated by a minor under Laws 1997, chapter 239,

        child; or 
           (16) has engaged in prostitution, as defined in section 
        609.321, subdivision 9. 
           Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.015, 
        subdivision 21, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 21.  [JUVENILE PETTY OFFENDER; JUVENILE PETTY 
        OFFENSE.] (a) "Juvenile petty offense" includes a juvenile 
        alcohol offense, a juvenile controlled substance offense, a 
        violation of section 609.685, or a violation of a local 
        ordinance, which by its terms prohibits conduct by a child under 
        the age of 18 years which would be lawful conduct if committed 
        by an adult.  
           (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), 
        "juvenile petty offense" also includes an offense that would be 
        a misdemeanor if committed by an adult.  
           (c) "Juvenile petty offense" does not include any of the 
        following: 
           (1) a misdemeanor-level violation of section 588.20, 
        609.224, 609.2242, 609.324, 609.563, 609.576, 609.66, 609.746, 
        609.79, or 617.23; 
           (2) a major traffic offense or an adult court traffic 
        offense, as described in section 260.193; 
           (3) a misdemeanor-level offense committed by a child whom 
        the juvenile court previously has found to have committed a 
        misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony offense; or 
           (4) a misdemeanor-level offense committed by a child whom 
        the juvenile court has found to have committed a 
        misdemeanor-level juvenile petty offense on two or more prior 
        occasions, unless the county attorney designates the child on 
        the petition as a juvenile petty offender notwithstanding this 
        prior record.  As used in this clause, "misdemeanor-level 
        juvenile petty offense" includes a misdemeanor-level offense 
        that would have been a juvenile petty offense if it had been 
        committed on or after July 1, 1995.  
           (d) A child who commits a juvenile petty offense is a 
        "juvenile petty offender." 
           Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.131, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 5.  [CONCURRENT JURISDICTION.] When a petition is 
        filed alleging that a child has engaged in prostitution as 
        defined in section 609.321, subdivision 9, the county attorney 
        shall determine whether concurrent jurisdiction is necessary to 
        provide appropriate intervention and, if so, proceed to file a 
        petition alleging the child to be both delinquent and in need of 
        protection or services. 
           Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.155, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GENERAL.] (a) Except for hearings arising 
        under section 260.261 260.315, hearings on any matter shall be 
        without a jury and may be conducted in an informal manner, 
        except that a child who is prosecuted as an extended 
        jurisdiction juvenile has the right to a jury trial on the issue 
        of guilt.  The rules of evidence promulgated pursuant to section 
        480.0591 and the law of evidence shall apply in adjudicatory 
        proceedings involving a child alleged to be delinquent, an 
        extended jurisdiction juvenile, or a juvenile petty offender, 
        and hearings conducted pursuant to section 260.125 except to the 
        extent that the rules themselves provide that they do not 
        apply.  In all adjudicatory proceedings involving a child 
        alleged to be in need of protection or services, the court shall 
        admit only evidence that would be admissible in a civil trial.  
        To be proved at trial, allegations of a petition alleging a 
        child to be in need of protection or services must be proved by 
        clear and convincing evidence. 
           (b) Except for proceedings involving a child alleged to be 
        in need of protection or services and petitions for the 
        termination of parental rights, hearings may be continued or 
        adjourned from time to time.  In proceedings involving a child 
        alleged to be in need of protection or services and petitions 
        for the termination of parental rights, hearings may not be 
        continued or adjourned for more than one week unless the court 
        makes specific findings that the continuance or adjournment is 
        in the best interests of the child.  If a hearing is held on a 
        petition involving physical or sexual abuse of a child who is 
        alleged to be in need of protection or services or neglected and 
        in foster care, the court shall file the decision with the court 
        administrator as soon as possible but no later than 15 days 
        after the matter is submitted to the court.  When a continuance 
        or adjournment is ordered in any proceeding, the court may make 
        any interim orders as it deems in the best interests of the 
        minor in accordance with the provisions of sections 260.011 to 
        260.301. 
           (c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the 
        court shall exclude the general public from hearings under this 
        chapter and shall admit only those persons who, in the 
        discretion of the court, have a direct interest in the case or 
        in the work of the court.  The court shall permit the victim of 
        a child's delinquent act to attend any related delinquency 
        proceeding, except that the court may exclude the victim: 
           (1) as a witness under the Rules of Criminal Procedure; and 
           (2) from portions of a certification hearing to discuss 
        psychological material or other evidence that would not be 
        accessible to the public. 
        The court shall open the hearings to the public in delinquency 
        or extended jurisdiction juvenile proceedings where the child is 
        alleged to have committed an offense or has been proven to have 
        committed an offense that would be a felony if committed by an 
        adult and the child was at least 16 years of age at the time of 
        the offense, except that the court may exclude the public from 
        portions of a certification hearing to discuss psychological 
        material or other evidence that would not be accessible to the 
        public in an adult proceeding. 
           (d) In all delinquency cases a person named in the charging 
        clause of the petition as a person directly damaged in person or 
        property shall be entitled, upon request, to be notified by the 
        court administrator in writing, at the named person's last known 
        address, of (1) the date of the certification or adjudicatory 
        hearings, and (2) the disposition of the case. 
           (e) Adoption hearings shall be conducted in accordance with 
        the provisions of laws relating to adoptions. 
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
        260.161, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [PUBLIC INSPECTION OF RECORDS.] (a) Except as 
        otherwise provided in this section, and except for legal records 
        arising from proceedings or portions of proceedings that are 
        public under section 260.155, subdivision 1, none of the records 
        of the juvenile court and none of the records relating to an 
        appeal from a nonpublic juvenile court proceeding, except the 
        written appellate opinion, shall be open to public inspection or 
        their contents disclosed except (a):  
           (1) by order of a court, (b); or 
           (2) as required by sections 245A.04, 611A.03, 611A.04, 
        611A.06, and 629.73, or (c)  the name of a juvenile who is the 
        subject of a delinquency petition shall be released to. 
           (b) The victim of the any alleged delinquent act may, upon 
        the victim's request; unless it reasonably appears that the 
        request is prompted by a desire on the part of the requester to 
        engage in unlawful activities., obtain the following 
        information, unless it reasonably appears that the request is 
        prompted by a desire on the part of the requester to engage in 
        unlawful activities: 
           (1) the name and age of the juvenile; 
           (2) the act for which the juvenile was petitioned and date 
        of the offense; and 
           (3) the disposition, including but not limited to, 
        dismissal of the petition, diversion, probation and conditions 
        of probation, detention, fines, or restitution.  
           (c) The records of juvenile probation officers and county 
        home schools are records of the court for the purposes of this 
        subdivision.  Court services data relating to delinquent acts 
        that are contained in records of the juvenile court may be 
        released as allowed under section 13.84, subdivision 5a.  This 
        subdivision applies to all proceedings under this chapter, 
        including appeals from orders of the juvenile court, except that 
        this subdivision does not apply to proceedings under section 
        260.255, 260.261, or 260.315 when the proceeding involves an 
        adult defendant.  The court shall maintain the confidentiality 
        of adoption files and records in accordance with the provisions 
        of laws relating to adoptions.  In juvenile court proceedings 
        any report or social history furnished to the court shall be 
        open to inspection by the attorneys of record and the guardian 
        ad litem a reasonable time before it is used in connection with 
        any proceeding before the court. 
           (d) When a judge of a juvenile court, or duly authorized 
        agent of the court, determines under a proceeding under this 
        chapter that a child has violated a state or local law, 
        ordinance, or regulation pertaining to the operation of a motor 
        vehicle on streets and highways, except parking violations, the 
        judge or agent shall immediately report the violation to the 
        commissioner of public safety.  The report must be made on a 
        form provided by the department of public safety and must 
        contain the information required under section 169.95. 
           (e) A county attorney may give a law enforcement agency 
        that referred a delinquency matter to the county attorney a 
        summary of the results of that referral, including the details 
        of any juvenile court disposition. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
        260.165, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  No child may be taken into immediate 
        custody except: 
           (a) With an order issued by the court in accordance with 
        the provisions of section 260.135, subdivision 5, or Laws 1997, 
        chapter 239, article 10, section 10, paragraph (a), clause (3), 
        or 12, paragraph (a), clause (3), or by a warrant issued in 
        accordance with the provisions of section 260.145; or 
           (b) In accordance with the laws relating to arrests; or 
           (c) By a peace officer 
           (1) when a child has run away from a parent, guardian, or 
        custodian, or when the peace officer reasonably believes the 
        child has run away from a parent, guardian, or custodian; or 
           (2) when a child is found in surroundings or conditions 
        which endanger the child's health or welfare or which such peace 
        officer reasonably believes will endanger the child's health or 
        welfare.  If an Indian child is a resident of a reservation or 
        is domiciled on a reservation but temporarily located off the 
        reservation, the taking of the child into custody under this 
        clause shall be consistent with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 
        1978, United States Code, title 25, section 1922; 
           (d) By a peace officer or probation or parole officer when 
        it is reasonably believed that the child has violated the terms 
        of probation, parole, or other field supervision; or 
           (e) By a peace officer or probation officer under section 
        260.132, subdivision 1 or 4. 
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.165, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 2a.  [PROTECTIVE PAT-DOWN SEARCH OF CHILD 
        AUTHORIZED.] (a) A peace officer who takes a child of any age or 
        gender into custody under the provisions of this section is 
        authorized to perform a protective pat-down search of the child 
        in order to protect the officer's safety.  
           (b) A peace officer also may perform a protective pat-down 
        search of a child in order to protect the officer's safety in 
        circumstances where the officer does not intend to take the 
        child into custody, if this section authorizes the officer to 
        take the child into custody.  
           (c) Evidence discovered in the course of a lawful search 
        under this section is admissible. 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.255, is 
        amended to read: 
           260.255 [CIVIL JURISDICTION OVER PERSONS CONTRIBUTING TO 
        DELINQUENCY, STATUS AS A JUVENILE PETTY OFFENDER, OR NEED FOR 
        PROTECTION OR SERVICES; COURT ORDERS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [JURISDICTION.] The juvenile court has 
        civil jurisdiction over persons contributing to the delinquency, 
        status as a juvenile petty offender, or need for protection or 
        services of a child under the provisions of subdivision 2 or 3 
        this section.  
           Subd. 1a.  [PETITION; ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE.] A request for 
        jurisdiction over a person described in subdivision 1 shall be 
        initiated by the filing of a verified petition by the county 
        attorney having jurisdiction over the place where the child is 
        found, resides, or where the alleged act of contributing 
        occurred.  A prior or pending petition alleging that the child 
        is delinquent, a juvenile petty offender, or in need of 
        protection or services is not a prerequisite to a petition under 
        this section.  The petition shall allege the factual basis for 
        the claim that the person is contributing to the child's 
        delinquency, status as a juvenile petty offender, or need for 
        protection or services.  If the court determines, upon review of 
        the verified petition, that probable cause exists to believe 
        that the person has contributed to the child's delinquency, 
        status as a juvenile petty offender, or need for protection or 
        services, the court shall issue an order to show cause why the 
        person should not be subject to the jurisdiction of the court.  
        The order to show cause and a copy of the verified petition 
        shall be served personally upon the person and shall set forth 
        the time and place of the hearing to be conducted under 
        subdivision 2.  
           Subd. 2.  [HEARING.] If in (a) The court shall conduct a 
        hearing on the petition in accordance with the procedures 
        contained in paragraph (b).  
           (b) Hearings under this subdivision shall be without a jury.
        The rules of evidence promulgated pursuant to section 480.0591 
        and the provisions under section 260.156 shall apply.  In all 
        proceedings under this section, the court shall admit only 
        evidence that would be admissible in a civil trial.  When the 
        respondent is an adult, hearings under this subdivision shall be 
        open to the public.  Hearings shall be conducted within five 
        days of personal service of the order to show cause and may be 
        continued for a reasonable period of time if a continuance is in 
        the best interest of the child or in the interests of justice. 
           (c) At the conclusion of the hearing of a case of a child 
        alleged to be delinquent or in need of protection or services it 
        appears, if the court finds by a fair preponderance of the 
        evidence that any person has violated the provisions of the 
        person has contributed to the child's delinquency, status as a 
        juvenile petty offender, or need for protection or services, as 
        defined in section 260.315, the court may make any of the 
        following orders: 
           (a) (1) restrain the person from any further act or 
        omission in violation of section 260.315; or 
           (b) (2) prohibit the person from associating or 
        communicating in any manner with the child; or 
           (c) Provide for the maintenance or care of the child, if 
        the person is responsible for such, and direct when, how, and 
        where money for such maintenance or care shall be paid.  
           (3) require the person to participate in evaluation or 
        services determined necessary by the court to correct the 
        conditions that contributed to the child's delinquency, status 
        as a juvenile petty offender, or need for protection or 
        services; 
           (4) require the person to provide supervision, treatment, 
        or other necessary care; 
           (5) require the person to pay restitution to a victim for 
        pecuniary damages arising from an act of the child relating to 
        the child's delinquency, status as a juvenile petty offender, or 
        need for protection or services; 
           (6) require the person to pay the cost of services provided 
        to the child or for the child's protection; or 
           (7) require the person to provide for the child's 
        maintenance or care if the person is responsible for the 
        maintenance or care, and direct when, how, and where money for 
        the maintenance or care shall be paid.  If the person is 
        receiving public assistance for the child's maintenance or care, 
        the court shall authorize the public agency responsible for 
        administering the public assistance funds to make payments 
        directly to vendors for the cost of food, shelter, medical care, 
        utilities, and other necessary expenses.  
           (d) An order issued under this section shall be for a fixed 
        period of time, not to exceed one year.  The order may be 
        renewed or modified prior to expiration upon notice and motion 
        when there has not been compliance with the court's order or the 
        order continues to be necessary to eliminate the contributing 
        behavior or to mitigate its effect on the child. 
           Subd. 3.  [CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.] Before making any order 
        under subdivision 2 the court shall issue an order to show 
        cause, either upon its own motion or upon a verified petition, 
        specifying the charges made against the person and fixing the 
        time and place of the hearing.  The order to show cause shall be 
        served personally and shall be heard in the same manner as 
        provided in other cases in the juvenile court.  The county 
        attorney may bring both a criminal proceeding under section 
        260.315 and a civil action under this section. 
           Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 260.315, is 
        amended to read: 
           260.315 [CRIMINAL JURISDICTION FOR CONTRIBUTING TO NEED FOR 
        PROTECTION OR SERVICES, STATUS AS A JUVENILE PETTY OFFENDER, OR 
        DELINQUENCY.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [CRIMES.] (a) Any person who by act, word, 
        or omission encourages, causes, or contributes to the need for 
        protection or services or delinquency of a child, or to a 
        child's status as a juvenile petty offender, is guilty of 
        a gross misdemeanor.  
           (b) This section does not apply to licensed social service 
        agencies and outreach workers who, while acting within the scope 
        of their professional duties, provide services to runaway 
        children. 
           Subd. 2.  [COMPLAINT; VENUE.] A complaint under this 
        section may be filed by the county attorney having jurisdiction 
        where the child is found, resides, or where the alleged act of 
        contributing occurred.  The complaint may be filed in either the 
        juvenile or criminal divisions of the district court.  A prior 
        or pending petition alleging that the child is delinquent, a 
        juvenile petty offender, or in need of protection or services is 
        not a prerequisite to a complaint or a conviction under this 
        section.  
           Subd. 3.  [AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE.] If the child is alleged to 
        be delinquent or a juvenile petty offender, or if the child's 
        conduct is the basis for the child's need for protection or 
        services, it is an affirmative defense to a prosecution under 
        subdivision 1 if the defendant proves, by a preponderance of the 
        evidence, that the defendant took reasonable steps to control 
        the child's conduct.  
           Sec. 13.  Laws 1997, chapter 239, article 1, section 12, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
        Subd. 3.  Juvenile Services
            17,070,000     17,790,000 
        $500,000 each year is to plan for and 
        establish a weekend camp program at 
        Camp Ripley designed for first- or 
        second-time male juvenile offenders and 
        youth at risk.  All youth shall be ages 
        11 to 14.  The commissioner shall 
        develop eligibility standards for the 
        program.  The camp shall be a highly 
        structured program and teach work 
        skills, such as responsibility, 
        organization, time management, and 
        follow-through.  The juvenile offenders 
        juveniles will each develop a community 
        service plan that will be implemented 
        upon return to the community.  The 
        program shall receive referrals from 
        youth service agencies, police, school 
        officials, parents, and the courts.  By 
        January 15, 1998, the commissioner 
        shall report to the chairs of the house 
        and senate criminal justice funding 
        divisions a proposed budget for this 
        camp program for the second year of the 
        fiscal biennium and shall include a 
        description of the proposed outcomes 
        for the program. 
        $100,000 the first year is to conduct 
        planning for and evaluation of 
        additional camp programs and aftercare 
        services for juvenile offenders, 
        including, but not limited to, the 
        Vision Quest program and a three-week 
        work camp. 
        $500,000 the first year is to renovate 
        two cottages at the Minnesota 
        correctional facility-Red Wing.  
        $1,021,000 the second year is to 
        transfer the sex offender program from 
        the Minnesota correctional 
        facility-Sauk Centre and operate it at 
        the Minnesota correctional facility-Red 
        Wing. 
        $333,000 the second year is for housing 
        and programming for female juvenile 
        offenders committed to the commissioner 
        of corrections. 
        $130,000 the first year and $130,000 
        the second year are to improve 
        aftercare services for juveniles 
        released from correctional facilities 
        by adding two professional and one 
        clerical positions. 
        The commissioner shall design the 
        juvenile support network to provide 
        aftercare services for these 
        offenders.  The network must coordinate 
        support services in the community for 
        returning juveniles.  Counties, 
        communities, and schools must develop 
        and implement the network.  The 
        commissioner shall require aftercare 
        programs to be incorporated into 
        Community Corrections Act plans. 
           Sec. 14.  [260.162] [REPORT ON JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 
        PETITIONS.] 
           The state court administrator shall annually prepare and 
        present to the chairs and ranking minority members of the house 
        judiciary committee and the senate crime prevention committee 
        aggregate data by judicial district on juvenile delinquency

           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 299F.04, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 3a.  [ARSON INVESTIGATIVE DATA SYSTEM.] (a) As used 
        in this section, "criminal justice agency" means state and local 
        prosecution authorities, state and local law enforcement 
        agencies, local fire departments, and the office of state fire 
        marshal. 
           (b) The state fire marshal shall administer and maintain a 
        computerized arson investigative data system for the purpose of 
        assisting criminal justice agencies in the investigation and 
        prosecution of suspected arson violations.  This data system is 
        separate from the reporting system maintained by the department 
        of public safety under section 299F.05, subdivision 2.  The 
        system consists of data on individuals who are 14 years old or 
        older who law enforcement agencies determine are or may be 
        engaged in arson activity.  Notwithstanding section 260.161, 
        subdivision 3, data in the system on adults and juveniles may be 
        maintained together.  Data in the system must be submitted and 
        maintained as provided in this subdivision. 
           (c) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d), a criminal 
        justice agency may submit the following data on suspected arson 
        violations to the arson investigative data system: 
           (1) the suspect's name, known aliases, if any, and other 
        identifying characteristics; 
           (2) the modus operandi used to commit the violation, 
        including means of ignition; 
           (3) any known motive for the violation; 
           (4) any other crimes committed as part of the same 
        behavioral incident; 
           (5) the address of the building, the building owner's 
        identity, and the building occupant's identity; and 
           (6) the name of the reporting agency and a contact person. 
        A criminal justice agency that reports data to the arson 
        investigative data system shall maintain records documenting the 
        data in its own records system for at least the time period 
        specified in paragraph (e). 
           (d) The state fire marshal shall maintain in the arson 
        investigative data system any of the data reported under 
        paragraph (c) that the fire marshal believes will assist in the 
        investigation and prosecution of arson cases.  In lieu of or in 
        connection with any of these data, the state fire marshal may 
        include in the data system a reference to the criminal justice 
        agency that originally reported the data, with a notation to 
        system users that the agency is the repository of more detailed 
        information on the particular suspected arson violation. 
           (e) Notwithstanding section 138.17, the state fire marshal 
        shall destroy data on juveniles entered into the system when 
        three years have elapsed since the data were entered into the 
        system, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph.  If the 
        fire marshal has information that, since entry of data into the 
        system, the juvenile has been convicted as an adult or has been 
        adjudicated or has a stayed adjudication as a juvenile for an 
        offense that would be a crime if committed by an adult, the data 
        must be maintained until three years have elapsed since the last 
        record of a conviction, adjudication, or stayed adjudication of 
        the individual.  Upon request of the criminal justice agency 
        that submitted data to the system, the state fire marshal shall 
        destroy the data regardless of whether three years have elapsed 
        since the data were entered into the system. 
           (f) Data in the arson investigative data system are 
        confidential data on individuals as defined in section 13.02, 
        subdivision 3, but are accessible to criminal justice agencies. 
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 299M.01, 
        subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 7.  [FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM.] "Fire protection 
        system" means a sprinkler, standpipe, hose system, or other 
        special hazard system for fire protection purposes only, that is 
        composed of an integrated system of underground and overhead 
        piping connected to a potable water source.  "Fire protection 
        system" does not include the water service piping to a city
