  1.8   HEALTH; EXPANDED PROJECTS.]

  1.11  Laws 1993, chapter 326, article 12, section 16, and Laws 1994, 
  1.12  chapter 636, article 9, section 12, must continue to provide 
  1.13  intervention services for children who are exhibiting sexually 
  1.14  aggressive behavior, ages 8 to 10, who do not currently receive 
  1.15  any treatment because they are too young to be considered 
  1.16  competent to stand trial and who often do not get services from 
  1.17  child protection because they are not responsible for the care 
  1.18  and feeding of their victims.  One pilot project must develop 
  1.19  and implement an earlier intervention strategies program for 
  1.20  younger children identified as high risk to become sex offenders 
  1.21  who reside in Ramsey county.  The second pilot project must 
  1.22  develop and implement an earlier intervention strategies program 
  1.23  for younger children identified as high risk to become sex 
  1.24  offenders who reside in a greater Minnesota urban center.  The 
  1.25  third pilot project must develop and implement an earlier 
  2.1   intervention strategies program for younger children identified 
  2.2   as high risk to become sex offenders who reside in communities 
  2.3   where the population base is too small to support an 
  2.4   intervention program.
