9.10 	(b) Unless there is reason to believe that the child would endanger self or others or 
9.11 	not return for a court hearing, or that the child's health or welfare would be immediately 
9.12 	endangered, the child shall be released to the custody of a parent, guardian, custodian, 
9.13 	or other suitable person, subject to reasonable conditions of release including, but not

9.16 	(c) If the court determines there is reason to believe that the child would endanger

9.18 	be immediately endangered if returned to the care of the parent or guardian who has 
9.19 	custody and from whom the child was removed, the court shall order the child into 
9.20 	foster care under the legal responsibility of the responsible social services agency or 
9.21 	responsible probation or corrections agency for the purposes of protective care as that term 
9.22 	is used in the juvenile court rules or into the home of a noncustodial parent and order the 
9.23 	noncustodial parent to comply with any conditions the court determines to be appropriate 
9.24 	to the safety and care of the child, including cooperating with paternity establishment 
9.25 	proceedings in the case of a man who has not been adjudicated the child's father. The 
9.26 	court shall not give the responsible social services legal custody and order a trial home 
9.27 	visit at any time prior to adjudication and disposition under section 260C.201, subdivision

9.30 	guardian to comply with any conditions the court determines to be appropriate to meet 
9.31 	the safety, health, and welfare of the child.
9.32 	(d) In determining whether the child's health or welfare would be immediately 
9.33 	endangered, the court shall consider:
9.34 	(1) whether the child would reside with a perpetrator of domestic child abuse; or
10.1 	(2) whether the child is believed to be a sexually exploited youth and the trafficker 
10.2 	may have access to the child if released.
10.3 	(e) The court, before determining whether a child should be placed in or continue 
10.4 	in foster care under the protective care of the responsible agency, shall also make a 
10.5 	determination, consistent with section 260.012 as to whether reasonable efforts were made 
10.6 	to prevent placement or whether reasonable efforts to prevent placement are not required. 
10.7 	In the case of an Indian child, the court shall determine whether active efforts, according 
10.8 	to the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, United States Code, title 25, section 1912(d), 
10.9 	were made to prevent placement. The court shall enter a finding that the responsible 
10.10 	social services agency has made reasonable efforts to prevent placement when the agency 
10.11 	establishes either:
10.12 	(1) that it has actually provided services or made efforts in an attempt to prevent 
10.13 	the child's removal but that such services or efforts have not proven sufficient to permit 
10.14 	the child to safely remain in the home; or
10.15 	(2) that there are no services or other efforts that could be made at the time of the 
10.16 	hearing that could safely permit the child to remain home or to return home. When 
10.17 	reasonable efforts to prevent placement are required and there are services or other efforts 
10.18 	that could be ordered which would permit the child to safely return home, the court shall 
10.19 	order the child returned to the care of the parent or guardian and the services or efforts put 
10.20 	in place to ensure the child's safety. When the court makes a prima facie determination 
10.21 	that one of the circumstances under paragraph (g) exists, the court shall determine that 
10.22 	reasonable efforts to prevent placement and to return the child to the care of the parent or 
10.23 	guardian are not required.
10.24 	If the court finds the social services agency's preventive or reunification efforts 
10.25 	have not been reasonable but further preventive or reunification efforts could not permit 
10.26 	the child to safely remain at home, the court may nevertheless authorize or continue 
10.27 	the removal of the child.
10.28 	(f) The court may not order or continue the foster care placement of the child unless 
10.29 	the court makes explicit, individualized findings that continued custody of the child by 
10.30 	the parent or guardian would be contrary to the welfare of the child and that placement is 
10.31 	in the best interest of the child.
10.32 	(g) At the emergency removal hearing, or at any time during the course of the 
10.33 	proceeding, and upon notice and request of the county attorney, the court shall determine 
10.34 	whether a petition has been filed stating a prima facie case that:
10.35 	(1) the parent has subjected a child to egregious harm as defined in section 
10.36 	260C.007, subdivision 14;
11.1 	(2) the parental rights of the parent to another child have been involuntarily 
11.2 	terminated;
11.3 	(3) the child is an abandoned infant under section 260C.301, subdivision 2, 
11.4 	paragraph (a), clause (2);
11.5 	(4) the parents' custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred 
11.6 	to a relative under Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 260C.201, subdivision 11, paragraph 
11.7 	(e), clause (1); section 260C.515, subdivision 4; or a similar law of another jurisdiction;
11.8 	(5) the parent has committed sexual abuse as defined in section 626.556, subdivision 
11.9 	2, against the child or another child of the parent;
11.10 	(6) the parent has committed an offense that requires registration as a predatory 
11.11 	offender under section 243.166, subdivision 1b, paragraph (a) or (b); or
11.12 	(7) the provision of services or further services for the purpose of reunification is 
11.13 	futile and therefore unreasonable.
11.14 	(h) When a petition to terminate parental rights is required under section 260C.301, 
11.15 	subdivision 3 or 4, but the county attorney has determined not to proceed with a 
11.16 	termination of parental rights petition, and has instead filed a petition to transfer permanent 
11.17 	legal and physical custody to a relative under section 260C.507, the court shall schedule a 
11.18 	permanency hearing within 30 days of the filing of the petition.
11.19 	(i) If the county attorney has filed a petition under section 260C.307, the court shall 
11.20 	schedule a trial under section 260C.163 within 90 days of the filing of the petition except 
11.21 	when the county attorney determines that the criminal case shall proceed to trial first under 
11.22 	section 260C.503, subdivision 2, paragraph (c).
11.23 	(j) If the court determines the child should be ordered into foster care and the child's 
11.24 	parent refuses to give information to the responsible social services agency regarding 
11.25 	the child's father or relatives of the child, the court may order the parent to disclose the 
11.26 	names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other identifying information to the responsible 
11.27 	social services agency for the purpose of complying with sections 260C.151, 260C.212, 
11.28 	260C.215,  and 260C.221.
11.29 	(k) If a child ordered into foster care has siblings, whether full, half, or step, who 
11.30 	are also ordered into foster care, the court shall inquire of the responsible social services 
11.31 	agency of the efforts to place the children together as required by section 260C.212, 
11.32 	subdivision 2, paragraph (d), if placement together is in each child's best interests, unless 
11.33 	a child is in placement for treatment or a child is placed with a previously noncustodial 
11.34 	parent who is not a parent to all siblings. If the children are not placed together at the time 
11.35 	of the hearing, the court shall inquire at each subsequent hearing of the agency's reasonable 
11.36 	efforts to place the siblings together, as required under section 260.012. If any sibling is 
12.1 	not placed with another sibling or siblings, the agency must develop a plan to facilitate 
12.2 	visitation or ongoing contact among the siblings as required under section 260C.212, 
12.3 	subdivision 1, unless it is contrary to the safety or well-being of any of the siblings to do so.
12.4 	(l) When the court has ordered the child into foster care or into the home of a 
12.5 	noncustodial parent, the court may order a chemical dependency evaluation, mental health 
12.6 	evaluation, medical examination, and parenting assessment for the parent as necessary 
12.7 	to support the development of a plan for reunification required under subdivision 7 and 
12.8 	section 260C.212, subdivision 1, or the child protective services plan under section 
12.9 	626.556, subdivision 10, and Minnesota Rules, part 9560.0228.

12.10 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2013.

12.11 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.181, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
12.12 		Subd. 2.Least restrictive setting. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1, 
12.13 	if the child had been taken into custody pursuant to section 260C.175, subdivision 1, clause 
12.14 	(1) or (2), item (ii), and is not alleged to be delinquent or a sexually exploited youth, the 
12.15 	child shall be detained in the least restrictive setting consistent with the child's health and 
12.16 	welfare and in closest proximity to the child's family as possible. Placement may be with a 
12.17 	child's relative, a designated caregiver under chapter 257A, or in a shelter care facility. The 
12.18 	placing officer shall comply with this section and shall document why a less restrictive 
12.19 	setting will or will not be in the best interests of the child for placement purposes.

12.20 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2013.

12.21 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260C.181, is amended by adding a

12.24 	pursuant to section 260C.175, subdivision 1, clause (1) or (2), item (ii), and is alleged to 
12.25 	be a sexually exploited youth, upon motion by the county attorney, placement in a secure 
12.26 	detention facility may be continued for up to 48 additional hours, exclusive of Saturdays, 
12.27 	Sundays, and holidays, if the court determines that the child's health or welfare would be 
12.28 	immediately endangered if released to a less restrictive setting.

12.29 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2013.
