  8.52  need for increased public safety 
  8.53  training resources can be met through 
  8.54  the expansion of existing training 
  8.55  facilities rather than the creation of

 27.4   that it is impossible for the driver to yield.  This provision 
 27.5   shall not apply under the conditions as otherwise provided in 
 27.6   this subdivision. 
 27.7      (b) When any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at 
 27.8   any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection with no marked 
 27.9   crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the 
 27.10  driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not 
 27.11  overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. 
 27.12     (c) It is unlawful for any person to drive a motor vehicle 
 27.13  through a column of school children crossing a street or highway 
 27.14  or past a member of a school safety patrol or adult crossing 
 27.15  guard, while the member of the school safety patrol or adult 
 27.16  crossing guard is directing the movement of children across a 
 27.17  street or highway and while the school safety patrol member or 
 27.18  adult crossing guard is holding an official signal in the stop 
 27.19  position.  A peace officer may arrest the driver of a motor 
 27.20  vehicle if the peace officer has probable cause to believe that 
 27.21  the driver has operated the vehicle in violation of this 
 27.22  paragraph within the past four hours.  
 27.23     (d) A person who violates this subdivision is guilty of a 
 27.24  misdemeanor and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more 
 27.25  than 90 days or to payment of a fine of not more than $700, or 
 27.26  both.  A person who violates this subdivision a second or 
 27.27  subsequent time within one year of a previous conviction under 
 27.28  this subdivision is guilty of a gross misdemeanor and may be 
 27.29  sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or to 
 27.30  payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both. 
 27.31     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 169.21, 
 27.32  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 27.33     Subd. 3.  [CROSSING BETWEEN INTERSECTIONS.] Every 
 27.34  pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a 
 27.35  marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an 
 27.36  intersection with no marked crosswalk shall yield the 
 28.1   right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway. 
 28.2      Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a 
 28.3   pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been 
 28.4   provided shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the 
 28.5   roadway. 
 28.6      Between adjacent intersections at which traffic-control 
 28.7   signals are in operation pedestrians shall not cross at any 
 28.8   place except in a marked crosswalk. 
 28.9      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section every 
 28.10  driver of a vehicle shall:  (a) exercise due care to avoid 
 28.11  colliding with any bicycle or pedestrian upon any roadway and 
 28.12  (b) give an audible signal when necessary and exercise proper 
 28.13  precaution upon observing any child or any obviously confused or 
 28.14  incapacitated person upon a roadway. 
 28.15     Sec. 3.  [169.2151] [PEDESTRIAN SAFETY CROSSINGS.] 
 28.16     A local road authority may provide by ordinance for the 
 28.17  designation of pedestrian safety crossings on highways under the 
 28.18  road authority's jurisdiction where pedestrian safety 
 28.19  considerations require extra time for pedestrian crossing in 
 28.20  addition to the time recommended under the Minnesota manual of 
 28.21  uniform traffic control devices for pedestrian signals.  The 
 28.22  ordinance may provide for timing of pedestrian signals for such 
 28.23  crossings, consistent with the recommendations of the uniform 
 28.24  manual for pedestrian signal timing at senior citizen and 
 28.25  handicapped pedestrian crossings.  Cities other than cities of 
 28.26  the first class may designate a pedestrian safety crossing only 
 28.27  with the approval of the road authority having jurisdiction over 
 28.28  the crossing.  The authority of local road authorities to 
 28.29  determine pedestrian signal timing under this section is in 
 28.30  addition to any other control exercised by local road 
 28.31  authorities over the timing of pedestrian signals. 
 28.32     Sec. 4.  [241.018] [PER DIEM CALCULATION.] 
 28.33     (a) The commissioner of corrections shall develop a uniform 
 28.34  method to calculate the average department wide per diem cost of 
 28.35  incarcerating offenders at state correctional facilities.  In 
 28.36  addition to other costs currently factored into the per diem, it 
 29.1   must include an appropriate percentage of capitol costs for all 
 29.2   correctional facilities and 65 percent of the department's 
 29.3   management services budget. 
 29.4      (b) The commissioner also shall use this method of 
 29.5   calculating per diem costs for offenders in each state 
 29.6   correctional facility.  When calculating the per diem cost of 
 29.7   incarcerating offenders at a particular facility, the 
 29.8   commissioner shall include an appropriate percentage of capital 
 29.9   costs for the facility and an appropriate prorated amount, given 
 29.10  the facility's population, of 65 percent of the department's 
 29.11  management services budget. 
 29.12     (c) The commissioner shall ensure that the new per diem 
 29.13  method is used in all future instances in which the department's 
 29.14  or any facility's per diem charge is reported. 
 29.15     (d) The commissioner shall report information related to 
 29.16  these per diems to the chairs and ranking minority members of 
 29.17  the senate and house committees and divisions having 
 29.18  jurisdiction over criminal justice funding by January 15, 2001.

 29.20  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 29.21     Subd. 4.  [PUBLIC DEFENDER COSTS.] Each calendar year, 1.5 
 29.22  percent of the total appropriation for this section shall be 
 29.23  retained by the commissioner of revenue to make reimbursements 
 29.24  to the commissioner of finance for payments made under section 
 29.25  611.27.  The reimbursements shall be to defray the additional 
 29.26  costs associated with court-ordered counsel under section 611.27 
 29.27  and the costs of services other than counsel under section 
 29.28  611.27, subdivision 16.  Any retained amounts not used for 
 29.29  reimbursement in a year shall be included in the next 
 29.30  distribution of county criminal justice aid that is certified to 
 29.31  the county auditors for the purpose of property tax reduction 
 29.32  for the next taxes payable year. 
 29.33     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 609.322, 
 29.34  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 29.35     Subdivision 1.  [INDIVIDUALS UNDER AGE 16 18.] Whoever, 
 29.36  while acting other than as a prostitute or patron, intentionally 
 30.1   does any of the following may be sentenced to imprisonment for 
 30.2   not more than 20 years or to payment of a fine of not more than 
 30.3   $40,000, or both: 
 30.4      (1) solicits or induces an individual under the age of 16 
 30.5   18 years to practice prostitution; 
 30.6      (2) promotes the prostitution of an individual under the 
 30.7   age of 16 18 years; or 
 30.8      (3) receives profit, knowing or having reason to know that 
 30.9   it is derived from the prostitution, or the promotion of the 
 30.10  prostitution, of an individual under the age of 16 18 years. 
 30.11     Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 611.21, is 
 30.12  amended to read: 
 30.13     611.21 [SERVICES OTHER THAN COUNSEL.] 
 30.14     (a) Private counsel appointed by the court for an indigent 
 30.15  defendant, or representing a defendant who, at the outset of the 
 30.16  prosecution, has an annual income not greater than 125 percent 
 30.17  of the poverty line established under United States Code, title 
 30.18  42, section 9902(2), and public defenders in districts that are 
 30.19  not fully state funded, may file an ex parte application 
 30.20  requesting investigative, expert, or other services necessary to 
 30.21  an adequate defense in the case.  Upon finding, after 
 30.22  appropriate inquiry in an ex parte proceeding, that the services 
 30.23  are necessary and that the defendant is financially unable to 
 30.24  obtain them, the court shall authorize counsel to obtain the 
 30.25  services on behalf of the defendant.  The court may establish a 
 30.26  limit on the amount which may be expended or promised for such 
 30.27  services.  The court may, in the interests of justice, and upon 
 30.28  a finding that timely procurement of necessary services could 
 30.29  not await prior authorization, ratify such services after they 
 30.30  have been obtained, but such ratification shall be given only in 
 30.31  unusual situations.  The court shall determine reasonable 
 30.32  compensation for the services and direct payment by the county 
 30.33  in which the prosecution originated, to the organization or 
 30.34  person who rendered them, upon the filing of a claim for 
 30.35  compensation supported by an affidavit specifying the time 
 30.36  expended, services rendered, and expenses incurred on behalf of 
 31.1   the defendant, and the compensation received in the same case or 
 31.2   for the same services from any other source.  
 31.3      (b) The compensation to be paid to a person for such 
 31.4   service rendered to a defendant under this section, or to be 
 31.5   paid to an organization for such services rendered by an 
 31.6   employee, may not exceed $1,000, exclusive of reimbursement for 
 31.7   expenses reasonably incurred, unless payment in excess of that 
 31.8   limit is certified by the court as necessary to provide fair 
 31.9   compensation for services of an unusual character or duration 
 31.10  and the amount of the excess payment is approved by the chief 
 31.11  judge of the district.  The chief judge of the judicial district 
 31.12  may delegate approval authority to an active district judge.  
 31.13     (c) If the court denies authorizing counsel to obtain 
 31.14  services on behalf of the defendant, the court shall make 
 31.15  written findings of fact and conclusions of law that state the 
 31.16  basis for determining that counsel may not obtain services on 
 31.17  behalf of the defendant.  When the court issues an order denying 
 31.18  counsel the authority to obtain services, the defendant may 
 31.19  appeal immediately from that order to the court of appeals and 
 31.20  may request an expedited hearing. 
 31.21     (d) The provisions of this section do not apply to 
 31.22  representation by a public defender appointed by the court in 
 31.23  districts that are fully state funded. 
 31.24     Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 611.27, 
 31.25  subdivision 5, is amended to read: 
 31.26     Subd. 5.  [DISTRICT PUBLIC DEFENDER BUDGETS.] The board of 
 31.27  public defense may only fund those items and services in 
 31.28  district public defender budgets which were included in the 
 31.29  original budgets of district public defender offices as of 
 31.30  January 1, 1990.  All other public defense related costs remain 
 31.31  the responsibility of the counties unless the state specifically 
 31.32  appropriates for these.  The cost of additional state funding of 
 31.33  these items and services must be offset by reductions in local 
 31.34  aids in the same manner as the original state takeover, or, in 
 31.35  the case of expenses other than counsel under section 611.27, 
 31.36  subdivision 16, by the use of county criminal justice aid under 
 32.1   section 477A.0121, subdivision 4.  
 32.2      Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 611.27, is 
 32.3   amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
 32.4      Subd. 16.  [SERVICES OTHER THAN COUNSEL.] An assistant 
 32.5   public defender, who has been appointed by the court to 
 32.6   represent an indigent defendant, may request from the board of 
 32.7   public defense, funds to pay for investigative, expert or other 
 32.8   services necessary to an adequate defense in the case.  The 
 32.9   board of public defense shall pay for the services from funds 
 32.10  appropriated for that purpose in districts fully funded by the 
 32.11  state. 
 32.12     If sufficient funds are not available to the board of 
 32.13  public defense, the commissioner of finance shall make payment 
 32.14  from county criminal justice aid retained by the commissioner of 
 32.15  revenue for that purpose under section 477A.0121, subdivision 4.
