        $100,000 is for the remote electronic 
        alcohol monitoring pilot program.  The 
        supreme court shall seek additional 
        funding for the program from outside 
        sources, and shall scale the program to 
        the available funding resources.  This 
        appropriation shall not be added to the 
        budget base for the 1996-1997 
        biennium.\H* (The preceding paragraph\h

        release, supervised release, or 
        probation. 
        The state court administrator, in 
        cooperation with the conference of 
        chief judges and the commissioner of 
        corrections, shall establish a 
        three-year pilot program to evaluate 
        the effectiveness of using breath 
        analyzer units to monitor DWI offenders 
        who are ordered to abstain from alcohol 
        use as a condition of pretrial release, 
        probation, or supervised release.  The 
        pilot program shall include procedures 
        which ensure that violators of this 
        condition of release receive swift 
        consequences for the violation. 
        The state court administrator shall 
        select at least two judicial districts 
        to participate in the pilot program.  
        Offenders who are ordered to use a 
        breath analyzer unit shall also be 
        ordered to pay the per diem cost of the 
        monitoring unless the offender is 
        indigent.  The state court 
        administrator shall reimburse the 
        judicial districts for any costs they 
        incur in participating in the pilot 
        program.  
        After three years, the state court 
        administrator shall evaluate the 
        program's effectiveness and shall 
        report the results of this evaluation 
        to the conference of chief judges and 
        the legislature.

                            GENERAL CRIME PROVISIONS 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 84.9691, is 
        amended to read: 
           84.9691 [RULEMAKING.] 
           (a) The commissioner of natural resources may adopt 
        emergency and permanent rules restricting the introduction, 
        propagation, use, possession, and spread of ecologically harmful 
        exotic species in the state, as outlined in section 84.967.  The 
        emergency rulemaking authority granted in this paragraph expires 
        July 1, 1994.  
           (b) The commissioner shall adopt rules to identify bodies 
        of water with limited infestation of Eurasian water milfoil.  
        The areas that are infested shall be marked and prohibited for 
        use. 
           (c) A violation of a rule adopted under this section is a 
        misdemeanor. 
           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 144.125, is 
        amended to read: 
           144.125 [TESTS OF INFANTS FOR INBORN METABOLIC ERRORS.] 
           It is the duty of (1) the administrative officer or other 
        person in charge of each institution caring for infants 28 days 
        or less of age and (2) the person required in pursuance of the 
        provisions of section 144.215, to register the birth of a child, 
        to cause to have administered to every infant or child in its 
        care tests for hemoglobinopathy, phenylketonuria, and other 
        inborn errors of metabolism in accordance with rules prescribed 
        by the state commissioner of health.  In determining which tests 
        must be administered, the commissioner shall take into 
        consideration the adequacy of laboratory methods to detect the 
        inborn metabolic error, the ability to treat or prevent medical 
        conditions caused by the inborn metabolic error, and the 
        severity of the medical conditions caused by the inborn 
        metabolic error.  Testing and the recording and reporting of the 
        results of the tests shall be performed at the times and in the 
        manner prescribed by the commissioner of health.  This section 
        does not apply to an infant whose parents object on the grounds 
        that the tests and treatment conflict with their religious 
        tenets and practices.  The commissioner shall charge laboratory 
        service fees for conducting the tests of infants for inborn 
        metabolic errors so that the total of fees collected will 
        approximate the costs of conducting the tests.  Costs associated 
        with capital expenditures and the development of new procedures 
        may be prorated over a three-year period when calculating the 
        amount of the fees. 
           Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 169.89, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [PENALTY; JURY TRIAL.] A person charged with a

        not subject to imprisonment but shall be punished by a fine of 
        not more than $100 $200. 
           Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 171.18, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [OFFENSES.] The commissioner may suspend 
        the license of a driver without preliminary hearing upon a 
        showing by department records or other sufficient evidence that 
        the licensee: 
           (1) has committed an offense for which mandatory revocation 
        of license is required upon conviction; 
           (2) has been convicted by a court for violating a provision 
        of chapter 169 or an ordinance regulating traffic and department 
        records show that the violation contributed in causing an 
        accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another, 
        or serious property damage; 
           (3) is an habitually reckless or negligent driver of a 
        motor vehicle; 
           (4) is an habitual violator of the traffic laws; 
           (5) is incompetent to drive a motor vehicle as determined 
        in a judicial proceeding; 
           (6) has permitted an unlawful or fraudulent use of the 
        license; 
           (7) has committed an offense in another state that, if 
        committed in this state, would be grounds for suspension; 
           (8) has committed a violation of section 169.444, 
        subdivision 2, paragraph (a); 
           (9) has committed a violation of section 171.22, except 
        that the commissioner may not suspend a person's driver's 
        license based solely on the fact that the person possessed a 
        fictitious or fraudulently altered Minnesota identification 
        card; 
           (10) has failed to appear in court as provided in section 
        169.92, subdivision 4; or 
           (11) has failed to report a medical condition that, if 
        reported, would have resulted in cancellation of driving 
        privileges. 
           However, an action taken by the commissioner under clause 
        (2) or (5) must conform to the recommendation of the court when 
        made in connection with the prosecution of the licensee.

           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 383B.225, 
        subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 6.  [INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE.] (a) Upon notification 
        of the death of any person, as provided in subdivision 5, the 
        county medical examiner or a designee may proceed to the body, 
        take charge of it, and order, when necessary, that there be no 
        interference with the body or the scene of death.  Any person 
        violating the order of the examiner is guilty of a misdemeanor.  
        The examiner or the examiner's designee shall make inquiry 
        regarding the cause and manner of death and prepare written 
        findings together with the report of death and its 
        circumstances, which shall be filed in the office of the 
        examiner.  When it appears that death may have resulted from a 
        criminal act and that further investigation is advisable, a copy 
        of the report shall be transmitted to the county attorney.  The 
        examiner may take possession of all property of the deceased, 
        mark it for identification, and make an inventory.  The examiner 
        shall take possession of all articles useful in establishing the 
        cause of death, mark them for identification and retain them 
        securely until they are no longer needed for evidence or 
        investigation.  The examiner shall release any property or 
        articles needed for any criminal investigation to law 
        enforcement officers conducting the investigation.  When a 
        reasonable basis exists for not releasing property or articles 
        to law enforcement officers, the examiner shall consult with the 
        county attorney.  If the county attorney determines that a 
        reasonable basis exists for not releasing the property or 
        articles, the examiner may retain them.  The property or 
        articles shall be returned immediately upon completion of the 
        investigation.  When the property or articles are no longer 
        needed for the investigation or as evidence, the examiner shall 
        release the property or articles to the person or persons 
        entitled to them.  Notwithstanding any other law to the 
        contrary, when personal property of a decedent has come into the 
        possession of the examiner, and is not used for a criminal 
        investigation or as evidence, and has not been otherwise 
        released as provided in this subdivision, the name of the 
        decedent shall be filed with the probate court, together with a 
        copy of the inventory of the decedent's property.  At that time, 
        an examination of the records of the probate court shall be made 
        to determine whether a will has been admitted to probate or an 
        administration has been commenced.  Property of a nominal value, 
        including wearing apparel, may be released to the spouse or any 
        blood relative of the decedent or to the person accepting 
        financial responsibility for burial of the decedent.  If 
        property has not been released by the examiner and no will has 
        been admitted to probate or administration commenced within six 
        months after death, the examiner shall sell the property at a 
        public auction upon notice and in a manner as the probate court 
        may direct; except that the examiner shall cause to be destroyed 
        any firearm or other weapon that is not released to or claimed 
        by a decedent's spouse or blood relative.  If the name of the 
        decedent is not known, the examiner shall inventory the property 
        of the decedent and after six months may sell the property at a 
        public auction.  The examiner shall be allowed reasonable 
        expenses for the care and sale of the property and shall deposit 
        the net proceeds of the sale with the county administrator, or 
        the administrator's designee, in the name of the decedent, if 
        known.  If the decedent is not known, the examiner shall 
        establish a means of identifying the property of the decedent 
        with the unknown decedent and shall deposit the net proceeds of 
        the sale with the county administrator, or a designee, so, that, 
        if the unknown decedent's identity is established within six 
        years, the proceeds can be properly distributed.  In either 
        case, duplicate receipts shall be provided to the examiner, one 
        of which shall be filed with the court, the other of which shall 
        be retained in the office of the examiner.  If a representative 
        shall qualify within six years from the time of deposit, the 
        county administrator, or a designee, shall pay the amount of the 
        deposit to the representative upon order of the court.  If no 
        order is made within six years, the proceeds of the sale shall 
        become a part of the general revenue of the county. 
           (b) For the purposes of this section, health-related 
        records or data on a decedent, except health data defined in 
        section 13.38, whose death is being investigated under this 
        section, whether the records or data are recorded or unrecorded, 
        including but not limited to those concerning medical, surgical, 
        psychiatric, psychological, or any other consultation, 
        diagnosis, or treatment, including medical imaging, shall be 
        made promptly available to the medical examiner, upon the 
        medical examiner's written request, by a person having custody 
        of, possession of, access to, or knowledge of the records or 
        data.  The medical examiner shall pay the reasonable costs of 
        copies of records or data provided to the medical examiner under 
        this section.  Data collected or created pursuant to this 
        subdivision relating to any psychiatric, psychological, or 
        mental health consultation with, diagnosis of, or treatment of 
        the decedent whose death is being investigated shall remain 
        confidential or protected nonpublic data, except that the 
        medical examiner's report may contain a summary of such data. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 388.051, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [CHARGING AND PLEA NEGOTIATION POLICIES AND 
        PRACTICES; WRITTEN GUIDELINES REQUIRED.] (a) On or before 
        January 1, 1995, each county attorney shall adopt written 
        guidelines governing the county attorney's charging and plea 
        negotiation policies and practices.  The guidelines shall 
        address, but need not be limited to, the following matters: 
           (1) the circumstances under which plea negotiation 
        agreements are permissible; 
           (2) the factors that are considered in making charging 
        decisions and formulating plea agreements; and 
           (3) the extent to which input from other persons concerned 
        with a prosecution, such as victims and law enforcement 
        officers, is considered in formulating plea agreements. 
           (b) Plea negotiation policies and procedures adopted under 
        this subdivision are public data, as defined in section 13.02. 
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        388.23, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [AUTHORITY.] The county attorney, or any 
        deputy or assistant county attorney whom the county attorney 
        authorizes in writing, has the authority to subpoena and require 
        the production of any records of telephone companies, cellular 
        phone companies, paging companies, electric companies, gas 
        companies, water utilities, chemical suppliers, hotels and 
        motels, pawn shops, airlines, buses, taxis, and other entities 
        engaged in the business of transporting people, and freight 
        companies, warehousing companies, self-service storage 
        facilities, package delivery companies, and other entities 
        engaged in the businesses of transport, storage, or delivery, 
        and records of the existence of safe deposit box account numbers 
        and customer savings and checking account numbers maintained by 
        financial institutions and safe deposit companies, insurance 
        records relating to the monetary payment or settlement of 
        claims, and wage and employment records of an applicant or 
        recipient of public assistance who is the subject of a welfare 
        fraud investigation relating to eligibility information for 
        public assistance programs.  Subpoenas may only be issued for 
        records that are relevant to an ongoing legitimate law 
        enforcement investigation or welfare fraud investigation and 
        there is probable cause that a crime has been 
        committed.  Administrative subpoenas may only be issued in 
        welfare fraud cases if there is probable cause to believe a 
        crime has been committed.  This provision applies only to the 
        records of business entities and does not extend to private 
        individuals or their dwellings.  Subpoenas may only be served by 
        peace officers as defined by section 626.84, subdivision 1, 
        paragraph (c). 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        518B.01, subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 6.  [RELIEF BY THE COURT.] (a) Upon notice and 
        hearing, the court may provide relief as follows: 
           (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; 
           (4) (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; 
           (5) (6) provide upon request of the petitioner counseling 
        or other social services for the parties, if married, or if 
        there are minor children; 
           (6) (7) order the abusing party to participate in treatment 
        or counseling services; 
           (7) (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; 
           (8) (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; 
           (9) (10) order the abusing party to pay restitution to the 
        petitioner; 
           (10) (11) order the continuance of all currently available 
        insurance coverage without change in coverage or beneficiary 
        designation; and 
           (11) (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, 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. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        518B.01, subdivision 14, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 14.  [VIOLATION OF AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION.] (a) 
        Whenever an order for protection is granted pursuant to this 
        section, and the respondent or person to be restrained knows of 
        the order, violation of the order for protection is a 
        misdemeanor.  Upon conviction, the defendant must be sentenced 
        to a minimum of three days imprisonment and must be ordered to 
        participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
        by the court.  If the court stays imposition or execution of the 
        jail sentence and the defendant refuses or fails to comply with 
        the court's treatment order, the court must impose and execute 
        the stayed jail sentence.  A person is guilty of a gross 
        misdemeanor who violates this paragraph during the time period 
        between a previous conviction under this paragraph; sections 
        609.221 to 609.224; 609.713, subdivisions 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 conviction.  Upon conviction, the defendant must be 
        sentenced 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. 
           (b) 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 pursuant to this 
        section 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. 
           (c) A violation of an order for protection shall also 
        constitute contempt of court and be subject to the penalties 
        therefor.  
           (d) 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.  
           (e) 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, 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.  The court also shall refer the violation 
        of the order for protection to the appropriate prosecuting 
        authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (a). 
           (f) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 
        order for protection issued under subdivision 6 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. 
           (g) 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 (b). 
           Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.0331, is 
        amended to read: 
           609.0331 [INCREASED MAXIMUM PENALTIES FOR PETTY 
        MISDEMEANORS.] 
           Except as provided in this section, A law of this state 
        that provides, on or after August 1, 1987, for a maximum penalty 
        of $100 for a petty misdemeanor is considered to provide for a 
        maximum fine of $200.  However, a petty misdemeanor under 
        chapter 168 or 169 remains subject to a maximum fine of $100, 
        except that a violation of chapter 168 or 169 that was 
        originally charged as a misdemeanor and is being treated as a 
        petty misdemeanor under section 609.131 or the rules of criminal 
        procedure is subject to a maximum fine of $200. 
           Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.0332, is 
        amended to read: 
           609.0332 [INCREASED MAXIMUM PENALTY FOR PETTY MISDEMEANOR 
        ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [INCREASED FINE.] From August 1, 1987, if a 
        state law or municipal charter sets a limit of $100 or less on 
        the fines that a statutory or home rule charter city, town, 
        county, or other political subdivision may prescribe for an 
        ordinance violation that is defined as a petty misdemeanor, that 
        law or charter is considered to provide that the political 
        subdivision has the power to prescribe a maximum fine of $200 
        for the petty misdemeanor violation. 
           Subd. 2.  [EXCEPTION.] Notwithstanding subdivision 1, no 
        fine of more than $100 may be imposed for a petty misdemeanor 
        ordinance violation which conforms in substantial part to a 
        petty misdemeanor provision contained in section 152.027, 
        subdivision 4, or chapter 168 or 169. 
           Sec. 15.  [609.132] [CONTINUANCE FOR DISMISSAL.] 
           The decision to offer or agree to a continuance of a 
        criminal prosecution is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion 
        resting solely with the prosecuting attorney. 
           Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        609.1352, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [SENTENCING AUTHORITY.] (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 2 if 
        it reasonably appears to the court that the crime was motivated 
        by the offender's sexual impulses or was part of a predatory 
        pattern of behavior that had criminal sexual conduct as its 
        goal; 
           (2) the court finds that the offender is a danger to public 
        safety; and 
           (3) the court finds that the offender needs long-term 
        treatment or supervision beyond the presumptive term of 
        imprisonment and supervised release.  The finding must be based 
        on a professional assessment by an examiner experienced in 
        evaluating sex offenders that concludes that the offender is a 
        patterned sex offender.  The assessment must contain the facts 
        upon which the conclusion is based, with reference to the 
        offense history of the offender or the severity of the current 
        offense, the social history of the offender, and the results of 
        an examination of the offender's mental status 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. 
           Sec. 17.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        609.14, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GROUNDS.] (a) When it appears that the 
        defendant has violated any of the conditions of probation or 
        intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of 
        misconduct which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, 
        the court may without notice revoke the stay and direct that the 
        defendant be taken into immediate custody. 
           (b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the 
        conditions of probation during the term of the stay, but the 
        term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation 
        officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate 
        probation revocation proceedings under the rules of criminal 
        procedure at any time within six months after the expiration of 
        the stay.  The court also may initiate proceedings under these 
        circumstances on its own motion.  If proceedings are initiated 
        within this six-month period, the court may conduct a revocation 
        hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any 
        time during or after the six-month period. 
           (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.135 or 
        any law to the contrary, after proceedings to revoke the stay 
        have been initiated by a court order revoking the stay and 
        directing either that the defendant be taken into custody or 
        that a summons be issued in accordance with paragraph (a), the 
        proceedings to revoke the stay may be concluded and the summary 
        hearing provided by subdivision 2 may be conducted after the 
        expiration of the stay or after the six month period set forth 
        in paragraph (b) of this section.  The proceedings to revoke the 
        stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary 
        hearing is conducted after the term of the stay or after the six 
        month period.  The ability or inability to locate or apprehend 
        the defendant prior to the expiration of the stay or during or 
        after the six month period shall not preclude the court from 
        conducting the summary hearing unless the defendant demonstrates 
        that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to 
        gain an unfair advantage. 
           Sec. 18.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.152, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 2a.  [DANGEROUS REPEAT OFFENDERS; MANDATORY MINIMUM 
        SENTENCE.] 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.  For purposes of 
        this subdivision, "violent crime" does not include a violation 
        of section 152.023 or 152.024.  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 as provided by law, 
        notwithstanding sections 241.26, 242.19, 243.05, 244.04, 609.12, 
        and 609.135. 
           Sec. 19.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.185, is 
        amended to read: 
           609.185 [MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.] 
           Whoever does any of the following is guilty of murder in 
        the first degree and shall be sentenced to imprisonment for life:
           (1) causes the death of a human being with premeditation 
        and with intent to effect the death of the person or of another; 
           (2) causes the death of a human being while committing or 
        attempting to commit criminal sexual conduct in the first or 
        second degree with force or violence, either upon or affecting 
        the person or another; 
           (3) causes the death of a human being with intent to effect

        person responsible for the child's care, by a person who has a 
        significant relationship to the child, as defined in section 
        609.341, or by a person in a position of authority, as defined 
        in section 609.341, subdivision 10, to any act which constitutes 
        a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345.  
        Sexual abuse also includes any act which involves a minor which 
        constitutes a violation of sections 609.321 to 609.324 or 
        617.246.  Sexual abuse includes threatened sexual abuse.  
           (b) "Person responsible for the child's care" means (1) an 
        individual functioning within the family unit and having 
        responsibilities for the care of the child such as a parent, 
        guardian, or other person having similar care responsibilities, 
        or (2) an individual functioning outside the family unit and 
        having responsibilities for the care of the child such as a

        responsibilities including, but not limited to, day care,

        and seriously endanger the child's physical or mental health 
        when reasonably able to do so, or failure to take steps to 
        ensure that a child is educated in accordance with state law. 
        Nothing in this section shall be construed to mean that a child 
        is neglected solely because the child's parent, guardian, or 
        other person responsible for the child's care in good faith 
        selects and depends upon spiritual means or prayer for treatment 
        or care of disease or remedial care of the child in lieu of 
        medical care; except that there is a duty a parent, guardian, or 
        caretaker, or a person mandated to report pursuant to 
        subdivision 3, has a duty to report if a lack of medical care 
        may cause imminent and serious danger to the child's health.  
        This section does not impose upon persons, not otherwise legally 
        responsible for providing a child with necessary food, clothing, 
        shelter, education, or medical care, a duty to provide that 
        care. Neglect includes prenatal exposure to a controlled 
        substance, as defined in section 253B.02, subdivision 2, used by

        year of life that medically indicate prenatal exposure to a 
        controlled substance.  Neglect also means "medical neglect" as

        physical or mental injury that cannot reasonably be explained by 
        the child's history of injuries, or any aversive and deprivation 
        procedures that have not been authorized under section 245.825.  
           (e) "Report" means any report received by the local welfare 
        agency, police department, or county sheriff pursuant to this 
        section.

        the person or persons responsible for the child's care, the 
        alleged perpetrator, and any other person with knowledge of the 
        abuse or neglect for the purpose of gathering the facts, 
        assessing the risk to the child, and formulating a plan.  
           (j) "Practice of social services," for the purposes of 
        subdivision 3, includes but is not limited to employee 
        assistance counseling and the provision of guardian ad litem 
        services.  
           (k) "Mental injury" means an injury to the psychological 
        capacity or emotional stability of a child as evidenced by an 
        observable or substantial impairment in the child's ability to

        due regard to the child's culture.  
           (l) "Threatened injury" means a statement, overt act, 
        condition, or status that represents a substantial risk of

           Sec. 58.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 626.556, 
        subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 6.  [FAILURE TO REPORT.] A person mandated by this 
        section to report who knows or has reason to believe that a 
        child is neglected or physically or sexually abused, as defined 
        in subdivision 2, or has been neglected or physically or 
        sexually abused within the preceding three years, and fails to 
        report is guilty of a misdemeanor.  A parent, guardian, or 
        caretaker who knows or reasonably should know that the child's 
        health is in serious danger and who fails to report as required 
        by subdivision 2, paragraph (c), is guilty of a gross 
        misdemeanor if the child suffers substantial or great bodily 
        harm because of the lack of medical care.  If the child dies 
        because of the lack of medical care, the person is guilty of a 
        felony and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 
        two years or to payment of a fine of not more than $4,000, or 
        both.  The provision in section 609.378, subdivision 1, 
        paragraph (a), clause (1), providing that a parent, guardian, or 
        caretaker may, in good faith, select and depend on spiritual 
        means or prayer for treatment or care of a child, does not 
        exempt a parent, guardian, or caretaker from the duty to report 
        under this subdivision. 
           Sec. 59.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 626.556, 
        subdivision 10e, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 10e.  [DETERMINATIONS.] Upon the conclusion of every 
        assessment or investigation it conducts, the local welfare 
        agency shall make two determinations:  first, whether 
        maltreatment has occurred; and second, whether child protective 
        services are needed. 
           (a) For the purposes of this subdivision, "maltreatment" 
        means any of the following acts or omissions committed by a 
        person responsible for the child's care: 
           (1) physical abuse as defined in subdivision 2, paragraph 
        (d); 
           (2) neglect as defined in subdivision 2, paragraph (c); 
           (3) sexual abuse as defined in subdivision 2, paragraph 
        (a); or 
           (4) mental injury as defined in subdivision 2, paragraph 
        (k). 
           (b) For the purposes of this subdivision, a determination 
        that child protective services are needed means that the local 
        welfare agency has documented conditions during the assessment 
        or investigation sufficient to cause a child protection worker, 
        as defined in section 626.559, subdivision 1, to conclude that a 
        child is at significant risk of maltreatment if protective 
        intervention is not provided and that the individuals 
        responsible for the child's care have not taken or are not 
        likely to take actions to protect the child from maltreatment or 
        risk of maltreatment. 
           (c) This subdivision does not mean that maltreatment has 
        occurred solely because the child's parent, guardian, or other 
        person responsible for the child's care in good faith selects 
        and depends upon spiritual means or prayer for treatment or care 
        of disease or remedial care of the child, in lieu of medical 
        care.  However, if lack of medical care may result in imminent 
        and serious danger to the child's health, the local welfare 
        agency may ensure that necessary medical services are provided 
        to the child. 
           Sec. 60.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 626.557,

        a psychopathic personality under section 526.10.

        financial management to protect a vulnerable adult against abuse

        provide financial management or supervise financial management 
        for a vulnerable adult except as otherwise required by law. 
           (f) "Report" means any report received by a local welfare 
        agency, police department, county sheriff, or licensing agency

        shows that an act that meets the definition of abuse or neglect 
        occurred. 
           (i) "False" means a preponderance of the evidence shows 
        that an act that meets the definition of abuse or neglect did 
        not occur. 
           (j) "Inconclusive" means there is less than a preponderance 
        of evidence to show that abuse or neglect did or did not occur. 
           Sec. 61.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 626.557, 
        subdivision 10a, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 10a.  [NOTIFICATION OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE IN A 
        FACILITY.] (a) When a report is received that alleges neglect, 
        physical abuse, or sexual abuse of a vulnerable adult while in 
        the care of a facility required to be licensed under section 
        144A.02 or sections 245A.01 to 245A.16, the local welfare agency 
        investigating the report shall notify the guardian or 
        conservator of the person of a vulnerable adult under 
        guardianship or conservatorship of the person who is alleged to 
        have been abused or neglected.  The local welfare agency shall 
        notify the person, if any, designated to be notified in case of 
        an emergency by a vulnerable adult not under guardianship or 
        conservatorship of the person who is alleged to have been abused 
        or neglected, unless consent is denied by the vulnerable adult.  
        The notice shall contain the following information:  the name of 
        the facility; the fact that a report of alleged abuse or neglect 
        of a vulnerable adult in the facility has been received; the 
        nature of the alleged abuse or neglect; that the agency is 
        conducting an investigation; any protective or corrective 
        measures being taken pending the outcome of the investigation; 
        and that a written memorandum will be provided when the 
        investigation is completed.  
           (b) In a case of alleged neglect, physical abuse, or sexual 
        abuse of a vulnerable adult while in the care of a facility 
        required to be licensed under sections 245A.01 to 245A.16, the 
        local welfare agency may also provide the information in 
        paragraph (a) to the guardian or conservator of the person of 
        any other vulnerable adult in the facility who is under 
        guardianship or conservatorship of the person, to any other 
        vulnerable adult in the facility who is not under guardianship 
        or conservatorship of the person, and to the person, if any, 
        designated to be notified in case of an emergency by any other 
        vulnerable adult in the facility who is not under guardianship 
        or conservatorship of the person, unless consent is denied by 
        the vulnerable adult, if the investigative agency knows or has 
        reason to believe the alleged neglect, physical abuse, or sexual 
        abuse has occurred. 
           (c) When the investigation required under subdivision 10 is 
        completed, the local welfare agency shall provide a written 
        memorandum containing the following information to every 
        guardian or conservator of the person or other person notified 
        by the agency of the investigation under paragraph (a) or (b):  
        the name of the facility investigated; the nature of the alleged 
        neglect, physical abuse, or sexual abuse; the investigator's 
        name; a summary of the investigative findings; a statement of 
        whether the report was found to be substantiated, inconclusive, 
        or false as to abuse or neglect; and the protective or 
        corrective measures that are being or will be taken.  The 
        memorandum shall be written in a manner that protects the 
        identity of the reporter and the alleged victim and shall not 
        contain the name or, to the extent possible, reveal the identity 
        of the alleged perpetrator or of those interviewed during the 
        investigation.  
           (d) In a case of neglect, physical abuse, or sexual abuse 
        of a vulnerable adult while in the care of a facility required 
        to be licensed under sections 245A.01 to 245A.16, the local 
        welfare agency may also provide the written memorandum to the 
        guardian or conservator of the person of any other vulnerable 
        adult in the facility who is under guardianship or 
        conservatorship of the person, to any other vulnerable adult in 
        the facility who is not under guardianship or conservatorship of 
        the person, and to the person, if any, designated to be notified 
        in case of an emergency by any other vulnerable adult in the 
        facility who is not under guardianship or conservatorship of the 
        person, unless consent is denied by the vulnerable adult, if the 
        report is substantiated or if the investigation is inconclusive 
        and the report is a second or subsequent report of neglect, 
        physical abuse, or sexual abuse of a vulnerable adult while in 
        the care of the facility. 
           (e) In determining whether to exercise the discretionary 
        authority granted under paragraphs (b) and (d), the local 
        welfare agency shall consider the seriousness and extent of the 
        alleged neglect, physical abuse, or sexual abuse and the impact 
        of notification on the residents of the facility.  The facility 
        shall be notified whenever this discretion is exercised. 
           (f) Where federal law specifically prohibits the disclosure 
        of patient identifying information, the local welfare agency 
        shall not provide any notice under paragraph (a) or (b) or any 
        memorandum under paragraph (c) or (d) unless the vulnerable 
        adult has consented to disclosure in a manner which conforms to 
        federal requirements. 
           Sec. 62.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 626.557, 
        subdivision 12, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 12.  [RECORDS.] (a) Each licensing agency shall 
        maintain summary records of reports of alleged abuse or neglect 
        and alleged violations of the requirements of this section with 
        respect to facilities or persons licensed or credentialed by 
        that agency.  As part of these records, the agency shall prepare 
        an investigation memorandum.  Notwithstanding section 13.46, 
        subdivision 3, the investigation memorandum shall be accessible 
        to the public pursuant to section 13.03 and a copy shall be 
        provided to any public agency which referred the matter to the 
        licensing agency for investigation.  It shall contain a complete 
        review of the agency's investigation, including but not limited 
        to:  the name of any facility investigated; a statement of the 
        nature of the alleged abuse or neglect or other violation of the 
        requirements of this section; pertinent information obtained 
        from medical or other records reviewed; the investigator's name; 
        a summary of the investigation's findings; a statement of 
        whether the report was found to be substantiated, inconclusive, 
        or false as to abuse or neglect; and a statement of any action 
        taken by the agency.  The investigation memorandum shall be 
        written in a manner which protects the identity of the reporter 
        and of the vulnerable adult and may not contain the name or, to 
        the extent possible, the identity of the alleged perpetrator or 
        of those interviewed during the investigation.  During the 
        licensing agency's investigation, all data collected pursuant to 
        this section shall be classified as investigative data pursuant 
        to section 13.39.  After the licensing agency's investigation is 
        complete, the data on individuals collected and maintained shall 
        be private data on individuals.  All data collected pursuant to 
        this section shall be made available to prosecuting authorities 
        and law enforcement officials, local welfare agencies, and 
        licensing agencies investigating the alleged abuse or neglect.  
        The subject of the report may compel disclosure of the name of 
        the reporter only with the consent of the reporter or upon a 
        written finding by the court that the report was false and that 
        there is evidence that the report was made in bad faith.  This 
        subdivision does not alter disclosure responsibilities or 
        obligations under the rules of criminal procedure.  
           (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 138.163:  
           (1) all data maintained by licensing agencies, treatment 
        facilities, or other public agencies which relate to reports 
        which, upon investigation, are found to be false may be 
        destroyed two years after the finding was made; 
           (2) all data maintained by licensing agencies, treatment 
        facilities, or other public agencies which relate to reports 
        which, upon investigation, are found to be inconclusive may be 
        destroyed four years after the finding was made;

           Sec. 66.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINES MODIFICATION.] 
           The sentencing guidelines commission shall consider ranking

        the current sentencing guidelines and related statutes are 
        effective in furthering the goals of protecting the public

        policy.  Based on this evaluation, the commission shall develop 
        and recommend options for modifying the sentencing guidelines so

        rule, or administrative procedure changes to implement the 
        recommendations of the advisory committee established under Laws 
        1993, chapter 338, section 11.  The attorney general shall work

        representatives of labor organizations and professional 
        associations representing employees affected by the vulnerable

           Sec. 3.  [253B.091] [REPORTING JUDICIAL COMMITMENTS 
        INVOLVING PRIVATE TREATMENT PROGRAMS OR FACILITIES.] 
           Notwithstanding section 253B.23, subdivision 9, when a

        firearm, shall be committed to the commissioner of corrections 
        for not less than three years nor more than the maximum sentence

        at the time of the offense, had in possession or used, whether

           Subd. 8.  [MOTION BY PROSECUTOR.] (a) Except as otherwise

        prosecutor may file a motion to have the defendant sentenced 
        without regard to the mandatory minimum sentences established by 
        this section.  The motion shall be accompanied by a statement on 
        the record of the reasons for it.  When presented with the 
        motion and if it finds substantial mitigating factors exist, or 
        on its own motion, the court shall may sentence the defendant 
        without regard to the mandatory minimum sentences established by 
        this section if the court finds substantial and compelling 
        reasons to do so.  A sentence imposed under this subdivision is 
        a departure from the sentencing guidelines. 
           (b) The court may not, on its own motion or the 
        prosecutor's motion, sentence a defendant without regard to the 
        mandatory minimum sentences established by this section if the

        or other dangerous weapon.  
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        609.11, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 10.  [REPORT ON CRIMINAL CASES INVOLVING A

        collect and maintain the following information on criminal 
        complaints and prosecutions within the county attorney's office 
        in which the defendant is alleged to have committed an offense 
        listed in subdivision 9 while possessing or using a firearm: 
           (1) whether the case was charged or dismissed; 
           (2) whether the defendant was convicted of the offense or a 
        lesser offense; and 
           (3) whether the mandatory minimum sentence required under 
        this section was imposed and executed or was waived by the 
        prosecutor or court. 
           No later than July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 
        1995, the county attorney shall forward this information to the 
        sentencing guidelines commission upon forms prescribed by the 
        commission. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.165, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 1b.  [VIOLATION AND PENALTY.] (a) Any person who 
        ships, transports, possesses, or receives a firearm in violation 
        of subdivision 1a, commits a felony and may be sentenced to 
        imprisonment for not more than three years or to payment of a 
        fine of not more than $6,000, or both.  
           (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to bar a 
        conviction and sentencing for a violation of section 624.713, 
        subdivision 1, clause (b). 
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 609.224, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [DOMESTIC ASSAULTS; FIREARMS.] (a) When a person 
        is convicted of a violation of this section or section 609.221, 
        609.222, or 609.223, the court shall determine and make written 
        findings on the record as to whether: 
           (1) the assault was committed against a family or household 
        member, as defined in section 518B.01, subdivision 2; 
           (2) the defendant owns or possesses a firearm; and 
           (3) the firearm was used in any way during the commission 
        of the assault. 
           (b) If the court determines that the assault was of a 
        family or household member, and that the offender owns or 
        possesses a firearm and used it in any way during the commission 
        of the assault, it shall order the defendant to relinquish 
        possession of that the firearm and give it to the local law 
        enforcement agency.  Notwithstanding section 609.531, 
        subdivision 1, paragraph (f), clause (1), the court shall 
        determine whether the firearm shall be summarily forfeited under 
        section 609.5316, subdivision 3, or retained by the local law 
        enforcement agency for a period of three years.  If the owner 
        has not been convicted of any crime of violence as defined in 
        section 624.712, subdivision 5, or 609.224 against a family or 
        household member within that period, the law enforcement agency 
        shall return the firearm. 
           (c) When a person is convicted of assaulting a family or 
        household member and is determined by the court to have used a 
        firearm in any way during commission of the assault 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 
        firearm possession prohibition 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 prohibition.  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. 
           (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), when a 
        person is convicted of a violation of this section and the court 
        determines that the victim was a family or household member, the 
        court shall inform the defendant that the defendant is 
        prohibited from possessing a pistol for a period of 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. 
           (d) (e) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c), a 
        person is not entitled to possess a pistol if: 
           (1) the person has been convicted after August 1, 1992, of 
        assault in the fifth degree if the offense was committed within 
        three years of a previous conviction under sections 609.221 to 
        609.224; or 
           (2) the person has been convicted after August 1, 1992, of 
        assault in the fifth degree under section 609.224 and the 
        assault victim was a family or household member as defined in 
        section 518B.01, subdivision 2, 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 section 
        609.224.  Property rights may not be abated but access may be 
        restricted by the courts.  A person who possesses a pistol in 
        violation of this subdivision paragraph is guilty of a gross 
        misdemeanor. 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        609.531, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITIONS.] For the purpose of sections

        person, the judge before whom the arrested person is taken shall 
        review the facts surrounding the arrest and detention.  The 
        arrested person must be ordered released pending trial or 
        hearing on the person's personal recognizance or on an order to 
        appear or upon the execution of an unsecured bond in a specified 
        amount unless the judge determines that release (1) will be 
        inimical to public safety, (2) will create a threat of bodily 
        harm to the arrested person, the victim of the alleged crime, or 
        another, or (3) will not reasonably assure the appearance of the 
        arrested person at subsequent proceedings.  
           (b) If the judge determines release under paragraph (a) is 
        not advisable, the judge may impose any conditions of release 
        that will reasonably assure the appearance of the person for 
        subsequent proceedings, or will protect the victim of the 
        alleged crime, or may fix the amount of money bail without other 
        conditions upon which the arrested person may obtain release.  
           Subd. 2.  [SURRENDER OF FIREARMS.] The judge may order as a 
        condition of release that the person surrender to the local law 
        enforcement agency all firearms, destructive devices, or 
        dangerous weapons owned or possessed by the person, and may not 
        live in a residence where others possess firearms.  Any firearm, 
        destructive device, or dangerous weapon surrendered under this 
        subdivision shall be inventoried and retained, with due care to 
        preserve its quality and function, by the local law enforcement 
        agency, and must be returned to the person upon the person's 
        acquittal, when charges are dismissed, or if no charges are 
        filed.  If the person is convicted, the firearm must be returned 
        when the court orders the return or when the person is 
        discharged from probation and restored to civil rights.  If the 
        person is convicted of a designated offense as defined in 
        section 609.531, the firearm is subject to forfeiture as 
        provided under that section.  This condition may be imposed in 
        addition to any other condition authorized by rule 6.02 of the 
        rules of criminal procedure. 
           Subd. 3.  [WRITTEN ORDER.] If conditions of release are 
        imposed, the judge shall issue a written order for conditional 
        release.  The court administrator shall immediately distribute a 
        copy of the order for conditional release to the agency having 
        custody of the arrested person and shall provide the agency 
        having custody of the arrested person with any available 
        information on the location of the victim in a manner that 
        protects the victim's safety.  Either the court or its designee 
        or the agency having custody of the arrested person shall serve 
        upon the defendant a copy of the order.  Failure to serve the 
        arrested person with a copy of the order for conditional release 
        does not invalidate the conditions of release. 
           Subd. 4.  [NO CONTACT ORDER.] If the judge imposes as a 
        condition of release a requirement that the person have no 
        contact with the victim of the alleged crime, the judge may 
        also, on its own motion or that of the prosecutor or on request 
        of the victim, issue an ex parte temporary restraining order 
        under section 609.748, subdivision 4, or an ex parte temporary 
        order for protection under section 518B.01, subdivision 7.  
        Notwithstanding section 518B.01, subdivision 7, paragraph (b), 
        or 609.748, subdivision 4, paragraph (c), the temporary order is 
        effective until the defendant is convicted or acquitted, or the 
        charge is dismissed, provided that upon request the defendant is 
        entitled to a full hearing on the restraining order under 
        section 609.748, subdivision 5, or on the order for protection 
        under section 518B.01.  The hearing must be held within seven 
        days of the defendant's request. 
           Sec. 44.  [4A.06] [FIREARMS REPORT REQUIRED.] 
           The criminal justice statistical analysis center of the 
        office of strategic and long-range planning shall report to the 
        legislature no later than January 31 of each year on the number 
        of persons arrested, charged, convicted, and sentenced for 
        violations of each state law affecting the use or possession of 
        firearms.  The report must include complete statistics, 
        including the make, model, and serial number of each firearm 
        involved, where that information is available, on each crime 
        committed affecting the use or possession of firearms and a 
        breakdown by county of the crimes committed.  
           Sec. 45.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINES MODIFICATION.] 
           The sentencing guidelines commission shall consider 
        increasing the severity level ranking of the crime of theft of a 
        firearm.  If the commission modifies the ranking, the commission 
        shall apply the modification to crimes committed on or after 
        August 1, 1994. 
           Sec. 46.  [REPEALER.] 
           Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 624.7132, 
        subdivision 7, is repealed. 
           Sec. 47.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
           Sections 1, 4, 8, 44, and 45 are effective July 1, 1994.  
        Sections 2, 3, 5 to 7, 9 to 11, 17 to 43, and 46 are effective 
        August 1, 1994, and apply to crimes committed on or after that 
        date.  Sections 12 to 16 are effective August 1, 1994, and apply 
        to seizures occurring on or after that date.

        subdivision 10, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 10.  [PROTECTION OF IDENTITIES.] A law enforcement 
        agency or a law enforcement dispatching agency working under 
        direction of a law enforcement agency may withhold public access 
        to data on individuals to protect the identity of individuals in 
        the following circumstances: 
           (a) when access to the data would reveal the identity of an 
        undercover law enforcement officer; 
           (b) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        victim of criminal sexual conduct or of a violation of section 
        617.246, subdivision 2; 
           (c) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        paid or unpaid informant being used by the agency if the agency 
        reasonably determines that revealing the identity of the 
        informant would threaten the personal safety of the informant; 
           (d) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        victim of or witness to a crime if the victim or witness 
        specifically requests not to be identified publicly, and the 
        agency reasonably determines that revealing the identity of the 
        victim or witness would threaten the personal safety or property 
        of the individual; 
           (e) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        deceased person whose body was unlawfully removed from a 
        cemetery in which it was interred; or 
           (f) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        person who placed a call to a 911 system or the identity or 
        telephone number of a service subscriber whose phone is used to 
        place a call to the 911 system and:  (1) the agency determines 
        that revealing the identity may threaten the personal safety or 
        property of any person; or (2) the object of the call is to 
        receive help in a mental health emergency.  For the purposes of 
        this paragraph, a voice recording of a call placed to the 911 
        system is deemed to reveal the identity of the caller; or 
           (g) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
        juvenile witness and the agency reasonably determines that the 
        subject matter of the investigation justifies protecting the 
        identity of the witness.  
           Data concerning individuals whose identities are protected 
        by this subdivision are private data about those individuals.  
        Law enforcement agencies shall establish procedures to acquire 
        the data and make the decisions necessary to protect the 
        identity of individuals described in clause clauses (d) and (g).

        state accepts a prisoner an offender from another state under a 
        reciprocal agreement under the interstate compact authorized by 
        section 243.16 or under any authorized interstate agreement, the

        Minnesota following a term of imprisonment if any part of that 
        term was served in this state.

        transport the child to the child's school of enrollment and 
        deliver the child to the custody of a school superintendent or

        (fifth-degree controlled substance crime); 152.0261 (importing a 
        controlled substance); or 152.027 (other controlled substance 
        offenses), if committed by an adult; or 
           (3) that involved the possession or use of a dangerous 
        weapon as defined in section 609.02, subdivision 6. 
           When a disposition order is transmitted under this 
        paragraph, the probation officer shall notify the juvenile's 
        parent or legal guardian that the disposition order has been 
        shared with the juvenile's school. 
           (b) The disposition order must be accompanied by a notice 
        to the school that the school may obtain additional information 
        from the juvenile's probation officer with the consent of the 
        juvenile or the juvenile's parents, as applicable.  The 
        disposition order must be maintained in the student's permanent 
        education record but may not be released outside of the school 
        district or educational entity, other than to another school 
        district or educational entity to which the juvenile is 
        transferring.  Notwithstanding section 138.17, the disposition 
        order must be destroyed when the juvenile graduates from the 
        school or at the end of the academic year when the juvenile 
        reaches age 23, whichever date is earlier. 
           (c) The juvenile's probation officer shall maintain a 
        record of disposition orders released under this subdivision and 
        the basis for the release. 
           (d) The criminal and juvenile justice information policy 
        group, in consultation with representatives of probation 
        officers and educators, shall prepare standard forms for use by 
        juvenile probation officers in forwarding information to schools 
        under this subdivision and in maintaining a record of the 
        information that is released.  
           (e) As used in this subdivision, "school" means a public or 
        private elementary, middle, or secondary school. 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 260.161, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [PUBLIC INSPECTION LIMITATIONS.] Except as 
        otherwise provided in this subdivision and in subdivision 
        1 section, and except for legal records arising from 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) by 
        order of a court or (b) as required by sections 245A.04, 
        611A.03, 611A.04, 611A.06, and 629.73.  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. 
           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. 
           Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        260.161, subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [PEACE OFFICER RECORDS OF CHILDREN.] (a) Except 
        for records relating to an offense where proceedings are public 
        under section 260.155, subdivision 1, peace officers' records of 
        children who are or may be delinquent or who may be engaged in 
        criminal acts shall be kept separate from records of persons 18 
        years of age or older and are private data but shall be 
        disseminated:  (1) by order of the juvenile court, (2) as 
        required by section 126.036, (3) as authorized under section 
        13.82, subdivision 2, (4) to the child or the child's parent or 
        guardian unless disclosure of a record would interfere with an 
        ongoing investigation, or (5) as otherwise provided in paragraph 
        (d) this subdivision.  Except as provided in paragraph (c), no 
        photographs of a child taken into custody may be taken without 
        the consent of the juvenile court unless the child is alleged to 
        have violated section 169.121 or 169.129.  Peace officers' 
        records containing data about children who are victims of crimes 
        or witnesses to crimes must be administered consistent with 
        section 13.82, subdivisions 2, 3, 4, and 10.  Any person 
        violating any of the provisions of this subdivision shall be 
        guilty of a misdemeanor. 
           In the case of computerized records maintained about 
        juveniles by peace officers, the requirement of this subdivision 
        that records about juveniles must be kept separate from adult 
        records does not mean that a law enforcement agency must keep 
        its records concerning juveniles on a separate computer system.  
        Law enforcement agencies may keep juvenile records on the same 
        computer as adult records and may use a common index to access 
        both juvenile and adult records so long as the agency has in 
        place procedures that keep juvenile records in a separate place 
        in computer storage and that comply with the special data 
        retention and other requirements associated with protecting data 
        on juveniles. 
           (b) Nothing in this subdivision prohibits the exchange of 
        information by law enforcement agencies if the exchanged 
        information is pertinent and necessary to the requesting agency 
        in initiating, furthering, or completing a criminal 
        investigation. 
           (c) A photograph may be taken of a child taken into custody 
        pursuant to section 260.165, subdivision 1, clause (b), provided 
        that the photograph must be destroyed when the child reaches the 
        age of 19 years.  The commissioner of corrections may photograph 
        juveniles whose legal custody is transferred to the 
        commissioner.  Photographs of juveniles authorized by this 
        paragraph may be used only for institution management purposes, 
        case supervision by parole agents, and to assist law enforcement 
        agencies to apprehend juvenile offenders.  The commissioner 
        shall maintain photographs of juveniles in the same manner as 
        juvenile court records and names under this section. 
           (d) Traffic investigation reports are open to inspection by 
        a person who has sustained physical harm or economic loss as a 
        result of the traffic accident.  Identifying information on 
        juveniles who are parties to traffic accidents may be disclosed 
        as authorized under section 13.82, subdivision 4, and accident 
        reports required under section 169.09 may be released under 
        section 169.09, subdivision 13, unless the information would 
        identify a juvenile who was taken into custody or who is 
        suspected of committing an offense that would be a crime if 
        committed by an adult, or would associate a juvenile with the 
        offense, and the offense is not a minor traffic offense under 
        section 260.193. 
           (e) A law enforcement agency shall notify the principal or 
        chief administrative officer of a juvenile's school of an 
        incident occurring within the agency's jurisdiction if: 
           (1) the agency has probable cause to believe that the 
        juvenile has committed an offense that would be a crime if 
        committed as an adult, that the victim of the offense is a 
        student or staff member of the school, and that notice to the 
        school is reasonably necessary for the protection of the victim; 
        or 
           (2) the agency has probable cause to believe that the 
        juvenile has committed an offense described in subdivision 1b, 
        paragraph (a), clauses (1) to (3), that would be a crime if 
        committed by an adult. 
           A law enforcement agency is not required to notify the 
        school under this paragraph if the agency determines that notice 
        would jeopardize an ongoing investigation.  Notwithstanding 
        section 138.17, data from a notice received from a law 
        enforcement agency under this paragraph must be destroyed when 
        the juvenile graduates from the school or at the end of the 
        academic year when the juvenile reaches age 23, whichever date 
        is earlier.  For purposes of this paragraph, "school" means a 
        public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school. 
           (f) In any county in which the county attorney operates or 
        authorizes the operation of a juvenile prepetition or pretrial 
        diversion program, a law enforcement agency or county attorney's 
        office may provide the juvenile diversion program with data 
        concerning a juvenile who is a participant in or is being 
        considered for participation in the program.  
           (g) Upon request of a local social service agency, peace 
        officer records of children who are or may be delinquent or who 
        may be engaged in criminal acts may be disseminated to the 
        agency to promote the best interests of the subject of the data. 
           Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 260.161, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 5.  [FURTHER RELEASE OF RECORDS.] A person who 
        receives access to juvenile court or peace officer records of 
        children that are not accessible to the public may not release 
        or disclose the records to any other person except as authorized 
        by law.  This subdivision does not apply to the child who is the 
        subject of the records or the child's parent or guardian. 
           Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, 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 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; or 
           (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 4. 
           Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 299A.34, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GRANT PROGRAMS.] (a) The commissioner 
        shall develop grant programs to: 
           (1) assist law enforcement agencies in purchasing 
        equipment, provide undercover buy money, and pay other 
        nonpersonnel costs; and 
           (2) assist community and neighborhood organizations in 
        efforts to prevent or reduce criminal activities in their areas, 
        particularly activities involving youth and the use and sale of 
        drugs; and 
           (3) assist law enforcement agencies in efforts to target 
        and apprehend violent habitual criminals.  
           (b) The commissioner shall prescribe criteria for 
        eligibility and the award of grants and reporting requirements 
        for recipients. 
           Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 299A.38, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.] (a) Only vests that 
        either meet or exceed the requirements of standard 0101.01 
        0101.03 of the National Institute of Justice in effect on 
        December 30, 1986, or that meet or exceed the requirements of 
        that standard, except wet armor conditioning, are eligible for 
        reimbursement. 
           (b) Eligibility for reimbursement is limited to vests 
        bought after December 31, 1986, by or for peace officers (1) who 
        did not own a vest meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) 
        before the purchase, or (2) who owned a vest that was at least 
        six years old. 
           Sec. 17.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 299C.065, as 
        amended by Laws 1993, chapter 326, article 12, section 6, is 
        amended to read: 
           299C.065 [UNDERCOVER BUY FUND; WITNESS ASSISTANCE SERVICES 
        AND VICTIM PROTECTION.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [GRANTS.] The commissioner of public safety 
        shall make grants to local officials for the following purposes: 
           (1) the cooperative investigation of cross jurisdictional 
        criminal activity relating to the possession and sale of 
        controlled substances;

        state or federal law prohibiting the recruitment, 
        transportation, or use of juveniles for purposes of 
        prostitution; and 
           (5) witness assistance services in cases involving criminal 
        gang activity in violation of section 609.229, or domestic 
        assault, as defined in section 611A.0315; and 
           (6) for partial reimbursement of local costs associated 
        with unanticipated, intensive, long-term, multijurisdictional 
        criminal investigations that exhaust available local resources, 
        except that the commissioner may not reimburse the costs of a 
        local investigation involving a child who is reported to be 
        missing and endangered unless the law enforcement agency 
        complies with section 299C.53 and the agency's own investigative 
        policy. 
           Subd. 1a.  [WITNESS AND VICTIM PROTECTION FUND.] A witness 
        and victim protection fund is created under the administration 
        of the commissioner of public safety.  The commissioner may make 
        grants to local officials to provide for the relocation or other 
        protection of a victim, witness, or potential witness who is 
        involved in a criminal prosecution and who the commissioner has 
        reason to believe is or is likely to be the target of a violent 
        crime or a violation of section 609.498 or 609.713, in 
        connection with that prosecution.  The commissioner may award 
        grants for any of the following actions in connection with the 
        protection of a witness or victim under this subdivision: 
           (1) to provide suitable documents to enable the person to 
        establish a new identity or otherwise protect the person; 
           (2) to provide housing for the person; 
           (3) to provide for the transportation of household 
        furniture and other personal property to the person's new 
        residence; 
           (4) to provide the person with a payment to meet basic 
        living expenses for a time period the commissioner deems 
        necessary; 
           (5) to assist the person in obtaining employment; and 
           (6) to provide other services necessary to assist the 
        person in becoming self-sustaining. 
           Subd. 2.  [APPLICATION FOR GRANT.] A county sheriff or the 
        chief administrative officer of a municipal police department 
        may apply to the commissioner of public safety for a grant for 
        any of the purposes described in subdivision 1, or 1a, on forms 
        and pursuant to procedures developed by the superintendent.  For 
        grants under subdivision 1, the application shall describe the 
        type of intended criminal investigation, an estimate of the 
        amount of money required, and any other information the 
        superintendent deems necessary.  
           Subd. 3.  [INVESTIGATION REPORT.] A report shall be made to 
        the commissioner at the conclusion of an investigation pursuant 
        to this section for which a grant was made under subdivision 1 
        stating:  (1) the number of persons arrested, (2) the nature of 
        charges filed against them, (3) the nature and value of 
        controlled substances or contraband purchased or seized, (4) the 
        amount of money paid to informants during the investigation, and 
        (5) a separate accounting of the amount of money spent for 
        expenses, other than "buy money", of bureau and local law 
        enforcement personnel during the investigation.  The 
        commissioner shall prepare and submit to the legislature chairs 
        of the committees in the senate and house of representatives 
        with jurisdiction over criminal justice policy by January 1 of 
        each year a report of investigations pursuant to this section 
        receiving grants under subdivision 1.  
           Subd. 3a.  [ACCOUNTING REPORT.] The head of a law 
        enforcement agency that receives a grant under this section for 
        witness assistance services subdivision 1a shall file a report 
        with the commissioner at the conclusion of the case detailing 
        the specific purposes for which the money was spent.  The 
        commissioner shall prepare and submit to the legislature chairs 
        of the committees in the senate and house of representatives 
        with jurisdiction over criminal justice policy by January 1 of 
        each year a summary report of witness assistance services 
        provided under this section.  
           Subd. 4.  [DATA CLASSIFICATION.] An application to the 
        commissioner for money is a confidential record.  Information 
        within investigative files that identifies or could reasonably 
        be used to ascertain the identity of assisted witnesses, 
        sources, or undercover investigators is a confidential record.  
        A report at the conclusion of an investigation is a public 
        record, except that information in a report pertaining to the 
        identity or location of an assisted witness is private data.  
           Sec. 18.  [299C.066] [CRIME INFORMATION REWARD FUND.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [FUND.] A crime information reward fund is 
        created as an account in the state treasury.  Money appropriated 
        to the account is available to pay rewards as directed by the 
        commissioner of public safety, in consultation with the attorney 
        general, under this section.  The attorney general shall appoint 
        an advisory group, in consultation with the commissioner, of 
        five members to assist in implementation of this section. 
           Subd. 2.  [REWARDS.] The commissioner is authorized to pay 
        a reward to any person who, in response to a reward offer, 
        provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of a 
        criminal offender.  The commissioner shall establish criteria 
        for determining the amount of the reward and the duration of the 
        reward offer.  In no event shall a reward exceed $10,000 or a 
        reward offer remain open longer than ten days.  The commissioner 
        shall select the criminal investigations for which rewards are 
        offered based on recommendations made by the advisory group 
        members or by the law enforcement agency or agencies conducting 
        the criminal investigation. 
           Sec. 19.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        299C.10, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTY.] It is hereby made 
        the duty of the sheriffs of the respective counties and of the 
        police officers in cities of the first, second, and third 
        classes, under the direction of the chiefs of police in such 
        cities, to take or cause to be taken immediately finger and

        all persons arrested for a felony, gross misdemeanor, of all 
        juveniles committing felonies as distinguished from those 
        committed by adult offenders, of all persons reasonably believed 
        by the arresting officer to be fugitives from justice, of all 
        persons in whose possession, when arrested, are found concealed 
        firearms or other dangerous weapons, burglar tools or outfits, 
        high-power explosives, or articles, machines, or appliances 
        usable for an unlawful purpose and reasonably believed by the 
        arresting officer to be intended for such purposes, and within 
        24 hours thereafter to forward such fingerprint records and 
        other identification data on such forms and in such manner as 
        may be prescribed by the superintendent of the bureau of

        an ignition by fire, friction, concussion, chemical reaction, or 
        detonation of any part of the device may cause such sudden 
        generation of highly heated gases that the resultant gaseous 
        pressures are capable of producing destructive effects.  
        Explosive devices include, but are not limited to, bombs,

        include firearms ammunition.  
           (b) "Incendiary device" means a device so articulated that 
        an ignition by fire, friction, concussion, detonation, or other

        624.712, subdivision 5, and also includes a domestic assault 
        conviction when committed within the last three years or while 
        an order for protection is active against the person, whichever 
        period is longer.  
           Subd. 2.  [POSSESSION BY CERTAIN PERSONS PROHIBITED.] The

        state;

        substance or marijuana during the previous two years;

                                  CORRECTIONS 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        241.021, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [SUPERVISION OVER CORRECTIONAL 
        INSTITUTIONS.] (1) The commissioner of corrections shall inspect 
        and license all correctional facilities throughout the state, 
        whether public or private, established and operated for the 
        detention and confinement of persons detained or confined 
        therein according to law except to the extent that they are 
        inspected or licensed by other state regulating agencies.  The 
        commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules 
        establishing minimum standards for these facilities with respect 
        to their management, operation, physical condition, and the 
        security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons 
        detained or confined therein.  Commencing September 1, 1980, no 
        individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or 
        other private organization legally responsible for the operation 
        of a correctional facility may operate the facility unless 
        licensed by the commissioner of corrections.  The commissioner 
        shall annually review the correctional facilities described in 
        this subdivision at least once every biennium, except as 
        otherwise provided herein, to determine compliance with the 
        minimum standards established pursuant to this subdivision.  The 
        commissioner shall grant a license to any facility found to 
        conform to minimum standards or to any facility which, in the 
        commissioner's judgment, is making satisfactory progress toward 
        substantial conformity and the interests and well-being of the 
        persons detained or confined therein are protected.  The 
        commissioner may grant licensure up to two years.  The 
        commissioner shall have access to the buildings, grounds, books, 
        records, staff, and to persons detained or confined in these 
        facilities.  The commissioner may require the officers in charge 
        of these facilities to furnish all information and statistics 
        the commissioner deems necessary, at a time and place designated 
        by the commissioner.  The commissioner may require that any or 
        all such information be provided through the department of 
        corrections detention information system.  
           (2) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses 
        certain aspects of correctional facilities shall, insofar as is 
        possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are 
        substantially the same as those required by other state agencies 
        which regulate, inspect, or license the same aspects of similar 
        types of correctional facilities, although at different 
        correctional facilities. 
           (3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the 
        commissioner of corrections' authority to promulgate rules 
        establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive 
        funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16, or to require counties to 
        comply with operating standards the commissioner establishes as 
        a condition precedent for counties to receive that funding. 
           (4) When the commissioner finds that any facility described 
        in clause (1), except foster care facilities for delinquent 
        children and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does not 
        substantially conform to the minimum standards established by 
        the commissioner and is not making satisfactory progress toward 
        substantial conformance, the commissioner shall promptly notify 
        the chief executive officer and the governing board of the 
        facility of the deficiencies and order that they be remedied 
        within a reasonable period of time.  The commissioner may by 
        written order restrict the use of any facility which does not 
        substantially conform to minimum standards to prohibit the 
        detention of any person therein for more than 72 hours at one 
        time.  When, after due notice and hearing, the commissioner 
        finds that any facility described in this subdivision, except 
        county jails and lockups as provided in sections 641.26, 642.10, 
        and 642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not 
        making satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance 
        therewith, the commissioner may issue an order revoking the 
        license of that facility.  After revocation of its license, that 
        facility shall not be used until its license is renewed.  When 
        the commissioner is satisfied that satisfactory progress towards 
        substantial compliance with minimum standard is being made, the 
        commissioner may, at the request of the appropriate officials of 
        the affected facility supported by a written schedule for 
        compliance, grant an extension of time for a period not to 
        exceed one year. 
           (5) As used in this subdivision, "correctional facility" 
        means any facility, including a group home, having a residential 
        component, the primary purpose of which is to serve persons 
        placed therein by a court, court services department, parole 
        authority, or other correctional agency having dispositional 
        power over persons charged with, convicted, or adjudicated to be 
        guilty or delinquent. 
           Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 241.021, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [FOSTER CARE FACILITIES FOR DELINQUENT CHILDREN 
        AND YOUTH; LICENSES; SUPERVISION.] Notwithstanding any 
        provisions in sections 256.01, subdivision 2, clause (2), 
        245A.03, and 245A.04, to the contrary, the commissioner of 
        corrections shall pass annually on the adequacy and suitability 
        of review all county, municipal or other publicly established 
        and operated facilities for the detention, care and training of 
        delinquent children and youth at least once every biennium, if 
        such facility conforms to reasonable standards established by 
        the commissioner or in the commissioner's judgment is making 
        satisfactory progress toward substantial conformity therewith, 
        and the commissioner is satisfied that the interests and 
        well-being of children and youth received therein are protected, 
        the commissioner shall grant a license to the county, 
        municipality or agency thereof operating such facility.  This 
        license shall remain in force one year unless sooner 
        revoked.  The commissioner may grant licensure up to two years.  
        Each such facility shall cooperate with the commissioner to make 
        available all facts regarding its operation and services as the 
        commissioner requires to determine its conformance to standards 
        and its competence to give the services needed and which 
        purports to give.  Every such facility as herein described is 
        subject to visitation and supervision by the commissioner and 
        shall receive from the commissioner consultation as needed to 
        strengthen services to the children and youth received therein. 
           Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 241.26, 
        subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 7.  [PAYMENT OF BOARD AND ROOM.] The commissioner 
        shall determine the amount to be paid for board and room by such 
        work placement inmate.  When special circumstances warrant or 
        for just and reasonable cause, the commissioner may waive the 
        payment by the inmate of board and room charges and report such 
        waivers to the commissioner of finance. 
           Where a work placement inmate is housed in a jail or 
        workhouse, such board and room revenue shall be paid over to 
        such city or county official as provided for in subdivision 2, 
        provided however, that when payment of board and room has been 
        waived, the commissioner shall make such payments from funds 
        appropriated for that purpose. 
           Sec. 4.  [241.275] [PRODUCTIVE DAY INITIATIVE PROGRAMS; 
        CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES; HENNEPIN, RAMSEY, AND ST. LOUIS 
        COUNTIES.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [PROGRAM ESTABLISHMENT.] The counties of 
        Hennepin, Ramsey, and St. Louis shall each establish a 
        productive day initiative program in their correctional 
        facilities as described in this section.  The productive day 
        program shall be designed to motivate inmates in local 
        correctional facilities to develop basic life and work skills 
        through training and education, thereby creating opportunities 
        for inmates on release to achieve more successful integration 
        into the community.  
           Subd. 2.  [PROGRAM COMPONENTS.] The productive day 
        initiative programs shall include components described in 
        paragraphs (a) to (c).  
           (a) The initiative programs shall contain programs designed 
        to promote the inmate's self-esteem, self-discipline, and 
        economic self-sufficiency by providing structured training and 
        education with respect to basic life skills, including hygiene, 
        personal financial budgeting, literacy, and conflict management. 
           (b) The programs shall contain individualized educational, 
        vocational, and work programs designed to productively occupy an 
        inmate for at least eight hours a day.  
           (c) The program administrators shall develop correctional 
        industry programs, including marketing efforts to attract work 
        opportunities both inside correctional facilities and outside in 
        the community.  Program options may include expanding and 
        reorganizing on-site industry programs, locating off-site 
        industry work areas, and community service work programs.  To 
        develop innovative work programs, program administrators may 
        enlist members of the business and labor community to help 
        target possible productive enterprises for inmate work programs. 
           (d) Whenever inmates are assigned to work within the 
        correctional facility or with any state department or agency, 
        local unit of government, or other government subdivision, the 
        program administrator must certify to the appropriate bargaining 
        agent that work performed by inmates will not result in the 
        displacement of current employed workers or workers on seasonal 
        layoff or layoff from a substantially equivalent position, 
        including partial displacement such as reduction in hours of 
        work other than overtime work, wages, or other employment 
        benefits. 
           Subd. 3.  [ELIGIBILITY.] The administrators of each 
        productive day program shall develop criteria for inmate 
        eligibility for the program.  
           Subd. 4.  [EVALUATION.] The administrators of each of the 
        productive day initiative programs shall develop program 
        evaluation tools to monitor the success of the programs.  
           Subd. 5.  [REPORT.] Hennepin, Ramsey, and St. Louis 
        counties shall each report results of their evaluations to the 
        chairs of the house judiciary finance division and the senate 
        crime prevention finance division by July 1, 1996.  
           Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        242.51, is amended to read: 
           242.51 [THE MINNESOTA CORRECTIONAL FACILITY-SAUK CENTRE.] 
           There is established the Minnesota correctional 
        facility-Sauk Centre at Sauk Centre, Minnesota, in which may be 
        placed persons committed to the commissioner of corrections by 
        the courts of this state who, in the opinion of the 
        commissioner, may benefit from the programs available thereat.  
        The general control and management of the facility shall be 
        under the commissioner of corrections. 
           The commissioner shall charge counties or other appropriate 
        jurisdictions for the actual per diem cost of confinement of 
        juveniles at the Minnesota correctional facility-Sauk Centre.  
           The commissioner shall annually determine costs making 
        necessary adjustments to reflect the actual costs of 
        confinement.  All money received under this section must be 
        deposited to the general fund. 
           Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.05, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] The commissioner of 
        corrections may parole any person sentenced to confinement in 
        any state correctional facility for adults under the control of

           (a) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder 
        before May 1, 1980, other than murder committed in violation of 
        clause (1) of section 609.185 who has not been previously 
        convicted of a felony shall be paroled without having served 20 
        years, less the diminution that would have been allowed for good 
        conduct had the sentence been for 20 years; 
           (b) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder 
        before May 1, 1980, who has been previously convicted of a 
        felony or though not previously convicted of a felony is serving 
        a life sentence for murder in the first degree committed in 
        violation of clause (1) of section 609.185 shall be paroled 
        without having served 25 years, less the diminution which would 
        have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 25 
        years; 
           (c) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963, who 
        would be eligible for parole had the inmate been sentenced after 
        September 1, 1963, shall be eligible for parole; and 
           (d) 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.  
        Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the 
        legal custody and under the control of the commissioner, subject 
        at any time to be returned to a facility of the department of 
        corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment 
        of convicted persons and the parole rescinded by the 
        commissioner.  The written order of the commissioner of 
        corrections, is sufficient authority for any peace officer or 
        state parole and probation agent to retake and place in actual 
        custody any person on parole or supervised release, but any 
        state parole and probation agent may, without order of warrant, 
        when it appears necessary in order to prevent escape or enforce 
        discipline, take and detain a parolee or person on supervised 
        release or work release to the commissioner for action.  The 
        written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient 
        authority for any peace officer or state parole and probation 
        agent to retake and place in actual custody any person on 
        probation under the supervision of the commissioner pursuant to 
        section 609.135, but any state parole and probation agent may, 
        without an order, when it appears necessary in order to prevent 
        escape or enforce discipline, retake and detain a probationer 
        and bring the probationer before the court for further 
        proceedings under section 609.14.  Persons conditionally 
        released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
        commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be 
        placed within or outside the boundaries of the state at the 
        discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, and 
        the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced 
        according to their conduct. 
           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 authority to require the attendance of the chief 
        executive officer of any state adult correctional facility and 
        the production of the records of these facilities, and to compel 
        the attendance of witnesses.  The commissioner is authorized to 
        administer oaths to witnesses for these purposes. 
           Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.05, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 1a.  [DETENTION OF FELONS WHO FLEE PENDING 
        SENTENCING.] The commissioner of corrections shall assist law 
        enforcement agencies in locating and taking into custody any 
        person who has been convicted of a felony for which a prison 
        sentence is presumed under the sentencing guidelines and 
        applicable statutes, and who absconds pending sentencing in 
        violation of the conditions of release imposed by the court 
        under rule 27.01 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure.  The 
        written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient 
        authority for any state parole and probation agent to take the 
        person into custody without a warrant and to take the person 
        before the court without further delay. 
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.05, is 
        amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
           Subd. 1b.  [VICTIM'S RIGHTS.] (a) This subdivision applies 
        to parole decisions relating to inmates convicted of first 
        degree murder who are described in subdivision 1, clauses (a) 
        and (b).  As used in this subdivision, "victim" means the murder 
        victim's surviving spouse or next of kin. 
           (b) The commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to 
        notify the victim, in advance, of the time and place of the 
        inmate's parole review hearing.  The victim has a right to 
        submit an oral or written statement at the review hearing.  The 
        statement may summarize the harm suffered by the victim as a 
        result of the crime and give the victim's recommendation on 
        whether the inmate should be paroled at that time.  The 
        commissioner must consider the victim's statement when making 
        the parole decision. 
           Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.18, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GOOD TIME REDUCTION OF SENTENCE.] Every 
        inmate sentenced before May 1, 1980, for any term other than 
        life, confined in a state adult correctional facility or on 
        parole therefrom, may diminish the maximum term of sentence one 
        day for each two days during which the inmate has not violated 
        any facility rule or discipline. 
           The commissioner of corrections, in view of the aggravated 
        nature and frequency of offenses, may take away any or all of 
        the good time previously gained, and, in consideration of 
        mitigating circumstances or ignorance on the part of the inmate, 
        may afterwards restore the inmate, in whole or in part, to the 
        standing the inmate possessed before such good time was taken 
        away. 
           Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        243.18, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  [SANCTION FOR FAILURE TO WORK REQUIRED; GOOD 
        TIME.] This subdivision applies only to inmates whose crimes 
        were committed before August 1, 1993.  All inmates are required 
        to work.  An inmate for whom a who fails to perform an available 
        work assignment is available may shall be sanctioned either by 
        not earn earning good time under subdivision 1 or by serving a 
        disciplinary confinement period, as appropriate, for any day on 
        which the inmate does not perform the work assignment.  The 
        commissioner may excuse an inmate from work only for illness, 
        physical disability, or to participate in an education or 
        treatment program. 
           Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 243.23, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  The commissioner may promulgate rules requiring 
        the inmates of adult correctional facilities under the 
        commissioner's control to pay all or a part of the cost of their 
        board, room, clothing, medical, dental and other correctional 
        services.  These costs are payable from any earnings of the 
        inmate, including earnings from private industry established at 
        state correctional facilities pursuant to section 243.88.  All 
        sums of money received pursuant to the payments made for 
        correctional services as authorized in this subdivision are 
        available for use by the commissioner during the current and 
        subsequent fiscal year, and are appropriated to the commissioner 
        of corrections for the purposes of the fund from which the 
        earnings were paid.

        under section 243.23 shall be and remain under the control of 
        the commissioner of corrections and shall be for the sole 
        benefit of the inmate, unless by special order of the 
        commissioner of corrections it shall be used as designated in 
        section 243.23, subdivision subdivisions 2 and 3, or for 
        rendering assistance to the inmate's family or dependent 
        relatives, under such rules as to time, manner, and amount of 
        disbursements as the commissioner of corrections may prescribe.  
        Unless ordered disbursed as hereinbefore prescribed or for an 
        urgency determined in each case by the chief executive officer 
        of the facility, a portion of such earnings in an amount to be 
        determined by the commissioner shall be set aside and kept by 
        the facility in the public welfare fund of the state for the 
        benefit of the inmate and for the purpose of assisting the 
        inmate when leaving the facility and if released on parole said 
        sum to be disbursed to the inmate in such amounts and at such 
        times as the commissioner of corrections may authorize and on 
        final discharge, if any portion remains undisbursed, it shall be 
        transmitted to the inmate. 
           Sec. 13.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        244.05, subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 5.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE, LIFE SENTENCE.] (a) The 
        commissioner of corrections may, under rules promulgated by the 
        commissioner, give supervised release to an inmate serving a 
        mandatory life sentence under section 609.185, clause (1), (3), 
        (5), or (6); 609.346, subdivision 2a; or 609.385 after the 
        inmate has served the minimum term of imprisonment specified in 
        subdivision 4. 
           (b) The commissioner shall require the preparation of a 
        community investigation report and shall consider the findings 
        of the report when making a supervised release decision under 
        this subdivision.  The report shall reflect the sentiment of the 
        various elements of the community toward the inmate, both at the 
        time of the offense and at the present time.  The report shall 
        include the views of the sentencing judge, the prosecutor, any 
        law enforcement personnel who may have been involved in the 
        case, and any successors to these individuals who may have 
        information relevant to the supervised release decision.  The 
        report shall also include the views of the victim and the 
        victim's family unless the victim or the victim's family chooses 
        not to participate. 
           (c) The commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to 
        notify the victim, in advance, of the time and place of the 
        inmate's supervised release review hearing.  The victim has a 
        right to submit an oral or written statement at the review 
        hearing.  The statement may summarize the harm suffered by the 
        victim as a result of the crime and give the victim's 
        recommendation on whether the inmate should be given supervised 
        release at this time.  The commissioner must consider the

        spouse or next of kin.

           Subd. 11.  [MODIFICATION.] The commission shall meet as 
        necessary for the purpose of modifying and improving the 
        guidelines.  Any modification which amends the sentencing 
        guidelines grid, including severity levels and criminal history 
        scores, or which would result in the reduction of any sentence 
        or in the early release of any inmate, with the exception of a 
        modification mandated or authorized by the legislature or 
        relating to a crime created or amended by the legislature in the 
        preceding session, shall be submitted to the legislature by 
        January 1 of any year in which the commission wishes to make the 
        change and shall be effective on August 1 of that year, unless 
        the legislature by law provides otherwise.  All other 
        modifications shall take effect according to the procedural 
        rules of the commission.  On or before January 1 of each year, 
        the commission shall submit a written report to the judiciary 
        committees of the senate and the house of representatives with 
        jurisdiction over criminal justice policy that identifies and 
        explains all modifications made during the preceding 12 months

        legislature that year. 
           Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.12, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [GENERALLY.] The commissioner may order 
        that an offender who meets the eligibility requirements of 
        subdivisions 2 and 3 be placed on intensive community 
        supervision, as described in sections 244.14 and 244.15, for all 
        or part of the offender's sentence if the offender agrees to 
        participate in the program and if the commissioner notifies the 
        sentencing court approves in writing of the offender's 
        participation in the program.

        custody following revocation of a stayed sentence; and 
           (2) offenders who are committed to the commissioner's 
        custody for a sentence of 27 30 months or less, who did not 
        receive a dispositional departure under the sentencing 
        guidelines, and who have already served a period of 
        incarceration as a result of the offense for which they are 
        committed. 
           Sec. 17.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 244.13,

        commissioner to serve all or part of a sentence on intensive 
        community supervision or all or part of a supervised release or 
        parole term on intensive supervised release.  The adoption and

        244.05, subdivision 6, and 244.12 to 244.15 are not subject to 
        the rulemaking procedures of chapter 14.  The commissioner shall 
        locate the programs so that at least one-half of the money 
        appropriated for the programs in each year is used for programs 
        in community corrections act counties.  In awarding contracts 
        for intensive supervision programs in community corrections act 
        counties, the commissioner shall give first priority to programs 
        that utilize county employees as intensive supervision agents 
        and shall give second priority to programs that utilize state 
        employees as intensive supervision agents.  The commissioner may 
        award contracts to other providers in community corrections act 
        counties only if doing so will result in a significant cost 
        savings or a significant increase in the quality of services 
        provided, and only after notifying the chairs of the judiciary 
        committees in the senate and house of representatives with

        and intensive supervised release programs and shall compile a 
        report to the chairs of the committees in the senate and house 
        judiciary committees of representatives with jurisdiction over

        the offender's sentence.  During phase III, the commissioner

        244.05. continues until the commissioner determines that the 
        offender has successfully completed the program or until the 
        offender's sentence, minus jail credit, expires, whichever comes 
        first.  If an offender successfully completes phase III of the 
        challenge incarceration program before the offender's sentence 
        expires, the offender shall be placed on supervised release for 
        the remainder of the sentence.  The commissioner shall set the 
        level of the offender's supervision based on the public risk 
        presented by the offender.

        and senate with jurisdiction over criminal justice policy by 
        January 1, 1996, on the operation of the program.

        under this section shall provide the commissioner with a summary 
        of how the grant funds were spent and the extent to which the 
        objectives of the program were achieved.  The commissioner shall 
        submit a written report to the legislature chairs of the 
        committees of the senate and house of representatives with 
        jurisdiction over criminal justice policy and funding of crime 
        prevention programs, by February 1 each year, based on the

        committed to the commissioner after August 1, 1973, and confined 
        in a state correctional facility.  Provided, however, that the 
        amount charged a participating county for the costs of 
        confinement shall not exceed the subsidy to which the county is 
        eligible.  The commissioner shall annually determine costs 
        making necessary adjustments to reflect the actual costs of 
        confinement.  However, in no case shall the percentage increase 
        in the amount charged to the counties exceed the percentage by 
        which the appropriation for the purposes of sections 401.01 to 
        401.16 was increased over the preceding biennium.  The 
        commissioner of corrections shall bill the counties and deposit 
        the receipts from the counties in the general fund.  All charges 
        shall be a charge upon the county of commitment.

        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

        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. 
           The report shall also include the information relating to 
        crime victims required under section 611A.037, subdivision 1.  
        If the court directs, the report shall include an estimate of 
        the prospects of the defendant's rehabilitation and 
        recommendations as to the sentence which should be imposed.  In 
        misdemeanor cases the report may be oral. 
           When a defendant has been convicted of a felony, and before 
        sentencing, the court shall cause a sentencing worksheet to be 
        completed to facilitate the application of the Minnesota 
        sentencing guidelines.  The worksheet shall be submitted as part 
        of the presentence investigation report.  
           The investigation shall be made by a probation officer of 
        the court, if there is one, otherwise by the commissioner of 
        corrections.  The officer conducting the presentence or 
        predispositional investigation shall make reasonable and good 
        faith efforts to contact the victim of that crime and to provide 
        that victim with the information required under section 
        611A.037, subdivision 2. 
           When a person is convicted of a felony for which the 
        sentencing guidelines presume that the defendant will be 
        committed to the commissioner of corrections under an executed 
        sentence and no motion for a sentencing departure has been made 
        by counsel, the court may, when there is no space available in 
        the local correctional facility, commit the defendant to the 
        custody of the commissioner of corrections, pending completion 
        of the presentence investigation and report.  When a defendant 
        is convicted of a felony for which the sentencing guidelines do 
        not presume that the defendant will be committed to the 
        commissioner of corrections, or for which the sentencing 
        guidelines presume commitment to the commissioner but counsel 
        has moved for a sentencing departure, the court may commit the 
        defendant to the commissioner with the consent of the 
        commissioner, pending completion of the presentence 
        investigation and report.  The commissioner county of commitment 
        shall return the defendant to the court when the court so orders.
           Presentence investigations shall be conducted and summary 
        hearings held upon reports and upon the sentence to be imposed 
        upon the defendant in accordance with this section, section 
        244.10, and the rules of criminal procedure. 
           Sec. 26.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 631.425, 
        subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 6.  [REDUCTION OF SENTENCE.] The term of the inmate's 
        sentence may be reduced by one-fourth, if in the opinion of the 
        court the inmate's conduct, diligence, and general attitude 
        merit reduction, whether the term is part of an executed 
        sentence or is imposed as a condition of probation, shall, when 
        ten days or more, be reduced by one day for each two days 
        served, commencing on the day of arrival, during which the 
        inmate has not violated any rule or discipline of the place 
        within which the person is incarcerated and, if required to 
        labor, has labored with diligence and fidelity. 
           Sec. 27.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 642.09, is 
        amended to read:

        written report thereof to the commissioner of corrections upon 
        blanks furnished by the commissioner, and deliver a copy of such 
        report to the governing body of such city.  Upon filing such 
        report the authorized agent shall receive from the treasurer of 
        such municipality a fee of $5.  The sheriff of any county in 
        which a municipality maintains a lockup shall inspect such 
        lockup once a year at least once every biennium with the 
        approval of the commissioner of corrections, with reference to 
        its security and administration, and make a written report 
        thereof to the commissioner of corrections upon blanks furnished 
        by the commissioner, and deliver a copy of such report to the 
        governing body of the municipality maintaining such lockup.  The 
        commissioner may grant licensure up to two years.

        The study group shall determine whether current practices are 
        appropriate and sufficient to help correctional staff identify 
        and understand HIV/AIDS issues.  By December 15, 1994, the study 
        group shall: 
           (1) make a specific recommendation whether correctional 
        staff who have direct contact with inmates should be required to 
        attend continuing education on HIV/AIDS issues; and 
           (2) develop a plan for addressing inmate HIV/AIDS issues, 
        including prevention and education, early intervention, health

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                 CRIME VICTIMS
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.036, is 
        amended to read: 
           611A.036 [PROHIBITION AGAINST EMPLOYER RETALIATION.] 
           An employer or employer's agent who threatens to discharge 
        or discipline a victim or witness, or who discharges, 
        disciplines, or causes a victim or witness to be discharged from 
        employment or disciplined because the victim or the witness is 
        subpoenaed or requested by the prosecutor to attend court for 
        the purpose of giving testimony, is guilty of a misdemeanor and 
        may be punished for contempt of court.  In addition, the court 
        shall order the employer to offer job reinstatement to any 
        victim or witness discharged from employment in violation of 
        this section, and to pay the victim or witness back wages as 
        appropriate. 
           Sec. 2.  [611A.0385] [SENTENCING; IMPLEMENTATION OF RIGHT 
        TO NOTICE OF OFFENDER RELEASE.] 
           At the time of sentencing or the disposition hearing in a 
        case in which there is an identifiable victim, the court or its 
        designee shall make reasonable good faith efforts to inform each 
        affected victim of the offender notice of release provisions of 
        section 611A.06.  If the victim is a minor, the court or its 
        designee shall, if appropriate, also make reasonable good faith 
        efforts to inform the victim's parent or guardian of the right 
        to notice of release.  The state court administrator, in 
        consultation with the commissioner of corrections, shall prepare 
        a form that outlines the notice of release provisions under 
        section 611A.06 and describes how a victim should complete and 
        submit a request to the commissioner of corrections or other 
        custodial authority to be informed of an offender's release.  
        The state court administrator shall make these forms available 
        to court administrators who shall assist the court in 
        disseminating right to notice of offender release information to 
        victims. 
           Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        611A.04, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [REQUEST; DECISION.] (a) A victim of a 
        crime has the right to receive restitution as part of the 
        disposition of a criminal charge or juvenile delinquency 
        proceeding against the offender if the offender is convicted or 
        found delinquent.  The court, or a person or agency designated 
        by the court, shall request information from the victim to 
        determine the amount of restitution owed.  The court or its 
        designee shall obtain the information from the victim in 
        affidavit form or by other competent evidence.  Information 
        submitted relating to restitution must describe the items or 
        elements of loss, itemize the total dollar amounts of 
        restitution claimed, and specify the reasons justifying these 
        amounts, if restitution is in the form of money or property.  A 
        request for restitution may include, but is not limited to, any 
        out-of-pocket losses resulting from the crime, including medical 
        and therapy costs, replacement of wages and services, and 
        funeral expenses.  An actual or prospective civil action 
        involving the alleged crime shall not be used by the court as a 
        basis to deny a victim's right to obtain court ordered 
        restitution under this section.  In order to be considered at 
        the sentencing or dispositional hearing, all information 
        regarding restitution must be received by the court 
        administrator of the appropriate court at least three business 
        days before the sentencing or dispositional hearing.  The court 
        administrator shall provide copies of this request to the 
        prosecutor and the offender or the offender's attorney at least 
        24 hours before the sentencing or dispositional hearing.  The 
        issue of restitution may be reserved or the sentencing 
        or disposition dispositional hearing or hearing on the 
        restitution request may be continued if the victim's affidavit 
        or other competent evidence submitted by the victim is not 
        received in time.  At the sentencing or dispositional hearing, 
        the court shall give the offender an opportunity to respond to 
        specific items of restitution and their dollar amounts in 
        accordance with the procedures established in section 611A.045, 
        subdivision 3.  
           (b) The court may amend or issue an order of restitution 
        after the sentencing or dispositional hearing if: 
           (1) the offender is on probation, committed to the 
        commissioner of corrections, or on supervised release; 
           (2) information regarding restitution was submitted as 
        required under paragraph (a); and 
           (3) the true extent of the victim's loss was not known at 
        the time of the sentencing or dispositional hearing, or hearing 
        on the restitution request. 
           If the court holds a hearing on the restitution request, 
        the court must notify the offender, the offender's attorney, the 
        victim, and the prosecutor at least five business days before 
        the hearing.  The court's restitution decision is governed by 
        this section and section 611A.045. 
           (c) The court shall grant or deny restitution or partial 
        restitution and shall state on the record its reasons for its 
        decision on restitution if information relating to restitution 
        has been presented.  If the court grants partial restitution it 
        shall also specify the full amount of restitution that may be 
        docketed as a civil judgment under subdivision 3.  The court may 
        not require that the victim waive or otherwise forfeit any 
        rights or causes of action as a condition of granting 
        restitution or partial restitution.  In the case of a defendant 
        who is on probation, the court may not refuse to enforce an 
        order for restitution solely on the grounds that the order has 
        been docketed as a civil judgment.  
           Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.045, 
        subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 3.  [DISPUTE; EVIDENTIARY BURDEN; PROCEDURES.] At the 
        sentencing, dispositional hearing, or hearing on the restitution 
        request, the offender shall have the burden to produce evidence 
        if the offender intends to challenge the amount of restitution 
        or specific items of restitution or their dollar amounts.  This 
        burden of production must include a detailed sworn affidavit of 
        the offender setting forth all challenges to the restitution or 
        items of restitution, and specifying all reasons justifying 
        dollar amounts of restitution which differ from the amounts 
        requested by the victim or victims.  The affidavit must be 
        served on the prosecuting attorney and the court at least five 
        business days before the hearing.  A dispute as to the proper 
        amount or type of restitution must be resolved by the court by 
        the preponderance of the evidence.  The burden of demonstrating 
        the amount of loss sustained by a victim as a result of the 
        offense and the appropriateness of a particular type of 
        restitution is on the prosecution.  
           Sec. 5.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        611A.06, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [NOTICE OF RELEASE REQUIRED.] The 
        commissioner of corrections or other custodial authority shall 
        make a good faith effort to notify the victim that the offender 
        is to be released from imprisonment or incarceration, including 
        release on extended furlough and for work release; released from 
        a juvenile correctional facility; released from a facility in 
        which the offender was confined due to incompetency, mental 
        illness, or mental deficiency, or commitment under section 
        253B.18; or transferred to a minimum security setting if the 
        offender's custody status is reduced, if the victim has mailed 
        to the commissioner of corrections or to the head of the 
        facility in which the offender is confined a written request for 
        this notice.  The good faith effort to notify the victim must 
        occur prior to the offender's release, transfer, or change in 
        security when the offender's custody status is reduced.  For a 
        victim of a felony crime against the person for which the 
        offender was sentenced to imprisonment for more than 18 months, 
        the good faith effort to notify the victim must occur 60 days 
        before the offender's release, transfer, or change to minimum 
        security status. 
           Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.19, is 
        amended to read: 
           611A.19 [TESTING OF SEX OFFENDER FOR HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY 
        VIRUS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [TESTING ON REQUEST OF VICTIM.] (a) The 
        sentencing court may issue an order requiring a person convicted 
        of a violent crime, as defined in section 609.152, or a juvenile 
        adjudicated delinquent for violating section 609.342, 609.343, 
        609.344, or 609.345, to submit to testing to determine the 
        presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody if:  
           (1) the prosecutor moves for the test order in camera; 
           (2) the victim requests the test; and 
           (3) evidence exists that the broken skin or mucous membrane 
        of the victim was exposed to or had contact with the offender's 
        semen or blood during commission of the crime in a manner which 
        has been demonstrated epidemiologically to transmit the HIV 
        virus.  
           (b) If the court grants the prosecutor's motion, the court 
        shall order that the test be performed by an appropriate health 
        professional who is trained to provide the counseling described 
        in section 144.763, and that no reference to the test, the 
        motion requesting the test, the test order, or the test results 
        may appear in the criminal record or be maintained in any record 
        of the court or court services.  
           Subd. 2.  [DISCLOSURE OF TEST RESULTS.] The date and 
        results of any a test performed under subdivision 1 are private 
        data as defined in section 13.02, subdivision 12, when 
        maintained by a person subject to chapter 13, or may be released 
        only with the subject's consent, if maintained by a person not 
        subject to chapter 13.  The results are available, on request, 
        to the victim or, if the victim is a minor, to the victim's 
        parent or guardian and positive test results shall be reported 
        to the commissioner of health.  Any test results given to a 
        victim or victim's parent or guardian shall be provided by a 
        health professional who is trained to provide the counseling 
        described in section 144.763.  Data regarding administration and 
        results of the test are not accessible to any other person for 
        any purpose and shall not be maintained in any record of the 
        court or court services or any other record.  After the test 
        results are given to the victim or the victim's parent or 
        guardian, data on the test must be removed from any medical data 
        or health records maintained under section 13.42 or 144.335 and 
        destroyed. 
           Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1993 Supplement, section 
        611A.52, subdivision 8, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 8.  [ECONOMIC LOSS.] "Economic loss" means actual 
        economic detriment incurred as a direct result of injury or 
        death.  
           (a) In the case of injury the term is limited to:  
           (1) reasonable expenses incurred for necessary medical, 
        chiropractic, hospital, rehabilitative, and dental products, 
        services, or accommodations, including ambulance services, 
        drugs, appliances, and prosthetic devices; 
           (2) reasonable expenses associated with recreational 
        therapy where a claimant has suffered amputation of a limb; 
           (3) reasonable expenses incurred for psychological or 
        psychiatric products, services, or accommodations, not to exceed 
        an amount to be set by the board, where the nature of the injury 
        or the circumstances of the crime are such that the treatment is 
        necessary to the rehabilitation of the victim, subject to the 
        following limitations:  
           (i) if treatment is likely to continue longer than six 
        months after the date the claim is filed and the cost of the 
        additional treatment will exceed $1,500, or if the total cost of 
        treatment in any case will exceed $4,000, the provider shall 
        first submit to the board a plan which includes the measurable 
        treatment goals, the estimated cost of the treatment, and the 
        estimated date of completion of the treatment.  Claims submitted 
        for treatment that was provided more than 30 days after the 
        estimated date of completion may be paid only after advance 
        approval by the board of an extension of treatment; and 
           (ii) the board may, in its discretion, elect to pay claims 
        under this clause on a quarterly basis; 
           (4) loss of income that the victim would have earned had 
        the victim not been injured; 
           (5) reasonable expenses incurred for substitute child care 
        or household services to replace those the victim would have 
        performed had the victim not been injured.  As used in this 
        clause, "child care services" means services provided by 
        facilities licensed under and in compliance with either 
        Minnesota Rules, parts 9502.0315 to 9502.0445, or 9545.0510 to 
        9545.0670, or exempted from licensing requirements pursuant to 
        section 245A.03.  Licensed facilities must be paid at a rate not 
        to exceed their standard rate of payment.  Facilities exempted 
        from licensing requirements must be paid at a rate not to exceed 
        $3 an hour per child for daytime child care or $4 an hour per 
        child for evening child care; and 
           (6) reasonable expenses actually incurred to return a child 
        who was a victim of a crime under section 609.25 or 609.26 to 
        the child's parents or lawful custodian.  These expenses are 
        limited to transportation costs, meals, and lodging from the 
        time the child was located until the child was returned home.  
           (b) In the case of death the term is limited to:  
           (1) reasonable expenses actually incurred for funeral, 
        burial, or cremation, not to exceed an amount to be determined 
        by the board on the first day of each fiscal year; 
           (2) reasonable expenses for medical, chiropractic, 
        hospital, rehabilitative, psychological and psychiatric 
        services, products or accommodations which were incurred prior 
        to the victim's death and for which the victim's survivors or 
        estate are liable; 
           (3) loss of support, including contributions of money, 
        products or goods, but excluding services which the victim would 
        have supplied to dependents if the victim had lived; and 
           (4) reasonable expenses incurred for substitute child care 
        and household services to replace those which the victim would 
        have performed for the benefit of dependents if the victim had 
        lived.  
           Claims for loss of support for minor children made under 
        clause (3) must be paid for three years or until the child 
        reaches 18 years old, whichever is the shorter period.  After 
        three years, if the child is younger than 18 years old a claim 
        for loss of support may be resubmitted to the board, and the 
        board staff shall evaluate the claim giving consideration to the 
        child's financial need and to the availability of funds to the 
        board.  Claims for loss of support for a spouse made under 
        clause (3) shall also be reviewed at least once every three 
        years.  The board staff shall evaluate the claim giving 
        consideration to the spouse's financial need and to the 
        availability of funds to the board.  
           Claims for substitute child care services made under clause 
        (4) must be limited to the actual care that the deceased victim 
        would have provided to enable surviving family members to pursue 
        economic, educational, and other activities other than 
        recreational activities.  
           Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611A.53, 
        subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 2.  No reparations shall be awarded to a claimant 
        otherwise eligible if:  
           (a) the crime was not reported to the police within five 30 
        days of its occurrence or, if it could not reasonably have been 
        reported within that period, within five 30 days of the time 
        when a report could reasonably have been made.  A victim of 
        criminal sexual conduct in the first, second, third, or fourth 
        degree who does not report the crime within five 30 days of its 
        occurrence is deemed to have been unable to have reported it 
        within that period; 
           (b) the victim or claimant failed or refused to cooperate 
        fully with the police and other law enforcement officials; 
           (c) the victim or claimant was the offender or an 
        accomplice of the offender or an award to the claimant would 
        unjustly benefit the offender or an accomplice; 
           (d) the victim or claimant was in the act of committing a 
        crime at the time the injury occurred; 
           (e) no claim was filed with the board within one year two 
        years of victim's injury or death; except that (1) if the 
        claimant was unable to file a claim within that period, then the 
        claim can be made within one year two years of the time when a 
        claim could have been filed; and (2) if the victim's injury or 
        death was not reasonably discoverable within one year two years 
        of the injury or death, then the claim can be made within one 
        year two years of the time when the injury or death is 
        reasonably discoverable.  The following circumstances do not 
        render a claimant unable to file a claim for the purposes of 
        this clause:  (1) lack of knowledge of the existence of the 
        Minnesota crime victims reparations act, (2) the failure of a 
        law enforcement agency to provide information or assistance to a 
        potential claimant under section 611A.66, (3) the incompetency 
        of the claimant if the claimant's affairs were being managed 
        during that period by a guardian, guardian ad litem, 
        conservator, authorized agent, or parent, or (4) the fact that 
        the claimant is not of the age of majority; or 
           (f) the claim is less than $50.  
           The limitations contained in clauses (a) and (e) do not 
        apply to victims of domestic child abuse as defined in section 
        260.015, subdivision 24.  In those cases the one two-year 
        limitation period commences running with the report of the crime 
        to the police; provided that no claim as a result of loss due to 
        domestic child abuse may be paid when the claimant is 21 years 
        of age or older at the time the claim is filed.

        compensated for required attendance at sessions of court and may 
        be reimbursed for additional day care expenses incurred as a 
        result of jury duty at rates determined by the supreme court.  A 
        juror may request reimbursement for additional parking expenses 
        incurred as a result of jury duty, in which case the 
        reimbursement shall be paid and the juror's compensation for 
        required attendance at sessions of court shall be reduced by the 
        amount of the parking reimbursement.  Except in the eighth 
        judicial district where the state shall pay directly, the 
        compensation and reimbursement shall be paid out of the county 
        treasury upon receipt of authorization to pay from the jury 
        commissioner.  These jury costs shall be reimbursed monthly by 
        the supreme court upon submission of an invoice by the county 
        treasurer.  A monthly report of payments to jurors shall be sent 
        to the jury commissioner within two weeks of the end of the 
        month in the form required by the jury commissioner.

        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  [DEPOSIT OF PAPERS.] Every county recorder, 
        and every court administrator of a court of record, upon being 
        paid the legal fees therefor, shall receive and deposit in the 
        office any instruments or papers which shall be offered for that 
        purpose and, if required, shall give to the person depositing 
        the same a receipt therefor. 
           Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 611.21, is 
        amended to read: 
           611.21 [SERVICES OTHER THAN COUNSEL.] 
           (a) Counsel, whether or not appointed by the court, for a 
        an indigent defendant who is financially unable to obtain, or 
        representing a defendant who, at the outset of the prosecution, 
        has an annual income not greater than 125 percent of the poverty 
        line established under United States Code, title 42, section 
        9902(2), may file an ex parte application requesting 
        investigative, expert, or other services necessary to an 
        adequate defense in the case may request them in an ex parte 
        application.  Upon finding, after appropriate inquiry in an ex 
        parte proceeding, that the services are necessary and that the 
        defendant is financially unable to obtain them, the court shall 
        authorize counsel to obtain the services on behalf of the 
        defendant.  The court may establish a limit on the amount which 
        may be expended or promised for such services.  The court may, 
        in the interests of justice, and upon a finding that timely 
        procurement of necessary services could not await prior 
        authorization, ratify such services after they have been 
        obtained, but such ratification shall be given only in unusual 
        situations.  The court shall determine reasonable compensation 
        for the services and direct payment by the county in which the 
        prosecution originated, to the organization or person who 
        rendered them, upon the filing of a claim for compensation 
        supported by an affidavit specifying the time expended, services 
        rendered, and expenses incurred on behalf of the defendant, and 
        the compensation received in the same case or for the same 
        services from any other source. 
           (b) The compensation to be paid to a person for such 
        service rendered to a defendant under this section, or to be 
        paid to an organization for such services rendered by an 
        employee, may not exceed $1,000, exclusive of reimbursement for 
        expenses reasonably incurred, unless payment in excess of that 
        limit is certified by the court as necessary to provide fair 
        compensation for services of an unusual character or duration 
        and the amount of the excess payment is approved by the chief 
        judge of the district.  The chief judge of the judicial district 
        may delegate approval authority to an active district judge.  
           (c) If the court denies authorizing counsel to obtain 
        services on behalf of the defendant, the court shall make 
        written findings of fact and conclusions of law that state the 
        basis for determining that counsel may not obtain services on 
        behalf of the defendant.  When the court issues an order denying 
        counsel the authority to obtain services, the defendant may 
        appeal immediately from that order to the court of appeals and 
        may request an expedited hearing. 
           Sec. 15.  [629.74] [PRETRIAL BAIL EVALUATION.] 
           The local corrections department or its designee shall 
        conduct a pretrial bail evaluation of each defendant arrested 
        and detained for committing a crime of violence as defined in 
        section 624.712, subdivision 5, a gross misdemeanor violation of 
        section 609.224, or a nonfelony violation of section 518B.01, 
        609.2231, 609.3451, 609.748, or 609.749.  In cases where the 
        defendant requests appointed counsel, the evaluation shall 
        include completion of the financial statement required by 
        section 611.17.  The local corrections department shall be 
        reimbursed $25 by the department of corrections for each 
        evaluation performed.  The conference of chief judges, in 
        consultation with the department of corrections, shall approve 
        the pretrial evaluation form to be used in each county. 
           Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 631.021, is

           The time periods referred to in clauses (1) to (3) must be 
        measured from the date the criminal complaint is filed, to the 
        date the defendant is either found not guilty or is sentenced.  
        If the criminal case begins by indictment rather than by 
        criminal complaint, the time period must be measured from the 
        date the indictment is returned. 
           Sec. 17.  [PROSECUTOR TRAINING.] 
           The county attorneys association, in conjunction with the

           Sec. 7.  [PURPOSE.] 
           It is well established that children who are chronically 
        absent from school face a bleak future in that they are at 
        greater risk of ending up in the delinquency system, becoming 
        high school dropouts, and finding themselves without the skills 
        necessary to have a productive work life as adults.  To 
        effectively combat truancy and educational neglect, there needs 
        to be a continuum of intervention and services to support 
        parents and children and keep children in school.  That 
        continuum should be characterized by progressively intrusive 
        intervention beginning with the strongest efforts at the school 
        and community level and offering access to the public agency and 
        court's authority when necessary. 
           Sec. 8.  [126.25] [COMMUNITY-BASED TRUANCY ACTION 
        PROJECTS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [ESTABLISHMENT.] The commissioner of 
        education shall establish demonstration projects to reduce 
        truancy rates in schools by early identification of students 
        with school absenteeism problems and providing appropriate 
        interventions based on each student's underlying issues that are 
        contributing to the truant behavior. 
           Subd. 2.  [PROGRAM COMPONENTS.] (a) Projects eligible for 
        grants under this section shall be community-based and must 
        include cooperation between at least one school and one 
        community agency and provide coordinated intervention, 
        prevention, and educational services.  Services may include: 
           (1) assessment for underlying issues that are contributing 
        to the child's truant behavior; 
           (2) referral to community-based services for the child and 
        family which includes, but is not limited to, individual or 
        family counseling, educational testing, psychological 
        evaluations, tutoring, mentoring, and mediation; 
           (3) transition services to integrate the child back into 
        school and to help the child succeed once there; 
           (4) culturally sensitive programming and staffing; and 
           (5) increased school response including in-school 
        suspension, better attendance monitoring and enforcement, 
        after-school study programs, and in-service training for 
        teachers and staff. 
           (b) Priority will be given to grants that include: 
           (1) local law enforcement; 
           (2) elementary and middle schools; 
           (3) multiple schools and multiple community agencies; 
           (4) parent associations; and 
           (5) neighborhood associations. 
           Subd. 3.  [EVALUATION.] Grant recipients must report to the 
        commissioner of public safety by September 1 of each year on the 
        services and programs provided, the number of children served, 
        the average daily attendance for the school year, and the number 
        of habitual truancy and educational neglect petitions referred 
        for court intervention. 
           Sec. 9.  [144.3872] [FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION; EDUCATION 
        AND OUTREACH.] 
           The commissioner of health shall carry out appropriate 
        education, prevention, and outreach activities in communities 
        that traditionally practice female circumcision, excision, or 
        infibulation to inform people in those communities about the 
        health risks and emotional trauma inflicted by those practices 
        and to inform them and the medical community of the criminal 
        penalties contained in section 609.2245.  The commissioner shall 
        work with culturally appropriate groups to obtain private funds 
        to help finance these prevention and outreach activities.

        to develop and provide effective intervention and treatment for 
        children under the age of ten who are committing or have 
        committed unlawful acts.  The commissioners may determine the 
        length of the demonstration project. 
           Subd. 2.  [REPORT.] After the demonstration project has 
        been completed, the commissioners shall evaluate its success and 
        make recommendations to the legislature concerning the types of 
        services that should be provided to these children.

        factors that contribute to their behavior.  One pilot project 
        must examine early protective and risk factors associated with 
        adolescent sex offenders in order to identify children who are 
        high risk to become offenders and to develop earlier 
        intervention strategies.  The second pilot project must develop 
        and implement an intervention program for children identified as 
        high risk to become sex offenders. 
           Subd. 2.  [FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT.] By March 15, 1995, the 
        institute must report to the commissioner of health the results 
        of grant-seeking efforts, the location of resources for 
        non-project-related expenses and the status and preliminary 
        findings of the pilot projects under subdivision 1. 
           Sec. 13.  [MALE RESPONSIBILITY AND FATHERING GRANTS.] 
           Subdivision 1.  [ESTABLISHMENT; PURPOSE.] A grant program 
        for fiscal year 1995 is established to educate young people, 
        particularly males ages ten to 21, on the responsibilities of

        recipients must promote public awareness of male responsibility 
        issues in the collaborating school district.  Grant recipients 
        may offer support groups, health and nutrition education, and 
        mentoring and peer teaching.

        defender.  Assistant district public defenders must be appointed 
        to ensure broad geographic representation and caseload 
        distribution within the district.  Each assistant district 
        public defender serves at the pleasure of the chief district 
        public defender.  A chief district public defender is 
        authorized, subject to approval by the state board of public 
        defense or their designee, to hire an independent contractor to 
        perform the duties of an assistant public defender.

        subdivision 1 directing counties to pay the costs of public 
        defense service shall not be in effect between July 1, 1993
