[LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO PUBLIC.] (a) The law enforcement agency in the area where the sex offender resides, expects to reside, is employed, or is regularly found, shall disclose to the public any information regarding the offender contained in the report forwarded to the agency under subdivision 3, paragraph (f), that is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the offender's dangerousness, consistent with the guidelines in paragraph (b). The extent of the information disclosed and the community to whom disclosure is made must relate to the level of danger posed by the offender, to the offender's pattern of offending behavior, and to the need of community members for information to enhance their individual and collective safety.

(b) The law enforcement agency shall employ the following guidelines in determining the scope of disclosure made under this subdivision:

(1) if the offender is assigned to risk level I, the agency may maintain information regarding the offender within the agency and may disclose it to other law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the agency may disclose the information to any victims of or witnesses to the offense committed by the offender. The agency shall disclose the information to victims of the offense committed by the offender who have requested disclosure;

(2) if the offender is assigned to risk level II, the agency also may disclose the information to agencies and groups that the offender is likely to encounter for the purpose of securing those institutions and protecting individuals in their care while they are on or near the premises of the institution. These agencies and groups include the staff

members of public and private educational institutions, day care establishments, and establishments and organizations that primarily serve individuals likely to be victimized by the offender. The agency also may disclose the information to individuals the agency believes are likely to be victimized by the offender. The agency's belief shall be based on the offender's pattern of offending or victim preference as documented in the information provided by the department of corrections or human services;

(3) if the offender is assigned to risk level III, the agency shall disclose the information to the persons and entities described in clauses (1) and (2) and to other members of the community whom the offender is likely to encounter, unless the law enforcement agency determines that public safety would be compromised by the disclosure or that a more limited disclosure is necessary to protect the identity of the victim.

Notwithstanding the assignment of a sex offender to risk level II or III, a law enforcement agency may not make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or (3), if: the offender is placed or resides in a residential facility. However, if an offender is placed or resides in a residential facility, the offender and the head of the facility shall designate the offender's likely residence upon release from the facility and the head of the facility shall notify the commissioner of corrections or the commissioner of human services of the offender's likely residence at least 14 days before the offender's scheduled release date. The commissioner shall give this information to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the offender's likely residence. The head of the residential facility also shall notify the commissioner of corrections or human services within 48 hours after finalizing the offender's approved relocation plan to a permanent residence. Within five days after receiving this notification, the appropriate commissioner shall give to the appropriate law enforcement agency all relevant information the commissioner has concerning the offender, including information on the risk factors in the offender's history and the risk level to which the offender was assigned. After receiving this information, the law enforcement agency shall make the disclosures permitted or required by clause (2) or (3), as appropriate.

(c) As used in paragraph (b), clauses (2) and (3), "likely to encounter" means that:

(1) the organizations or community members are in a location or in close proximity to a location where the offender lives or is employed, or which the offender visits or is likely to visit on a regular basis, other than the location of the offender's outpatient treatment program; and

(2) the types of interaction which ordinarily occur at that location and other circumstances indicate that contact with the offender is reasonably certain.

(d) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision shall make a good faith effort to make the notification within 14 days of receipt of a confirmed address from the department of corrections indicating that the offender will be, or has been, released from confinement, or accepted for supervision, or has moved to a new address and will reside at the address indicated. If a change occurs in the release plan, this notification provision does not require an extension of the release date.

(e) A law enforcement agency or official who discloses information under this subdivision shall not disclose the identity or any identifying characteristics of the victims of or witnesses to the offender's offenses.

(f) A law enforcement agency shall continue to disclose information on an offender as required by this subdivision for as long as the offender is required to register under section 243.166.

(g) A law enforcement agency that is disclosing information on an offender assigned to risk level III to the public under this subdivision shall inform the commissioner of corrections what information is being disclosed and forward this information to the commissioner within two days of the agency's determination. The commissioner shall post this information on the Internet as required in subdivision 4b. 

Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 244.052, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 4b. [LEVEL III OFFENDERS; MANDATORY POSTING OF INFORMATION ON INTERNET.] The commissioner of corrections shall create and maintain an Internet Web site and post on the site the information about offenders assigned to risk level III forwarded by law enforcement agencies under subdivision 4, paragraph (g). This information must be updated in a timely manner to account for changes in the offender's address and maintained for the period of time that the offender remains subject to community notification as a level III offender.

Sec. 13. [299C.093] [DATABASE OF REGISTERED PREDATORY OFFENDERS.]

The superintendent of the bureau of criminal apprehension shall maintain a computerized data system relating to individuals required to register as predatory offenders under section 243.166. To the degree feasible, the system must include the information required to be provided under section 243.166, subdivision 4, and indicate the time period that the person is required to register. The superintendent shall maintain this information in a manner that ensures that it is readily available to law enforcement agencies. This information is private data on individuals under section 13.02, subdivision 12, but may be used for law enforcement and corrections purposes.

The court shall set forth in the order the name and age of the applicant's spouse and each child of the applicant, if any, and shall state a description of the lands, if any, in which the applicant and the spouse and children, if any, claim to have an interest. The court administrator shall file such order, and record the same in the judgment book. If lands be described therein, a certified copy of the order shall be filed for record, by the applicant, with the county recorder of each county wherein any of the same are situated. Before doing so the court administrator shall present the same to the county auditor who shall enter the change of name in the auditor's official records and note upon the instrument, over an official signature, the words "change of name recorded." Any such order shall not be filed, nor any certified copy thereof be issued, until the applicant shall have paid to the county recorder and court administrator the fee required by law. No application shall be denied on the basis of the marital status of the applicant.

(b) When a person applies for a name change, the court shall determine whether the person has been convicted of a felony in this or any other state. If so, the court shall, within ten days after the name change application is granted, report the name change to the bureau of criminal apprehension. The person whose name is changed shall also report the change to the bureau of criminal apprehension within ten days. The court granting the name change application must explain this reporting duty in its order. Any person required to report the person's name change to the bureau of criminal apprehension who fails to report the name change as required under this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

Sec. 2. [259.115] [PENALTY.]

A person who has been convicted of a felony or who has a pending felony charge in this state or another state and who, upon marriage, uses a different surname from that used before marriage without complying with section 259.13 is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

Sec. 3. [259.13] [CONVICTED FELONS; NAME CHANGES.]

[PROCEDURE FOR SEEKING NAME CHANGE.] A person convicted of a felony under Minnesota law or the law of some other state or federal jurisdiction must serve a notice of application for a name change and a certified copy of the person's felony convictions on the prosecuting authority that obtained the felony conviction against the person. The notice of application for name change must also be sent via first class mail to the victim of the crime, if any; the person's corrections agent, if any; and the law enforcement agency that investigated the charge that resulted in the felony conviction. This section applies to a name change issued through one of the following procedures:

Subd. 2. [OBJECTION BY PROSECUTING AUTHORITY.] At any time within 30 days from the date of service of the notice of application for a name change under this section, the prosecuting authority may file an objection to the application for a name change with the district court. The prosecuting authority may object to the name change request on the basis that the request aims to defraud, mislead, or harass, is not made in good faith, will cause injury to a person, or will compromise public safety. If the prosecuting authority files an objection to the application for a name change within this time period, the court shall not grant the name change request, and the county shall not allow the name change as part of a marriage license.

Subd. 3. [MOTION TO GRANT NAME CHANGE REQUEST.] A person who seeks a name change may contest the prosecuting authority's objection by filing a motion with the court in the county of the prosecuting authority for an order permitting the requested name change. Except as provided in subdivision 4, no name change shall be granted unless the person requesting the name change proves by clear and convincing evidence that the name change request is not based upon an intent to defraud, mislead, or harass, is made in good faith, will not cause injury to a person, and will not compromise public safety.

Subd. 4. [CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO NAME CHANGE.] The court must grant a name change if failure to allow it would infringe on a constitutional right of the person after balancing the person's constitutional right against the harm to public safety that may result from the name change.

Subd. 5. [COSTS.] A person seeking a name change under this section may proceed in forma pauperis only when the failure to allow the name change would infringe upon a constitutional right.

Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 517.08, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:

Subd. 1a. Application for a marriage license shall be made upon a form provided for the purpose and shall contain the following information:

(2) their post office addresses and county and state of residence;

(3) their full ages;

(4) if either party has previously been married, the party's married name, and the date, place and court in which the marriage was dissolved or annulled or the date and place of death of the former spouse;

(5) if either party is a minor, the name and address of the minor's parents or guardian;

(6) whether the parties are related to each other, and, if so, their relationship;

(7) the name and date of birth of any child of which both parties are parents, born before the making of the application, unless their parental rights and the parent and child relationship with respect to the child have been terminated;

(8) address of the bride and groom after the marriage to which the court administrator shall send a certified copy of the marriage certificate; and

(9) the full names the parties will have after marriage and the parties' social security numbers. The social security numbers must be collected for the application but must not appear on the marriage license; and 

(10) if one or both of the parties to the marriage license has been convicted of a felony as described in section 259.13, and the person's civil rights have not yet been restored, the parties shall provide to the county proof of service upon the prosecuting authority, as required by section 259.13.

Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 517.08, subdivision 1b, is amended to read:

Subd. 1b. [TERM OF LICENSE; FEE.] (a) The court administrator shall examine upon oath the party applying for a license relative to the legality of the contemplated marriage. If at the expiration of a five-day period, on being satisfied that there is no legal impediment to it, including the restriction contained in section 259.13, the court administrator shall issue the license, containing the full names of the parties before and after marriage, and county and state of residence, with the district court seal attached, and make a record of the date of issuance. The license shall be valid for a period of six months. In case of emergency or extraordinary circumstances, a judge of the district court of the county in which the application is made, may authorize the license to be issued at any time before the expiration of the five days. The court administrator shall collect from the applicant a fee of $70 for administering the oath, issuing, recording, and filing all papers required, and preparing and transmitting to the state registrar of vital statistics the reports of marriage required by this section. If the license should not be used within the period of six months due to illness or other extenuating circumstances, it may be surrendered to the court administrator for cancellation, and in that case a new license shall issue upon request of the parties of the original license without fee. A court administrator who knowingly issues or signs a marriage license in any manner other than as provided in this section shall pay to the parties aggrieved an amount not to exceed $1,000.

(b) If section 259.13 applies to the request for a marriage license, the court administrator shall grant the marriage license without the requested name change. Alternatively, the court administrator may delay the granting of the marriage license until the party with the felony conviction certifies under oath that 30 days have passed since service of the notice for a name change upon the prosecuting authority and no objection has been filed under section 259.13, or until the party seeking the name change provides a certified copy of the court order granting the name change. The parties seeking the marriage license shall have the right to choose to have the license granted without the name change or to delay the granting of the license pending further action on the name change request.

Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 518.27, is amended to read:

518.27 [NAME OF PARTY.]

Except as provided in section 259.13, in the final decree of dissolution or legal separation the court shall, if requested by a party, change the name of that party to another name as the party requests. The court shall grant a request unless it finds that there is an intent to defraud or mislead, unless the name change is subject to section 259.13, in which case the requirements of that section apply. The party's new name shall be so designated in the final decree.

Sec. 7. [EFFECTIVE DATE.]

Sections 1 and 3 to 6 are effective August 1, 2000, and apply to proceedings for a name change commenced on or after that date. Section 2 is effective August 1, 2000, and applies to crimes committed on or after that date.
