Kelley and Knoblach were excused.

The Chief Clerk proceeded to read the Journals of the preceding days. Bradley moved that further reading of the Journals be suspended and that the Journals be approved as corrected by the Chief Clerk. The motion prevailed.

There being no objection, the order of business advanced to Motions and Resolutions.

Garcia introduced:

House Resolution No. 2, A house resolution honoring Charles Willard Lindberg.

Garcia moved that the rules be so far suspended that House Resolution No. 2 be now considered and be placed upon its adoption. The motion prevailed.

A house resolution honoring Charles Willard Lindberg.

Whereas, Charles Willard Lindberg, a Richfield, Minnesota, resident, grew up in Grand Forks, North Dakota; and

Whereas, a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps during World War II, Charles Lindberg was a member of E-Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment, 5th Marine Division; and

Whereas, on February 19, 1945, he was among the 1,000 Marines who invaded the shores of Iwo Jima, Japan, and one of only 150 Marines who were left at the end of the first day; and

Whereas, his platoon included 40 men upon arrival at Iwo Jima, only four of whom were not killed or seriously wounded, so that this platoon is the most decorated platoon in Marine Corps history; and

Whereas, on February 23, 1945, Charles Lindberg was one of the six Marines to raise the original flag atop Mount Suribachi to signal the capture of Iwo Jima; the second, larger flag that was raised was photographed by Joseph Rosenthal and is the most memorable photograph of World War II; and

Whereas, Charles Willard Lindberg, along with his wife Violet, will be honored on February 23, 1995, the 50th anniversary of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima, for his outstanding heroism and the historic part he played in World War II; Now, Therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that it declares Thursday, February 23, 1995, Charles Lindberg Day in Minnesota, and honors Charles Lindberg, Richfield, Minnesota, for service to his country and the United States Marine Corps.

Be It Further Resolved that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to prepare an enrolled copy of this resolution, to be authenticated by his signature and that of the Speaker, and transmit it to Charles Willard Lindberg.

Garcia moved that House Resolution No. 2 be now adopted. The motion prevailed and House Resolution No. 2 was adopted.

There being no objection, the order of business reverted to Petitions and Communications.

Reported the same back with the following amendments:

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

Subd. 6. [SUPERINTENDENT.] "Superintendent" means the superintendent of the bureau of criminal apprehension.

Subd. 7. [TENANT.] "Tenant" has the meaning given in section 566.18, subdivision 2.

Sec. 3. [299C.68] [BACKGROUND CHECKS.]

Subdivision 1. [BACKGROUND CHECK; WHEN REQUIRED.] Before hiring a manager, an owner who hires or seeks to hire a manager shall, either personally or through an authorized representative, request the superintendent to conduct a background check under this section. An owner may employ a manager after requesting a background check under this section before receipt of the background check report.

Subd. 2. [PROCEDURES.] The superintendent shall develop procedures to enable an owner or an owner's authorized representative to request a background check to determine whether a manager is the subject of any reported conviction for a background check crime. The superintendent shall perform the background check by retrieving and reviewing data on background check crimes maintained in the CJIS computers. If the manager has resided in Minnesota for less than five years, the superintendent shall also conduct a search of the national criminal records repository including the criminal justice data communications network. The superintendent is authorized to exchange fingerprints with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for purposes of a criminal history check. The superintendent shall recover the cost of a background check through a fee charged to the owner.

Subd. 3. [BACKGROUND CHECKS; REQUIREMENTS.] The superintendent may not perform a background check under this section unless the owner or the owner's authorized representative submits a written document, signed by the manager on whom the background check is to be performed. If the manager has resided in Minnesota for less than five years, the written document submitted under this section must be accompanied by the fingerprints of the manager on whom the background check is to be performed unless the owner has previously submitted the manager's fingerprints under this section. The superintendent shall develop a standardized form to be used for this purpose which includes the following:

(1) a question asking whether the manager has ever been convicted of a background check crime and if so, requiring a description of the crime and the particulars of the conviction;

(2) a notification to the manager that the owner will request the superintendent to perform a background check under this section; and

(3) a notification to the manager of the manager's rights under subdivision 4.

Background checks performed under this section may only be requested by and provided to the owner or authorized representatives of an owner who have a need to know the information and may be used only for the purposes of sections 299C.66 to 299C.69.

Subd. 4. [MANAGER'S RIGHTS.] (a) The owner shall notify the manager of the manager's rights under paragraph (b).

(b) A manager who is the subject of a background check request has the following rights:

(i) for purposes of the manager's application to be employed by an owner or for purposes of continuing as an employee; and

(ii) to determine whether the manager has been convicted of a felony or nontraffic gross misdemeanor on which data is available to the superintendent;

(2) the right to be informed by the owner of the superintendent's response to the background check and to obtain from the owner a copy of the background check report;

(3) the right to obtain from the superintendent any record that forms the basis for the report;

(4) the right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of any information contained in the report or record pursuant to section 13.04, subdivision 4; and

(5) the right to be informed by the owner if the manager's application to be employed by the owner or to continue as an employee has been denied because of the superintendent's response.

Subd. 5. [RESPONSE OF BUREAU.] The superintendent shall respond to a background check request within a reasonable time not to exceed ten working days after receiving the signed, written document described in subdivision 3. The superintendent shall provide the owner with a copy of the manager's criminal record or a statement that the manager is not the subject of a criminal history record at the bureau.

Subd. 6. [EQUIVALENT BACKGROUND CHECK.] (a) An owner may satisfy the requirements of this section by obtaining a background check from a private business or a local law enforcement agency rather than the superintendent if the scope of the background check provided by the private business or local law enforcement agency is at least as broad as that of a background check performed by the superintendent. Local law enforcement agencies may access the criminal justice data network to perform the background check.

(b) A private business or local law enforcement agency providing a background check under this section must comply with subdivision 3, except that the notification form must indicate that the background check will be performed by the private business or local law enforcement agency using records of the superintendent and other data sources.

(c) In addition to the notification provided to the manager under paragraph (b), the owner also must notify the manager that the manager has the following rights:

(1) the right to be informed that the owner will request a background check on the manager:

(i) for purposes of the manager's application to be employed by an owner or for purposes of continuing as an employee; and

(ii) to determine whether the manager has been convicted of any felony or nontraffic gross misdemeanor crime on which data is available to the superintendent or through other data sources;

(2) the right to be informed by the owner of the content of the background check and to obtain from the owner a copy of the background check report;

(3) the right to obtain from the superintendent or any law enforcement agency or other state agency, statewide system, or political subdivision, any record provided by that entity that forms the basis for the report prepared by the private business or local law enforcement agency, and the right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of any such record under section 13.04, subdivision 4; and

(4) the right to be informed by the owner if the manager's application for employment or request to continue as an employee has been denied because of the content of the background check report.

Subd. 7. [PETTY MISDEMEANOR.] An owner who knowingly fails to request a background check under subdivision 1 is guilty of a petty misdemeanor.

Sec. 4. [299C.69] [BUREAU OF CRIMINAL APPREHENSION IMMUNITY.]

The bureau of criminal apprehension is immune from any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise arise under sections 299C.66 to 299C.69, based on the accuracy or completeness of any records it receives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation or any other state or local agency or branch of government, if the bureau acts in good faith.

(2) showing the unit to a prospective buyer or to an insurance representative;

(3) performing maintenance work; and

(4) allowing inspections by state, county, or city officials charged in the enforcement of health, housing, building, fire prevention, or housing maintenance codes.

Subd. 4. [EXCEPTION TO NOTICE REQUIREMENT.] Notwithstanding subdivision 2, a landlord may enter the premises rented by a tenant to inspect or take appropriate action without prior notice to the tenant if the landlord reasonably suspects that:

(1) immediate entry is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property because of conditions relating to maintenance, building security, or law enforcement;

(2) immediate entry is necessary to determine a tenant's safety; or

(3) immediate entry is necessary in order to comply with local ordinances regarding unlawful activity occurring within the tenant's premises.

Subd. 5. [ENTRY WITHOUT TENANT'S PRESENCE.] If the landlord enters when the tenant is not present and prior notice has not been given, the landlord shall disclose the entry by placing a written disclosure of the entry in a conspicuous place in the premises.

Subd. 6. [PENALTY.] If a landlord substantially violates subdivision 2, the tenant is entitled to a penalty which may include a rent reduction up to full rescission of the lease, recovery of any damage deposit less any amount retained under section 504.20, and up to a $100 civil penalty for each violation.

"Sec. 20. [323.49] [FOREIGN LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS.]

Subdivision 1. [STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATION.] Before transacting business in this state, a foreign limited liability partnership must file a statement of qualification as provided in subdivision 3 with the secretary of state. The statement is effective for one year from the date of filing and may be renewed for successive one-year periods as provided in subdivision 2. At the end of the one-year period, the statement automatically expires unless a renewal statement is properly filed. Section 322B.945 applies to determine whether a foreign limited liability partnership is transacting business.

Subd. 2. [RENEWAL.] The foreign limited liability partnership may file a renewal statement that complies with this section no earlier than 60 days before the expiration of the one-year period under subdivision 1. A proper renewal extends the partnership's status as a foreign limited liability partnership for another one-year period, measured from the end of the previous one-year period. At the end of any renewal period, the renewal statement automatically expires. A foreign limited liability partnership's statement may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods.

Subd. 3. [CONTENTS OF STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATION.] A foreign limited liability partnership's statement of qualification and any renewal statement must contain:

(1) the name of the partnership, including the limited liability partnership designation used in the home jurisdiction;

(2) the address of the partnership's principal place of business;

(3) the name and street address of a person located in this state that the partnership has authorized to act as the partnership's agent for service of process;

(4) the jurisdiction of organization; and

(5) the signature of a partner.

The statement or renewal must be accompanied by a certificate of status from the filing officer in the home jurisdiction and a fee of $135.

Subd. 4. [NAME OF FOREIGN LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP.] The name of the foreign limited liability partnership must meet the requirements of section 323.45.

Subd. 5. [CHANGES IN REGISTRATION INFORMATION.] If the information in a statement becomes inaccurate after it is filed, the general partnership must provide accurate information in any subsequently filed renewal statement. The inaccuracy has no effect on the status of the partnership as a foreign limited liability partnership in Minnesota.

Subd. 6. [VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF STATUS.] A partnership may, at any time, withdraw its statement of qualification by filing with the secretary of state a withdrawal statement that contains the following:

(1) the name of the partnership;

(2) a statement that the partnership is withdrawing its current statement of qualification;

(3) an acknowledgment that the withdrawal ends the partnership's qualification as a foreign limited liability partnership in Minnesota; and

(4) the signature of a partner.

The withdrawal statement may state a delayed effective date, if that date is before the expiration date of the partnership's current statement of qualification. If the withdrawal statement does not state an effective date, the statement is effective when filed.

Subd. 7. [TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS WITHOUT QUALIFICATION.] (a) A foreign limited liability partnership transacting business in this state may not maintain any action, suit, or proceeding in any court of this state until it has filed a statement of qualification.

(b) The failure of a foreign limited liability partnership to file a statement of qualification does not impair the validity of any contract or act of the foreign limited liability partnership or prevent the foreign limited liability partnership from defending any action, suit, or proceeding in any court of this state.

(c) A foreign limited liability partnership, by transacting business in this state without a statement of qualification, appoints the secretary of state as its agent on whom any notice, process, or demand may be served.

(d) A partner of a foreign limited liability partnership is not liable for the debts and obligations of the foreign limited liability partnership solely by reason of the foreign limited liability partnership's having transacted business in this state without a valid statement of qualification.

Subd. 8. [TRANSITION.] Any foreign limited liability partnership which received a certificate of authority under chapter 322B prior to the effective date of this act shall be deemed to be in compliance with this section until December 29, 1995. After that date, a certificate of authority issued under chapter 322B and received by a foreign limited liability partnership shall have no further effect."

Subd. 7. When any aggrieved person obtains a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction regardless of whether the judgment has been discharged by a bankruptcy court against an individual licensed under this chapter, on grounds of fraudulent, deceptive, or dishonest practices, or conversion of trust funds arising directly out of any transaction when the judgment debtor was licensed and performed acts for which a license is required under this chapter, or performed acts permitted by section 327B.04, subdivision 5, the aggrieved person may, upon the judgment becoming final, and upon termination of all proceedings, including reviews and appeals, file a verified application in the court in which the judgment was entered for. The application shall state with specificity the grounds upon which the application seeks to recover from the fund, and request an order directing payment out of the fund of the amount of actual and direct out of pocket loss in the transaction, but excluding any attorney's fees, interest on the loss and on any judgment obtained as a result of the loss, up to the sum of $150,000 of the amount unpaid upon the judgment, provided that nothing in this chapter shall be construed to obligate the fund for more than $150,000 per claimant, per transaction, subject to the limitations set forth in subdivision 14, regardless of the number of persons aggrieved or parcels of real estate involved in the transaction, provided that regardless of the number of claims against a licensee, nothing in this chapter may obligate the fund for more than $250,000 per licensee. An aggrieved person who has a cause of action under section 80A.23 shall first seek recovery as provided in section 80A.05, subdivision 5,

before the commissioner may order payment from the recovery fund. For purposes of this section, persons who are joint tenants or tenants in common are deemed to be a single claimant. A copy of the verified application shall be served upon the commissioner and upon the judgment debtor, and a certificate or affidavit of service filed with the court. For the purpose of this section, "aggrieved person" shall not include a licensee unless (1) the licensee is acting in the capacity of principal in the sale of interests in real property owned by the licensee; or (2) the licensee is acting in the capacity of principal in the purchase of interests in real property to be owned by the licensee. Under no circumstances shall a licensee be entitled to payment under this section for the loss of a commission or similar fee.

For the purposes of this section, recovery is limited to transactions where the property involved is intended for the direct personal habitation or commercial use of the buyer.

Except for securities permitted to be sold by a licensee pursuant to section 82.19, subdivision 7, for any action commenced after July 1, 1993, recovery under this section is not available where the buyer's participation is for investment purposes only, and is limited to providing capital to fund the transaction."

"Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 326.975, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1. [GENERALLY.] (a) In addition to any other fees, each applicant for a license under sections 326.83 to 326.98 shall pay a fee to the contractor's recovery fund. The contractor's recovery fund is created in the state treasury and must be administered by the commissioner in the manner and subject to all the requirements and limitations provided by section 82.34 with the following exceptions:

(1) each licensee who renews a license shall pay in addition to the appropriate renewal fee an additional fee which shall be credited to the contractor's recovery fund. The amount of the fee shall be based on the licensee's gross annual receipts for the licensee's most recent fiscal year preceding the renewal, on the following scale:

Fee Gross Receipts

$100 under $1,000,000

$150 $1,000,000 to $5,000,000

$200 over $5,000,000

Any person who receives a new license shall pay a fee based on the same scale;

(2) the sole purpose of this fund is to compensate any aggrieved owner or lessee of residential property who obtains a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction against a licensee licensed under section 326.84, on grounds of fraudulent, deceptive, or dishonest practices, conversion of funds, or failure of performance arising directly out of any transaction when the judgment debtor was licensed and performed any of the activities enumerated under section 326.83, subdivision 19, on the owner's residential property or on residential property rented by the lessee, or on new residential construction which was never occupied prior to purchase by the owner, or which was occupied by the licensee for less than one year prior to purchase by the owner, and which cause of action arose on or after April 1, 1994; and

(3) nothing may obligate the fund for more than $50,000 per claimant, nor more than $50,000 per licensee; and

(4) nothing may obligate the fund for claims based on a cause of action that arose before the licensee paid the recovery fund fee set in paragraph (a), clause (1), or as provided in section 326.945, subdivision 3.

(b) Should the commissioner pay from the contractor's recovery fund any amount in settlement of a claim or toward satisfaction of a judgment against a licensee, the license shall be automatically suspended upon the effective date of an order by the court authorizing payment from the fund. No licensee shall be granted reinstatement until the licensee has repaid in full, plus interest at the rate of 12 percent a year, twice the amount paid from the fund on the licensee's account, and has obtained a surety bond issued by an insurer authorized to transact business in this state in the amount of at least $40,000.

Sec. 7. [INTENT TO CLARIFY.]

By making the amendment in section 6, the legislature is clarifying the original intent of the contractor's recovery fund law, Laws 1993, chapter 245, section 36, when it was enacted. The contractor's recovery fund replaces an earlier bonding requirement set forth in Minnesota Statutes, sections 326.84 and 326.945. Approximately one-half of the

residential building contractor licensees paid into the contractor's recovery fund on March 31, 1994. The remaining one-half are, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 326.945, still subject to the bonding requirement until March 31, 1995, with an option to pay into the contractor's recovery fund earlier.

It was intended that the contractor's recovery fund be available to pay claims against only those licensees who had paid into the contractor's recovery fund, and not against those still subject to the bonding requirement."
