Minnesota, the privileges granted to the airman by federal 
certificate for a period, in the discretion of the court, not to 
exceed one year, and shall notify the commissioner of any action 
involving a violation under this section or section 4 by mailing 
a report to the commissioner showing the name and address of the 
violator, the offense charged, the time and place of violation, 
the plea, the finding of the court or jury, and the penalty 
imposed. 
    Sec. 4.  [360.0752] [AIRCRAFT OPERATORS UNDER THE INFLUENCE 
OF ALCOHOL OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] As used in this section and 
section 5, "operate" includes the acts of all crew members with 
responsibility to operate the aircraft. 
    Subd. 2.  [CRIME.] It is a crime for any person to operate 
or attempt to operate an aircraft on or over land or water 
within this state or over any boundary water of this state: 
    (a) when the person is under the influence of alcohol; 
    (b) when the person is under the influence of a controlled 
substance, as defined in section 152.01, subdivision 4; 
    (c) when the person is under the influence of a combination 
of any two or more of the elements named in clauses (a), (b), 
and (f); 
    (d) when the person's alcohol concentration is 0.04 or 
more; 
    (e) when the person's alcohol concentration as measured 
within two hours of the time of operation or attempted operation 
is 0.04 or more; 
    (f) when the person is knowingly under the influence of any 
chemical compound or combination of chemical compounds that is 
listed as a hazardous substance in rules adopted under section 
182.655 and that affects the nervous system, brain, or muscles 
of the person so as to substantially impair the person's ability 
to operate the aircraft; or 
    (g) within eight hours of having consumed any alcoholic 
beverage or used any controlled substance.  
    Subd. 3.  [ALLOWING OPERATION.] It is a crime for any 
person to knowingly permit any individual who is in violation of 
subdivision 2 to operate any aircraft owned by or in the custody 
or control of the person.  
    Subd. 4.  [ARREST.] A peace officer may lawfully arrest a 
person for violation of subdivision 2 without a warrant upon 
probable cause, without regard to whether the violation was 
committed in the officer's presence.  The express grant of 
arrest powers in this subdivision does not limit the arrest 
powers of peace officers pursuant to sections 626.65 to 626.70 
or section 629.40 in cases of arrests for violation of 
subdivision 2 or any other provision of law.  
    Subd. 5.  [EVIDENCE.] Upon the trial of any prosecution 
arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person 
arrested for operating or attempting to operate an aircraft in 
violation of subdivision 2, the court may admit evidence of the 
amount of alcohol or a controlled substance in the person's 
blood, breath, or urine as shown by an analysis of those items.  
    Evidence of the refusal to take a test is admissible into 
evidence in a prosecution under this section.  
    If proven by a preponderance of the evidence, it shall be 
an affirmative defense to a violation of subdivision 2, clause 
(e), that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of 
alcohol after the time of the violation and before the 
administration of the evidentiary test to cause the defendant's 
alcohol concentration to exceed 0.04; provided, that this 
evidence may not be admitted unless notice is given to the 
prosecution prior to the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the 
matter.  
    The foregoing provisions do not limit the introduction of 
any other competent evidence bearing upon the question whether 
or not the person violated this section, including tests 
obtained more than two hours after the alleged violation and 
results obtained from partial tests on an infrared 
breath-testing instrument.  A result from a partial test is the 
measurement obtained by analyzing one adequate breath sample, as 
defined in section 5, subdivision 4, paragraph (b).  
    Subd. 6.  [CRIMINAL PENALTIES.] (a) A person who violates 
subdivision 2, clause (g); or 3, is guilty of a misdemeanor.  
    (b) A person who violates subdivision 2, clauses (a) to 
(f), is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
    (c) The attorney in the jurisdiction in which the violation 
occurred who is responsible for prosecution of misdemeanor 
violations shall also be responsible for prosecution of gross 
misdemeanor violations of this section. 
    Subd. 7.  [PRELIMINARY SCREENING TEST.] When a peace 
officer has reason to believe that a person may be violating or 
has violated subdivision 2, the officer may require the person 
to provide a sample of the person's breath for a preliminary 
screening test using a device approved by the commissioner of 
public safety or the commissioner of transportation for this 
purpose.  The results of this preliminary screening test shall 
be used for the purpose of deciding whether to require the tests 
authorized in section 5, but shall not be used in any court 
action except to prove that a test was properly required of a 
person pursuant to section 5.  Following the screening test, 
additional tests may be required of the person pursuant to the 
provisions of section 5.  
    A person who refuses to furnish a sample of the person's 
breath is subject to the provisions of section 5 unless, in 
compliance with section 5, the person submits to a blood, 
breath, or urine test to determine the presence of alcohol or a 
controlled substance.  
    Sec. 5.  [360.0753] [TESTING PROCEDURES.] 
    Subdivision 1.  [PEACE OFFICER DEFINED.] For purposes of 
this section, the term "peace officer" means an employee of a 
political subdivision or state law enforcement agency who is 
licensed by the Minnesota board of peace officers standards and 
training, who is charged with the prevention and detection of 
crime and the enforcement of the general criminal laws of the 
state, and who has full power of arrest, and shall also include 
the Minnesota state patrol and metropolitan airports commission 
peace officers, but does not include employees of the department 
of natural resources.  
    Subd. 2.  [IMPLIED CONSENT; CONDITIONS; ELECTION AS TO TYPE 
OF TEST.] (a) Any person who operates or attempts to operate an 
aircraft in or over this state or over any boundary water of 
this state consents, subject to the provisions of this section 
and section 4, to a chemical test of that person's blood, 
breath, or urine for the purpose of determining the presence of 
alcohol or a controlled substance.  The test shall be 
administered at the direction of a peace officer.  The test may 
be required of a person when an officer has probable cause to 
believe the person was operating or attempting to operate an 
aircraft in violation of section 4 and one of the following 
conditions exists:  
    (1) the person has been lawfully placed under arrest for 
violation of section 4; 
    (2) the person has been involved in an aircraft accident or 
collision resulting in property damage, personal injury, or 
death; 
    (3) the person has refused to take the screening test 
provided for by section 4; 
    (4) the screening test was administered and recorded an 
alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more; or 
    (5) the officer had probable cause to believe that the 
person was operating or attempting to operate an aircraft with 
any amount of alcohol present in the person's body.  
    (b) At the time a test is requested, the person shall be 
informed:  
    (1) that Minnesota law requires the person to take a test 
to determine the presence of alcohol or to determine if the 
person is under the influence of alcohol or a controlled 
substance; 
    (2) that if testing is refused, the person will be 
disqualified from operating an aircraft for a minimum period of 
one year; 
    (3) that if a test is taken and the results indicate an 
alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more or that the person is 
under the influence of a controlled substance, the person will 
be subject to criminal penalties and the person may be 
prohibited from operating an aircraft in this state for up to 
one year; 
    (4) that after submitting to testing, the person has the 
right to consult with an attorney and to have additional tests 
made by someone of the person's own choosing; and 
    (5) that if the person refuses to take a test, the refusal 
will be offered into evidence against the person at trial.  
    (c) The peace officer who requires a test pursuant to this 
subdivision may direct whether the test shall be of blood, 
breath, or urine.  Action may be taken against a person who 
refuses to take a blood test only if an alternative test was 
offered, and action may be taken against a person who refuses to 
take a urine test only if an alternative test was offered.  
    Subd. 3.  [REQUIREMENT OF URINE OR BLOOD TEST.] 
Notwithstanding subdivision 2, if there is probable cause to 
believe there is impairment by a controlled substance that is 
not subject to testing by a breath test, a urine or blood test 
may be required even after a breath test has been administered.  
Action may be taken against a person who refuses to take a blood 
test under this subdivision only if a urine test was offered, 
and action may be taken against a person who refuses to take a 
urine test only if a blood test was offered.  
    Subd. 4.  [BREATH TEST USING AN INFRARED BREATH-TESTING 
INSTRUMENT.] (a) In the case of a breath test administered using 
an infrared breath-testing instrument, the test shall consist of 
analyses in the following sequence:  one adequate breath sample 
analysis, one calibration standard analysis, and a second, 
adequate breath sample analysis.  
    (b) In the case of a test administered using an infrared 
breath-testing instrument, a sample is adequate if the 
instrument analyzes the sample and does not indicate the sample 
is deficient.  
    (c) For purposes of this section, when a test is 
administered using an infrared breath-testing instrument, 
failure of a person to provide two separate, adequate breath 
samples in the proper sequence constitutes a refusal.  
    Subd. 5.  [CONSENT OF PERSON INCAPABLE OF REFUSAL NOT 
WITHDRAWN.] A person who is unconscious or who is otherwise in a 
condition rendering the person incapable of refusal is deemed 
not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subdivision 2 and 
the test may be given.  
    Subd. 6.  [MANNER OF MAKING TEST; ADDITIONAL TESTS.] Only a 
physician, medical technician, physician's trained mobile 
intensive care paramedic, registered nurse, medical 
technologist, or laboratory assistant acting at the request of a 
peace officer may withdraw blood for the purpose of determining 
the presence of alcohol or controlled substance.  This 
limitation does not apply to the taking of a breath or urine 
sample.  The person tested has the right to have someone of the 
person's own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in 
addition to any administered at the direction of a peace 
officer; provided, that the additional test sample on behalf of 
the person is obtained at the place where the person is in 
custody, after the test administered at the direction of a peace 
officer, and at no expense to the state.  The failure or 
inability to obtain an additional test or tests by a person 
shall not preclude the admission in evidence of the test taken 
at the direction of a peace officer unless the additional test 
was prevented or denied by the peace officer.  The physician, 
medical technician, physician's trained mobile intensive care 
paramedic, medical technologist, laboratory assistant, or 
registered nurse drawing blood at the request of a peace officer 
for the purpose of determining alcohol concentration shall in no 
manner be liable in any civil or criminal action except for 
negligence in drawing the blood.  The person administering a 
breath test shall be fully trained in the administration of 
breath tests pursuant to training given by the commissioner of 
public safety or the commissioner of transportation.  
    Subd. 7.  [REFUSAL TO PERMIT TEST; CEASE AND DESIST ORDER.] 
If a person under arrest refuses to permit chemical testing, 
none shall be given, but the commissioner of transportation, 
upon the receipt of a certificate of the peace officer that the 
officer had reasonable and probable grounds to believe the 
arrested person had been operating or attempting to operate an 
aircraft in violation of section 4 and that the person had 
refused to permit the test, shall issue a cease and desist order 
prohibiting the operation of an aircraft for a period of one 
year.  
    Subd. 8.  [NOTICE OF CEASE AND DESIST ORDER; REQUEST FOR 
HEARING.] No cease and desist order under subdivision 7 shall be 
made until the commissioner notifies the person by certified 
mail of intention to issue a cease and desist order and allows 
the person a 20-day period after the date of receiving the 
notice to request of the commissioner, in writing, a hearing as 
herein provided.  If no request is filed within the 20-day 
period, the commissioner may then issue a cease and desist order.
However, if a request for hearing is filed, no cease and desist 
order shall be made until final judicial determination resulting 
in an adverse decision to the person.  
    Subd. 9.  [HEARING.] The hearing shall be before a district 
court in the county where the arrest occurred, unless there is 
agreement that the hearing may be held in some other county.  
The hearing shall be recorded and proceed as in a criminal 
matter, without the right of trial by jury, and its scope shall 
cover the issues of whether the peace officer had reasonable and 
probable grounds to believe the person was operating or 
attempting to operate an aircraft in violation of section 4; 
whether the person was lawfully placed under arrest; whether the 
person refused to permit the test, and if the person refused 
whether the person had reasonable grounds for refusing to permit 
the test; and whether at the time of request for the test the 
peace officer informed the person that the right to fly might be 
denied if the person refused to permit the test and of the right 
to have additional tests made by someone of the person's own 
choosing.  The court shall order either that the denial be 
rescinded or sustained and refer the order to the commissioner 
of transportation for further action.  
    Subd. 10.  [NOTICE OF ACTION TO OTHER STATES.] When it has 
been finally determined that a nonresident's privilege to 
operate an aircraft in this state has been denied, the 
commissioner shall give information in writing of the action 
taken to the appropriate federal authorities and any state in 
which the nonresident operates an aircraft or has a license to 
operate an aircraft.  
    Sec. 6.  [REPEALER.] 
    Minnesota Statutes 1988, sections 360.075, subdivision 7; 
and 360.0751, are repealed.

    Subdivision 1.  [PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION.] When a 
defendant has been convicted of a misdemeanor or gross 
misdemeanor, the court may, and when the defendant has been 
convicted of a felony, the court shall, before sentence is 
imposed, cause a presentence investigation and written report to 
be made to the court concerning the defendant's individual 
characteristics, circumstances, needs, potentialities, criminal 
record and social history, the circumstances of the offense and 
the harm caused by it to others and to the community.  At the 
request of the prosecutor in a gross misdemeanor case, the court 
shall order that a presentence investigation and report be 
prepared.  When the crime is a felony violation of chapter 152 
involving the sale or distribution of a controlled substance, 
the report shall include a description of any adverse social or 
economic effects the offense has had on persons who reside in 
the neighborhood where the offense was committed.
