(a) By July 1 of each year, the

145.4133. Each report shall provide the statistics for all previous calendar
years, adjusted to reflect any additional information from late or corrected
reports. The commissioner shall ensure that none of the information included in
the public reports can reasonably lead to identification of an individual having
performed or having had an abortion. All data included on
the forms under sections 145.4131 to 145.4133 must be included in the public
report. The commissioner shall submit the report to the senate health care
committee and the house health and human services committee. (b) The commissioner may, by rules
adopted under chapter 14, alter the submission dates established under sections
145.4131 to 145.4133 for administrative convenience, fiscal savings, or other
valid reason, provided that physicians and the commissioner of health submit the
required information once each year and the commissioner issues a report once
each year.
Sec. 17. [145.4135] [ENFORCEMENT; PENALTIES.]
(a) A physician who fails to
submit the required forms under sections 145.4131 and 145.4132 within 30 days
following the due date is subject to a late fee of $500 for each 30-day period,
or portion thereof, that the forms are overdue. A physician required to report

action brought by the commissioner, be directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction to submit a complete report within a period stated by court order
or be subject to sanctions for civil contempt.
(b) If the commissioner fails to
issue the public report required under this section, or fails in any way to
enforce this section, a group of ten or more citizens of the state may seek an
injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction against the commissioner
requiring that a complete report be issued within a period stated by court order
or requiring that enforcement action be taken. Failure to abide by an injunction
shall subject the commissioner to sanctions for civil contempt.
(c) A physician who knowingly or
recklessly submits a false report under this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
(d) The commissioner may take
reasonable steps to ensure compliance with sections 145.4131 to 145.4133 and to
verify data provided, including but not limited to inspection of places where
abortions are performed in accordance with chapter 14.
Sec. 18. [145.4136] [SEVERABILITY.]
If any one or more provision,
section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of sections 145.4131 to
145.4135, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is found to
be unconstitutional, the same is hereby declared to be severable and the balance
of sections 145.4131 to 145.4135 shall remain effective notwithstanding such
unconstitutionality. The legislature hereby declares that it would have passed
sections 145.4131 to 145.4135, and each provision, section, subsection,
sentence, clause, phrase, or word thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one
or more provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word be
declared unconstitutional."

issue the public report required under this section, or fails in any way to
enforce this section, a group of ten or more citizens of the state may seek an
injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction against the commissioner
requiring that a complete report be issued within a period stated by court order
or requiring that enforcement action be taken. Failure to abide by an injunction
shall subject the commissioner to sanctions for civil contempt.
(c) A physician who knowingly or
recklessly submits a false report under this section is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
(d) The commissioner may take
reasonable steps to ensure compliance with sections 145.4131 to 145.4133 and to

If any one or more provision,
section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of sections 145.4131 to
145.4135, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is found to
be unconstitutional, the same is hereby declared to be severable and the balance

unconstitutionality. The legislature hereby declares that it would have passed
sections 145.4131 to 145.4135, and each provision, section, subsection,

(a) "Asset" means cash and other personal property, as well as any real property, that a family or individual owns which has monetary value.
(b) "Homestead" means the home
that is owned by, and is the usual residence of, the family or individual,
together with the surrounding property which is not separated from the home by
intervening property owned by others. Public rights-of-way, such as roads that
run through the surrounding property and separate it from the home, will not
affect the exemption of the property. "Usual residence" includes the home from
which the family or individual is temporarily absent due to illness, employment,
or education, or because the home is temporarily not habitable due to casualty
or natural disaster.
(c) "Net asset" means the
asset's fair market value minus any encumbrances, including, but not limited to,
liens and mortgages.
Subd. 2. [LIMIT ON TOTAL
ASSETS.] (a) Effective April 1, 1997, or upon federal
approval, whichever is later, in order to be eligible for the MinnesotaCare
program, a household of two or more persons must not own more than $30,000 in
total net assets, and a household of one person must not own more than $15,000
in total net assets.
(b) For purposes of this
subdivision, total net assets include all assets, with the following
exceptions:
(1) a homestead is not
considered;
(2) household goods and personal
effects are not considered; and
(3) capital and operating assets
of a trade or business up to $200,000 in net assets are not considered.
(c) If an asset excluded under
paragraph (b) has a negative value, the negative value shall be subtracted from
the total net assets under paragraph (a).
Subd. 3. [DOCUMENTATION.] Assets owned by the individual or family must be reported.
The commissioner will perform random audits to verify reported assets.
Subd. 4. [PENALTIES.] Individuals or families who are found to have knowingly
misreported the amount of their assets as described in this section shall be
subject to the penalties in section 256.98. The commissioner shall present
recommendations on additional penalties to the 1998 legislature.
Sec. 12. [256.9371] [PENALTIES.]
Whoever obtains or attempts to
obtain, or aids or abets any person to obtain by means of a willfully false
statement or representation, or by the intentional withholding or concealment of
a material fact, or by impersonation, or other fraudulent device:
(1) benefits under the
MinnesotaCare program to which the person is not entitled; or
(2) benefits under the
MinnesotaCare program greater than that to which the person is reasonably
entitled;
shall be considered to have
violated section 256.98, and shall be subject to both the criminal and civil
