IDENTIFICATION, COLLECTION, AND PUBLICATION OF LAWS REGARDING COLLATERAL
CONSEQUENCES.
(a) The revisor of statutes shall:
(1) identify or cause to be identified
any provision in this state's constitution, statutes, and administrative rules
which imposes a collateral sanction or authorizes the imposition of a
disqualification, and any provision of law that may afford relief from a
collateral consequence;
(2)
in a timely manner after the effective date of sections 638.10 to 638.26,
prepare a collection of citations to, and the text or short descriptions of,
the provisions identified under clause (1); and
(3) annually update the collection in a
timely manner after the regular or last special session of the legislature in a
calendar year.
In complying with clauses (1) and (2),
the revisor may rely on the study of this state's collateral sanctions,
disqualifications, and relief provisions prepared by the National Institute of
Justice described in section 510 of the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007,
Public Law 110-177.
(b) The revisor of statutes shall
include the following statements or substantially similar language in a
prominent manner at the beginning of the collection required under paragraph
(a):
(1) This collection has not been enacted
into law and does not have the force of law.
(2) An error or omission in this
collection or in any reference work cited in this collection is not a reason
for invalidating a plea, conviction, or sentence or for not imposing a
collateral sanction or authorizing a disqualification.

local governments which impose additional collateral sanctions and authorize
additional disqualifications are not included in this collection.
(4) This collection does not include any
law or other provision regarding the imposition of or relief from a collateral
sanction or a disqualification enacted or adopted after (date the collection
was prepared or last updated.)
(c) The Office of the Revisor of

paragraph (c) must be available to the public on the Internet without charge in
a reasonable time after it is created or updated.
Sec. 5. [638.14]
NOTICE OF COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES IN CITATION, PRETRIAL PROCEEDING, AND AT
GUILTY PLEA.
(a) When a peace officer issues a
citation to a person for an offense, the officer shall ensure that the person
receives a notice of additional legal consequences substantially similar to
that described in paragraph (b). This
requirement may be satisfied by using the uniform traffic ticket described in
section 169.99 or the statewide standard citation if that document addresses
collateral consequences of a criminal conviction.
(b) When an individual receives formal
notice that the individual is charged with an offense, the prosecuting attorney
of the county or city in which the individual is charged shall provide
information substantially similar to the following to the individual:
NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
If you plead guilty or are convicted of
an offense you may suffer additional legal consequences beyond jail or prison,
probation, periods of parole or supervised release, and fines. These consequences may include:
(1) being unable to get or keep some
licenses, permits, or jobs;
(2)
being unable to get or keep benefits such as public housing or education;
(3) receiving a harsher sentence if you
are convicted of another offense in the future;
(4) having the government take your
property; and
(5) being unable to vote or possess a
firearm.
If you are not a United States citizen,
a guilty plea or conviction may also result in your deportation, removal,
exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of citizenship.
The law may provide ways to obtain some
relief from these consequences.
Further information about the consequences
of conviction is available on the Internet at (Internet address of the
collection of laws published under section 638.13, paragraphs (c) and (d).)
(c) Before the court accepts a plea of
guilty from an individual, the court shall confirm that the individual received
and understands the notice required by paragraphs (a) and (b), and had an
opportunity to discuss the notice with counsel.
Sec. 6. [638.15]
NOTICE OF COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES AT SENTENCING AND UPON RELEASE.
(a)
As provided in paragraphs (b) and (c), an individual convicted of an offense
shall be given the following notice:

apply because of this conviction;
(2) the Internet address of the
collection of laws published under section 638.13, paragraph (c);
(3) that there may be ways to obtain
relief from collateral consequences;
(4) contact information for government
or nonprofit agencies, groups, or organizations, if any, offering assistance to
individuals seeking relief from collateral consequences; and
(5) when an individual convicted of an
offense may vote under state law.
(b) The court shall provide the notice
in paragraph (a) as a part of sentencing.
(c)
If an individual is sentenced to imprisonment or other incarceration, the
officer or agency releasing the individual shall provide the notice in
paragraph (a) not more than 30, and, if practicable, at least ten days before
release.
Sec. 7. [638.16]
AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED FOR COLLATERAL SANCTION; AMBIGUITY.
(a) A collateral sanction may be
imposed only by statute or ordinance, or by rule authorized by law and adopted
under chapter 14.
(b) A law creating a collateral
consequence that is ambiguous as to whether it imposes a collateral sanction or
authorizes a disqualification must be construed as authorizing a
disqualification.
Sec. 8. [638.17]
DECISION TO DISQUALIFY.
In deciding whether to impose a
disqualification, a decision maker shall undertake an individualized assessment
to determine whether the benefit or opportunity at issue shall be denied the
individual. In making that decision, the
decision maker may consider, if substantially related to the benefit or
opportunity at issue, the particular facts and circumstances involved in the
offense, and the essential elements of the offense. A conviction itself may not be considered
except as having established the elements of the offense. The decision maker shall also consider other relevant information including, at a minimum, the
effect on third parties of granting the benefit or opportunity and whether the
individual has been granted relief such as an order of limited relief or a
certificate of restoration of rights.
Sec. 9. [638.18]
EFFECT OF CONVICTION BY ANOTHER STATE OR THE UNITED STATES; RELIEVED OR
PARDONED CONVICTION.
(a) For purposes of authorizing or
imposing a collateral consequence in this state, a conviction of an offense in
a court of another state or the United States is deemed a conviction of the
offense in this state with the same elements.
If there is no offense in this state with the same elements, the
conviction is deemed a conviction of the most serious offense in this state
which is established by the elements of the offense. A misdemeanor in the jurisdiction of
conviction may not be deemed a felony in this state, and an offense lesser than
a misdemeanor in the jurisdiction of conviction may not be deemed a conviction
of a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor in this state.
(b) For purposes of authorizing or
imposing a collateral consequence in this state, a juvenile adjudication in
another state or the United States may not be deemed a conviction of a felony,
gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or offense lesser than a misdemeanor in this
state, but may be deemed a juvenile adjudication for the delinquent act in this
state with the same elements. If there
is no delinquent act in this state with the same elements, the juvenile
adjudication is deemed an adjudication of the most serious delinquent act in
this state which is established by the elements of the offense.
(c) A conviction that is reversed,
overturned, or otherwise vacated by a court of competent jurisdiction of this
state, another state, or the United States on grounds other than rehabilitation
or good behavior may not serve as the basis for authorizing or imposing a
collateral consequence in this state.
(d) A pardon issued by another state or
the United States has the same effect for purposes of authorizing, imposing,
and relieving a collateral consequence in this state as it has in the issuing
jurisdiction.
(e) A conviction that has been relieved
by expungement, sealing, annulment, set-aside, or vacation by a court of
competent jurisdiction of another state or the United States on grounds of
rehabilitation or good behavior, or for which civil rights are restored
pursuant to statute, has the same effect for purposes of authorizing or
imposing collateral consequences in this state as it has in the jurisdiction of
conviction. However, this relief or
restoration of civil rights does not relieve collateral consequences applicable
under the law of this state for which relief could not be granted under section
638.21 or for which relief was expressly withheld by the court order or by the
law of the jurisdiction that relieved the conviction. An individual convicted in another
jurisdiction may seek relief under section 638.19 or 638.20 from any collateral
consequence for which relief was not granted in the issuing jurisdiction, other
than those listed in section 638.21, and the administrative law judge shall
consider that the conviction was relieved or civil rights restored in deciding
whether to issue an order of limited relief or certificate of restoration of
rights.
(f) A charge or prosecution in any
jurisdiction which has been finally terminated without a conviction and
imposition of sentence based on participation in a deferred adjudication or
diversion program may not serve as the basis for authorizing or imposing a
collateral consequence in this state. This
paragraph does not affect the validity of any restriction or condition imposed
by law as part of participation in the deferred adjudication or diversion
program, before or after the termination of the charge or prosecution.
Sec. 10. [638.19]
ORDER OF LIMITED RELIEF.
(a) The chief administrative law judge
shall conduct proceedings, make determinations, and issue orders on petitions
for orders of limited relief filed under this section.
(b) An individual convicted of an
offense may petition for an order of limited relief from one or more collateral
sanctions related to employment, education, housing, public benefits, or
occupational licensing. The petition may
be brought before the Office of Administrative Hearings at any time after
sentencing.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in
section 638.21, the administrative law judge may issue an order of limited
relief relieving one or more of the collateral sanctions described in paragraph
(b) if, after reviewing the petition, the individual's criminal history, any
filing by a victim under section 638.24 or a prosecutor, and any other relevant
evidence, the administrative law judge finds the individual has established by
a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) granting the petition will
materially assist the individual in obtaining or maintaining employment,
education, housing, public benefits, or occupational licensing;
(2) the individual has substantial need
for the relief requested in order to live a law-abiding life; and
(3) granting the petition would not
pose an unreasonable risk to the safety or welfare of the public or any
individual.
(d) Upon the request of an individual
convicted of an offense and if the prosecutor agrees, the sentencing court, at
or before sentencing, shall issue an order of limited relief under this section. The court is not required to issue the order
if it determines that the interests of the public and public safety in not
issuing the order outweigh the disadvantages to the convicted individual in
issuing it. When determining whether to
agree to the request of a convicted individual, the prosecutor shall consider
the criteria listed in paragraph (c), clauses (1) to (3).
(e) The order of limited relief must
specify:
(1) the collateral sanction from which
relief is granted; and
(2) any restriction imposed pursuant to
section 638.22, paragraph (a).
(f) An order of limited relief relieves
a collateral sanction to the extent provided in the order.
(g) If a collateral sanction has been
relieved pursuant to this section, a decision maker may consider the conduct
underlying a conviction as provided in section 638.17.
(h) An individual bringing a petition
under paragraph (b) shall pay a fee as determined by the Office of
Administrative Hearings. This fee may be
retained by the office and used to administer this section.
(i) The limitations described in
section 14.03 do not apply to this section.
(j) The filing of a petition under
paragraph (b) initiates a contested case under sections 14.57 to 14.69.
Sec. 11. [638.20]
CERTIFICATE OF RESTORATION OF RIGHTS.
(a) The chief administrative law judge
shall conduct proceedings, make determinations, and issue orders on petitions
for certificates of restoration of rights filed under this section.
(b)
An individual convicted of an offense may petition the Office of Administrative
Hearings for a certificate of restoration of rights relieving collateral
sanctions not sooner than five years after the individual's most recent
conviction of a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor in any jurisdiction,
or not sooner than five years after the individual's release from confinement
pursuant to a criminal sentence in any jurisdiction, whichever is later.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in
section 638.21, the administrative law judge may issue a certificate of
restoration of rights if, after reviewing the petition, the individual's
criminal history, any filing by a victim under section 638.24 or a prosecutor,
and any other relevant evidence, the administrative law judge finds the
individual has established by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) the individual is engaged in, or
seeking to engage in, a lawful occupation or activity, including employment,
training, education, or rehabilitative programs, or the individual otherwise
has a lawful source of support;
(2) the individual is not in violation
of the terms of any criminal sentence, or that any failure to comply is
justified, excused, involuntary, or insubstantial;
(3) a criminal charge is not pending
against the individual; and
(4) granting the petition would not
pose an unreasonable risk to the safety or welfare of the public or any
individual.
(d) A certificate of restoration of
rights must specify any restriction imposed and collateral sanction from which
relief has not been granted under section 638.22, paragraph (a).
(e) A certificate of restoration of
rights relieves all collateral sanctions, except those listed in section 638.21
and any others specifically excluded in the certificate.
(f) If a collateral sanction has been
relieved pursuant to this section, a decision maker may consider the conduct
underlying a conviction as provided in section 638.17.
(g) An individual bringing a petition
under paragraph (b) shall pay a fee as determined by the Office of
Administrative Hearings. This fee may be
retained by the office and used to administer this section.
(h) The limitations described in

(c) After the month in which the institutionalized spouse is determined eligible for medical assistance, during the continuous period of institutionalization, no assets of the community spouse are considered available to the institutionalized spouse, unless the institutionalized spouse has been found eligible under paragraph (b).
(d) Assets determined to be available to the institutionalized spouse under this section must be used for the health care or personal needs of the institutionalized spouse.

Subd. 8. Development, evaluation, and peer coaching for continuing contract teachers. (a) To improve student learning and success, a school board and an exclusive representative of the teachers in the district, consistent with paragraph (b), may develop a teacher evaluation and peer review process for probationary and continuing contract teachers through joint agreement. If a school board and the exclusive representative of the teachers do not
agree
to an annual teacher evaluation and peer review process, then the school board
and the exclusive representative of the teachers must implement the state
teacher evaluation plan for evaluation and review under paragraph
(c). The process must include having
trained observers serve as peer coaches or having teachers participate in
professional learning communities, consistent with paragraph (b).
(b) To develop, improve, and support qualified teachers and effective teaching practices and improve student learning and success, the annual evaluation process for teachers:
(1) must, for probationary teachers, provide for all evaluations required under subdivision 5;
(2) must establish a three-year
professional review cycle for each teacher that includes an individual growth
and development plan, a peer review process, the opportunity to participate
in a professional learning community under paragraph (a), and at least one
summative evaluation performed by a qualified and trained evaluator such as a
school administrator. For the years when
a tenured teacher is not evaluated by a qualified and trained evaluator, the
teacher must be evaluated by a peer review;
(3) must be based on professional teaching standards established in rule;
(4) must coordinate staff development activities under sections 122A.60 and 122A.61 with this evaluation process and teachers' evaluation outcomes;
(5) may provide time during the school day and school year for peer coaching and teacher collaboration;
(6) may include job-embedded learning
opportunities such as professional learning communities;
(7) may include mentoring and induction programs;
(7) (8) must include an
option for teachers to develop and present a portfolio demonstrating evidence
of reflection and professional growth, consistent with section 122A.18, subdivision
4, paragraph (b), and include teachers' own performance assessment based on
student work samples and examples of teachers' work, which may include video
among other activities for the summative evaluation;
(8) (9) must use data from
valid and reliable assessments aligned to state and local academic standards
and must use state and local measures of student growth that may include
value-added models or student learning goals to determine 35 percent of teacher
evaluation results;
(9) (10) must use longitudinal
data on student engagement and connection, and other student outcome measures
explicitly aligned with the elements of curriculum for which teachers are
responsible;
(10) (11) must require
qualified and trained evaluators such as school administrators to perform
summative evaluations and ensure school districts and charter schools
provide for effective evaluator training specific to teacher development and
evaluation;
(11) (12) must give teachers
not meeting professional teaching standards under clauses (3) through (10)
(11) support to improve through a teacher improvement process that
includes established goals and timelines; and
(12) (13) must discipline a
teacher for not making adequate progress in the teacher improvement process
under clause (11) (12) that may include a last chance warning,
termination, discharge, nonrenewal, transfer to a different position, a leave
of absence, or other discipline a school administrator determines is
appropriate.
Data
on individual teachers generated under this subdivision are personnel data
under section 13.43. The observation
and interview notes of peer coaches may only be disclosed to other school
officials with the consent of the teacher being coached.
(c) The department, in consultation with parents who may represent parent organizations and teacher and administrator representatives appointed by their respective organizations, representing the Board of Teaching, the Minnesota Association of School Administrators, the Minnesota School Boards Association, the Minnesota Elementary and Secondary Principals Associations, Education Minnesota, and representatives of the Minnesota Assessment Group, the Minnesota Business Partnership, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, and Minnesota postsecondary institutions with research expertise in teacher evaluation, must create and publish a teacher evaluation process that complies with the requirements in paragraph (b) and applies to all teachers under this section and section 122A.41 for whom no agreement exists under paragraph (a) for an annual teacher evaluation and peer review process. The teacher evaluation process created under this subdivision does not create additional due process rights for probationary teachers under subdivision 5.
(d) Teacher development and evaluation
revenue for a school district or charter school that does not have an
alternative professional pay system agreement under section 122A.414,
subdivision 2, equals $169 times the number of pupils enrolled at the district
or charter school on October 1 of the previous school year. For an intermediate school district, special
education cooperative, secondary vocational cooperative, or other cooperative
unit under section 123A.24, subdivision 2, the teacher development and
evaluation revenue for the current school year equals the statewide average
amount of teacher development and evaluation revenue per licensed teacher times
the number of licensed teachers employed by the cooperative unit. A school district, charter school, and
cooperative unit must reserve and expend this teacher development and
evaluation revenue consistent with this subdivision.
