PUBLIC
SAFETY OFFICERS
Section 1. Minnesota
Statutes 2002, section 299A.42, is amended to read:
299A.42 [PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER'S BENEFIT ACCOUNT.]
The public safety officer's benefit account is created in the
state treasury. Money in the account
consists of money transferred and appropriated to that account. Money in the account that is not
expended in the fiscal year in which it is transferred or appropriated
does not revert to the general fund until claims for reimbursement under
section 299A.465 that are submitted in that fiscal year are either
paid or denied.
[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This
section is effective the day following final enactment.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2002,
section 299A.44, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [PAYMENT
REQUIRED.] (a) On certification to the governor by the commissioner of public
safety that a public safety officer employed within this state has been killed
in the line of duty, leaving a spouse or one or more eligible dependents,
the commissioner of finance shall pay $100,000 from the public safety officer's
benefit account, as follows:
(1) if there is no dependent child, to the spouse;
(2) if there is no spouse, to the dependent child or children
in equal shares;
(3) if there are both a spouse and one or more dependent
children, one-half to the spouse and one-half to the child or children, in
equal shares;
(4) if there is no surviving spouse or dependent child or
children, to the parent or parents dependent for support on the decedent, in
equal shares; or
(5) if there is no surviving spouse,
dependent child, or dependent parent, then no payment may be made from the
public safety officer's benefit fund to the public safety officer's estate.
(b) If there are both a spouse and one or more dependent
children under age 18, the spouse, at the spouse's discretion, may spend a
maximum of one-third of a child's share on medical or dental treatment for the
child or the child's education. Expenditures under this paragraph on behalf of
a child do not diminish the shares of any other children. In addition, a spouse, at the spouse's
discretion, may expend money from a child's share to pay state and federal
taxes on any interest accrued on the share.
[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This
section is effective retroactively from July 1, 2002.
Sec. 3. Minnesota

read:
Subd. 4. [PUBLIC
EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT.] A public employer subject to this section may annually
apply to the commissioner of public safety for reimbursement to help defray
a portion of its costs of complying with this section. Applications
must be submitted by August 1 for claims relating to the preceding
fiscal year. The commissioner shall
provide reimbursement to the public employer out of the public safety officer's
benefit account. Reimbursement may
be less than the total claim and may be prorated based on the number of
eligible peace officers, firefighters, and qualifying dependents. An individual share must not exceed
the actual cost to a public employer to provide coverage for an
individual under this section.
[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This
section is effective the day following final enactment.
Sec. 4.
[APPROPRIATION.]
$344,000 is appropriated from the general fund in fiscal
year 2003 to the commissioner of public safety for the purposes of

commissioner may give a written opinion on any question relating to public
access to government data, rights of subjects of data, or classification of
data under this chapter or other Minnesota statutes governing government data
practices. Upon request of any person

subject of government data or right to have access to government data.
(b) Upon request of a body

opinion under this paragraph must pay the commissioner a fee of $200.
Money received by the commissioner under this paragraph is appropriated

chapter 13D or person requesting the opinion notice of the decision
not to issue the opinion within five days of receipt of the request. If this notice is not given, the commissioner

(d) For good cause and upon written notice to the person
requesting the opinion, the commissioner may extend this deadline for one
additional 30-day period. The notice
must state the reason for extending the deadline. The state agency, statewide system, government entity
or political subdivision the members of a body subject to
chapter 13D must be provided a reasonable opportunity to explain the
reasons for its decision regarding the data or how they perform their duties
under chapter 13D. The

Opinions issued by the commissioner under this section are not binding on the state

person's rights under this chapter or obtain access to data may bring an action
in district court to compel compliance with this chapter and may recover costs
and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the
court. If the court determines that an
action brought under this subdivision is frivolous and without merit and a basis
in fact, it may award reasonable costs and attorney fees to the responsible
authority. If the court issues an order
to compel compliance under this subdivision, the court may impose a civil
penalty of up to $300 against the government entity. This penalty is payable to the state general fund and is in

The matter shall be heard as soon as possible. In an action involving a request for government data under
section 13.03 or 13.04, the court may inspect in camera the
government data in dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in public and in a
manner that protects the security of data classified as not public. If the court issues an order to compel
compliance under this subdivision, the court shall forward a copy of the order
to the commissioner of administration.
(b) In determining whether to assess a civil penalty under this
subdivision, the court shall consider whether the government entity has
substantially complied with general data practices under this chapter,
including but not limited to, whether the government entity has:

section 13.02, subdivision 16;
(2) designated a data practices compliance official under

(3) prepared the public document that names the responsible
authority and describes the records and data on individuals that are maintained
by the government entity under section 13.05, subdivision 1;
(4) developed public access procedures under
section 13.03, subdivision 2; procedures to guarantee the rights of
data subjects under section 13.05, subdivision 8; and procedures to
ensure that data on individuals are accurate and complete and to safeguard the
data's security under section 13.05, subdivision 5;
(5) sought an oral, written, or electronic opinion from the
commissioner of administration related to the matter at issue and acted in
conformity with that opinion or acted in conformity with an opinion issued
under section 13.072 that was sought by another person; or
(6) provided ongoing training to government entity personnel
who respond to requests under this chapter.
(c) The court shall award reasonable attorney fees to a prevailing
plaintiff who has brought an action under this subdivision if the government
entity that is the defendant in the action was also the subject of a
written opinion issued under section 13.072 and the court finds
that the opinion is directly related to the cause of action being
litigated and that the government entity did not act in conformity with
the opinion.

person or entity receives a number from a third party, that person or
entity is under no duty to inquire or otherwise determine

number and may print that number on materials mailed to the individual,
unless the person or entity receiving the number has actual knowledge
that the number is or includes the individual's social security number.
Notwithstanding clauses (1) to (5), social security numbers
may be included in applications and forms sent by mail, including
documents sent as part of an application or enrollment process, or to
establish, amend, or terminate an account, contract, or policy, or to
confirm the accuracy of the social security number. Nothing in this paragraph authorizes

Except as provided in subdivision 5, this section
applies only to the use of social security numbers on or after July 1,
2005.
