  1.38  BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.39                             ARTICLE 1 
  1.40      MANDATORY LIFE SENTENCES AND INDETERMINATE SENTENCES FOR 
  1.41        SEX OFFENDERS; OTHER SEX OFFENDER SENTENCING CHANGES 
  2.1      Section 1.  [LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.] 
  2.2      The legislature finds that sex offenders pose a significant 
  2.3   threat to public safety, are unique in their psychological 
  2.4   makeup, and are particularly likely to continue to be dangerous 
  2.5   after their release from imprisonment.  The legislature also 
  2.6   finds that sex offenders inflict long-standing psychological 
  2.7   harm on their victims and significantly undermine victim and 
  2.8   community safety to a greater extent than most other criminal 
  2.9   offenses.  Based on these findings, the legislature believes sex 
  2.10  offenders need long-term supervision and treatment beyond that 
  2.11  provided other offenders.  The legislature further believes this 
  2.12  type of supervision and treatment is best provided in a secure 
  2.13  correctional facility and public safety warrants the use of 
  2.14  state resources for this purpose. 
  2.15     The legislature's purpose in enacting this legislation is 
  2.16  to provide courts and corrections and treatment professionals 
  2.17  with the tools necessary to protect public safety through use of 
  2.18  longer, more flexible sentences than currently provided by law.  
  2.19  The legislature intends that a sex offender's past and future 
  2.20  dangerousness be considered both in sentencing and release 
  2.21  decisions. 
  2.22     Sec. 2.  [244.048] [DEFINITIONS.] 
  2.23     For the purpose of sections 244.05 to 244.0515, the

  3.5   subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
  3.6      Subd. 5.  [SUPERVISED RELEASE, LIFE SENTENCE.] (a) The 
  3.7   commissioner of corrections may, under rules promulgated by the 
  3.8   commissioner, give supervised release to an inmate serving a 
  3.9   mandatory life sentence under section 609.185, clause (1), (3), 
  3.10  (5), or (6)~~; 609.109, subdivision 2a;~~, or 609.385 after the 
  3.11  inmate has served the minimum term of imprisonment specified in 
  3.12  subdivision 4. 
  3.13     (b) The commissioner shall require the preparation of a 
  3.14  community investigation report and shall consider the findings 
  3.15  of the report when making a supervised release decision under 
  3.16  this subdivision or a conditional release decision under section 
  3.17  244.0514.  The report shall reflect the sentiment of the various 
  3.18  elements of the community toward the inmate, both at the time of 
  3.19  the offense and at the present time.  The report shall include 
  3.20  the views of the sentencing judge, the prosecutor, any law 
  3.21  enforcement personnel who may have been involved in the case, 
  3.22  and any successors to these individuals who may have information 
  3.23  relevant to the supervised release or conditional release 
  3.24  decision.  The report shall also include the views of the victim 
  3.25  and the victim's family unless the victim or the victim's family

  3.27  report required by this paragraph to the Minnesota Sex Offender 
  3.28  Review Board described in section 244.0515 at least six months 
  3.29  before the inmate is first eligible for release.  The 
  3.30  commissioner also shall give the board, on request, any and all 
  3.31  information the commissioner gathered for use in compiling the 
  3.32  report. 
  3.33     (c) The commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to 
  3.34  notify the victim, in advance, of the time and place of the 
  3.35  inmate's supervised release review hearing.  The victim has a 
  3.36  right to submit an oral or written statement at the review 
  4.1   hearing.  The statement may summarize the harm suffered by the 
  4.2   victim as a result of the crime and give the victim's 
  4.3   recommendation on whether the inmate should be given supervised 
  4.4   release at this time.  The commissioner must consider the 
  4.5   victim's statement when making the supervised release decision. 
  4.6      (d) As used in this subdivision, "victim" means the 
  4.7   individual who suffered harm as a result of the inmate's crime 
  4.8   or, if the individual is deceased, the deceased's surviving 
  4.9   spouse or next of kin.

  4.19     Subd. 2.  [RELATIONSHIP TO SUPERVISED RELEASE.] Except as 
  4.20  otherwise provided in this section and sections 244.0515 and 
  4.21  609.3459, the provisions related to supervised release in 
  4.22  section 244.05 apply to inmates on conditional release. 
  4.23     Subd. 3.  [MINIMUM IMPRISONMENT; LIFE SENTENCE.] An inmate 
  4.24  serving a mandatory life sentence under section 609.342, 
  4.25  subdivision 2, or section 609.3458, subdivision 3, must not be 
  4.26  given conditional release under this section unless the inmate 
  4.27  is serving an indeterminate sentence under section 609.3455.  An 
  4.28  inmate serving a mandatory life sentence under section 609.3455 
  4.29  must not be given conditional release under this section without 
  4.30  having first served the minimum term of imprisonment specified 
  4.31  by the court under section 609.3455, subdivision 2.  An inmate

  5.15  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
  5.16     Subd. 3.  [END-OF-CONFINEMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE.] (a) The 
  5.17  commissioner of corrections shall establish and administer 
  5.18  end-of-confinement review committees at each state correctional 
  5.19  facility and at each state treatment facility where predatory 
  5.20  offenders are confined.  The committees shall assess on a 
  5.21  case-by-case basis the public risk posed by predatory offenders 
  5.22  who are about to be released from confinement. 
  5.23     (b) Each committee shall be a standing committee and shall 
  5.24  consist of the following members appointed by the commissioner: 
  5.25     (1) the chief executive officer or head of the correctional 
  5.26  or treatment facility where the offender is currently confined, 
  5.27  or that person's designee; 
  5.28     (2) a law enforcement officer; 
  5.29     (3) a treatment professional who is trained in the 
  5.30  assessment of sex offenders; 
  5.31     (4) a caseworker experienced in supervising sex offenders; 
  5.32  and 
  5.33     (5) a victim's services professional. 
  5.34     Members of the committee, other than the facility's chief 
  5.35  executive officer or head, shall be appointed by the 
  5.36  commissioner to two-year terms.  The chief executive officer or 
  6.1   head of the facility or designee shall act as chair of the 
  6.2   committee and shall use the facility's staff, as needed, to 
  6.3   administer the committee, obtain necessary information from 
  6.4   outside sources, and prepare risk assessment reports on 
  6.5   offenders. 
  6.6      (c) The committee shall have access to the following data 
  6.7   on a predatory offender only for the purposes of its assessment 
  6.8   and to defend the committee's risk assessment determination upon 
  6.9   administrative review under this section: 
  6.10     (1) private medical data under section 13.384 or 144.335, 
  6.11  or welfare data under section 13.46 that relate to medical

  6.17     (4) private criminal history data under section 13.87. 
  6.18     Data collected and maintained by the committee under this 
  6.19  paragraph may not be disclosed outside the committee, except as 
  6.20  provided under section 13.05, subdivision 3 or 4.  The predatory 
  6.21  offender has access to data on the offender collected and 
  6.22  maintained by the committee, unless the data are confidential 
  6.23  data received under this paragraph. 
  6.24     (d)(i) Except as otherwise provided in ~~item~~ 
  6.25  items (ii), (iii), and (iv), at least 90 days before a predatory 
  6.26  offender is to be released from confinement, the commissioner of 
  6.27  corrections shall convene the appropriate end-of-confinement 
  6.28  review committee for the purpose of assessing the risk presented 
  6.29  by the offender and determining the risk level to which the 
  6.30  offender shall be assigned under paragraph (e).  The offender 
  6.31  and the law enforcement agency that was responsible for the 
  6.32  charge resulting in confinement shall be notified of the time 
  6.33  and place of the committee's meeting.  The offender has a right 
  6.34  to be present and be heard at the meeting.  The law enforcement 
  6.35  agency may provide material in writing that is relevant to the 
  6.36  offender's risk level to the chair of the committee.  The 
  7.1   committee shall use the risk factors described in paragraph (g) 
  7.2   and the risk assessment scale developed under subdivision 2 to 
  7.3   determine the offender's risk assessment score and risk level.  
  7.4   Offenders scheduled for release from confinement shall be 
  7.5   assessed by the committee established at the facility from which 
  7.6   the offender is to be released.  
  7.7      (ii) If an offender is received for confinement in a 
  7.8   facility with less than 90 days remaining in the offender's term 
  7.9   of confinement, the offender's risk shall be assessed at the 
  7.10  first regularly scheduled end of confinement review committee 
  7.11  that convenes after the appropriate documentation for the risk 
  7.12  assessment is assembled by the committee.  The commissioner 
  7.13  shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that offender's risk is 
  7.14  assessed and a risk level is assigned or reassigned at least 30 
  7.15  days before the offender's release date. 
  7.16     (iii) If the offender is subject to an indeterminate 
  7.17  sentence under section 609.3455 or was sentenced under section 
  7.18  609.3458, subdivision 3, the commissioner of corrections shall 
  7.19  convene the appropriate end-of-confinement review committee at 
  7.20  least nine months before the offender is first eligible for 
  7.21  release.  If the offender is received for confinement in a 
  7.22  facility with fewer than nine months remaining before the 
  7.23  offender is first eligible for release, the committee shall 
  7.24  conform its procedures to those outlined in item (ii) to the 
  7.25  extent practicable.  
  7.26     (iv) If the predatory offender is granted conditional 
  7.27  release under section 244.0515, the commissioner of corrections 
  7.28  shall notify the appropriate end-of-confinement review committee 
  7.29  that it needs to review the offender's previously determined 
  7.30  risk level at its next regularly scheduled meeting.  The 
  7.31  commissioner shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the 
  7.32  offender's earlier risk level determination is reviewed and the 
  7.33  risk level is confirmed or reassigned at least 60 days before 
  7.34  the offender's release date.  The committee shall give the 
  7.35  report to the offender and to the law enforcement agency at 
  7.36  least 60 days before an offender is released from confinement.  
  8.1      (e) The committee shall assign to risk level I a predatory 
  8.2   offender whose risk assessment score indicates a low risk of 
  8.3   reoffense.  The committee shall assign to risk level II an 
  8.4   offender whose risk assessment score indicates a moderate risk 
  8.5   of reoffense.  The committee shall assign to risk level III an 
  8.6   offender whose risk assessment score indicates a high risk of 
  8.7   reoffense. 
  8.8      (f) Before the predatory offender is released from 
  8.9   confinement, the committee shall prepare a risk assessment 
  8.10  report which specifies the risk level to which the offender has 
  8.11  been assigned and the reasons underlying the committee's risk 
  8.12  assessment decision.  Except for an offender subject to an 
  8.13  indeterminate sentence under section 609.3455 who has not been 
  8.14  granted conditional release by the Minnesota Sex Offender Review 
  8.15  Board, The committee shall give the report to the offender and 
  8.16  to the law enforcement agency at least 60 days before an 
  8.17  offender is released from confinement.  If the offender is 
  8.18  subject to an indeterminate sentence and has not yet served the 
  8.19  entire minimum term of imprisonment, the committee shall give 
  8.20  the report to the offender, the commissioner, and the Minnesota 
  8.21  Sex Offender Review Board at least six months before the 
  8.22  offender is first eligible for release.  The committee also 
  8.23  shall give the board, on request, any and all information the 
  8.24  committee reviewed in making its risk assessment.  If the risk 
  8.25  assessment is performed under the circumstances described in 
  8.26  paragraph (d), item (ii), the report shall be given to the 
  8.27  offender and the law enforcement agency as soon as it is 
  8.28  available.  The committee also shall inform the offender of the 
  8.29  availability of review under subdivision 6. 
  8.30     (g) As used in this subdivision, "risk factors" includes, 
  8.31  but is not limited to, the following factors: 
  8.32     (1) the seriousness of the offense should the offender 
  8.33  reoffend.  This factor includes consideration of the following:  
  8.34     (i) the degree of likely force or harm; 
  8.35     (ii) the degree of likely physical contact; and 
  8.36     (iii) the age of the likely victim; 
  9.1      (2) the offender's prior offense history.  This factor 
  9.2   includes consideration of the following: 
  9.3      (i) the relationship of prior victims to the offender; 
  9.4      (ii) the number of prior offenses or victims; 
  9.5      (iii) the duration of the offender's prior offense history; 
  9.6      (iv) the length of time since the offender's last prior 
  9.7   offense while the offender was at risk to commit offenses; and 
  9.8      (v) the offender's prior history of other antisocial acts; 
  9.9      (3) the offender's characteristics.  This factor includes 
  9.10  consideration of the following:  
  9.11     (i) the offender's response to prior treatment efforts; and 
  9.12     (ii) the offender's history of substance abuse; 
  9.13     (4) the availability of community supports to the offender. 
  9.14  This factor includes consideration of the following: 
  9.15     (i) the availability and likelihood that the offender will 
  9.16  be involved in therapeutic treatment; 
  9.17     (ii) the availability of residential supports to the 
  9.18  offender, such as a stable and supervised living arrangement in 
  9.19  an appropriate location; 
  9.20     (iii) the offender's familial and social relationships, 
  9.21  including the nature and length of these relationships and the 
  9.22  level of support that the offender may receive from these 
  9.23  persons; and 
  9.24     (iv) the offender's lack of education or employment 
  9.25  stability; 
  9.26     (5) whether the offender has indicated or credible evidence 
  9.27  in the record indicates that the offender will reoffend if 
  9.28  released into the community; and 
  9.29     (6) whether the offender demonstrates a physical condition 
  9.30  that minimizes the risk of reoffense, including but not limited 
  9.31  to, advanced age or a debilitating illness or physical condition.
  9.32     (h) Upon the request of the law enforcement agency or the 
  9.33  offender's corrections agent, the commissioner may reconvene the 
  9.34  end-of-confinement review committee for the purpose of 
  9.35  reassessing the risk level to which an offender has been 
  9.36  assigned under paragraph (e).  In a request for a reassessment, 
 10.1   the law enforcement agency which was responsible for the charge 
 10.2   resulting in confinement or agent shall list the facts and 
 10.3   circumstances arising after the initial assignment or facts and 
 10.4   circumstances known to law enforcement or the agent but not 
 10.5   considered by the committee under paragraph (e) which support 
 10.6   the request for a reassessment.  The request for reassessment by 
 10.7   the law enforcement agency must occur within 30 days of receipt 
 10.8   of the report indicating the offender's risk level assignment.  
 10.9   The offender's corrections agent, in consultation with the chief 
 10.10  law enforcement officer in the area where the offender resides 
 10.11  or intends to reside, may request a review of a risk level at 
 10.12  any time if substantial evidence exists that the offender's risk 
 10.13  level should be reviewed by an end-of-confinement review 
 10.14  committee.  This evidence includes, but is not limited to, 
 10.15  evidence of treatment failures or completions, evidence of 
 10.16  exceptional crime-free community adjustment or lack of 
 10.17  appropriate adjustment, evidence of substantial community need 
 10.18  to know more about the offender or mitigating circumstances that 
 10.19  would narrow the proposed scope of notification, or other 
 10.20  practical situations articulated and based in evidence of the 
 10.21  offender's behavior while under supervision.  Upon review of the 
 10.22  request, the end-of-confinement review committee may reassign an 
 10.23  offender to a different risk level.  If the offender is 
 10.24  reassigned to a higher risk level, the offender has the right to 
 10.25  seek review of the committee's determination under subdivision 6.
 10.26     (i) An offender may request the end-of-confinement review 
 10.27  committee to reassess the offender's assigned risk level after 
 10.28  three years have elapsed since the committee's initial risk 
 10.29  assessment and may renew the request once every two years 
 10.30  following subsequent denials.  In a request for reassessment, 
 10.31  the offender shall list the facts and circumstances which 
 10.32  demonstrate that the offender no longer poses the same degree of 
 10.33  risk to the community.  In order for a request for a risk level 
 10.34  reduction to be granted, the offender must demonstrate full 
 10.35  compliance with supervised release conditions, completion of 
 10.36  required post-release treatment programming, and full compliance 
 11.1   with all registration requirements as detailed in section 
 11.2   243.166.  The offender must also not have been convicted of any 
 11.3   felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor offenses subsequent to 
 11.4   the assignment of the original risk level.  The committee shall 
 11.5   follow the process outlined in paragraphs (a) to (c) in the 
 11.6   reassessment.  An offender who is incarcerated may not request a 
 11.7   reassessment under this paragraph. 
 11.8      (j) Offenders returned to prison as release violators shall 
 11.9   not have a right to a subsequent risk reassessment by the 
 11.10  end-of-confinement review committee unless substantial evidence 
 11.11  indicates that the offender's risk to the public has increased. 
 11.12     (k) The commissioner shall establish an end-of-confinement 
 11.13  review committee to assign a risk level to offenders who are 
 11.14  released from a federal correctional facility in Minnesota or 
 11.15  another state and who intend to reside in Minnesota, and to 
 11.16  offenders accepted from another state under a reciprocal 
 11.17  agreement for parole supervision under the interstate compact 
 11.18  authorized by section 243.16.  The committee shall make 
 11.19  reasonable efforts to conform to the same timelines as applied 
 11.20  to Minnesota cases.  Offenders accepted from another state under 
 11.21  a reciprocal agreement for probation supervision are not 
 11.22  assigned a risk level, but are considered downward dispositional 
 11.23  departures.  The probation or court services officer and law 
 11.24  enforcement officer shall manage such cases in accordance with 
 11.25  section 244.10, subdivision 2a.  The policies and procedures of 
 11.26  the committee for federal offenders and interstate compact cases 
 11.27  must be in accordance with all requirements as set forth in this 
 11.28  section, unless restrictions caused by the nature of federal or 
 11.29  interstate transfers prevents such conformance. 
 11.30     (l) If the committee assigns a predatory offender to risk 
 11.31  level III, the committee shall determine whether residency 
 11.32  restrictions shall be included in the conditions of the 
 11.33  offender's release based on the offender's pattern of offending 
 11.34  behavior.

 27.21  to an offender convicted of a violation of section 609.3453 or 
 27.22  an attempted violation of section 609.3453.  This section also

 28.6   Unless a longer mandatory minimum sentence is otherwise required 
 28.7   by law, the presumptive minimum term of imprisonment for an 
 28.8   offense listed in subdivision 1 is the minimum term of 
 28.9   imprisonment for the offense committed or, in the case of an 
 28.10  upward dispositional departure, the minimum term of imprisonment

 28.13  consider whether a longer mandatory minimum sentence is required 
 28.14  under section 609.342, 609.343, 609.3457, or 609.3458.  The 
 28.15  minimum term of imprisonment must be served before the offender

 28.21  court finds substantial and compelling reasons to do so.  In no 
 28.22  case shall the court impose a minimum term of imprisonment that 
 28.23  is less than one year and one day.  A sentence imposed under 
 28.24  this subdivision is a departure from the Sentencing Guidelines.

 28.27     (d) Notwithstanding section 609.135, the court may not stay 
 28.28  the imposition or execution of the sentence required by this 
 28.29  section.  An offender committed to the custody of the 
 28.30  commissioner of corrections under this section may not be 
 28.31  released from incarceration except as provided in sections 
 28.32  244.05, subdivision 8; 244.0514, subdivision 4; and 244.0515.

 28.34  from a state correctional facility after receiving a sentence

 29.10  period of time that is not less than double the presumptive 
 29.11  sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines and not more than the 
 29.12  statutory maximum, or if the statutory maximum is less than 
 29.13  double the presumptive sentence, for a period of time that is 
 29.14  equal to the statutory maximum, if: 
 29.15     (1) the court is imposing an executed sentence on a person 
 29.16  convicted of committing or attempting to commit a violation of 
 29.17  section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 609.345, or 609.3453;

 29.20     (3) the court finds that the offender needs long-term 
 29.21  treatment or supervision beyond the presumptive term of 
 29.22  imprisonment and supervised release.  The finding must be based 
 29.23  on a professional assessment by an examiner experienced in 
 29.24  evaluating sex offenders that concludes that the offender is a 
 29.25  patterned sex offender.  The assessment must contain the facts 
 29.26  upon which the conclusion is based, with reference to the 
 29.27  offense history of the offender or the severity of the current 
 29.28  offense, the social history of the offender, and the results of 
 29.29  an examination of the offender's mental status unless the 
 29.30  offender refuses to be examined.  The conclusion may not be 
 29.31  based on testing alone.  A patterned sex offender is one whose 
 29.32  criminal sexual behavior is so engrained that the risk of 
 29.33  reoffending is great without intensive psychotherapeutic 
 29.34  intervention or other long-term controls. 
 29.35     (b) The court shall consider imposing a sentence under this 
 29.36  section whenever a person is convicted of violating section 
 30.1   609.342 or 609.343. 
 30.2      (c) If the court sentences a person under this subdivision 
 30.3   and the person is subject to indeterminate sentencing under 
 30.4   section 609.3455, the minimum term of imprisonment shall be 
 30.5   two-thirds of the minimum sentence specified in this 
 30.6   subdivision, plus disciplinary time, unless a longer minimum 
 30.7   term of imprisonment is otherwise required for the offense.  The 
 30.8   maximum term of imprisonment shall be as provided in section 
 30.9   609.3455. 
 30.10     Subd. 2.  [DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY.] The court shall base 
 30.11  its finding that the offender is a danger to public safety on 
 30.12  any of the following factors: 
 30.13     (1) the crime involved an aggravating factor that would 
 30.14  justify a durational departure from the presumptive sentence 
 30.15  under the Sentencing Guidelines; or 
 30.16     (2) the offender previously committed or attempted to 
 30.17  commit a predatory crime or a violation of section 609.224 or 
 30.18  609.2242, including: 
 30.19     (i) an offense committed as a juvenile that would have been 
 30.20  a predatory crime or a violation of section 609.224 or 609.2242 
 30.21  if committed by an adult; or 
 30.22     (ii) a violation or attempted violation of a similar law of 
 30.23  any other state or the United States; or 
 30.24     (3) the offender planned for or prepared for the crime 
 30.25  prior to its commission. 
 30.26     Subd. 3.  [DEPARTURE FROM GUIDELINES.] A sentence imposed 
 30.27  under subdivision 1 is a departure from the Sentencing 
 30.28  Guidelines. 
 30.29     <b>[EFFECTIVE DATE.]</b> This section is effective August 1, 2005, 
 30.30  and applies to crimes committed on or after that date. 
 30.31     Sec. 20.  [609.3458] [MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCES FOR 
 30.32  REPEAT OR AGGRAVATED SEX OFFENSES.] 
 30.33     Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION; CONVICTION OF OFFENSE.] For 
 30.34  purposes of this section, "offense" means a completed offense or 
 30.35  an attempt to commit an offense. 
 30.36     Subd. 2.  [PRESUMPTIVE EXECUTED SENTENCE.] (a) Except as 
 31.1   provided in subdivision 3, if a person is convicted under 
 31.2   section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345 and has a previous 
 31.3   sex offense conviction, the court shall commit the defendant to 
 31.4   the commissioner of corrections for a minimum sentence of not 
 31.5   less than three years.  Except as provided in subdivision 3, if 
 31.6   a person is convicted under section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 
 31.7   or 609.345 within five years of discharge from sentence for a 
 31.8   previous sex offense conviction, the court shall commit the 
 31.9   defendant to the commissioner of corrections for a minimum 
 31.10  sentence of not less than five years.  The court may stay the 
 31.11  execution of the sentence imposed under this subdivision only if:
 31.12     (1) the offense is not governed by an indeterminate 
 31.13  sentence under section 609.3455; and 
 31.14     (2) it finds that a professional assessment indicates the 
 31.15  offender is accepted by and can respond to treatment at a 
 31.16  long-term inpatient program exclusively treating sex offenders 
 31.17  and approved by the commissioner of corrections.  If the court 
 31.18  stays the execution of a sentence, it shall include the 
 31.19  following as conditions of probation: 
 31.20     (i) incarceration in a local jail or workhouse; and 
 31.21     (ii) a requirement that the offender successfully complete 
 31.22  the treatment program and aftercare as directed by the court. 
 31.23     (b) If the court sentences a person under this subdivision 
 31.24  and the person is subject to indeterminate sentencing under 
 31.25  section 609.3455, the minimum term of imprisonment shall be 
 31.26  two-thirds of the minimum sentence specified in this 
 31.27  subdivision, plus disciplinary time, unless a longer minimum 
 31.28  term of imprisonment is otherwise required for the offense.  The 
 31.29  maximum term of imprisonment is life.  
 31.30     Subd. 3.  [MANDATORY LIFE SENTENCE.] (a) The court shall 
 31.31  sentence a person to imprisonment for life if: 
 31.32     (1) the person is convicted under section 609.342; and 
 31.33     (2) the court determines on the record at the time of 
 31.34  sentencing that any of the following circumstances exists: 
 31.35     (i) the person has previously been sentenced under section 
 31.36  609.1095; 
 32.1      (ii) the person has one previous sex offense conviction for 
 32.2   a violation of section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344 that 
 32.3   occurred before August 1, 1989, for which the person was 
 32.4   sentenced to prison in an upward durational departure from the 
 32.5   Sentencing Guidelines that resulted in a sentence at least twice 
 32.6   as long as the presumptive sentence; or 
 32.7      (iii) the person has two previous sex offense convictions 
 32.8   under section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344. 
 32.9      (b) Notwithstanding subdivision 2 and section 609.342, 
 32.10  subdivision 3, the court may not stay imposition of the sentence 
 32.11  required by this subdivision. 
 32.12     Subd. 4.  [MANDATORY MINIMUM 30-YEAR SENTENCE.] (a) The 
 32.13  court shall commit a person to the commissioner of corrections 
 32.14  for a minimum sentence of not less than 30 years if: 
 32.15     (1) the person is convicted under section 609.342, 
 32.16  subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f), or 609.343, 
 32.17  subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); and 
 32.18     (2) the court determines on the record at the time of 
 32.19  sentencing that: 
 32.20     (i) the crime involved an aggravating factor that would 
 32.21  provide grounds for an upward departure under the Sentencing 
 32.22  Guidelines other than the aggravating factor applicable to 
 32.23  repeat criminal sexual conduct convictions; and 
 32.24     (ii) the person has a previous sex offense conviction under 
 32.25  section 609.342, 609.343, or 609.344. 
 32.26     (b) Notwithstanding subdivision 2 and sections 609.342, 
 32.27  subdivision 3, or 609.343, subdivision 3, the court may not stay 
 32.28  imposition or execution of the sentence required by this 
 32.29  subdivision. 
 32.30     (c) If the court sentences a person under this subdivision 
 32.31  and the person is subject to indeterminate sentencing under 
 32.32  section 609.3455, the minimum term of imprisonment shall be 
 32.33  two-thirds of the minimum sentence specified in this 
 32.34  subdivision, plus disciplinary time, unless a longer minimum 
 32.35  term of imprisonment is otherwise required for the offense.  The 
 32.36  maximum term of imprisonment is life.  
 33.1      Subd. 5.  [PREVIOUS SEX OFFENSE CONVICTIONS.] For the 
 33.2   purposes of this section, a conviction is considered a previous 
 33.3   sex offense conviction if the person was convicted of a sex 
 33.4   offense before the commission of the present offense of 
 33.5   conviction.  A person has two previous sex offense convictions 
 33.6   only if the person was convicted and sentenced for a sex offense 
 33.7   committed after the person was earlier convicted and sentenced 
 33.8   for a sex offense, and both convictions preceded the commission 
 33.9   of the present offense of conviction.  A "sex offense" is a 
 33.10  violation of sections 609.342 to 609.345 or any similar statute 
 33.11  of the United States, this state, or any other state. 
 33.12     Subd. 6.  [MANDATORY MINIMUM DEPARTURE FOR SEX OFFENDERS.] 
 33.13  (a) The court shall sentence a person to at least twice the 
 33.14  presumptive sentence recommended by the Sentencing Guidelines if:
 33.15     (1) the person is convicted under section 609.342, 
 33.16  subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f), 609.343, 
 33.17  subdivision 1, clause (c), (d), (e), or (f); or 609.344, 
 33.18  subdivision 1, clause (c) or (d); and 
 33.19     (2) the court determines on the record at the time of 
 33.20  sentencing that the crime involved an aggravating factor that 
 33.21  would provide grounds for an upward departure under the 
 33.22  Sentencing Guidelines. 
 33.23     (b) If the court sentences a person under this subdivision 
 33.24  and the person is subject to indeterminate sentencing under 
 33.25  section 609.3455, the minimum term of imprisonment shall be 
 33.26  two-thirds of the minimum sentence specified in this 
 33.27  subdivision, plus disciplinary time, unless a longer minimum 
 33.28  term of imprisonment is otherwise required for the offense.  The 
 33.29  maximum term of imprisonment is life.

 33.33  OFFENDERS.] 
 33.34     Subdivision 1.  [APPLICABILITY.] This section applies to a 
 33.35  person who commits a sex offense. 
 33.36     Subd. 2.  [LENGTH OF CONDITIONAL RELEASE SENTENCE.] (a) 
 34.1   Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence otherwise 
 34.2   applicable to the offense or any provision of the Sentencing 
 34.3   Guidelines, when a court sentences a person to the custody of 
 34.4   the commissioner of corrections for a violation or attempted 
 34.5   violation of section 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, 609.345, or 
 34.6   609.3453, the court shall provide that, upon the person's 
 34.7   release from a state correctional facility, the commissioner of 
 34.8   corrections shall place the person on conditional release. 
 34.9      (b) If the person was convicted for a violation or 
 34.10  attempted violation of section 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345 and 
 34.11  was not sentenced under section 609.3455, the person shall be 
 34.12  placed on conditional release for five years, minus the time the 
 34.13  person served on supervised release. 
 34.14     (c) If the person was convicted for a violation or 
 34.15  attempted violation of section 609.343, 609.344, or 609.345 
 34.16  after a previous sex offense conviction as defined in section 
 34.17  609.3458, subdivision 5, or was sentenced to a mandatory 
 34.18  departure under section 609.3458, subdivision 6, the person 
 34.19  shall be placed on conditional release for ten years, minus the 
 34.20  time the person served on supervised release, unless the person 
 34.21  was sentenced under section 609.3455. 
 34.22     (d) If the person was convicted for a sex offense and 
 34.23  sentenced under section 609.3455, the person shall be subject to 
 34.24  an indeterminate sentence and, if released from a correctional 
 34.25  facility under sections 244.0514 and 244.0515, the person shall 
 34.26  be placed on conditional release for the remainder of the 
 34.27  person's life. 
 34.28     Subd. 3.  [TERMS OF CONDITIONAL RELEASE.] (a) The 
 34.29  conditions of release may include successful completion of 
 34.30  treatment and aftercare in a program approved by the 
 34.31  commissioner, satisfaction of the release conditions specified 
 34.32  in section 244.05, subdivision 6, and any other conditions the 
 34.33  commissioner considers appropriate.  Before the offender is 
 34.34  released, the commissioner shall notify the sentencing court, 
 34.35  the prosecutor in the jurisdiction where the offender was 
 34.36  sentenced, and the victim of the offender's crime, whenever 
 35.1   possible, of the terms of the offender's conditional release.  
 35.2   If the offender fails to meet any condition of release, the 
 35.3   commissioner may revoke the offender's conditional release and 
 35.4   order that the offender serve the remaining portion of the 
 35.5   conditional release term in prison.  For offenders subject to a 
 35.6   five- or ten-year conditional release period, the commissioner 
 35.7   shall not dismiss the offender from supervision before the 
 35.8   conditional release term expires.  For offenders subject to 
 35.9   conditional release for life, the commissioner shall not dismiss 
 35.10  the offender from supervision.  
 35.11     (b) Conditional release under this section is governed by 
 35.12  provisions relating to supervised release, except as otherwise 
 35.13  provided in this section or section 244.04, subdivision 1, or 
 35.14  244.05.  Conditional release under this section also is governed 
 35.15  by section 244.0514.  
 35.16     (c) The commissioner shall develop a plan to pay the cost 
 35.17  of treatment of a person released under this subdivision.  The 
 35.18  plan may include various means of paying for this treatment, 
 35.19  including co-payments from offenders, payment or reimbursement 
 35.20  from third parties, payments from local agencies, and funding 
 35.21  from other sources, as these sources are identified.  This 
 35.22  section does not require the commissioner to accept or retain an 
 35.23  offender in a treatment program.

 39.8   paragraph may not be disclosed outside the board, except as 
 39.9   provided under section 13.05, subdivision 3 or 4.  The inmate 
 39.10  has access to data on the inmate collected and maintained by the 
 39.11  board, unless the data are confidential data received under this 
 39.12  paragraph. 
 39.13     (d) The board must make a decision regarding whether or not 
 39.14  to grant conditional release within 14 days of the hearing.  If 
 39.15  the board decides not to grant conditional release to an inmate, 
 39.16  the board must specify in writing the reasons for its decision. 
 39.17  The board may identify in writing conditions the offender must 
 39.18  meet in order to file a petition with the board for release.

 39.23  at the inmate's first hearing before the board, the commissioner 
 39.24  of corrections must release the individual at the time the 
 39.25  inmate is first eligible for release.  If the board subsequently 
 39.26  grants conditional release to the inmate, the commissioner of 
 39.27  corrections must release the individual 90 days from the date of 
 39.28  the board's decision.  If the inmate's scheduled release date 
 39.29  falls on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the inmate's 
 39.30  conditional release term shall begin as specified in section

 39.36  petition the board for release until two years have passed since 
 40.1   the board last issued a written decision denying release to the 
 40.2   inmate, or until the inmate satisfies all conditions set by the 
 40.3   board when it previously denied release, whichever is later.  
 40.4      (c) An inmate who is released by the board and is 
 40.5   subsequently reincarcerated under section 244.05, subdivision 3, 
 40.6   for a violation of the conditions of the offender's release, may 
 40.7   not petition for release until two years have passed since the 
 40.8   offender was first reincarcerated, unless the commissioner, upon 
 40.9   revoking the person's release, specifies in writing that the 
 40.10  offender may petition the board for release before that time. 
 40.11     (d) An inmate may petition the board at an earlier time 
 40.12  than allowed under paragraph (b) or (c) if the board authorizes 
 40.13  an earlier petition under subdivision 5. 
 40.14     Subd. 7.  [RELEASE HEARING.] (a) Within 45 days of the time 
 40.15  the board first considers an inmate's eligibility for release, 
 40.16  or within 45 days of the time the inmate files a petition for 
 40.17  release, the commissioner of corrections shall give written 
 40.18  notice of the time and place of the hearing before the board to 
 40.19  all interested parties, including the petitioner, the sentencing 
 40.20  court, the county attorney's office involved in prosecuting the 
 40.21  case, and the victim. 
 40.22     (b) The victim has a right to submit an oral or written 
 40.23  statement to the board at the hearing.  The statement may 
 40.24  summarize the harm suffered by the victim as a result of the 
 40.25  crime and give the victim's recommendation on whether the inmate 
 40.26  should be given conditional release.  The board must consider 
 40.27  the victim's statement when making the conditional release 
 40.28  decision. 
 40.29     (c) The hearing must be held on the record.  Upon approval 
 40.30  of the board, the petitioner may subpoena witnesses to appear at 
 40.31  the hearing. 
 40.32     Subd. 8.  [ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.] The commissioner of 
 40.33  corrections shall provide adequate office space and 
 40.34  administrative services for the board.  The board may utilize 
 40.35  the services, equipment, personnel, information, and resources 
 40.36  of other state agencies with their consent.  The board may 
 41.1   accept voluntary and uncompensated services; contract with 
 41.2   individuals and public and private agencies; and request 
 41.3   information, reports, and data from any agency of the state, or

 41.7   an administrator who shall perform the duties the board directs, 
 41.8   including the hiring of any clerical help and other employees as 
 41.9   the board may approve.  The administrator and other staff shall 
 41.10  be in the unclassified service of the state and their 
 41.11  compensation shall be established pursuant to chapter 43A.  They 
 41.12  shall be reimbursed for the expenses necessarily incurred in the 
 41.13  performance of their official duties in the same manner as other 
 41.14  state employees. 
 41.15     Subd. 10.  [EXEMPTION FROM CHAPTER 14.] (a) For the

 53.15  amended to read: 
 53.16     609.347 [EVIDENCE IN CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT CASES.] 
 53.17     Subdivision 1.  [VICTIM TESTIMONY; CORROBORATION 
 53.18  UNNECESSARY.] In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 609.342 
 53.19  to 609.3451, or 609.3453, the testimony of a victim need not be 
 53.20  corroborated. 
 53.21     Subd. 2.  [SHOWING OF RESISTANCE UNNECESSARY.] In a 
 53.22  prosecution under sections 609.109 or 609.342 to 609.3451, or 
 53.23  609.3453, there is no need to show that the victim resisted the 
 53.24  accused.  
 53.25     Subd. 3.  [PREVIOUS SEXUAL CONDUCT.] In a prosecution under 
 53.26  sections 609.109, 609.342 to 609.3451, 609.3453, or 609.365, 
 53.27  evidence of the victim's previous sexual conduct shall not be 
 53.28  admitted nor shall any reference to such conduct be made in the 
 53.29  presence of the jury, except by court order under the procedure 
 53.30  provided in subdivision 4.  The evidence can be admitted only if 
 53.31  the probative value of the evidence is not substantially 
 53.32  outweighed by its inflammatory or prejudicial nature and only in 
 53.33  the circumstances set out in paragraphs (a) and (b).  For the 
 53.34  evidence to be admissible under paragraph (a), subsection (i), 
 53.35  the judge must find by a preponderance of the evidence that the 
 53.36  facts set out in the accused's offer of proof are true.  For the 
 54.1   evidence to be admissible under paragraph (a), subsection (ii) 
 54.2   or paragraph (b), the judge must find that the evidence is 
 54.3   sufficient to support a finding that the facts set out in the 
 54.4   accused's offer of proof are true, as provided under Rule 901 of 
 54.5   the Rules of Evidence. 
 54.6      (a) When consent of the victim is a defense in the case, 
 54.7   the following evidence is admissible: 
 54.8      (i) evidence of the victim's previous sexual conduct 
 54.9   tending to establish a common scheme or plan of similar sexual 
 54.10  conduct under circumstances similar to the case at issue.  In 
 54.11  order to find a common scheme or plan, the judge must find that 
 54.12  the victim made prior allegations of sexual assault which were 
 54.13  fabricated; and 
 54.14     (ii) evidence of the victim's previous sexual conduct with 
 54.15  the accused.  
 54.16     (b) When the prosecution's case includes evidence of semen, 
 54.17  pregnancy, or disease at the time of the incident or, in the 
 54.18  case of pregnancy, between the time of the incident and trial, 
 54.19  evidence of specific instances of the victim's previous sexual 
 54.20  conduct is admissible solely to show the source of the semen, 
 54.21  pregnancy, or disease. 
 54.22     Subd. 4.  [ACCUSED OFFER OF EVIDENCE.] The accused may not 
 54.23  offer evidence described in subdivision 3 except pursuant to the 
 54.24  following procedure: 
 54.25     (a) A motion shall be made by the accused at least three 
 54.26  business days prior to trial, unless later for good cause shown, 
 54.27  setting out with particularity the offer of proof of the 
 54.28  evidence that the accused intends to offer, relative to the 
 54.29  previous sexual conduct of the victim; 
 54.30     (b) If the court deems the offer of proof sufficient, the 
 54.31  court shall order a hearing out of the presence of the jury, if 
 54.32  any, and in such hearing shall allow the accused to make a full 
 54.33  presentation of the offer of proof; 
 54.34     (c) At the conclusion of the hearing, if the court finds 
 54.35  that the evidence proposed to be offered by the accused 
 54.36  regarding the previous sexual conduct of the victim is 
 55.1   admissible under subdivision 3 and that its probative value is 
 55.2   not substantially outweighed by its inflammatory or prejudicial 
 55.3   nature, the court shall make an order stating the extent to 
 55.4   which evidence is admissible.  The accused may then offer 
 55.5   evidence pursuant to the order of the court; 
 55.6      (d) If new information is discovered after the date of the 
 55.7   hearing or during the course of trial, which may make evidence 
 55.8   described in subdivision 3 admissible, the accused may make an 
 55.9   offer of proof pursuant to clause (a) and the court shall order 
 55.10  an in camera hearing to determine whether the proposed evidence 
 55.11  is admissible by the standards herein.  
 55.12     Subd. 5.  [PROHIBITING INSTRUCTING JURY ON CERTAIN POINTS.] 
 55.13  In a prosecution under sections 609.109 or 609.342 to 
 55.14  609.3451, or 609.3453, the court shall not instruct the jury to 
 55.15  the effect that: 
 55.16     (a) It may be inferred that a victim who has previously 
 55.17  consented to sexual intercourse with persons other than the 
 55.18  accused would be therefore more likely to consent to sexual 
 55.19  intercourse again; or 
 55.20     (b) The victim's previous or subsequent sexual conduct in 
 55.21  and of itself may be considered in determining the credibility 
 55.22  of the victim; or 
 55.23     (c) Criminal sexual conduct is a crime easily charged by a 
 55.24  victim but very difficult to disprove by an accused because of 
 55.25  the heinous nature of the crime; or 
 55.26     (d) The jury should scrutinize the testimony of the victim 
 55.27  any more closely than it should scrutinize the testimony of any 
 55.28  witness in any felony prosecution.  
 55.29     Subd. 6.  [PSYCHOTHERAPY EVIDENCE.] (a) In a prosecution 
 55.30  under sections 609.109 or 609.342 to 609.3451, or 609.3453, 
 55.31  involving a psychotherapist and patient, evidence of the 
 55.32  patient's personal or medical history is not admissible except 
 55.33  when:  
 55.34     (1) the accused requests a hearing at least three business 
 55.35  days prior to trial and makes an offer of proof of the relevancy 
 55.36  of the history; and 
 56.1      (2) the court finds that the history is relevant and that 
 56.2   the probative value of the history outweighs its prejudicial 
 56.3   value.  
 56.4      (b) The court shall allow the admission only of specific 
 56.5   information or examples of conduct of the victim that are 
 56.6   determined by the court to be relevant.  The court's order shall 
 56.7   detail the information or conduct that is admissible and no 
 56.8   other evidence of the history may be introduced. 
 56.9      (c) Violation of the terms of the order is grounds for 
 56.10  mistrial but does not prevent the retrial of the accused.  
 56.11     Subd. 7.  [EFFECT OF STATUTE ON RULES.] Rule 412 of the
