2.8 	may bring an action in district court to compel compliance with this chapter and may 
2.9 	recover costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by

2.11 	and without merit and a basis in fact, it may award reasonable costs and attorney fees to 
2.12 	the responsible authority. If the court issues an order to compel compliance under this 
2.13 	subdivision, the court may impose a civil penalty of up to $1,000 against the government

2.15 	under subdivision 1. The matter shall be heard as soon as possible. In an action involving 
2.16 	a request for government data under section 13.03 or 13.04, the court may inspect in 
2.17 	camera the government data in dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in public and in a 
2.18 	manner that protects the security of data classified as not public. If the court issues an 
2.19 	order to compel compliance under this subdivision, the court shall forward a copy of the 
2.20 	order to the commissioner of administration.
2.21 	(b) In determining whether to assess a civil penalty under this subdivision, the court 
2.22 	or other tribunal shall consider whether the government entity has substantially complied 
2.23 	with general data practices under this chapter, including but not limited to, whether the 
2.24 	government entity has:
2.25 	(1) designated a responsible authority under section 13.02, subdivision 16;
2.26 	(2) designated a data practices compliance official under section 13.05, subdivision

2.29 	and describes the records and data on individuals that are maintained by the government 
2.30 	entity under section 13.05 13.025, subdivision 1;
2.31 	(4) developed public access procedures under section 13.03, subdivision 2; 
2.32 	procedures to guarantee the rights of data subjects under section 13.05, subdivision 8; and 
2.33 	procedures to ensure that data on individuals are accurate and complete and to safeguard 
2.34 	the data's security under section 13.05, subdivision 5;
3.1 	(5) acted in conformity with an opinion issued under section 13.072 that was sought 
3.2 	by a government entity or another person; or
3.3 	(6) provided ongoing training to government entity personnel who respond to 
3.4 	requests under this chapter.
3.5 	(c) The court shall award reasonable attorney fees to a prevailing plaintiff who has 
3.6 	brought an action under this subdivision if the government entity that is the defendant in 
3.7 	the action was also the subject of a written opinion issued under section 13.072 and the 
3.8 	court finds that the opinion is directly related to the cause of action being litigated and that 
3.9 	the government entity did not act in conformity with the opinion.

3.10 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 13.82, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
3.11 		Subd. 5.Domestic abuse data. The written police report required by section

3.13 	1, and arrest data, request for service data, and response or incident data described in 
3.14 	subdivision 2, 3, or 6 that arise out of this type of incident or out of an alleged violation of 
3.15 	an order for protection must be released upon request at no cost to the victim of domestic 
3.16 	abuse, the victim's attorney, or an organization designated by the Minnesota Center for 
3.17 	Crime Victims Services, the Department of Corrections, or the Office of Justice Programs 
3.18 	in the Department of Public Safety as providing services to victims of domestic abuse. 
3.19 	The executive director or the commissioner of the appropriate state agency shall develop

3.26 	necessary personal identifying information of all account holders for the public authority 
3.27 	to compare against its list of child support obligors for the purpose of identifying which 
3.28 	obligors maintain an account at the financial institution; the names of the obligors who 
3.29 	maintain an account at the institution shall then be transmitted to the financial institution 
3.30 	which shall provide the public authority with account information on those obligors; or

3.32 	data to the data maintained at the financial institution to identify which of the identified 
3.33 	obligors maintains an account at the financial institution.
4.1 	A financial institution shall elect either method in writing upon written request of the 
4.2 	public authority, and the election remains in effect unless the public authority agrees in 
4.3 	writing to a change.
4.4 	The commissioner shall keep track of the number of financial institutions that elect 
4.5 	to report under clauses (1) and (2) respectively and shall report this information to the 
4.6 	legislature by December 1, 1999.

4.7 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 13B.06, subdivision 7, is amended to read:

4.9 	authority for providing account information to the public authority. The commissioner 
4.10 	may pay a financial institution up to $150 each quarter if the commissioner and the 
4.11 	financial institution have entered into a signed agreement that complies with federal law. 
4.12 	The commissioner shall develop procedures for the financial institutions to charge and 
4.13 	collect the fee. Payment of the fee is limited by the amount of the appropriation for this 
4.14 	purpose. If the appropriation is insufficient, or if fund availability in the fourth quarter 
4.15 	would allow payments for actual costs in excess of $150, the commissioner shall prorate 
4.16 	the available funds among the financial institutions that have submitted a claim for the 
4.17 	fee. No financial institution shall charge or collect a fee that exceeds its actual costs 
4.18 	of complying with this section. The commissioner, together with an advisory group 
4.19 	consisting of representatives of the financial institutions in the state, shall evaluate whether 
4.20 	the fee paid to financial institutions compensates them for their actual costs, including 
4.21 	start-up costs, of complying with this section and shall submit a report to the legislature by 
4.22 	July 1, 2002, with a recommendation for retaining or modifying the fee.

4.23 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 13B.07, subdivision 7, is amended to read:
4.24 		Subd. 7.Fees. A financial institution may charge and collect a fee from the 
4.25 	commissioner for providing account information to the commissioner. The commissioner 
4.26 	may pay a financial institution up to $150 each quarter. The commissioner shall develop 
4.27 	procedures for the financial institutions to charge and collect the fee. Payment of the fee 
4.28 	is limited by the amount of the appropriation for this purpose. If the appropriation is 
4.29 	insufficient, or if fund availability in the fourth quarter would allow payments for actual 
4.30 	costs in excess of $150, the commissioner shall prorate the available funds among the 
4.31 	financial institutions that have submitted a claim for the fee. No financial institution 
4.32 	shall charge or collect a fee that exceeds its actual costs of complying with this section. 
4.33 	The commissioner, together with an advisory group consisting of representatives of 
4.34 	the financial institutions in the state, shall evaluate whether the fees paid to financial 
5.1 	institutions compensate them for their actual costs, including start-up costs, of complying 
5.2 	with this section, and shall evaluate whether the amount appropriated to the commissioner 
5.3 	for the costs of administering the data match system compensates the commissioner for 
5.4 	the costs incurred by the department. The advisory group shall submit a report to the 
5.5 	legislature by February 1, 2009, with a recommendation for retaining or modifying the fee.

5.6 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 14.57, is amended to read:

5.12 	or order of the administrative law judge constitutes the final decision in the case.
5.13 	(b) As an alternative to initiating or continuing with a contested case proceeding, the 
5.14 	parties, subsequent to agency approval, may enter into a written agreement to submit the 
5.15 	issues raised to arbitration by an administrative law judge according to sections 572.08

5.19 	Any person aggrieved by a final decision in a contested case is entitled to judicial

7.19 	than the amounts specified in section 297E.021, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause 
7.20 	(1), items (i) to (iii), for that fiscal year, the commissioner may implement the revenue

7.34 	are not needed for a subsequent fiscal year, the commissioner must terminate them in the 
8.1 	reverse order they were required to be implemented by paragraph (a) with the last option 
8.2 	implemented terminated first and so forth.

8.4 	commissioner must report the intent to do so to the Legislative Commission on Planning 
8.5 	and Fiscal Policy. The commissioner must inform the commission of determinations to 
8.6 	continue or discontinue each revenue source for a subsequent fiscal year.

8.11 	the state and the authority.

19.16 	in this subdivision, all investments and expenses of a public utility as defined in 
19.17 	section 216B.241, subdivision 1, paragraph (i) (h), incurred in connection with energy 
19.18 	conservation improvements shall be recognized and included by the commission in the 
19.19 	determination of just and reasonable rates as if the investments and expenses were directly 
19.20 	made or incurred by the utility in furnishing utility service.
19.21 	(b) The commission shall not include investments and expenses for energy 
19.22 	conservation improvements in determining (i) just and reasonable electric rates for retail 
19.23 	electric service provided to large customer facilities whose electric utilities have been 
19.24 	exempted by the commissioner under section 216B.241, subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), 
19.25 	with respect to those large customer facilities; or (ii) just and reasonable gas rates for 
19.26 	large energy facilities, large customer facilities whose natural gas utilities have been 
19.27 	exempted by the commissioner under section 216B.241, subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), or 
19.28 	commercial gas customer facilities whose natural gas utilities have been exempted by the

19.33 	to reflect the requirements of section 216B.241. The commission shall allow a public 
19.34 	utility, without requiring a general rate filing under this section, to reduce the electric rates 
20.1 	applicable to large customer facilities that have been exempted by the commissioner under 
20.2 	section 216B.241, subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), and to reduce the gas rate applicable to a 
20.3 	large energy facility, a large customer facility or commercial customer facility that has 
20.4 	been exempted by the commissioner under section 216B.241, subdivision 1a, paragraph 
20.5 	(b) or (c), or by the commission under section 216B.241, subdivision 2, by an amount that 
20.6 	reflects the elimination of energy conservation improvement investments or expenditures 
20.7 	for those facilities. In the event that the commission has set electric or gas rates based on 
20.8 	the use of an accounting methodology that results in the cost of conservation improvements 
20.9 	being recovered from utility customers over a period of years, the rate reduction may 
20.10 	occur in a series of steps to coincide with the recovery of balances due to the utility for 
20.11 	conservation improvements made by the utility on or before December 31, 2007.
20.12 	(d) Investments and expenses of a public utility shall not include electric utility

20.20 	subdivision, the governing body of a municipal electric utility means the city council of that

20.23 	distribution of electric energy within the service area of the city, that board, commission, 
20.24 	or body shall be considered the governing body of the municipal electric utility.

22.13 	Sec. 44. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 252.27, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:
22.14 		Subd. 2a.Contribution amount. (a) The natural or adoptive parents of a minor 
22.15 	child, including a child determined eligible for medical assistance without consideration of 
22.16 	parental income, must contribute to the cost of services used by making monthly payments 
22.17 	on a sliding scale based on income, unless the child is married or has been married, 
22.18 	parental rights have been terminated, or the child's adoption is subsidized according to 
22.19 	section 259.67 chapter 259A or through title IV-E of the Social Security Act. The parental 
22.20 	contribution is a partial or full payment for medical services provided for diagnostic, 
22.21 	therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, rehabilitation, maintenance, and personal care 
22.22 	services as defined in United States Code, title 26, section 213, needed by the child with a 
22.23 	chronic illness or disability.
22.24 	(b) For households with adjusted gross income equal to or greater than 100 percent 
22.25 	of federal poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be computed by applying the 
22.26 	following schedule of rates to the adjusted gross income of the natural or adoptive parents:
22.27 	(1) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 100 percent of federal 
22.28 	poverty guidelines and less than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
22.29 	contribution is $4 per month;
22.30 	(2) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 175 percent of federal 
22.31 	poverty guidelines and less than or equal to 545 percent of federal poverty guidelines, 
22.32 	the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the 
22.33 	commissioner of human services which begins at one percent of adjusted gross income 
22.34 	at 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to 7.5 percent of adjusted 
23.1 	gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 545 percent of federal poverty 
23.2 	guidelines;
23.3 	(3) if the adjusted gross income is greater than 545 percent of federal poverty 
23.4 	guidelines and less than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
23.5 	contribution shall be 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income;
23.6 	(4) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 675 percent of federal 
23.7 	poverty guidelines and less than 975 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
23.8 	contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner 
23.9 	of human services which begins at 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income at 675 percent of 
23.10 	federal poverty guidelines and increases to ten percent of adjusted gross income for those 
23.11 	with adjusted gross income up to 975 percent of federal poverty guidelines; and
23.12 	(5) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 975 percent of federal 
23.13 	poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 12.5 percent of adjusted gross income.
23.14 	If the child lives with the parent, the annual adjusted gross income is reduced by 
23.15 	$2,400 prior to calculating the parental contribution. If the child resides in an institution 
23.16 	specified in section 256B.35, the parent is responsible for the personal needs allowance 
23.17 	specified under that section in addition to the parental contribution determined under this 
23.18 	section. The parental contribution is reduced by any amount required to be paid directly to 
23.19 	the child pursuant to a court order, but only if actually paid.
23.20 	(c) The household size to be used in determining the amount of contribution under 
23.21 	paragraph (b) includes natural and adoptive parents and their dependents, including the 
23.22 	child receiving services. Adjustments in the contribution amount due to annual changes 
23.23 	in the federal poverty guidelines shall be implemented on the first day of July following 
23.24 	publication of the changes.
23.25 	(d) For purposes of paragraph (b), "income" means the adjusted gross income of the 
23.26 	natural or adoptive parents determined according to the previous year's federal tax form, 
23.27 	except, effective retroactive to July 1, 2003, taxable capital gains to the extent the funds 
23.28 	have been used to purchase a home shall not be counted as income.
23.29 	(e) The contribution shall be explained in writing to the parents at the time eligibility 
23.30 	for services is being determined. The contribution shall be made on a monthly basis 
23.31 	effective with the first month in which the child receives services. Annually upon 
23.32 	redetermination or at termination of eligibility, if the contribution exceeded the cost of 
23.33 	services provided, the local agency or the state shall reimburse that excess amount to 
23.34 	the parents, either by direct reimbursement if the parent is no longer required to pay a 
23.35 	contribution, or by a reduction in or waiver of parental fees until the excess amount is 
23.36 	exhausted. All reimbursements must include a notice that the amount reimbursed may be 
24.1 	taxable income if the parent paid for the parent's fees through an employer's health care 
24.2 	flexible spending account under the Internal Revenue Code, section 125, and that the 
24.3 	parent is responsible for paying the taxes owed on the amount reimbursed.
24.4 	(f) The monthly contribution amount must be reviewed at least every 12 months; 
24.5 	when there is a change in household size; and when there is a loss of or gain in income 
24.6 	from one month to another in excess of ten percent. The local agency shall mail a written 
24.7 	notice 30 days in advance of the effective date of a change in the contribution amount. 
24.8 	A decrease in the contribution amount is effective in the month that the parent verifies a 
24.9 	reduction in income or change in household size.
24.10 	(g) Parents of a minor child who do not live with each other shall each pay the 
24.11 	contribution required under paragraph (a). An amount equal to the annual court-ordered 
24.12 	child support payment actually paid on behalf of the child receiving services shall be 
24.13 	deducted from the adjusted gross income of the parent making the payment prior to 
24.14 	calculating the parental contribution under paragraph (b).
24.15 	(h) The contribution under paragraph (b) shall be increased by an additional five 
24.16 	percent if the local agency determines that insurance coverage is available but not 
24.17 	obtained for the child. For purposes of this section, "available" means the insurance is a 
24.18 	benefit of employment for a family member at an annual cost of no more than five percent 
24.19 	of the family's annual income. For purposes of this section, "insurance" means health 
24.20 	and accident insurance coverage, enrollment in a nonprofit health service plan, health 
24.21 	maintenance organization, self-insured plan, or preferred provider organization.
24.22 	Parents who have more than one child receiving services shall not be required 
24.23 	to pay more than the amount for the child with the highest expenditures. There shall 
24.24 	be no resource contribution from the parents. The parent shall not be required to pay 
24.25 	a contribution in excess of the cost of the services provided to the child, not counting 
24.26 	payments made to school districts for education-related services. Notice of an increase in 
24.27 	fee payment must be given at least 30 days before the increased fee is due.
24.28 	(i) The contribution under paragraph (b) shall be reduced by $300 per fiscal year if, 
24.29 	in the 12 months prior to July 1:
24.30 	(1) the parent applied for insurance for the child;
24.31 	(2) the insurer denied insurance;
24.32 	(3) the parents submitted a complaint or appeal, in writing to the insurer, submitted 
24.33 	a complaint or appeal, in writing, to the commissioner of health or the commissioner of 
24.34 	commerce, or litigated the complaint or appeal; and
24.35 	(4) as a result of the dispute, the insurer reversed its decision and granted insurance.
24.36 	For purposes of this section, "insurance" has the meaning given in paragraph (h).
25.1 	A parent who has requested a reduction in the contribution amount under this 
25.2 	paragraph shall submit proof in the form and manner prescribed by the commissioner or 
25.3 	county agency, including, but not limited to, the insurer's denial of insurance, the written 
25.4 	letter or complaint of the parents, court documents, and the written response of the insurer 
25.5 	approving insurance. The determinations of the commissioner or county agency under this 
25.6 	paragraph are not rules subject to chapter 14.
25.7 	(j) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), for the period from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 
25.8 	2015, the parental contribution shall be computed by applying the following contribution 
25.9 	schedule to the adjusted gross income of the natural or adoptive parents:
25.10 	(1) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 100 percent of federal 
25.11 	poverty guidelines and less than 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
25.12 	contribution is $4 per month;
25.13 	(2) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 175 percent of federal 
25.14 	poverty guidelines and less than or equal to 525 percent of federal poverty guidelines, 
25.15 	the parental contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the 
25.16 	commissioner of human services which begins at one percent of adjusted gross income 
25.17 	at 175 percent of federal poverty guidelines and increases to eight percent of adjusted 
25.18 	gross income for those with adjusted gross income up to 525 percent of federal poverty 
25.19 	guidelines;
25.20 	(3) if the adjusted gross income is greater than 525 percent of federal poverty 
25.21 	guidelines and less than 675 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
25.22 	contribution shall be 9.5 percent of adjusted gross income;
25.23 	(4) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 675 percent of federal 
25.24 	poverty guidelines and less than 900 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the parental 
25.25 	contribution shall be determined using a sliding fee scale established by the commissioner 
25.26 	of human services which begins at 9.5 percent of adjusted gross income at 675 percent of 
25.27 	federal poverty guidelines and increases to 12 percent of adjusted gross income for those 
25.28 	with adjusted gross income up to 900 percent of federal poverty guidelines; and
25.29 	(5) if the adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than 900 percent of federal 
25.30 	poverty guidelines, the parental contribution shall be 13.5 percent of adjusted gross 
25.31 	income. If the child lives with the parent, the annual adjusted gross income is reduced by 
25.32 	$2,400 prior to calculating the parental contribution. If the child resides in an institution 
25.33 	specified in section 256B.35, the parent is responsible for the personal needs allowance 
25.34 	specified under that section in addition to the parental contribution determined under this 
25.35 	section. The parental contribution is reduced by any amount required to be paid directly to 
25.36 	the child pursuant to a court order, but only if actually paid.

26.6 	adoption assistance under section 259.67, subdivision 4, paragraphs (a) to (c) 259A.10, 
26.7 	subdivision 2, and has a special need for medical or rehabilitative care.

26.8 	Sec. 46. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 256B.0595, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
26.9 		Subd. 4.Other exceptions to transfer prohibition. (a) An institutionalized person, 
26.10 	as defined in subdivision 1, paragraph (h), who has made, or whose spouse has made a 
26.11 	transfer prohibited by subdivision 1, is not ineligible for long-term care services if one of 
26.12 	the following conditions applies:
26.13 	(1) the assets were transferred to the individual's spouse or to another for the sole 
26.14 	benefit of the spouse; or
26.15 	(2) the institutionalized spouse, prior to being institutionalized, transferred assets 
26.16 	to a spouse, provided that the spouse to whom the assets were transferred does not then 
26.17 	transfer those assets to another person for less than fair market value. (At the time when 
26.18 	one spouse is institutionalized, assets must be allocated between the spouses as provided 
26.19 	under section 256B.059); or
26.20 	(3) the assets were transferred to the individual's child who is blind or permanently 
26.21 	and totally disabled as determined in the supplemental security income program; or
26.22 	(4) a satisfactory showing is made that the individual intended to dispose of the 
26.23 	assets either at fair market value or for other valuable consideration; or
26.24 	(5) the local agency determines that denial of eligibility for long-term care 
26.25 	services would work an undue hardship and grants a waiver of a period of ineligibility 
26.26 	resulting from a transfer for less than fair market value based on an imminent threat to 
26.27 	the individual's health and well-being. Imminent threat to the individual's health and 
26.28 	well-being means that imposing a period of ineligibility would endanger the individual's 
26.29 	health or life or cause serious deprivation of food, clothing, or shelter. Whenever an 
26.30 	applicant or recipient is denied eligibility because of a transfer for less than fair market 
26.31 	value, the local agency shall notify the applicant or recipient that the applicant or recipient 
26.32 	may request a waiver of the period of ineligibility if the denial of eligibility will cause 
26.33 	undue hardship. With the written consent of the individual or the personal representative 
26.34 	of the individual, a long-term care facility in which an individual is residing may file an 
26.35 	undue hardship waiver request, on behalf of the individual who is denied eligibility for 
27.1 	long-term care services on or after July 1, 2006, due to a period of ineligibility resulting 
27.2 	from a transfer on or after February 8, 2006.; or
27.3 	(6) for transfers occurring after August 10, 1993, the assets were transferred by the 
27.4 	person or the person's spouse: (i) into a trust established for the sole benefit of a son or 
27.5 	daughter of any age who is blind or disabled as defined by the Supplemental Security 
27.6 	Income program; or (ii) into a trust established for the sole benefit of an individual 
27.7 	who is under 65 years of age who is disabled as defined by the Supplemental Security 
27.8 	Income program. "For the sole benefit of" has the meaning found in section 256B.059, 
27.9 	subdivision 1.
27.10 	(b) Subject to paragraph (c), when evaluating a hardship waiver, the local agency 
27.11 	shall take into account whether the individual was the victim of financial exploitation, 
27.12 	whether the individual has made reasonable efforts to recover the transferred property or 
27.13 	resource, whether the individual has taken any action to prevent the designation of the 
27.14 	department as a remainder beneficiary on an annuity as described in section 256B.056, 
27.15 	subdivision 11, and other factors relevant to a determination of hardship.
27.16 	(c) In the case of an imminent threat to the individual's health and well-being, the 
27.17 	local agency shall approve a hardship waiver of the portion of an individual's period of 
27.18 	ineligibility resulting from a transfer of assets for less than fair market value by or to 
27.19 	a person:
27.20 	(1) convicted of financial exploitation, fraud, or theft upon the individual for the 
27.21 	transfer of assets; or
27.22 	(2) against whom a report of financial exploitation upon the individual has been 
27.23 	substantiated. For purposes of this paragraph, "financial exploitation" and "substantiated" 
27.24 	have the meanings given in section 626.5572.
27.25 	(d) The local agency shall make a determination within 30 days of the receipt of all 
27.26 	necessary information needed to make such a determination. If the local agency does not 
27.27 	approve a hardship waiver, the local agency shall issue a written notice to the individual 
27.28 	stating the reasons for the denial and the process for appealing the local agency's decision. 
27.29 	When a waiver is granted, a cause of action exists against the person to whom the assets 
27.30 	were transferred for that portion of long-term care services provided within:
27.31 	(1) 30 months of a transfer made on or before August 10, 1993;
27.32 	(2) 60 months of a transfer if the assets were transferred after August 30, 1993, to a 
27.33 	trust or portion of a trust that is considered a transfer of assets under federal law;
27.34 	(3) 36 months of a transfer if transferred in any other manner after August 10, 1993, 
27.35 	but prior to February 8, 2006; or
27.36 	(4) 60 months of any transfer made on or after February 8, 2006,
28.1 	or the amount of the uncompensated transfer, whichever is less, together with the costs 
28.2 	incurred due to the action; or.
28.3 	(5) for transfers occurring after August 10, 1993, the assets were transferred by the 
28.4 	person or person's spouse: (i) into a trust established for the sole benefit of a son or daughter 
28.5 	of any age who is blind or disabled as defined by the Supplemental Security Income 
28.6 	program; or (ii) into a trust established for the sole benefit of an individual who is under 
28.7 	65 years of age who is disabled as defined by the Supplemental Security Income program.
28.8 	"For the sole benefit of" has the meaning found in section 256B.059, subdivision 1.

28.9 	Sec. 47. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 256J.21, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
28.10 		Subd. 2.Income exclusions. The following must be excluded in determining a

33.5 	"Minnesota Statutes, section 259.59, provides that upon legally adopting a

33.7 	responsibilities include providing for the child's financial support and caring for health, 
33.8 	emotional, and behavioral problems. Except for subsidized adoptions under Minnesota 
33.9 	Statutes, section 259.67 chapter 259A, or any other provisions of law that expressly apply 
33.10 	to adoptive parents and children, adoptive parents are not eligible for state or federal 
33.11 	financial subsidies besides those that a birth parent would be eligible to receive for a child. 
33.12 	Adoptive parents may not terminate their parental rights to a legally adopted child for a 
33.13 	reason that would not apply to a birth parent seeking to terminate rights to a child. An 
33.14 	individual who takes guardianship of a child for the purpose of adopting the child shall, 
33.15 	upon taking guardianship from the child's country of origin, assume all the rights and 
33.16 	responsibilities of birth and adoptive parents as stated in this paragraph."

33.17 	Sec. 53. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 259.85, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

33.19 	supervise a postadoption service grants program to be administered by local social service

33.21 	will provide financial assistance to adoptive parents who are not receiving adoption 
33.22 	assistance under section 259.67 chapter 259A to meet the special needs of an adopted 
33.23 	child that cannot be met by other resources available to the family.

33.24 	Sec. 54. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.007, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
33.25 		Subd. 6.Child in need of protection or services. "Child in need of protection or 
33.26 	services" means a child who is in need of protection or services because the child:
33.27 	(1) is abandoned or without parent, guardian, or custodian;
33.28 	(2)(i) has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse as defined in section 626.556, 
33.29 	subdivision 2, (ii) resides with or has resided with a victim of child abuse as defined in 
33.30 	subdivision 5 or domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13, (iii) resides with or 
33.31 	would reside with a perpetrator of domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13 or 
33.32 	child abuse as defined in subdivision 5 or 13, or (iv) is a victim of emotional maltreatment 
33.33 	as defined in subdivision 15;
34.1 	(3) is without necessary food, clothing, shelter, education, or other required care 
34.2 	for the child's physical or mental health or morals because the child's parent, guardian, 
34.3 	or custodian is unable or unwilling to provide that care;
34.4 	(4) is without the special care made necessary by a physical, mental, or emotional 
34.5 	condition because the child's parent, guardian, or custodian is unable or unwilling to 
34.6 	provide that care;
34.7 	(5) is medically neglected, which includes, but is not limited to, the withholding of 
34.8 	medically indicated treatment from a disabled infant with a life-threatening condition. The 
34.9 	term "withholding of medically indicated treatment" means the failure to respond to the 
34.10 	infant's life-threatening conditions by providing treatment, including appropriate nutrition, 
34.11 	hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or physicians' reasonable 
34.12 	medical judgment, will be most likely to be effective in ameliorating or correcting all 
34.13 	conditions, except that the term does not include the failure to provide treatment other 
34.14 	than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant when, in the treating 
34.15 	physician's or physicians' reasonable medical judgment:
34.16 	(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;
34.17 	(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in 
34.18 	ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be 
34.19 	futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or
34.20 	(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival 
34.21 	of the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;
34.22 	(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be 
34.23 	relieved of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a

35.9 	transferred to a relative and there is a case plan prepared by the responsible social services 
35.10 	agency documenting a compelling reason why filing the termination of parental rights

35.12 	interests of the child; or

35.14 	Sec. 55. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.007, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
35.15 		Subd. 8.Compelling reasons. "Compelling reasons" means an individualized 
35.16 	determination by the responsible social services agency, which is approved by the court, 
35.17 	related to a request by the agency not to initiate proceedings to terminate parental rights or 
35.18 	transfer permanent legal and physical custody of a child to the child's relative or former 
35.19 	noncustodial parent under section 260C.301, subdivision 3 260C.503, subdivision 2.

35.20 	Sec. 56. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.178, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
35.21 		Subdivision 1.Hearing and release requirements. (a) If a child was taken into 
35.22 	custody under section 260C.175, subdivision 1, clause (1) or (2), item (ii), the court shall 
35.23 	hold a hearing within 72 hours of the time the child was taken into custody, excluding 
35.24 	Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, to determine whether the child should continue in 
35.25 	custody.
35.26 	(b) Unless there is reason to believe that the child would endanger self or others or 
35.27 	not return for a court hearing, or that the child's health or welfare would be immediately 
35.28 	endangered, the child shall be released to the custody of a parent, guardian, custodian, 
35.29 	or other suitable person, subject to reasonable conditions of release including, but not 
35.30 	limited to, a requirement that the child undergo a chemical use assessment as provided in 
35.31 	section 260C.157, subdivision 1.
35.32 	(c) If the court determines there is reason to believe that the child would endanger 
35.33 	self or others or not return for a court hearing, or that the child's health or welfare would 
35.34 	be immediately endangered if returned to the care of the parent or guardian who has 
36.1 	custody and from whom the child was removed, the court shall order the child into 
36.2 	foster care under the legal responsibility of the responsible social services agency or 
36.3 	responsible probation or corrections agency for the purposes of protective care as that term 
36.4 	is used in the juvenile court rules or into the home of a noncustodial parent and order the 
36.5 	noncustodial parent to comply with any conditions the court determines to be appropriate 
36.6 	to the safety and care of the child, including cooperating with paternity establishment 
36.7 	proceedings in the case of a man who has not been adjudicated the child's father. The 
36.8 	court shall not give the responsible social services legal custody and order a trial home 
36.9 	visit at any time prior to adjudication and disposition under section 260C.201, subdivision 
36.10 	1, paragraph (a), clause (3), but may order the child returned to the care of the parent or 
36.11 	guardian who has custody and from whom the child was removed and order the parent or 
36.12 	guardian to comply with any conditions the court determines to be appropriate to meet 
36.13 	the safety, health, and welfare of the child.
36.14 	(d) In determining whether the child's health or welfare would be immediately 
36.15 	endangered, the court shall consider whether the child would reside with a perpetrator 
36.16 	of domestic child abuse.
36.17 	(e) The court, before determining whether a child should be placed in or continue 
36.18 	in foster care under the protective care of the responsible agency, shall also make a 
36.19 	determination, consistent with section 260.012 as to whether reasonable efforts were made 
36.20 	to prevent placement or whether reasonable efforts to prevent placement are not required. 
36.21 	In the case of an Indian child, the court shall determine whether active efforts, according 
36.22 	to the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, United States Code, title 25, section 1912(d), 
36.23 	were made to prevent placement. The court shall enter a finding that the responsible 
36.24 	social services agency has made reasonable efforts to prevent placement when the agency 
36.25 	establishes either:
36.26 	(1) that it has actually provided services or made efforts in an attempt to prevent 
36.27 	the child's removal but that such services or efforts have not proven sufficient to permit 
36.28 	the child to safely remain in the home; or
36.29 	(2) that there are no services or other efforts that could be made at the time of the 
36.30 	hearing that could safely permit the child to remain home or to return home. When 
36.31 	reasonable efforts to prevent placement are required and there are services or other efforts 
36.32 	that could be ordered which would permit the child to safely return home, the court shall 
36.33 	order the child returned to the care of the parent or guardian and the services or efforts put 
36.34 	in place to ensure the child's safety. When the court makes a prima facie determination 
36.35 	that one of the circumstances under paragraph (g) exists, the court shall determine that 
37.1 	reasonable efforts to prevent placement and to return the child to the care of the parent or 
37.2 	guardian are not required.
37.3 	If the court finds the social services agency's preventive or reunification efforts 
37.4 	have not been reasonable but further preventive or reunification efforts could not permit 
37.5 	the child to safely remain at home, the court may nevertheless authorize or continue 
37.6 	the removal of the child.
37.7 	(f) The court may not order or continue the foster care placement of the child unless 
37.8 	the court makes explicit, individualized findings that continued custody of the child by 
37.9 	the parent or guardian would be contrary to the welfare of the child and that placement is 
37.10 	in the best interest of the child.
37.11 	(g) At the emergency removal hearing, or at any time during the course of the 
37.12 	proceeding, and upon notice and request of the county attorney, the court shall determine 
37.13 	whether a petition has been filed stating a prima facie case that:
37.14 	(1) the parent has subjected a child to egregious harm as defined in section 
37.15 	260C.007, subdivision 14;
37.16 	(2) the parental rights of the parent to another child have been involuntarily 
37.17 	terminated;
37.18 	(3) the child is an abandoned infant under section 260C.301, subdivision 2, 
37.19 	paragraph (a), clause (2);
37.20 	(4) the parents' custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred 
37.21 	to a relative under Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 260C.201, subdivision 11, paragraph 
37.22 	(e), clause (1); section 260C.515, subdivision 4; or a similar law of another jurisdiction;
37.23 	(5) the parent has committed sexual abuse as defined in section 626.556, subdivision 
37.24 	2, against the child or another child of the parent;
37.25 	(6) the parent has committed an offense that requires registration as a predatory 
37.26 	offender under section 243.166, subdivision 1b, paragraph (a) or (b); or
37.27 	(7) the provision of services or further services for the purpose of reunification is 
37.28 	futile and therefore unreasonable.
37.29 	(h) When a petition to terminate parental rights is required under section 260C.301, 
37.30 	subdivision 3 or 4, or 260C.503, subdivision 2, but the county attorney has determined not 
37.31 	to proceed with a termination of parental rights petition, and has instead filed a petition to 
37.32 	transfer permanent legal and physical custody to a relative under section 260C.507, the 
37.33 	court shall schedule a permanency hearing within 30 days of the filing of the petition.
37.34 	(i) If the county attorney has filed a petition under section 260C.307, the court shall 
37.35 	schedule a trial under section 260C.163 within 90 days of the filing of the petition except 
38.1 	when the county attorney determines that the criminal case shall proceed to trial first under 
38.2 	section 260C.503, subdivision 2, paragraph (c).
38.3 	(j) If the court determines the child should be ordered into foster care and the child's 
38.4 	parent refuses to give information to the responsible social services agency regarding 
38.5 	the child's father or relatives of the child, the court may order the parent to disclose the 
38.6 	names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other identifying information to the responsible 
38.7 	social services agency for the purpose of complying with sections 260C.151, 260C.212, 
38.8 	260C.215,  and 260C.221.
38.9 	(k) If a child ordered into foster care has siblings, whether full, half, or step, who 
38.10 	are also ordered into foster care, the court shall inquire of the responsible social services 
38.11 	agency of the efforts to place the children together as required by section 260C.212, 
38.12 	subdivision 2, paragraph (d), if placement together is in each child's best interests, unless 
38.13 	a child is in placement for treatment or a child is placed with a previously noncustodial 
38.14 	parent who is not a parent to all siblings. If the children are not placed together at the time 
38.15 	of the hearing, the court shall inquire at each subsequent hearing of the agency's reasonable 
38.16 	efforts to place the siblings together, as required under section 260.012. If any sibling is 
38.17 	not placed with another sibling or siblings, the agency must develop a plan to facilitate 
38.18 	visitation or ongoing contact among the siblings as required under section 260C.212, 
38.19 	subdivision 1, unless it is contrary to the safety or well-being of any of the siblings to do so.
38.20 	(l) When the court has ordered the child into foster care or into the home of a 
38.21 	noncustodial parent, the court may order a chemical dependency evaluation, mental health 
38.22 	evaluation, medical examination, and parenting assessment for the parent as necessary 
38.23 	to support the development of a plan for reunification required under subdivision 7 and 
38.24 	section 260C.212, subdivision 1, or the child protective services plan under section 
38.25 	626.556, subdivision 10, and Minnesota Rules, part 9560.0228.

38.26 	Sec. 57. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.503, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
38.27 		Subd. 2.Termination of parental rights. (a) The responsible social services 
38.28 	agency must ask the county attorney to immediately file a termination of parental rights 
38.29 	petition when:

38.31 	subdivision 14;
38.32 	(2) the child is determined to be the sibling of a child who was subjected to 
38.33 	egregious harm;
38.34 	(3) the child is an abandoned infant as defined in section 260C.301, subdivision 3, 
38.35 	paragraph (b), clause (2) 260C.301, subdivision 2, paragraph (a), clause (2);
39.1 	(4) the child's parent has lost parental rights to another child through an order 
39.2 	involuntarily terminating the parent's rights;
39.3 	(5) the parent has committed sexual abuse as defined in section 626.556, subdivision 
39.4 	2, against the child or another child of the parent;
39.5 	(6) the parent has committed an offense that requires registration as a predatory 
39.6 	offender under section 243.166, subdivision 1b, paragraph (a) or (b); or
39.7 	(7) another child of the parent is the subject of an order involuntarily transferring 
39.8 	permanent legal and physical custody of the child to a relative under this chapter or a 
39.9 	similar law of another jurisdiction;
39.10 	The county attorney shall file a termination of parental rights petition unless the conditions 
39.11 	of paragraph (d) are met.
39.12 	(b) When the termination of parental rights petition is filed under this subdivision, 
39.13 	the responsible social services agency shall identify, recruit, and approve an adoptive 
39.14 	family for the child. If a termination of parental rights petition has been filed by another 
39.15 	party, the responsible social services agency shall be joined as a party to the petition.
39.16 	(c) If criminal charges have been filed against a parent arising out of the conduct 
39.17 	alleged to constitute egregious harm, the county attorney shall determine which matter 
39.18 	should proceed to trial first, consistent with the best interests of the child and subject 
39.19 	to the defendant's right to a speedy trial.
39.20 	(d) The requirement of paragraph (a) does not apply if the responsible social services 
39.21 	agency and the county attorney determine and file with the court:
39.22 	(1) a petition for transfer of permanent legal and physical custody to a relative under 
39.23 	sections 260C.505 and 260C.515, subdivision 3, including a determination that adoption 
39.24 	is not in the child's best interests and that transfer of permanent legal and physical custody 
39.25 	is in the child's best interests; or
39.26 	(2) a petition under section 260C.141 alleging the child, and where appropriate, 
39.27 	the child's siblings, to be in need of protection or services accompanied by a case plan 
39.28 	prepared by the responsible social services agency documenting a compelling reason why 
39.29 	filing a termination of parental rights petition would not be in the best interests of the child.

45.5 	possession of collateral does not relinquish possession by delivering the collateral to a 
45.6 	person other than the debtor or a lessee of the collateral from the debtor in the ordinary 
45.7 	course of the debtor's business if the person was instructed before the delivery or is 
45.8 	instructed contemporaneously with the delivery:
45.9 	(1) to hold possession of the collateral for the secured party's benefit; or
45.10 	(2) to redeliver the collateral to the secured party.

54.30 		Subd. 2a.Content of notice of redemption rights. The notice of redemption rights 
54.31 	required by this section must appear substantially as follows:
54.32 	"What Happens After the Foreclosure Sale
54.33 	After the sheriff's sale, you have the right to "redeem." Redeem means that you pay the 
54.34 	amount bid for your house at the sheriff's sale, plus interest and costs, to keep your house. 
54.35 	You can keep living in your home for a period of time after the foreclosure sale. This is 
55.1 	called a "redemption period." The redemption period is [insert number of months] months 
55.2 	after the sheriff's sale.
55.3 	At the end of the redemption period, if you do not redeem or sell, you will have to 
55.4 	leave your home. If you do not leave, the person or company that bid on your home at the 
55.5 	sheriff's sale has the right to file an eviction against you in court.
55.6 	Be Careful of Foreclosure Scams
55.7 	Be careful! After the foreclosure sale, people may approach you to buy your house 
55.8 	or ask you to transfer your house to them for little or no money.
55.9 	Before you give up the rights to your house or sign any documents (including a 
55.10 	deed), be sure you know how much the house sold for at the sheriff's sale and decide if 
55.11 	you can save the house by paying the amount of the bid, plus interest and costs.
55.12 	How to Find Out How Much Your House Sold For at the Foreclosure Sale
55.13 	The amount you need to pay to redeem your house may be less than the amount you 
55.14 	owed on the mortgage before the sale. You can learn what this amount is (and who the 
55.15 	winning bidder at the sale was) by attending the sheriff's sale or by contacting the sheriff's 
55.16 	office after the sale.
55.17 	You Can Also Sell Your House
55.18 	During the redemption period, if you sell your home, you must sell it for enough 
55.19 	to pay off the winning bidder from the sheriff's sale and pay interest, fees, and other 
55.20 	claims against the property. If there is any money left from the sale of the house after all 
55.21 	these debts are paid, you can keep the money. You can also enter into a "short sale." A 
55.22 	short sale is an agreement in which the lender agrees to accept less than the full amount 
55.23 	you owe on the mortgage.
55.24 	Get More Information and Advice
55.25 	For more information and advice, contact an attorney or a mortgage 
55.26 	foreclosure prevention counselor. You can find a mortgage foreclosure 
55.27 	prevention counselor by contacting the Minnesota Home Ownership Center 
55.28 	at 651-659-9336 or 866-462-6466 or www.hocmn.org or contact the United 
55.29 	States Department of Housing and Urban Development at 1-800-569-4287 or
