Tactical emergency response operations include execution of high risk search and arrest warrants, incidents of terrorism, hostage rescue, and any other tactical deployments involving high risk circumstances.

In licensing a relative, the commissioner shall consider the importance of maintaining the child's relationship with relatives as an additional significant factor in determining whether to set aside a licensing disqualifier under section 245C.22, or to grant a variance of licensing requirements under sections 245C.21 to 245C.27.

 

(b) When the county or private child placing agency is processing an application for child foster care licensure of a relative as defined in sections 260B.007, subdivision 12, or 260C.007, subdivision 27, the county agency or child placing agency must explain the licensing process to the prospective licensee, including the background study process and the procedure for reconsideration of an initial disqualification for licensure. The county or private child placing agency must also provide the prospective relative licensee with information regarding appropriate options for legal representation in the pertinent geographic area. If a relative is initially disqualified under section 245C.14, the county or child-placing agency must provide written notice of the reasons for the disqualification and the right to request a reconsideration by the commissioner as required under section 245C.17.

 

(c) The commissioner shall maintain licensing data so that activities related to applications and licensing actions for relative foster care providers may be distinguished from other child foster care settings."

The bill was passed and its title agreed to.

 

 

The Speaker resumed the Chair.

 

 

S. F. No. 1368 was reported to the House.

 

 

Peterson, A.; Thissen; Kahn; Ellison; Hornstein and Hausman moved to amend S. F. No. 1368 as follows:

 

Page 20, after line 10, insert:

 

"ARTICLE 3

 

RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARDS

 

Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 216B.1691, is amended to read:

 

216B.1691 [RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES.]

 

Subdivision 1. [DEFINITIONS.] (a) Unless otherwise specified in law, "eligible energy technology" means an energy technology that:

 

(1) generates electricity from the following renewable energy sources: solar; wind; hydroelectric with a capacity of less than 60 megawatts; hydrogen, provided that after January 1, 2010, the hydrogen must be generated from the resources listed in this clause; or biomass, which includes an energy recovery facility used to capture the heat value of mixed municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel from mixed municipal solid waste as a primary fuel; and

 

(2) was not mandated by Laws 1994, chapter 641, or by commission order issued pursuant to that chapter prior to August 1, 2001.


Journal of the House - 63rd Day - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - Top of Page 4198

(b) "Electric utility" means a public utility providing electric service, a generation and transmission cooperative electric association, or a municipal power agency.

 

(c) "Total retail electric sales" means the kilowatt-hours of electricity sold in a year by an electric utility to retail customers of the electric utility or to a distribution utility for distribution to the retail customers of the distribution utility.

 

Subd. 2. [ELIGIBLE ENERGY OBJECTIVES.] (a) Each electric utility shall make a good faith effort to generate or procure sufficient electricity generated by an eligible energy technology to provide its retail consumers, or the retail customers of a distribution utility to which the electric utility provides wholesale electric service, so that:

 

(1) commencing in 2005, at least one percent of the electric utility's total retail electric sales is generated by eligible energy technologies;

 

(2) the amount provided under clause (1) is increased by one percent of the utility's total retail electric sales each year until 2015 2010; and

 

(3) ten five percent of the electric energy provided to retail customers in Minnesota by 2010 is generated by eligible energy technologies.

 

(b) Of the eligible energy technology generation required under paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (2), not less than 0.5 percent of the energy must be generated by biomass energy technologies, including an energy recovery facility used to capture the heat value of mixed municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel from mixed municipal solid waste as a primary fuel, by 2005. By 2010, one percent of the eligible technology generation required under paragraph (a), clauses (1) and (2), shall be generated by biomass energy technologies. An energy recovery facility used to capture the heat value of mixed municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel from mixed municipal solid waste, with a power sales agreement in effect as of May 29, 2003, that terminates after December 31, 2010, does not qualify as an eligible energy technology unless the agreement provides for rate adjustment in the event the facility qualifies as a renewable energy source.

 

Subd. 2a. [ELIGIBLE ENERGY STANDARD.] Each electric utility shall generate or procure sufficient electricity generated by an eligible energy technology to provide its retail customers, or the retail customers of a distribution utility to which the electric utility provides wholesale electric service, so that at least the following percentages of the electric utility's total retail electric sales is generated by eligible energy technologies by the end of the year indicated:

 

(1) 2013 ten percent

(2) 2015 15 percent

(3) 2020 20 percent

 

To be counted toward satisfying the standard, energy must be generated by a facility originally placed in service after January 1, 1975. The commission must delay or modify the standard for an electric utility if it finds that compliance with a standard is not in the public interest because compliance will either produce undesirable impacts on the reliability of the utility's system or on the utility's ratepayers or if it finds that compliance is not technically feasible. In determining whether a standard must be delayed or modified, the commission must consider an electric utility's load growth as forecasted in its integrated resource plan filed under section 216B.2422. The standard is both an individual electric utility standard and a statewide standard so that by the end of 2020 at least 20 percent of the electric energy provided to retail customers in Minnesota is generated by eligible energy technologies.


Journal of the House - 63rd Day - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - Top of Page 4199

(c) Subd. 2b. [COMMISSION ORDER.] By June 1, 2004, and as needed thereafter, the commission shall issue an order detailing the criteria and standards by which it will measure an electric utility's efforts to meet the renewable energy objectives and standards of this section to determine whether the utility is making the required good faith effort and is meeting the standards. In this order, the commission shall include criteria and standards that protect against undesirable impacts on the reliability of the utility's system and economic impacts on the utility's ratepayers and that consider technical feasibility.

 

(d) In its order under paragraph (c), the commission shall provide for a weighted scale of how energy produced by various eligible energy technologies shall count toward a utility's objective. In establishing this scale, the commission shall consider the attributes of various technologies and fuels, and shall establish a system that grants multiple credits toward the objectives for those technologies and fuels the commission determines is in the public interest to encourage.

 

Subd. 3. [UTILITY PLANS FILED WITH COMMISSION.] (a) Each electric utility shall report on its plans, activities, and progress with regard to these objectives and standards in its filings under section 216B.2422 or in a separate report submitted to the commission every two years, whichever is more frequent, demonstrating to the commission that the utility is making the required good faith utility's effort to comply with this section. In its resource plan or a separate report, each electric utility shall provide a description of:

 

(1) the status of the utility's renewable energy mix relative to the good faith objective and standards;

 

(2) efforts taken to meet the objective and standards;

 

(3) any obstacles encountered or anticipated in meeting the objective or standards; and

 

(4) potential solutions to the obstacles.

 

(b) The commissioner shall compile the information provided to the commission under paragraph (a), and report to the chairs of the house of representatives and senate committees with jurisdiction over energy and environment policy issues as to the progress of utilities in the state in increasing the amount of renewable energy provided to retail customers, with any recommendations for regulatory or legislative action, by January 15 of each odd-numbered year.

 

Subd. 4. [RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS.] (a) To facilitate compliance with this section, the commission, by rule or order, may establish a program for tradable credits for electricity generated by an eligible energy technology. In doing so, the commission shall implement a system that constrains or limits the cost of credits, taking care to ensure that such a system does not undermine the market for those credits.

 

(b) In lieu of generating or procuring energy directly to satisfy the renewable energy objective and standard of this section, an electric utility may purchase sufficient renewable energy credits, issued pursuant to this subdivision, to meet its objective and standard.

 

(c) Upon the passage of a renewable energy standard, portfolio, or objective in a bordering state that includes a similar definition of eligible energy technology or renewable energy, the commission may facilitate the trading of renewable energy credits between states.

 

Subd. 5. [TECHNOLOGY BASED ON FUEL COMBUSTION.] (a) Electricity produced by fuel combustion may only count toward a utility's objectives or standards if the generation facility:

 

(1) was constructed in compliance with new source performance standards promulgated under the federal Clean Air Act for a generation facility of that type; or


Journal of the House - 63rd Day - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - Top of Page 4200

(2) employs the maximum achievable or best available control technology available for a generation facility of that type.

 

(b) An eligible energy technology may blend or co-fire a fuel listed in subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1), with other fuels in the generation facility, but only the percentage of electricity that is attributable to a fuel listed in that clause can be counted toward an electric utility's renewable energy objectives.

 

Subd. 6. [ELECTRIC UTILITY THAT OWNS NUCLEAR GENERATION FACILITY.] (a) An electric utility that owns a nuclear generation facility, as part of its good faith effort under this subdivision and subdivision 2, shall deploy an additional 300 megawatts of nameplate capacity of wind energy conversion systems by 2010, beyond the amount of wind energy capacity to which the utility is required by law or commission order as of May 1, 2003. At least 100 megawatts of this capacity are to be wind energy conversion systems of two megawatts or less, which shall not be eligible for the production incentive under section 216C.41. To the greatest extent technically feasible and economic, these 300 megawatts of wind energy capacity are to be distributed geographically throughout the state. The utility may opt to own, construct, and operate up to 100 megawatts of this wind energy capacity, except that the utility may not own, construct, or operate any of the facilities that are under two megawatts of nameplate capacity. The deployment of the wind energy capacity under this subdivision must be consistent with the outcome of the engineering study required under Laws 2003, First Special Session chapter 11, article 2, section 21.

 

(b) The renewable energy objective set forth in subdivision 2 shall be a requirement for the public utility that owns the Prairie Island nuclear generation plant. The objective is a requirement subject to resource planning and least-cost planning requirements in section 216B.2422, unless implementation of the objective can reasonably be shown to jeopardize the reliability of the electric system. The least-cost planning analysis must include the costs of ancillary services and other necessary generation and transmission upgrades.

 

(c) Also as part of its good faith effort under this section, the utility that owns a nuclear generation facility is to enter into a power purchase agreement by January 1, 2004, for ten to 20 megawatts of biomass energy and capacity at an all-inclusive price not to exceed $55 per megawatt-hour, for a project described in section 216B.2424, subdivision 5, paragraph (e), clause (2). The project must be operational and producing energy by June 30, 2005.

 

Subd. 7. [COMPLIANCE.] The commission, on its own motion or upon petition, may investigate whether an electric utility is in compliance with its standard obligation under subdivision 2a and if it finds noncompliance may order the electric utility to construct facilities or purchase credits to achieve compliance. If an electric utility fails to comply with an order under this subdivision, the commission may impose a financial penalty on the electric utility in an amount up to the electric utility's estimated cost of compliance."

Each sponsor who offers a license education course must have at least one coordinator, approved by the commissioner, who is responsible for supervising the educational program and assuring compliance with all laws and rules.

S. F. No. 1326 was reported to the House.

 

 

McNamara moved to amend S. F. No. 1326 as follows:

 

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert the following language of H. F. No. 1438, the third engrossment:

 

"Section 1. [89.715] [ALTERNATIVE RECORDING FOR STATE FOREST ROAD.]

 

Subdivision 1. [AUTHORIZATION.] The commissioner may adopt a recorded state forest road map under this section to record the department's state forest road prescriptive easements. For purposes of this section, "recorded state forest road map" means the official map of state forest roads.

 

Subd. 2. [MAP REQUIREMENTS.] The recorded state forest road map must:

 

(1) show state forest roads at the time the map is adopted;

 

(2) be prepared at a scale of at least four inches equals one mile;

 

(3) include section numbers;

 

(4) include a north point arrow;

 

(5) include the name of the county and state;

 

(6) include a blank and a description under the blank for the date of public hearing and date of adoption;

 

(7) include blanks for signatures and dates of signatures for the commissioner; and

 

(8) include a list of legal descriptions of all parcels crossed by state forest road prescriptive easements.

 

Subd. 3. [PROCEDURE TO ADOPT MAP.] (a) The commissioner must prepare an official map for each county or smaller geographic area as determined by the commissioner as provided in subdivision 2, and set a time, place, and date for a public hearing on adopting a recorded state forest road map to record roads.

 

(b) The hearing notice must state that the roads to be recorded will be to the width of the actual use including ditches, backslopes, fills, and maintained rights-of-way, unless otherwise specified in a prior easement of record. The hearing notice must be published once a week for two successive weeks in a qualified newspaper of general circulation that serves the county or smaller geographic areas as determined by the commissioner, the last publication to be made at least ten days before the date of the public hearing. At least 30 days before the hearing, the hearing notice must be sent by certified mail to the property owners directly affected in the county or smaller geographic areas as determined by the commissioner at the addresses listed on the tax assessment notices at least seven days before appearing in the qualified newspaper. The hearing notice may be sent with the tax assessment, but all additional costs incurred shall be billed to the department.

 

(c) After the public hearing is held, the commissioner may amend and adopt the recorded state forest road map. The recorded state forest road map must be dated and signed by the commissioner and must be recorded with the county recorder within 90 days after the map is adopted.


Journal of the House - 63rd Day - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - Top of Page 4218

(d) The recorded state forest road map that is recorded with the county recorder must comply with the standards of the county recorder where the state forest roads are located.

 

(e) A recorded state forest road map that was prepared by using aerial photographs to establish road centerlines and that has been duly recorded with the county recorder is an adequate description for purposes of recording road easements and the map is the legally constituted description and prevails when a deed for a parcel abutting a road contains no reference to a road easement. Nothing prevents the commissioner from accepting a more definitive metes and bounds or survey description of a road easement for a road of record if the description of the easement is referenced to equal distance on both sides of the existing road centerline.

 

(f) The commissioner shall consult with representatives of county land commissioners, county auditors, county recorders, and Torrens examiners in implementing this subdivision.

 

Subd. 4. [APPEAL.] (a) Before filing an appeal under paragraph (b), a person may seek resolution of concerns regarding a decision to record a road under this section by contacting the commissioner in writing.

 

(b) A person may appeal a decision to record or exclude recording a road under this section to the district court within 60 days after the date the commissioner adopts the state forest road map.

 

Subd. 5. [UNRECORDED ROAD OR TRAIL NOT AFFECTED.] This section does not affect or diminish the legal status or state obligations of roads and trails not shown on the recorded state forest road map.

 

Subd. 6. [EXEMPTION.] Adoption of a recorded state forest road map under this section is exempt from the rulemaking requirements of chapter 14 and section 14.386 does not apply.

 

Sec. 2. [282.041] [ALTERNATIVE RECORDING FOR COUNTY FOREST ROAD.]

 

Subdivision 1. [DEFINITION.] "County forest road" means a road constructed, acquired, maintained, or administered by the county for the purpose of public access and management of tax-forfeited lands that have been classified as conservation lands under this chapter.

 

Subd. 2. [AUTHORIZATION.] A county board may adopt a recorded county forest road map according to section 89.715 to record county forest road prescriptive easements. For purposes of this section, "recorded county forest road map" means the official map of county forest roads.

 

Subd. 3. [UNRECORDED ROAD OR TRAIL NOT AFFECTED.] This section does not affect the legal status or county obligations of roads and trails not shown on the recorded county forest road map."
