36.7 	Sec. 27. FINANCIAL REVIEW OF NONPROFIT GRANT RECIPIENTS.
 36.8 		Subdivision 1.Financial information required; determination of ability to 
36.9 	perform. Before an agency awards a competitive, legislatively-named, single source, or 
36.10 	sole source grant to a nonprofit organization with money appropriated in this act, the agency 
36.11 	must assess the risk that a grantee cannot or would not perform the required duties. In making 
36.12 	this assessment, the agency must review the following information:
36.13 	(1) the grantee's history of performing duties similar to those required by the grant, 
36.14 	whether the size of the grant requires the grantee to perform services at a significantly 
36.15 	increased scale, and whether the size of the grant will require significant changes to the 
36.16 	operation of the grantee's organization;
36.17 	(2) the applicant's Form 990 or Form 990-EZ filed with the Internal Revenue Service 
36.18 	in each of the prior three years. If the applicant has not been in existence long enough or is 
36.19 	not required to file Form 990 or Form 990-EZ, the applicant must demonstrate to the grantor's 
36.20 	satisfaction that the applicant is exempt and must instead submit the applicant's most recent 
36.21 	board-reviewed financial statements and documentation of internal controls;
36.22 	(3) evidence of registration and good standing with the secretary of state under Minnesota

36.25 	financial audit performed by an independent third party in accordance with generally accepted 
36.26 	accounting principles; and
36.27 	(5) certification, provided by the applicant, that none of its principals have been convicted 
36.28 	of a financial crime.
36.29 		Subd. 2.Additional measures for some grantees. The agency may require additional 
36.30 	information and must provide enhanced oversight for grants to nonprofit organizations that 
36.31 	have not previously received state or federal grants for similar amounts or similar duties 
36.32 	and so have not yet demonstrated the ability to perform the duties required under the grant 
36.33 	on the scale required.
37.1 		Subd. 3.Assistance from administration. An agency without adequate resources or 
37.2 	experience to perform obligations under this section may contract with the commissioner 
37.3 	of administration to perform the agency's duties under this section.
37.4 		Subd. 4.Agency authority to not award grant. If an agency determines that there is 
37.5 	an appreciable risk that a grantee receiving a competitive, single source, or sole source grant 
37.6 	cannot or would not perform the required duties under the grant agreement, the agency must 
37.7 	notify the grantee and the commissioner of administration and give the grantee an opportunity 
37.8 	to respond to the agency's concerns. If the grantee does not satisfy the agency's concerns 
37.9 	within 45 days, the agency must not award the grant.
37.10 		Subd. 5.Legislatively-named grantees. If an agency determines that there is an 
37.11 	appreciable risk that a grantee receiving a legislatively-named grant cannot or would not 
37.12 	perform the required duties under the grant agreement, the agency must notify the grantee, 
37.13 	the commissioner of administration, and the chair and ranking minority members of Ways 
37.14 	and Means Committee in the house of representatives, the chairs and ranking minority 
37.15 	members of the Finance Committee in the senate, and the chairs and ranking minority 
37.16 	members of the committees in the house of representatives and the senate with primary 
37.17 	jurisdiction over the bill in which the money for the grant was appropriated. The agency 
37.18 	must give the grantee an opportunity to respond to the agency's concerns. If the grantee 
37.19 	does not satisfy the agency's concerns within 45 days, the agency must delay award of the 
37.20 	grant until adjournment of the next regular or special legislative session.
37.21 		Subd. 6.Subgrants. If a grantee will disburse the money received from the grant to 
37.22 	other organizations to perform duties required under the grant agreement, the agency must 
37.23 	be a party to agreements between the grantee and a subgrantee. Before entering agreements 
37.24 	for subgrants, the agency must perform the financial review required under this section with 
37.25 	respect to the subgrantees.
37.26 		Subd. 7.Effect. The requirements of this section are in addition to other requirements 
37.27 	imposed by law, the commissioner of administration under Minnesota Statutes, sections 
37.28 	16B.97 to 16B.98, or agency grant policy.

100.6 	of offending behavior and may not completely preclude the placement of an offender in the 
100.7 	community. In addition, a restriction may not apply to placements at a location where an 
100.8 	offender receives treatment or where the location is owned, leased, or operated by or on 
100.9 	behalf of the state or federal government.

167.8 	for a life or indeterminate sentence a final discharge from their sentence in accordance with 
167.9 	section 243.05, subdivision 3. In no case, however, may a person subject to a mandatory 
167.10 	lifetime conditional release term under section 609.3455, subdivision 7, be discharged from

174.7 	2, 3, or 4. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall make an initial determination of 
174.8 	eligibility within 30 days of the end of the applicable waiting period. If a record is not 
174.9 	eligible for a grant of expungement at the time of the initial determination, the Bureau of 
174.10 	Criminal Apprehension shall make subsequent eligibility determinations annually until the 
174.11 	record is eligible for a grant of expungement.
174.12 	(b) In making the determination under paragraph (a), the Bureau of Criminal 
174.13 	Apprehension shall identify individuals who are the subject of relevant records through the 
174.14 	use of finger and thumb prints where finger and thumb prints are available. Where finger 
174.15 	and thumb prints are not available, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall identify 
174.16 	individuals through the use of the person's name and date of birth. Records containing the 
174.17 	same name and date of birth shall be presumed to refer to the same individual unless other 
174.18 	evidence establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, that they do not refer to the same

174.20 	evidence in making a determination.
174.21 	(c) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall grant expungement relief to qualifying

174.28 	relief granted pursuant to section 609A.015."
174.29 	(e) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform the judicial branch of all cases 
174.30 	for which expungement relief was granted pursuant to this section. Notification may be 
174.31 	through electronic means and may be made in real time or in the form of a monthly report. 
174.32 	Upon receipt of notice, the judicial branch shall seal all records relating to an arrest, 
174.33 	indictment or information, trial, verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which 
175.1 	expungement relief was granted and shall issue any order deemed necessary to achieve this 
175.2 	purpose.
175.3 	(f) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall inform each law enforcement agency 
175.4 	that its records may be affected by a grant of expungement relief. Notification may be 
175.5 	through electronic means. Each notified law enforcement agency that receives a request to 
175.6 	produce records shall first contact the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to determine if the 
175.7 	records were subject to a grant of expungement under this section. The law enforcement 
175.8 	agency must not disclose records relating to an arrest, indictment or information, trial, 
175.9 	verdict, or dismissal and discharge for any case in which expungement relief was granted 
175.10 	and must maintain the data consistent with the classification in paragraph (g). This paragraph 
175.11 	does not apply to requests from a criminal justice agency as defined in section 609A.03,

175.14 	sentencing purposes or providing probation or other correctional services; or
175.15 	(2) evaluating a prospective employee in a criminal justice agency without a court order.
175.16 	(g) Data on the person whose offense has been expunged under this subdivision, including 
175.17 	any notice sent pursuant to paragraph (f), are private data on individuals as defined in section 
175.18 	13.02, subdivision 12.

175.20 	expungement under this section in the manner provided in section 611A.03, subdivisions 
175.21 	1 and 2.
175.22 	(i) In any subsequent prosecution of a person granted expungement relief, the expunged 
175.23 	criminal record may be pleaded and has the same effect as if the relief had not been granted.
175.24 	(j) The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is directed to develop, modify, or update a 
175.25 	system to provide criminal justice agencies with uniform statewide access to criminal records 
175.26 	sealed by expungement.

180.15 	court may defer prosecution as provided in paragraph (c) for any person found guilty, after 
180.16 	trial or upon a plea of guilty, of a violation of section 152.023, subdivision 2, 152.024, 
180.17 	subdivision 2, 152.025, subdivision 2, or 152.027, subdivision 2, 3, 4, or 6, paragraph (d),

181.2 	guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person 
181.3 	on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to 
181.4 	exceed the maximum sentence provided for the violation. The court may give the person 
181.5 	the opportunity to attend and participate in an appropriate program of education regarding

181.16 	the person. The not public record may also be opened only upon court order for purposes 
181.17 	of a criminal investigation, prosecution, or sentencing. Upon receipt of notice that the 
181.18 	proceedings were dismissed, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall notify the arresting 
181.19 	or citing law enforcement agency and direct that agency to seal its records related to the 
181.20 	charge. Upon request by law enforcement, prosecution, or corrections authorities, the bureau 
181.21 	shall notify the requesting party of the existence of the not public record and the right to 
181.22 	seek a court order to open it pursuant to this section. The court shall forward a record of 
181.23 	any discharge and dismissal under this subdivision to the bureau which shall make and 
181.24 	maintain the not public record of it as provided under this subdivision. The discharge or 
181.25 	dismissal shall not be deemed a conviction for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities 
181.26 	imposed by law upon conviction of a crime or for any other purpose.

182.2 	of risk than that created by the employee or former employee interacting with the public 
182.3 	outside of the duties of the position or that might be created by being employed in general;
182.4 	(2) before the occurrence of the act giving rise to the civil action,:

186.2 	officials;
186.3 	(10) the recommendations of victims or whether victims of the underlying crime were 
186.4 	minors;
186.5 	(11) the amount, if any, of restitution outstanding, past efforts made by the petitioner 
186.6 	toward payment, and the measures in place to help ensure completion of restitution payment 
186.7 	after expungement of the record if granted; and
186.8 	(12) other factors deemed relevant by the court.

189.10 	than murder committed in violation of clause (1) of section 609.185 who has not been 
189.11 	previously convicted of a felony shall be paroled without having served 20 years, less the 
189.12 	diminution that would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 20 
189.13 	years;
189.14 	(2) no inmate serving a life sentence for committing murder before May 1, 1980, who 
189.15 	has been previously convicted of a felony or though not previously convicted of a felony 
189.16 	is serving a life sentence for murder in the first degree committed in violation of clause (1) 
189.17 	of section 609.185 shall be paroled without having served 25 years, less the diminution 
189.18 	which would have been allowed for good conduct had the sentence been for 25 years;
189.19 	(3) any inmate sentenced prior to September 1, 1963, who would be eligible for parole 
189.20 	had the inmate been sentenced after September 1, 1963, shall be eligible for parole; and
189.21 	(4) any new rule or policy or change of rule or policy adopted by the commissioner of 
189.22 	corrections which has the effect of postponing eligibility for parole has prospective effect 
189.23 	only and applies only with respect to persons committing offenses after the effective date 
189.24 	of the new rule or policy or change.
189.25 	(b) Upon being paroled and released, an inmate is and remains in the legal custody and 
189.26 	under the control of the commissioner, subject at any time to be returned to a facility of the 
189.27 	Department of Corrections established by law for the confinement or treatment of convicted 
189.28 	persons and the parole rescinded by the commissioner.
189.29 	(c) The written order of the commissioner of corrections, is sufficient authority for any 
189.30 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
189.31 	and place in actual custody any person on parole or supervised release. In addition, when 
189.32 	it appears necessary in order to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and 
190.1 	probation agent or state correctional investigator may, without order of warrant, take and 
190.2 	detain a parolee or person on supervised release or work release and bring the person to the 
190.3 	commissioner for action.
190.4 	(d) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
190.5 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to retake 
190.6 	and place in actual custody any person on probation under the supervision of the 
190.7 	commissioner pursuant to section 609.135. Additionally, when it appears necessary in order 
190.8 	to prevent escape or enforce discipline, any state parole and probation agent or state 
190.9 	correctional investigator may, without an order, retake and detain a probationer and bring 
190.10 	the probationer before the court for further proceedings under section 609.14.
190.11 	(e) The written order of the commissioner of corrections is sufficient authority for any 
190.12 	peace officer, state correctional investigator, or state parole and probation agent to detain 
190.13 	any person on pretrial release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the 
190.14 	conditions of pretrial release.
190.15 	(f) Persons conditionally released, and those on probation under the supervision of the 
190.16 	commissioner of corrections pursuant to section 609.135 may be placed within or outside 
190.17 	the boundaries of the state at the discretion of the commissioner of corrections or the court, 
190.18 	and the limits fixed for these persons may be enlarged or reduced according to their conduct.
190.19 	(g) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1b, in considering applications for 
190.20 	conditional release or discharge, the commissioner is not required to hear oral argument 
190.21 	from any attorney or other person not connected with an adult correctional facility of the 
190.22 	Department of Corrections in favor of or against the parole or release of any inmates. The 
190.23 	commissioner may institute inquiries by correspondence, taking testimony, or otherwise, 
190.24 	as to the previous history, physical or mental condition, and character of the inmate and, to 
190.25 	that end, has the authority to require the attendance of the chief executive officer of any 
190.26 	state adult correctional facility and the production of the records of these facilities, and to 
190.27 	compel the attendance of witnesses. The commissioner is authorized to administer oaths to 
190.28 	witnesses for these purposes.
190.29 	(h) Unless the district court directs otherwise, state parole and probation agents may 
190.30 	require a person who is under the supervision of the commissioner of corrections to perform 
190.31 	community work service for violating a condition of probation imposed by the court. 
190.32 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, to aid 
190.33 	the offender's rehabilitation, or both. Agents may impose up to eight hours of community 
190.34 	work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per offender per 12-month 
191.1 	period, beginning with the date on which community work service is first imposed. The 
191.2 	commissioner may authorize an additional 40 hours of community work services, for a total 
191.3 	of 64 hours per offender per 12-month period, beginning with the date on which community 
191.4 	work service is first imposed. At the time community work service is imposed, parole and 
191.5 	probation agents are required to provide written notice to the offender that states:
191.6 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
191.7 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
191.8 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
191.9 	period.
191.10 	An offender may challenge the imposition of community work service by filing a petition 
191.11 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
191.12 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
191.13 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
191.14 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
191.15 	under the circumstances.
191.16 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.
191.17 	(i) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's parole or probation 
191.18 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
191.19 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, a parole or probation 
191.20 	agent must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but 
191.21 	not limited to, inpatient substance use disorder treatment. If a probation or parole agent 
191.22 	determines that community options are appropriate, the agent shall seek to restructure the 
191.23 	offender's terms of release to incorporate those options. If an offender on probation stipulates 
191.24 	in writing to restructure the terms of release, a probation agent must forward a report to the 
191.25 	district court containing:
191.26 	(1) the specific nature of the technical violation of probation;
191.27 	(2) the recommended restructure to the terms of probation; and
191.28 	(3) a copy of the offender's signed stipulation indicating that the offender consents to 
191.29 	the restructuring of probation.
191.30 	The recommended restructuring of probation becomes effective when confirmed by a 
191.31 	judge. The order of the court shall be proof of such confirmation and amend the terms of 
191.32 	the sentence imposed by the court under section 609.135. If a nonviolent controlled substance 
191.33 	offender's parole or probation is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place 
192.1 	the offender in a local jail. For purposes of this paragraph, "nonviolent controlled substance 
192.2 	offender" is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 
192.3 	2, clauses (1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means any violation of a court order 
192.4 	of probation or a condition of parole, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that 
192.5 	is alleged in a formal complaint, citation, or petition.

192.6 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.05, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
192.7 		Subd. 3.Sanctions for violation. (a) If an inmate violates the conditions of the inmate's 
192.8 	supervised release imposed by the commissioner, the commissioner may:
192.9 	(1) continue the inmate's supervised release term, with or without:
192.10 	(i) modifying or enlarging the conditions imposed on the inmate; or
192.11 	(ii) transferring the inmate's case to a specialized caseload; or
192.12 	(2) revoke the inmate's supervised release and reimprison the inmate for the appropriate 
192.13 	period of time.
192.14 	(b) Before revoking an inmate's supervised release because of a technical violation that 
192.15 	would result in reimprisonment, the commissioner must identify alternative interventions 
192.16 	to address and correct the violation only if:
192.17 	(1) the inmate does not present a risk to the public; and
192.18 	(2) the inmate is amenable to continued supervision.
192.19 	(c) If alternative interventions are appropriate and available, the commissioner must 
192.20 	restructure the inmate's terms of release to incorporate the alternative interventions.
192.21 	(d) Prior to revoking a nonviolent controlled substance offender's supervised release 
192.22 	based on a technical violation, when the offender does not present a risk to the public and 
192.23 	the offender is amenable to continued supervision in the community, the commissioner 
192.24 	must identify community options to address and correct the violation including, but not 
192.25 	limited to, inpatient substance use disorder treatment. If the commissioner determines that 
192.26 	community options are appropriate, the commissioner shall restructure the inmate's terms 
192.27 	of release to incorporate those options. If a nonviolent controlled substance offender's 
192.28 	supervised release is revoked, the offender's agent must first attempt to place the offender 
192.29 	in a local jail. For purposes of this subdivision, "nonviolent controlled substance offender" 
192.30 	is a person who meets the criteria described under section 244.0513, subdivision 2, clauses 
192.31 	(1), (2), and (5), and "technical violation" means a violation of a condition of supervised 
193.1 	release, except an allegation of a subsequent criminal act that is alleged in a formal complaint, 
193.2 	citation, or petition.
193.3 	(e) The period of time for which a supervised release may be revoked may not exceed 
193.4 	the period of time remaining in the inmate's sentence, except that if a sex offender is 
193.5 	sentenced and conditionally released under Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 609.108, 
193.6 	subdivision 5, the period of time for which conditional release may be revoked may not 
193.7 	exceed the balance of the conditional release term.

193.8 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.19, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
193.9 		Subdivision 1.Appointment; joint services; state services. (a) If a county or group of 
193.10 	counties has established a human services board pursuant to chapter 402, the district court 
193.11 	may appoint one or more county probation officers as necessary to perform court services, 
193.12 	and the human services board shall appoint persons as necessary to provide correctional 
193.13 	services within the authority granted in chapter 402. In all counties of more than 200,000 
193.14 	population, which have not organized pursuant to chapter 402, the district court shall appoint 
193.15 	one or more persons of good character to serve as county probation officers during the 
193.16 	pleasure of the court. All other counties shall provide adult misdemeanant and juvenile 
193.17 	probation services to district courts in one of the following ways:
193.18 	(1) the court, with the approval of the county boards, may appoint one or more salaried 
193.19 	county probation officers to serve during the pleasure of the court;
193.20 	(2) when two or more counties offer probation services the district court through the 
193.21 	county boards may appoint common salaried county probation officers to serve in the several 
193.22 	counties;
193.23 	(3) a county or a district court may request the commissioner of corrections to furnish 
193.24 	probation services in accordance with the provisions of this section, and the commissioner 
193.25 	of corrections shall furnish such services to any county or court that fails to provide its own 
193.26 	probation officer by one of the two procedures listed above;
193.27 	(4) if a county or district court providing probation services under clause (1) or (2) asks 
193.28 	the commissioner of corrections or the legislative body for the state of Minnesota mandates 
193.29 	the commissioner of corrections to furnish probation services to the district court, the 
193.30 	probation officers and other employees displaced by the changeover shall be employed by 
193.31 	the commissioner of corrections. Years of service in the county probation department are 
193.32 	to be given full credit for future sick leave and vacation accrual purposes;
194.1 	(5) all probation officers serving the juvenile courts on July 1, 1972, shall continue to 
194.2 	serve if a county receiving probation services under clause (3) decides to provide the services 
194.3 	under clause (1) or (2), the probation officers and other employees displaced by the 
194.4 	changeover shall be employed by the county at no loss of salary. Years of service in the 
194.5 	state are to be given full credit for future sick leave and vacation accrual purposes in the 
194.6 	county or counties they are now serving.
194.7 	(b) A county or counties providing probation services under paragraph (a), clause (1) 
194.8 	or (2), is designated a "CPO county" for purposes of receiving a subsidy under chapter 401. 
194.9 	A county or counties receiving probation services under paragraph (a), clause (3), is not 
194.10 	eligible for a subsidy under chapter 401 and the commissioner of corrections is appropriated 
194.11 	the county's share of funding for the purpose of providing probation services and authority 
194.12 	to seek reimbursement from the county under subdivision 5.
194.13 	(c) A county that requests the commissioner of corrections to provide probation services 
194.14 	under paragraph (a), clause (3), shall collaborate with the commissioner to develop a 
194.15 	comprehensive plan as described in section 401.06.
194.16 	(b) (d) The commissioner of management and budget shall place employees transferred 
194.17 	to state service under paragraph (a), clause (4), in the proper classifications in the classified 
194.18 	service. Each employee is appointed without examination at no loss in salary or accrued 
194.19 	vacation or sick leave benefits, but no additional accrual of vacation or sick leave benefits 
194.20 	may occur until the employee's total accrued vacation or sick leave benefits fall below the 
194.21 	maximum permitted by the state for the employee's position. An employee appointed under 
194.22 	paragraph (a), clause (4), shall serve a probationary period of six months. After exhausting 
194.23 	labor contract remedies, a noncertified employee may appeal for a hearing within ten days 
194.24 	to the commissioner of management and budget, who may uphold the decision, extend the 
194.25 	probation period, or certify the employee. The decision of the commissioner of management 
194.26 	and budget is final. The state shall negotiate with the exclusive representative for the 
194.27 	bargaining unit to which the employees are transferred regarding their seniority. For purposes 
194.28 	of computing seniority among those employees transferring from one county unit only, a 
194.29 	transferred employee retains the same seniority position as the employee had within that 
194.30 	county's probation office.

194.31 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.19, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
194.32 		Subd. 5.Compensation. In counties of more than 200,000 population, a majority of the 
194.33 	judges of the district court may direct the payment of such salary to probation officers as 
194.34 	may be approved by the county board, and in addition thereto shall be reimbursed for all 
195.1 	necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. In all counties which 
195.2 	obtain probation services from the commissioner of corrections the commissioner shall, out 
195.3 	of appropriations provided therefor, pay probation officers the salary and all benefits fixed 
195.4 	by the state law or applicable bargaining unit and all necessary expenses, including secretarial 
195.5 	service, office equipment and supplies, postage, telephone and telegraph services, and travel 
195.6 	and subsistence. Each county receiving probation services from the commissioner of 
195.7 	corrections shall reimburse the department of corrections for the total cost and expenses of 
195.8 	such services as incurred by the commissioner of corrections, excluding the cost and expense 
195.9 	of services provided under the state's obligation in section 244.20. Total annual costs for 
195.10 	each county shall be that portion of the total costs and expenses for the services of one 
195.11 	probation officer represented by the ratio which the county's population bears to the total 
195.12 	population served by one officer. For the purposes of this section, the population of any 
195.13 	county shall be the most recent estimate made by the Department of Health. At least every 
195.14 	six months the commissioner of corrections shall bill for the total cost and expenses incurred 
195.15 	by the commissioner on behalf of each county which has received probation services. The 
195.16 	commissioner of corrections shall notify each county of the cost and expenses and the county 
195.17 	shall pay to the commissioner the amount due for reimbursement. All such reimbursements 
195.18 	shall be deposited in the general fund used to provide services for each county according 
195.19 	to their reimbursement amount. Objections by a county to all allocation of such cost and 
195.20 	expenses shall be presented to and determined by the commissioner of corrections. Each 
195.21 	county providing probation services under this section is hereby authorized to use unexpended 
195.22 	funds and to levy additional taxes for this purpose.
195.23 	The county commissioners of any county of not more than 200,000 population shall, 
195.24 	when requested to do so by the juvenile judge, provide probation officers with suitable 
195.25 	offices, and may provide equipment, and secretarial help needed to render the required 
195.26 	services.

195.27 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.195, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
195.28 		Subdivision 1.Definitions. (a) As used in this subdivision and sections 244.196 to

196.17 	or to prevent a person on conditional release from escaping or absconding from supervision, 
196.18 	a court services director has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer 
196.19 	or any probation officer in the state serving the district and juvenile courts to detain and 
196.20 	bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever is appropriate, for 
196.21 	disposition. If the person on conditional release commits a violation described in section 
196.22 	609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (a), the court services director must have a reasonable 
196.23 	belief that the order is necessary to prevent the person from escaping or absconding from 
196.24 	supervision or that the continued presence of the person in the community presents a risk 
196.25 	to public safety before issuing a written order. This written order is sufficient authority for 
196.26 	the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person for not more than 72 hours,

197.2 	Community work service may be imposed for the purpose of protecting the public, aiding 
197.3 	the person's rehabilitation, or both. A probation officer may impose up to eight hours of 
197.4 	community work service for each violation and up to a total of 24 hours per person per

197.7 	community work service, for a total of 64 hours per person per 12-month period, beginning 
197.8 	with the date on which community work service is first imposed. At the time community 
197.9 	work service is imposed, probation officers are required to provide written notice to the 
197.10 	person that states:
197.11 	(1) the condition of probation that has been violated;
197.12 	(2) the number of hours of community work service imposed for the violation; and
197.13 	(3) the total number of hours of community work service imposed to date in the 12-month 
197.14 	period.
197.15 	(b) A person on supervision may challenge the imposition of community work service 
197.16 	by filing a petition in district court within five days of receiving written notice that

197.18 	community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a preponderance of the 
197.19 	evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable under the 
197.20 	circumstances.
197.21 	(c) Community work service includes sentencing to service.

197.22 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 244.195, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
197.23 	read:

197.27 	244.20 PROBATION SUPERVISION.
197.28 	Notwithstanding sections 244.19, subdivision 1, and 609.135, subdivision 1, the 
197.29 	Department of Corrections shall have exclusive responsibility for providing probation 
197.30 	services for adult felons in counties that do not take part in the Community Corrections Act. 
197.31 	In counties that do not take part in the Community Corrections Act, the responsibility for

201.15 	in district court. An offender must file the petition within five days of receiving written 
201.16 	notice that community work service is being imposed. If the offender challenges the 
201.17 	imposition of community work service, the state bears the burden of showing, by a 
201.18 	preponderance of the evidence, that the imposition of community work service is reasonable 
201.19 	under the circumstances.
201.20 	Community work service includes sentencing to service.

201.21 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.025, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
201.22 		Subdivision 1.Peace officers and probation officers serving CCA counties. (a) When 
201.23 	it appears necessary to enforce discipline or to prevent a person on conditional release from 
201.24 	escaping or absconding from supervision, the chief executive officer or designee of a 
201.25 	community corrections agency in a CCA county has the authority to issue a written order 
201.26 	directing any peace officer or any probation officer in the state serving the district and 
201.27 	juvenile courts to detain and bring the person before the court or the commissioner, whichever 
201.28 	is appropriate, for disposition. If the person on conditional release commits a violation 
201.29 	described in section 609.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (a), the chief executive officer or 
201.30 	designee must have a reasonable belief that the order is necessary to prevent the person 
201.31 	from escaping or absconding from supervision or that the continued presence of the person 
201.32 	in the community presents a risk to public safety before issuing a written order. This written 
201.33 	order is sufficient authority for the peace officer or probation officer to detain the person 
202.1 	for not more than 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, pending a hearing 
202.2 	before the court or the commissioner.
202.3 	(b) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA 
202.4 	county has the authority to issue a written order directing a peace officer or probation officer 
202.5 	serving the district and juvenile courts to release a person detained under paragraph (a) 
202.6 	within 72 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, without an appearance before 
202.7 	the court or the commissioner. This written order is sufficient authority for the peace officer 
202.8 	or probation officer to release the detained person.
202.9 	(c) The chief executive officer or designee of a community corrections agency in a CCA 
202.10 	county has the authority to issue a written order directing any peace officer or any probation 
202.11 	officer serving the district and juvenile courts to detain any person on court-ordered pretrial 
202.12 	release who absconds from pretrial release or fails to abide by the conditions of pretrial 
202.13 	release. A written order issued under this paragraph is sufficient authority for the peace 
202.14 	officer or probation officer to detain the person.

202.15 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2023, and applies to violations 
202.16 	that occur on or after that date.

202.17 	Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.06, is amended to read:

202.19 	COMPLIANCE.
202.20 		Subdivision 1.Commissioner approval required. (a) No county or group of counties

202.26 	supervision standards.
202.27 	(b) If the commissioner provides supervision to a county that elects not to provide the 
202.28 	supervision, the commissioner must prepare a comprehensive plan for the county and present 
202.29 	it to the local county board of commissioners. The Department of Corrections is subject to 
202.30 	all the standards and requirements under this chapter and supervision standards and policies.
202.31 	(c) A comprehensive plan is valid for four years and a corrections advisory board must 
202.32 	review and update the plan two years after the plan has been approved or two years after 
202.33 	submitted to the commissioner, whichever is earlier.
203.1 	(d) All approved comprehensive plans, including updated plans, must be made publicly 
203.2 	available on the Department of Corrections website.

204.27 	and payable to the county or counties concerned; provided that no contract shall exceed in 
204.28 	cost the amount of subsidy to which the participating county or counties are eligible.

205.1 	Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 401.10, is amended to read:
205.2 	401.10 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AID.
205.3 		Subdivision 1.Aid calculations Funding formula. To determine the community 
205.4 	corrections aid amount to be paid to each participating county, the commissioner of 
205.5 	corrections must apply the following formula:
205.6 	(1) For each of the 87 counties in the state, a percent score must be calculated for each 
205.7 	of the following five factors:
205.8 	(i) percent of the total state population aged ten to 24 residing within the county according 
205.9 	to the most recent federal census, and, in the intervening years between the taking of the 
205.10 	federal census, according to the most recent estimate of the state demographer;
205.11 	(ii) percent of the statewide total number of felony case filings occurring within the 
205.12 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
205.13 	(iii) percent of the statewide total number of juvenile case filings occurring within the 
205.14 	county, as determined by the state court administrator;
205.15 	(iv) percent of the statewide total number of gross misdemeanor case filings occurring 
205.16 	within the county, as determined by the state court administrator; and
205.17 	(v) percent of the total statewide number of convicted felony offenders who did not 
205.18 	receive an executed prison sentence, as monitored and reported by the Sentencing Guidelines 
205.19 	Commission.
205.20 	The percents in items (ii) to (v) must be calculated by combining the most recent 
205.21 	three-year period of available data. The percents in items (i) to (v) each must sum to 100 
205.22 	percent across the 87 counties.
205.23 	(2) For each of the 87 counties, the county's percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), must 
205.24 	be weighted, summed, and divided by the sum of the weights to yield an average percent 
205.25 	for each county, referred to as the county's "composite need percent." When performing 
205.26 	this calculation, the weight for each of the percents in clause (1), items (i) to (v), is 1.0. The 
205.27 	composite need percent must sum to 100 percent across the 87 counties.
205.28 	(3) For each of the 87 counties, the county's "adjusted net tax capacity percent" is the 
205.29 	county's adjusted net tax capacity amount, defined in the same manner as it is defined for 
205.30 	cities in section 477A.011, subdivision 20, divided by the statewide total adjusted net tax 
205.31 	capacity amount. The adjusted net tax capacity percent must sum to 100 percent across the 
205.32 	87 counties.
206.1 	(4) For each of the 87 counties, the county's composite need percent must be divided by 
206.2 	the county's adjusted net tax capacity percent to produce a ratio that, when multiplied by 
206.3 	the county's composite need percent, results in the county's "tax base adjusted need percent."
206.4 	(5) For each of the 87 counties, the county's tax base adjusted need percent must be 
206.5 	added to twice the composite need percent, and the sum must be divided by 3, to yield the 
206.6 	county's "weighted need percent."
206.7 	(6) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be added to the weighted 
206.8 	need percent of each other participating county to yield the "total weighted need percent 
206.9 	for participating counties."
206.10 	(7) Each participating county's weighted need percent must be divided by the total 
206.11 	weighted need percent for participating counties to yield the county's "share percent." The 
206.12 	share percents for participating counties must sum to 100 percent.
206.13 	(8) Each participating county's "base funding amount" is the aid amount that the county 
206.14 	received under this section for fiscal year 1995 plus the amount received in caseload or 
206.15 	workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision grants in fiscal 
206.16 	year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections. In fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, 
206.17 	no county's aid amount under this section may be less than its base funding amount, provided 
206.18 	that the total amount appropriated for this purpose is at least as much as the aggregate base 
206.19 	funding amount defined in clause (9).
206.20 	(9) The "aggregate base funding amount" is equal to the sum of the base funding amounts 
206.21 	for all participating counties. If a county that participated under this section chooses not to 
206.22 	participate in any given year, then the aggregate base funding amount must be reduced by 
206.23 	that county's base funding amount. If a county that did not participate under this section in 
206.24 	fiscal year 1995 chooses to participate on or after July 1, 2015, then the aggregate base 
206.25 	funding amount must be increased by the amount of aid that the county would have received 
206.26 	had it participated in fiscal year 1995 plus the estimated amount it would have received in 
206.27 	caseload or workload reduction, felony caseload reduction, and sex offender supervision 
206.28 	grants in fiscal year 2015, as reported by the commissioner of corrections, and the amount 
206.29 	of increase shall be that county's base funding amount.
206.30 	(10) In any given year, the total amount appropriated for this purpose first must be 
206.31 	allocated to participating counties in accordance with each county's base funding amount. 
206.32 	Then, any remaining amount in excess of the aggregate base funding amount must be 
206.33 	allocated to participating counties in proportion to each county's share percent, and is referred 
206.34 	to as the county's "formula amount."
207.1 	Each participating county's "community corrections aid amount" equals the sum of (i) 
207.2 	the county's base funding amount, and (ii) the county's formula amount.
207.3 	(11) However, if in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section 
207.4 	is less than the aggregate base funding amount, then each participating county's community 
207.5 	corrections aid amount is the product of (i) the county's base funding amount multiplied by 
207.6 	(ii) the ratio of the total amount appropriated to the aggregate base funding amount.
207.7 	For each participating county, the county's community corrections aid amount calculated 
207.8 	in this subdivision is the total amount of subsidy to which the county is entitled under 
207.9 	sections 401.01 to 401.16.
207.10 	(a) Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the subsidy paid to each county and Tribal government 
207.11 	and the commissioner of corrections for supervision in counties or Tribal jurisdictions served 
207.12 	by the department shall equal the sum of:
207.13 	(1) a base funding amount equal to $200,000, plus:
207.14 	(i) ten percent of the total for all appropriations to the commissioner for community 
207.15 	supervision and postrelease services during the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year for which 
207.16 	the subsidy will be paid multiplied by the county's or Tribe's percent share of the state's

213.30 	conditions of probation or intermediate sanction, or has otherwise been guilty of misconduct 
213.31 	which warrants the imposing or execution of sentence, the court may without notice revoke 
214.1 	the stay and direct that the defendant be taken into immediate custody. Revocation should 
214.2 	only be used as a last resort when rehabilitation has failed.
214.3 	(b) When it appears that the defendant violated any of the conditions of probation during 
214.4 	the term of the stay, but the term of the stay has since expired, the defendant's probation 
214.5 	officer or the prosecutor may ask the court to initiate probation revocation proceedings 
214.6 	under the Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time within six months after the expiration 
214.7 	of the stay. The court also may initiate proceedings under these circumstances on its own 
214.8 	motion. If proceedings are initiated within this six-month period, the court may conduct a 
214.9 	revocation hearing and take any action authorized under rule 27.04 at any time during or 
214.10 	after the six-month period.
214.11 	(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.135 or any law to the contrary, after

214.13 	directing either that the defendant be taken into custody or that a summons be issued in 
214.14 	accordance with paragraph (a), the proceedings to revoke the stay may be concluded and 
214.15 	the summary hearing provided by subdivision 2 may be conducted after the expiration of 
214.16 	the stay or after the six-month period set forth in paragraph (b). The proceedings to revoke 
214.17 	the stay shall not be dismissed on the basis that the summary hearing is conducted after the 
214.18 	term of the stay or after the six-month period. The ability or inability to locate or apprehend 
214.19 	the defendant prior to the expiration of the stay or during or after the six-month period shall 
214.20 	not preclude the court from conducting the summary hearing unless the defendant 
214.21 	demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair 
214.22 	advantage.

214.23 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2023, and applies to violations 
214.24 	that occur on or after that date.

214.26 	read:
214.27 		Subd. 1a.Violations where policies favor continued rehabilitation. (a) Correctional 
214.28 	treatment is better provided through a community resource than through confinement, it 
214.29 	would not unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violation if probation was not revoked, 
214.30 	and the policies favoring probation outweigh the need for confinement if a person has not 
214.31 	previously violated a condition of probation or intermediate sanction and does any of the 
214.32 	following in violation of a condition imposed by the court:
214.33 	(1) fails to abstain from the use of controlled substances without a valid prescription, 
214.34 	unless the person is under supervision for a violation of section:

215.17 	(8) fails to report contact with a law enforcement agency, unless the person was charged 
215.18 	with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony; or
215.19 	(9) commits any offense for which the penalty is a petty misdemeanor.
215.20 	(b) A violation by a person described in paragraph (a) does not warrant the imposition 
215.21 	or execution of sentence and the court may not direct that the person be taken into immediate 
215.22 	custody unless the court receives a written report, signed under penalty of perjury pursuant 
215.23 	to section 358.116, showing probable cause to believe the person violated probation and 
215.24 	establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the continued presence of the person 
215.25 	in the community would present a risk to public safety. If the court does not direct that the 
215.26 	person be taken into custody, the court may request a supplemental report from the 
215.27 	supervising agent containing:
215.28 	(1) the specific nature of the violation;
215.29 	(2) the response of the person under supervision to the violation, if any; and
215.30 	(3) the actions the supervising agent has taken or will take to address the violation.
