 16.6   investigative data.  The court may order that all or part of the 
 16.7   data relating to a particular investigation be released to the 
 16.8   public or to the person bringing the action.  In making the 
 16.9   determination as to whether investigative data shall be 
 16.10  disclosed, the court shall consider whether the benefit to the 
 16.11  person bringing the action or to the public outweighs any harm 
 16.12  to the public, to the agency or to any person identified in the 
 16.13  data.  The data in dispute shall be examined by the court in 
 16.14  camera.

 16.27  access to data on individuals to protect the identity of 
 16.28  individuals in the following circumstances: 
 16.29     (a) when access to the data would reveal the identity of an 
 16.30  undercover law enforcement officer, as provided in section 
 16.31  13.43, subdivision 5; 
 16.32     (b) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 16.33  victim or alleged victim of criminal sexual conduct or of a 
 16.34  violation of section 617.246, subdivision 2; 
 16.35     (c) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 16.36  paid or unpaid informant being used by the agency if the agency 
 17.1   reasonably determines that revealing the identity of the 
 17.2   informant would threaten the personal safety of the informant;

 17.4   victim of or witness to a crime if the victim or witness 
 17.5   specifically requests not to be identified publicly, and unless

 17.7   the victim or witness would not threaten the personal safety or 
 17.8   property of the individual; 
 17.9      (e) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 17.10  deceased person whose body was unlawfully removed from a 
 17.11  cemetery in which it was interred; 
 17.12     (f) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 17.13  person who placed a call to a 911 system or the identity or 
 17.14  telephone number of a service subscriber whose phone is used to 
 17.15  place a call to the 911 system and:  (1) the agency determines 
 17.16  that revealing the identity may threaten the personal safety or 
 17.17  property of any person; or (2) the object of the call is to 
 17.18  receive help in a mental health emergency.  For the purposes of 
 17.19  this paragraph, a voice recording of a call placed to the 911 
 17.20  system is deemed to reveal the identity of the caller; or 
 17.21     (g) when access to the data would reveal the identity of a 
 17.22  juvenile witness and the agency reasonably determines that the 
 17.23  subject matter of the investigation justifies protecting the 
 17.24  identity of the witness.  
 17.25     Data concerning individuals whose identities are protected 
 17.26  by this subdivision are private data about those individuals.  
 17.27  Law enforcement agencies shall establish procedures to acquire 
 17.28  the data and make the decisions necessary to protect the 
 17.29  identity of individuals described in clauses (c), (d), (f), and 
 17.30  (g).

 35.21     336.9-411 [COMPUTERIZED FILING SYSTEM.] 
 35.22     (a) The secretary of state shall develop and implement a

 36.13  allows a form of electronic access to information regarding the 
 36.14  obligations of debtors, the access must be available 24 hours a 
 36.15  day, every day of the year. 
 36.16     Notwithstanding section 13.49, private parties who have 
 36.17  electronic-view-only access to computerized records may view the

 36.33  information in the central database as required by the uniform 
 36.34  commercial code;

 37.4   information records on file with the secretary of state; 
 37.5      (7) require the secretary of state to maintain the central 
 37.6   database;

 37.8   the central database and monitor the central database to ensure 
 37.9   that unauthorized entry is not allowed;

 37.16  from the existing filing system to a computerized filing system. 
 37.17     (e) The secretary of state, county recorders, and their 
 37.18  employees and agents shall not be liable for any loss or damages 
 37.19  arising from errors in or omissions from information entered 
 37.20  into the computerized filing system as a result of the 
 37.21  electronic transmission of tax lien notices under sections 
 37.22  268.161, subdivision 1, paragraph (b), clause (2); 270.69, 
 37.23  subdivision 2, paragraph (b), clause (2); 272.483; and 272.488,

 37.34  under which the action is brought are classified as private data 
 37.35  until seven working days after the commissioner has mailed a 
 37.36  copy of the charge to the respondent, at which time the data 
 38.1   become public data, unless the commissioner determines that 
 38.2   release of the data would be detrimental to the investigative 
 38.3   and enforcement process. 
 38.4      (b) Human rights investigative data not on an individual 
 38.5   contained in an open case file is classified as protected 
 38.6   nonpublic data. 
 38.7      (c) Notwithstanding this subdivision, the commissioner may 
 38.8   make human rights investigative data contained in an open case 
 38.9   file accessible to a person, government agency, or the public if 
 38.10  access will aid the investigative and enforcement process. 
 38.11     Sec. 53.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 383B.225, 
 38.12  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
 38.13     Subd. 6.  [INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE.] (a) Upon notification 
 38.14  of the death of any person, as provided in subdivision 5, the 
 38.15  county medical examiner or a designee may proceed to the body, 
 38.16  take charge of it, and order, when necessary, that there be no 
 38.17  interference with the body or the scene of death.  Any person 
 38.18  violating the order of the examiner is guilty of a misdemeanor.  
 38.19  The examiner or the examiner's designee shall make inquiry 
 38.20  regarding the cause and manner of death and prepare written 
 38.21  findings together with the report of death and its 
 38.22  circumstances, which shall be filed in the office of the 
 38.23  examiner.  When it appears that death may have resulted from a 
 38.24  criminal act and that further investigation is advisable, a copy 
 38.25  of the report shall be transmitted to the county attorney.  The 
 38.26  examiner may take possession of all property of the deceased, 
 38.27  mark it for identification, and make an inventory.  The examiner 
 38.28  shall take possession of all articles useful in establishing the 
 38.29  cause of death, mark them for identification and retain them 
 38.30  securely until they are no longer needed for evidence or 
 38.31  investigation.  The examiner shall release any property or 
 38.32  articles needed for any criminal investigation to law 
 38.33  enforcement officers conducting the investigation.  When a 
 38.34  reasonable basis exists for not releasing property or articles 
 38.35  to law enforcement officers, the examiner shall consult with the 
 38.36  county attorney.  If the county attorney determines that a 
 39.1   reasonable basis exists for not releasing the property or 
 39.2   articles, the examiner may retain them.  The property or 
 39.3   articles shall be returned immediately upon completion of the 
 39.4   investigation.  When the property or articles are no longer 
 39.5   needed for the investigation or as evidence, the examiner shall 
 39.6   release the property or articles to the person or persons 
 39.7   entitled to them.  Notwithstanding any other law to the 
 39.8   contrary, when personal property of a decedent has come into the 
 39.9   possession of the examiner, and is not used for a criminal 
 39.10  investigation or as evidence, and has not been otherwise 
 39.11  released as provided in this subdivision, the name of the 
 39.12  decedent shall be filed with the probate court, together with a 
 39.13  copy of the inventory of the decedent's property.  At that time, 
 39.14  an examination of the records of the probate court shall be made 
 39.15  to determine whether a will has been admitted to probate or an 
 39.16  administration has been commenced.  Property of a nominal value, 
 39.17  including wearing apparel, may be released to the spouse or any 
 39.18  blood relative of the decedent or to the person accepting 
 39.19  financial responsibility for burial of the decedent.  If 
 39.20  property has not been released by the examiner and no will has 
 39.21  been admitted to probate or administration commenced within six 
 39.22  months after death, the examiner shall sell the property at a 
 39.23  public auction upon notice and in a manner as the probate court 
 39.24  may direct; except that the examiner shall cause to be destroyed 
 39.25  any firearm or other weapon that is not released to or claimed 
 39.26  by a decedent's spouse or blood relative.  If the name of the 
 39.27  decedent is not known, the examiner shall inventory the property 
 39.28  of the decedent and after six months may sell the property at a 
 39.29  public auction.  The examiner shall be allowed reasonable 
 39.30  expenses for the care and sale of the property and shall deposit 
 39.31  the net proceeds of the sale with the county administrator, or

 45.20  individuals who implement or administer data practices and other 
 45.21  information policy laws within their government entity. 
 45.22     (b) The commissioner may provide technical assistance and 
 45.23  support and help coordinate efforts to develop sector-specific 
 45.24  training within different sectors.  Elements of sector-specific

 45.32  ongoing information policy administrative responsibilities may 
 45.33  meet to discuss issues arising within their sectors; 
 45.34     (4) availability of expertise for coaching and consultation 
 45.35  on specific issues; and

 46.4   information policy issues at the policy level and to provide 
 46.5   ongoing consultation and support regarding major areas of 
 46.6   concern with a goal of developing a coherent and coordinated 
 46.7   approach to information policy within the state.  The 
 46.8   commissioner may assist in the development and implementation of 
 46.9   information policy and provide a clearinghouse for ideas, 
 46.10  information, and resources.  The commissioner may review public 
 46.11  information policy and identify how that policy can be updated, 
 46.12  simplified, and made consistent. 
 46.13     Sec. 2.  [REPORT.] 
 46.14     By January 15, 1996, the commissioner of administration 
 46.15  shall report to the legislature on progress in implementing the

 50.3      (2) that would be a violation of section 152.021 
 50.4   (first-degree controlled substance crime); 152.022 
 50.5   (second-degree controlled substance crime); 152.023

 50.15  parent or legal guardian that the disposition order has been 
 50.16  shared with the juvenile's school. 
 50.17     (b) The disposition order must be accompanied by a notice 
 50.18  to the school that the school may obtain additional information 
 50.19  from the juvenile's probation officer with the consent of the 
 50.20  juvenile or the juvenile's parents, as applicable.  The

 50.22  education record but may not be released outside of the school 
 50.23  district or educational entity, other than to another school

 51.6      Subd. 4.  [CHILD ABUSE CRIME.] "Child abuse crime" means:  
 51.7      (1) an act committed against a minor victim that 
 51.8   constitutes a violation of section 609.185, clause (5); 609.221; 
 51.9   609.222; 609.223; 609.224; 609.2241; 609.322; 609.323; 609.324;

 51.16     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 518B.01, 
 51.17  subdivision 14, is amended to read: 
 51.18     Subd. 14.  [VIOLATION OF AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION.] (a) 
 51.19  Whenever an order for protection is granted pursuant to this 
 51.20  section, and the respondent or person to be restrained knows of 
 51.21  the order, violation of the order for protection is a 
 51.22  misdemeanor.  Upon conviction, the defendant must be sentenced 
 51.23  to a minimum of three days imprisonment and must be ordered to 
 51.24  participate in counseling or other appropriate programs selected 
 51.25  by the court.  If the court stays imposition or execution of the 
 51.26  jail sentence and the defendant refuses or fails to comply with 
 51.27  the court's treatment order, the court must impose and execute 
 51.28  the stayed jail sentence.  A person is guilty of a gross 
 51.29  misdemeanor who violates this paragraph during the time period 
 51.30  between a previous conviction under this paragraph; sections 
 51.31  609.221 to 609.224; 609.2241; 609.713, subdivision 1 or 3; 
 51.32  609.748, subdivision 6; 609.749; or a similar law of another 
 51.33  state and the end of the five years following discharge from 
 51.34  sentence for that conviction.  Upon conviction, the defendant 
 51.35  must be sentenced to a minimum of ten days imprisonment and must 
 51.36  be ordered to participate in counseling or other appropriate 
 52.1   programs selected by the court.  Notwithstanding section 
 52.2   609.135, the court must impose and execute the minimum sentence 
 52.3   provided in this paragraph for gross misdemeanor convictions. 
 52.4      (b) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take 
 52.5   into custody a person whom the peace officer has probable cause 
 52.6   to believe has violated an order granted pursuant to this 
 52.7   section restraining the person or excluding the person from the 
 52.8   residence or the petitioner's place of employment, even if the 
 52.9   violation of the order did not take place in the presence of the 
 52.10  peace officer, if the existence of the order can be verified by 
 52.11  the officer.  The person shall be held in custody for at least 
 52.12  36 hours, excluding the day of arrest, Sundays, and holidays, 
 52.13  unless the person is released earlier by a judge or judicial 
 52.14  officer.  A peace officer acting in good faith and exercising 
 52.15  due care in making an arrest pursuant to this paragraph is 
 52.16  immune from civil liability that might result from the officer's 
 52.17  actions. 
 52.18     (c) A violation of an order for protection shall also 
 52.19  constitute contempt of court and be subject to the penalties 
 52.20  therefor.  
 52.21     (d) If the court finds that the respondent has violated an 
 52.22  order for protection and that there is reason to believe that 
 52.23  the respondent will commit a further violation of the provisions 
 52.24  of the order restraining the respondent from committing acts of 
 52.25  domestic abuse or excluding the respondent from the petitioner's 
 52.26  residence, the court may require the respondent to acknowledge 
 52.27  an obligation to comply with the order on the record.  The court 
 52.28  may require a bond sufficient to deter the respondent from 
 52.29  committing further violations of the order for protection, 
 52.30  considering the financial resources of the respondent, and not 
 52.31  to exceed $10,000.  If the respondent refuses to comply with an 
 52.32  order to acknowledge the obligation or post a bond under this 
 52.33  paragraph, the court shall commit the respondent to the county 
 52.34  jail during the term of the order for protection or until the 
 52.35  respondent complies with the order under this paragraph.  The 
 52.36  warrant must state the cause of commitment, with the sum and 
 53.1   time for which any bond is required.  If an order is issued 
 53.2   under this paragraph, the court may order the costs of the 
 53.3   contempt action, or any part of them, to be paid by the 
 53.4   respondent.  An order under this paragraph is appealable.  
 53.5      (e) Upon the filing of an affidavit by the petitioner, any 
 53.6   peace officer, or an interested party designated by the court, 
 53.7   alleging that the respondent has violated any order for 
 53.8   protection granted pursuant to this section, the court may issue 
 53.9   an order to the respondent, requiring the respondent to appear 
 53.10  and show cause within 14 days why the respondent should not be 
 53.11  found in contempt of court and punished therefor.  The hearing 
 53.12  may be held by the court in any county in which the petitioner 
 53.13  or respondent temporarily or permanently resides at the time of 
 53.14  the alleged violation.  The court also shall refer the violation 
 53.15  of the order for protection to the appropriate prosecuting 
 53.16  authority for possible prosecution under paragraph (a). 
 53.17     (f) If it is alleged that the respondent has violated an 
 53.18  order for protection issued under subdivision 6 and the court 
 53.19  finds that the order has expired between the time of the alleged 
 53.20  violation and the court's hearing on the violation, the court 
 53.21  may grant a new order for protection under subdivision 6 based 
 53.22  solely on the respondent's alleged violation of the prior order, 
 53.23  to be effective until the hearing on the alleged violation of 
 53.24  the prior order.  If the court finds that the respondent has 
 53.25  violated the prior order, the relief granted in the new order 
 53.26  for protection shall be extended for a fixed period, not to 
 53.27  exceed one year. 
 53.28     (g) The admittance into petitioner's dwelling of an abusing 
 53.29  party excluded from the dwelling under an order for protection 
 53.30  is not a violation by the petitioner of the order for protection.
 53.31     A peace officer is not liable under section 609.43, clause 
 53.32  (1), for a failure to perform a duty required by paragraph (b). 
 53.33     Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.101, 
 53.34  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 53.35     Subd. 2.  [MINIMUM FINES.] Notwithstanding any other law:  
 53.36     (1) when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 54.1   section 609.221, 609.267, or 609.342, it must impose a fine of 
 54.2   not less than $500 nor more than the maximum fine authorized by 
 54.3   law; 
 54.4      (2) when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 54.5   section 609.222, 609.223, 609.2671, 609.343, 609.344, or 
 54.6   609.345, it must impose a fine of not less than $300 nor more 
 54.7   than the maximum fine authorized by law; and 
 54.8      (3) when a court sentences a person convicted of violating 
 54.9   section 609.2231, 609.224, 609.2241, or 609.2672, it must impose 
 54.10  a fine of not less than $100 nor more than the maximum fine 
 54.11  authorized by law.  
 54.12     The court shall collect the portion of the fine mandated by 
 54.13  this subdivision and forward 70 percent of it to a local victim 
 54.14  assistance program that provides services locally in the county 
 54.15  in which the crime was committed.  The court shall forward the 
 54.16  remaining 30 percent to the commissioner of finance to be 
 54.17  credited to the general fund.  If more than one victim 
 54.18  assistance program serves the county in which the crime was 
 54.19  committed, the court may designate on a case-by-case basis which 
 54.20  program will receive the fine proceeds, giving consideration to 
 54.21  the nature of the crime committed, the types of victims served 
 54.22  by the program, and the funding needs of the program.  If no 
 54.23  victim assistance program serves that county, the court shall 
 54.24  forward 100 percent of the fine proceeds to the commissioner of 
 54.25  finance to be credited to the general fund.  Fine proceeds 
 54.26  received by a local victim assistance program must be used to 
 54.27  provide direct services to crime victims.  
 54.28     The minimum fine required by this subdivision is in 
 54.29  addition to the surcharge or assessment required by subdivision 
 54.30  1 and is in addition to any sentence of imprisonment or 
 54.31  restitution imposed or ordered by the court. 
 54.32     As used in this subdivision, "victim assistance program" 
 54.33  means victim witness programs within county attorney offices or 
 54.34  any of the following programs:  crime victim crisis centers, 
 54.35  victim-witness programs, battered women shelters and nonshelter 
 54.36  programs, and sexual assault programs. 
 55.1      Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.131, 
 55.2   subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 55.3      Subd. 2.  [CERTAIN VIOLATIONS EXCEPTED.] Subdivision 1 does 
 55.4   not apply to a misdemeanor violation of section 169.121; 
 55.5   609.224; 609.2241; 609.226; 609.324, subdivision 3; 609.52; or 
 55.6   617.23, or an ordinance that conforms in substantial part to any 
 55.7   of those sections.  A violation described in this subdivision 
 55.8   must be treated as a misdemeanor unless the defendant consents 
 55.9   to the certification of the violation as a petty misdemeanor. 
 55.10     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.135, 
 55.11  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 55.12     Subd. 2.  (a) If the conviction is for a felony the stay 
 55.13  shall be for not more than four years or the maximum period for 
 55.14  which the sentence of imprisonment might have been imposed, 
 55.15  whichever is longer. 
 55.16     (b) If the conviction is for a gross misdemeanor violation 
 55.17  of section 169.121 or 169.129, the stay shall be for not more 
 55.18  than four years.  The court shall provide for unsupervised 
 55.19  probation for the last one year of the stay unless the court 
 55.20  finds that the defendant needs supervised probation for all or 
 55.21  part of the last one year. 
 55.22     (c) If the conviction is for a gross misdemeanor not 
 55.23  specified in paragraph (b), the stay shall be for not more than 
 55.24  two years. 
 55.25     (d) If the conviction is for any misdemeanor under section 
 55.26  169.121; 609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23; or for a 
 55.27  misdemeanor under section 609.2241 or 609.224, subdivision 1, in 
 55.28  which the victim of the crime was a family or household member 
 55.29  as defined in section 518B.01, the stay shall be for not more 
 55.30  than two years.  The court shall provide for unsupervised 
 55.31  probation for the second year of the stay unless the court finds 
 55.32  that the defendant needs supervised probation for all or part of 
 55.33  the second year. 
 55.34     (e) If the conviction is for a misdemeanor not specified in 
 55.35  paragraph (d), the stay shall be for not more than one year.  
 55.36     (f) The defendant shall be discharged six months after the 
 56.1   term of the stay expires, unless the stay has been revoked or 
 56.2   extended under paragraph (g), or the defendant has already been 
 56.3   discharged. 
 56.4      (g) Notwithstanding the maximum periods specified for stays 
 56.5   of sentences under paragraphs (a) to (f), a court may extend a 
 56.6   defendant's term of probation for up to one year if it finds, at 
 56.7   a hearing conducted under subdivision 1a, that: 
 56.8      (1) the defendant has not paid court-ordered restitution or 
 56.9   a fine in accordance with the payment schedule or structure; and 
 56.10     (2) the defendant is likely to not pay the restitution or 
 56.11  fine the defendant owes before the term of probation expires.  
 56.12  This one-year extension of probation for failure to pay 
 56.13  restitution or a fine may be extended by the court for up to one 
 56.14  additional year if the court finds, at another hearing conducted 
 56.15  under subdivision 1a, that the defendant still has not paid the 
 56.16  court-ordered restitution or fine that the defendant owes. 
 56.17     Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.135, 
 56.18  subdivision 5a, is amended to read: 
 56.19     Subd. 5a.  [DOMESTIC ABUSE VICTIMS; ELECTRONIC MONITORING.] 
 56.20  (a) Until the commissioner of corrections has adopted standards 
 56.21  governing electronic monitoring devices used to protect victims 
 56.22  of domestic abuse, the court, as a condition of a stay of 
 56.23  imposition or execution of a sentence, may not order an offender 
 56.24  convicted of a crime described in paragraph (b) to use an 
 56.25  electronic monitoring device to protect a victim's safety.  
 56.26     (b) This subdivision applies to the following crimes, if 
 56.27  committed by the defendant against a family or household member 
 56.28  as defined in section 518B.01, subdivision 2: 
 56.29     (1) violations of orders for protection issued under 
 56.30  chapter 518B; 
 56.31     (2) assault in the first, second, third, or fifth degree 
 56.32  under section 609.221, 609.222, 609.223, or 609.224; or domestic 
 56.33  assault under section 609.2241;

 57.7      (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the judges in the tenth 
 57.8   judicial district may order, as a condition of a stay of 
 57.9   imposition or execution of a sentence, a defendant convicted of 
 57.10  a crime described in paragraph (b), to use an electronic 
 57.11  monitoring device to protect the victim's safety.  The judges 
 57.12  shall make data on the use of electronic monitoring devices to 
 57.13  protect a victim's safety in the tenth judicial district 
 57.14  available to the commissioner of corrections to evaluate and to 
 57.15  aid in development of standards for the use of devices to 
 57.16  protect victims of domestic abuse.  
 57.17     Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 609.1352, 
 57.18  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 57.19     Subd. 3.  [DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY.] The court shall base 
 57.20  its finding that the offender is a danger to public safety on 
 57.21  either of the following factors: 
 57.22     (1) the crime involved an aggravating factor that would 
 57.23  justify a durational departure from the presumptive sentence 
 57.24  under the sentencing guidelines; or 
 57.25     (2) the offender previously committed or attempted to 
 57.26  commit a predatory crime or a violation of section 609.224 or 
 57.27  609.2241, including an offense committed as a juvenile that 
 57.28  would have been a predatory crime or a violation of section

 70.31  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
 70.32     Subd. 6.  [DISCOVERABILITY OF NOT PUBLIC DATA.] If a state 
 70.33  agency, political subdivision, or statewide system opposes 
 70.34  discovery of government data or release of data pursuant to 
 70.35  court order on the grounds that the data are classified as not 
 70.36  public, the party that seeks access to the data may bring before 
 71.1   the appropriate presiding judicial officer, arbitrator, or 
 71.2   administrative law judge an action to compel discovery or an 
 71.3   action in the nature of an action to compel discovery.  
 71.4      The presiding officer shall first decide whether the data 
 71.5   are discoverable or releasable pursuant to the rules of evidence 
 71.6   and of criminal, civil, or administrative procedure appropriate 
 71.7   to the action.  
 71.8      If the data are discoverable the presiding officer shall 
 71.9   decide whether the benefit to the party seeking access to the 
 71.10  data outweighs any harm to the confidentiality interests of the 
 71.11  agency maintaining the data, or of any person who has provided 
 71.12  the data or who is the subject of the data, or to the privacy 
 71.13  interest of an individual identified in the data.  In making the 
 71.14  decision, the presiding officer shall consider whether notice to 
 71.15  the subject of the data is warranted and, if warranted, what 
 71.16  type of notice must be given.  The presiding officer may fashion 
 71.17  and issue any protective orders necessary to assure proper 
 71.18  handling of the data by the parties.  If the data are a 
 71.19  videotape of a child victim or alleged victim alleging, 
 71.20  explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
 71.21  abuse, the presiding officer shall consider the provisions of 
 71.22  section 611A.90, subdivision 2, paragraph (b).  
 71.23     Sec. 2.  [13.391] [VIDEOTAPES OF CHILD ABUSE VICTIMS.] 
 71.24     (a) Notwithstanding section 13.04, subdivision 3, an 
 71.25  individual subject of data may not obtain a copy of a videotape

 71.27  explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
 71.28  abuse without a court order under section 13.03, subdivision 6, 
 71.29  or 611A.90.  The definitions of physical abuse and sexual abuse 
 71.30  in section 626.556, subdivision 2, apply to this section, except 
 71.31  that abuse is not limited to acts by a person responsible for 
 71.32  the child's care or in a significant relationship with the child 
 71.33  or position of authority. 
 71.34     (b) This section does not limit other rights of access to 
 71.35  data by an individual under section 13.04, subdivision 3, other 
 71.36  than the right to obtain a copy of the videotape, nor limit 
 72.1   rights of access pursuant to discovery in a court proceeding.

 72.3   subdivision 6, is amended to read:

 72.6   investigative data collected by a law enforcement agency to the 
 72.7   victim of a criminal act or alleged criminal act or to the 
 72.8   victim's legal representative unless the release to the 
 72.9   individual subject of the data would be prohibited under section 
 72.10  13.391 or the prosecuting authority reasonably believes:  
 72.11     (a) that the release of that data will interfere with the 
 72.12  investigation; or 
 72.13     (b) that the request is prompted by a desire on the part of 
 72.14  the requester to engage in unlawful activities.  
 72.15     Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 13.99, is amended

 72.23  shall supply to a patient complete and current information 
 72.24  possessed by that provider concerning any diagnosis, treatment

 72.26  can reasonably be expected to understand. 
 72.27     (b) Except as provided in paragraph (e), upon a patient's 
 72.28  written request, a provider, at a reasonable cost to the 
 72.29  patient, shall promptly furnish to the patient (1) copies of the 
 72.30  patient's health record, including but not limited to laboratory 
 72.31  reports, X-rays, prescriptions, and other technical information 
 72.32  used in assessing the patient's health condition, or (2) the 
 72.33  pertinent portion of the record relating to a condition 
 72.34  specified by the patient.  With the consent of the patient, the 
 72.35  provider may instead furnish only a summary of the record.  The 
 72.36  provider may exclude from the health record written speculations 
 73.1   about the patient's health condition, except that all 
 73.2   information necessary for the patient's informed consent must be 
 73.3   provided. 
 73.4      (c) If a provider, as defined in subdivision 1, clause 
 73.5   (b)(1), reasonably determines that the information is 
 73.6   detrimental to the physical or mental health of the patient, or 
 73.7   is likely to cause the patient to inflict self harm, or to harm 
 73.8   another, the provider may withhold the information from the 
 73.9   patient and may supply the information to an appropriate third 
 73.10  party or to another provider, as defined in subdivision 1, 
 73.11  clause (b)(1).  The other provider or third party may release 
 73.12  the information to the patient. 
 73.13     (d) A provider as defined in subdivision 1, clause (b)(3), 
 73.14  shall release information upon written request unless, prior to 
 73.15  the request, a provider as defined in subdivision 1, clause 
 73.16  (b)(1), has designated and described a specific basis for 
 73.17  withholding the information as authorized by paragraph (c). 
 73.18     (e) A provider may not release a copy of a videotape of a 
 73.19  child victim or alleged victim of physical or sexual abuse 
 73.20  without a court order under section 13.03, subdivision 6, or as 
 73.21  provided in section 611A.90.  This paragraph does not limit the 
 73.22  right of a patient to view the videotape. 
 73.23     Sec. 6.  [611A.90] [RELEASE OF VIDEOTAPES OF CHILD ABUSE 
 73.24  VICTIMS.] 
 73.25     Subdivision 1.  [DEFINITION.] For purposes of this section, 
 73.26  "physical abuse" and "sexual abuse" have the meanings given in 
 73.27  section 626.556, subdivision 2, except that abuse is not limited 
 73.28  to acts by a person responsible for the child's care or in a 
 73.29  significant relationship with the child or position of authority.
 73.30     Subd. 2.  [COURT ORDER REQUIRED.] (a) A custodian of a 
 73.31  videotape of a child victim or alleged victim alleging, 
 73.32  explaining, denying, or describing an act of physical or sexual 
 73.33  abuse as part of an investigation or evaluation of the abuse may 
 73.34  not release a copy of the videotape without a court order, 
 73.35  notwithstanding that the subject has consented to the release of 
 73.36  the videotape or that the release is authorized under law. 
 74.1      (b) The court order may govern the purposes for which the 
 74.2   videotape may be used, reproduction, release to other persons, 
 74.3   retention and return of copies, and other requirements 
 74.4   reasonably necessary for protection of the privacy and best 
 74.5   interests of the child. 
 74.6      Subd. 3.  [PETITION.] An individual subject of data, as 
 74.7   defined in section 13.02, or a patient, as defined in section 
 74.8   144.335, who is seeking a copy of a videotape governed by this

 74.10  alleged abuse took place or where the custodian of the videotape 
 74.11  resides for an order releasing a copy of the videotape under 
 74.12  subdivision 2.  Nothing in this section establishes a right to 
 74.13  obtain access to a videotape by any other person nor limits a 
 74.14  right of a person to obtain access if access is otherwise 
 74.15  authorized by law or pursuant to discovery in a court proceeding.
