"Section 1. [LIVESTOCK PROCESSING MARKETS TASK FORCE.]

Subdivision 1. [PURPOSE.] Recent changes in the Minnesota agricultural livestock industry, particularly in swine production, have resulted in fewer producers who deliver to processors greatly increased numbers of animals. In

many cases these producers are organized as authorized farm corporations, as provided by recent amendments to Minnesota's corporate farming law. There is growing concern as to whether smaller producers who choose not to join large production corporations will find markets for their livestock eliminated or greatly diminished. With reduced markets and lessened competition, the smaller producers are left at a critical economic disadvantage. The study, legislative report, and legislative recommendations authorized by this section will identify ways to assure that competitive markets remain for small and medium-sized producers.

Subd. 2. [CREATION; MEMBERSHIP.] (a) There is hereby created a livestock processing markets task force with ten members appointed as follows:

(1) the chairs of the agriculture policy committees of the Minnesota senate and house of representatives, or their designees;

(2) two members of the Minnesota house of representatives appointed by the speaker of the house;

(3) one member of the Minnesota house of representatives appointed by the minority leader of the house;

(4) two members of the Minnesota senate appointed by the senate committee on rules and administration;

(5) one member of the Minnesota senate appointed by the minority leader of the senate;

(6) one member with education and experience in the area of agricultural economics appointed by the governor of Minnesota; and

(7) one member who is the operator of a production agriculture farm in Minnesota appointed by the governor.

(b) Each of the appointing authorities must make their respective appointments not later than June 15, 1995.

(c) Citizen members of the task force may be reimbursed for expenses as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 15.059, subdivision 6.

(d) The first meeting of the task force must be called and convened by the chairs of the agriculture policy committees of the senate and the house of representatives. Task force members must then elect a permanent chair from among the task force members.

Subd. 3. [CHARGE.] The task force must examine current and projected impacts of consolidation within the livestock production industry and its effect on the availability of competitive markets for small and medium-sized producers who choose not to become part of corporate enterprises.

Subd. 4. [RESOURCES; STAFF SUPPORT; CONTRACT SERVICES.] The commissioner of agriculture shall provide necessary resources and staff support for the meetings, hearings, activities, and report of the task force. To the extent the task force determines it appropriate to contract with nonstate providers for research or analytical services, the commissioner shall serve as the fiscal agent for the task force.

Subd. 5. [PUBLIC HEARINGS.] The task force shall hold at least four public hearings on the issue of access to markets by small and medium-sized producers of livestock. At least three of the hearings must be held in greater Minnesota.

Subd. 6. [REPORT.] Not later than March 15, 1996, the task force shall report to the legislature on the findings of its study. The report must include recommendations for improvements in Minnesota Statutes that are in the best interests of both large and small livestock producers in the state.

Subd. 7. [EXPIRATION.] The livestock processing markets task force expires 45 days after its report and recommendations are delivered to the legislature or on June 1, 1996, whichever date is earlier.

Sec. 2. [APPROPRIATION; LIVESTOCK PROCESSING MARKETS TASK FORCE.]

$30,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of agriculture to provide staff and research support for the livestock processing markets task force.

Sec. 3. [EFFECTIVE DATE.]

Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment."

Subdivision 1. [BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS.] Before hiring an individual who is applying for a position in a school, the hiring authority of a school shall conduct on the applicant a criminal records check of the state criminal records repository. The hiring authority shall also determine whether the applicant has been the subject of a substantiated report of child maltreatment under section 626.556 as provided for under subdivision 2. If the applicant has resided in Minnesota for less than ten years, the check must also include a criminal records check of information from state law enforcement agencies in the states where the person resided during the ten years before moving to Minnesota, and of the national criminal records repository including the criminal justice data communications network. The applicant's failure to cooperate with the hiring authority in conducting the records check is reasonable cause to deny the application. The hiring authority may not release the results of the record check to any person except the applicant.

Subd. 2. [CHILD MALTREATMENT REPORTS.] In order to determine if an applicant has been the subject of a substantiated report of child maltreatment under section 626.556, the hiring authority shall contact the commissioner of human services and the local welfare agency in any county in which the applicant has resided or been employed in the previous ten years and any other county of which the hiring authority is aware in which the applicant has resided or been employed. The hiring authority shall request that the commissioner and each county agency contacted search their records and forward any records in which the applicant is the subject of a substantiated report of child maltreatment. Notwithstanding section 626.556, subdivision 11, a county or the commissioner shall provide a hiring authority, upon request, with any reports of substantiated child maltreatment under section 626.556 by the applicant. The commissioner of human services and the county agency shall respond to the commissioner's inquiry within seven days after receiving the request.
