(a) To accept persons committed to the commissioner by the courts of this state for
care, custody, and rehabilitation.
(b) To determine the place of confinement of committed persons in a correctional
facility or other facility of the Department of Corrections and to prescribe reasonable
conditions and rules for their employment, conduct, instruction, and discipline within or
outside the facility. Inmates shall not exercise custodial functions or have authority over

program located on the grounds of, or conducted within, a state correctional facility with
written permission from the chief executive officer of the facility.

(e) To transfer authorized positions and personnel between state correctional
facilities as necessary to properly staff facilities and programs.
(f) To utilize state correctional facilities in the manner deemed to be most efficient
and beneficial to accomplish the purposes of this section, but not to close the Minnesota
Correctional Facility-Stillwater or the Minnesota Correctional Facility-St. Cloud without
legislative approval. The commissioner may place juveniles and adults at the same
state minimum security correctional facilities, if there is total separation of and no
regular contact between juveniles and adults, except contact incidental to admission,
classification, and mental and physical health care.
(g) To organize the department and employ personnel the commissioner deems
necessary to discharge the functions of the department, including a chief executive officer
for each facility under the commissioner's control who shall serve in the unclassified civil
service and may, under the provisions of section 43A.33, be removed only for cause.
(h) To define the duties of these employees and to delegate to them any of the
commissioner's powers, duties and responsibilities, subject to the commissioner's control
and the conditions the commissioner prescribes.
(i) To annually develop a comprehensive set of goals and objectives designed to
clearly establish the priorities of the Department of Corrections. This report shall be
submitted to the governor commencing January 1, 1976. The commissioner may establish
ad hoc advisory committees.

    Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 242.19, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
    Subd. 2. Dispositions. When a child has been committed to the commissioner of
corrections by a juvenile court, upon a finding of delinquency, the commissioner may for
the purposes of treatment and rehabilitation:
(1) order the child's confinement to the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Red Wing
or the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Sauk Centre, which shall accept the child, or to
a group foster home under the control of the commissioner of corrections, or to private
facilities or facilities established by law or incorporated under the laws of this state that
may care for delinquent children;
(2) order the child's release on parole under such supervisions and conditions as the
commissioner believes conducive to law-abiding conduct, treatment and rehabilitation;
(3) order reconfinement or renewed parole as often as the commissioner believes
to be desirable;
(4) revoke or modify any order, except an order of discharge, as often as the
commissioner believes to be desirable;
(5) discharge the child when the commissioner is satisfied that the child has been
rehabilitated and that such discharge is consistent with the protection of the public;
(6) if the commissioner finds that the child is eligible for probation or parole and
it appears from the commissioner's investigation that conditions in the child's or the
guardian's home are not conducive to the child's treatment, rehabilitation, or law-abiding
conduct, refer the child, together with the commissioner's findings, to a local social
services agency or a licensed child-placing agency for placement in a foster care or,
when appropriate, for initiation of child in need of protection or services proceedings
as provided in sections 260C.001 to 260C.421. The commissioner of corrections shall
reimburse local social services agencies for foster care costs they incur for the child while
on probation or parole to the extent that funds for this purpose are made available to the
commissioner by the legislature. The juvenile court shall order the parents of a child on
probation or parole to pay the costs of foster care under section 260B.331, subdivision 1,
according to their ability to pay, and to the extent that the commissioner of corrections has
not reimbursed the local social services agency.

    Subdivision 1. Community-based programming. The commissioner of corrections
shall be charged with the duty of developing constructive programs for the prevention
and decrease of delinquency and crime among youth. To that end, the commissioner shall
cooperate with counties and existing agencies to encourage the establishment of new
programming, both local and statewide, to provide a continuum of services for serious and
repeat juvenile offenders who do not require secure placement. The commissioner shall
work jointly with the commissioner of human services and counties and municipalities
to develop and provide community-based services for residential placement of juvenile
offenders and community-based services for nonresidential programming for juvenile
offenders and their families.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the commissioner of corrections is
authorized to contract with counties placing juveniles in the serious/chronic program,
PREPARE, at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Red Wing to provide necessary
extended community transition programming. Funds resulting from the contracts shall
be deposited in the state treasury and are appropriated to the commissioner for juvenile
correctional purposes.

    Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 242.46, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
    Subd. 3. Probation services. The commissioner shall provide probation services
to juvenile courts in counties that request it or as required by section 244.19. The
commissioner shall cooperate with the judges to provide supervision to probation officers
in all counties of not more than 200,000 population, in order to insure high uniform
standards of operation. The costs of administrative and supervisory services shall be borne
by the state. The commissioner shall give newly employed probation and parole agents
appropriate orientation training and shall provide systematic in-service training to all
agents thereafter, and for that purpose may assign agents to appropriate short courses at
the University of Minnesota and necessary conferences and meetings held within the state.

    Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 243.1605, is amended to read:
243.1605 INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR ADULT OFFENDER
SUPERVISION.

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE
The compacting states to this interstate compact recognize that each state is
responsible for the supervision of adult offenders in the community who are authorized
pursuant to the bylaws and rules of this compact to travel across state lines both to and
from each compacting state in such a manner as to track the location of offenders, transfer
supervision authority in an orderly and efficient manner, and when necessary return
offenders to the originating jurisdictions. The compacting states also recognize that
Congress, by enacting the Crime Control Act under United States Code, title 4, section
112 (1965), has authorized and encouraged compacts for cooperative efforts and mutual
assistance in the prevention of crime. It is the purpose of this compact and the interstate
commission created hereunder, through means of joint and cooperative action among the
compacting states:
(1) to provide the framework for the promotion of public safety and protect the rights
of victims through the control and regulation of the interstate movement of offenders
in the community;
(2) to provide for the effective tracking, supervision, and rehabilitation of these
offenders by the sending and receiving states; and
(3) to equitably distribute the costs, benefits, and obligations of the compact among
the compacting states.
In addition, this compact will:
(1) create an interstate commission which will establish uniform procedures to
manage the movement between states of adults placed under community supervision
and released to the community under the jurisdiction of courts, paroling authorities,
corrections, or other criminal justice agencies which will promulgate rules to achieve the
purpose of this compact;
(2) ensure an opportunity for input and timely notice to victims and to jurisdictions
where defined offenders are authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines;
(3) establish a system of uniform data collection, access to information on active
cases by authorized criminal justice officials, and regular reporting of compact activities to
heads of state councils; state executive, judicial, and legislative branches; and criminal
justice administrators;
(4) monitor compliance with rules governing interstate movement of offenders and
initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance; and
(5) coordinate training and education regarding regulations of interstate movement
of offenders for officials involved in such activity.
The compacting states recognize that there is no "right" of any offender to live in
another state and that duly accredited officers of a sending state may at all times enter a
receiving state and there apprehend and retake any offender under supervision subject to
the provisions of this compact and bylaws and rules promulgated hereunder. It is the
policy of the compacting states that the activities conducted by the Interstate Commission
created herein are the formation of public policies and are therefore public business.

capacity under or pursuant to applicable law of the member state. While each member
state may determine the membership of its own state council, its membership must
include at least one representative from the legislative, judicial, and executive branches
of government; victims groups; and compact administrators. Each compacting state
retains the right to determine the qualifications of the compact administrator, who shall
be appointed by the state council or by the governor in consultation with the legislature
and the judiciary. In addition to appointment of its commissioner to the national Interstate
Commission, each state council shall exercise oversight and advocacy concerning its
participation in Interstate Commission activities and other duties as may be determined
by each member state, including, but not limited to, development of policy concerning
operations and procedures of the compact within that state.

ARTICLE VII

ACTIVITIES OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
The Interstate Commission shall meet and take such actions as are consistent with
the provisions of this compact.
Except as otherwise provided in this compact and unless a greater percentage is
required by the bylaws, in order to constitute an act of the Interstate Commission, such act
shall have been taken at a meeting of the Interstate Commission and shall have received
an affirmative vote of a majority of the members present.
Each member of the Interstate Commission shall have the right and power to cast a
vote to which that compacting state is entitled and to participate in the business and affairs
of the Interstate Commission. A member shall vote in person on behalf of the state and
shall not delegate a vote to another member state. However, a state council shall appoint
another authorized representative, in the absence of the commissioner from that state, to
cast a vote on behalf of the member state at a specified meeting. The bylaws may provide
for members' participation in meetings by telephone or other means of telecommunication
or electronic communication. Any voting conducted by telephone, or other means of
telecommunication or electronic communication, shall be subject to the same quorum
requirements of meetings where members are present in person.
The Interstate Commission shall meet at least once during each calendar year. The
chairperson of the Interstate Commission may call additional meetings at any time and,
upon the request of a majority of the members, shall call additional meetings.
The Interstate Commission's bylaws shall establish conditions and procedures under
which the Interstate Commission shall make its information and official records available
to the public for inspection or copying. The Interstate Commission may exempt from
disclosure any information or official records to the extent they would adversely affect
personal privacy rights or proprietary interests. In promulgating such rules, the Interstate
Commission may make available to law enforcement agencies records and information
otherwise exempt from disclosure, and may enter into agreements with law enforcement
agencies to receive or exchange information or records subject to nondisclosure and
confidentiality provisions.
Public notice shall be given of all meetings and all meetings shall be open to the
public, except as set forth in the rules or as otherwise provided in the compact. The
Interstate Commission shall promulgate rules consistent with the principles contained in
the "Government in Sunshine Act," United States Code, title 5, section 552(b), as may be
amended. The Interstate Commission and any of its committees may close a meeting to
the public where it determines by two-thirds vote that an open meeting would be likely to:
(1) relate solely to the Interstate Commission's internal personnel practices and
procedures;
(2) disclose matters specifically exempted from disclosure by statute;
(3) disclose trade secrets or commercial or financial information which is privileged
or confidential;
(4) involve accusing any person of a crime, or formally censuring any person;
(5) disclose information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
(6) disclose investigatory records compiled for law enforcement purposes;
(7) disclose information contained in or related to examination, operating, or
condition reports prepared by, or on behalf of or for the use of, the Interstate Commission
with respect to a regulated entity for the purpose of regulation or supervision of such entity;
(8) disclose information, the premature disclosure of which would significantly
endanger the life of a person or the stability of a regulated entity; or
(9) specifically relate to the Interstate Commission's issuance of a subpoena, or its
participation in a civil action or proceeding.
For every meeting closed pursuant to this provision, the Interstate Commission's
chief legal officer shall publicly certify that, in the officer's opinion, the meeting may be
closed to the public, and shall reference each relevant exemptive provision. The Interstate
Commission shall keep minutes, which shall fully and clearly describe all matters discussed
in any meeting and shall provide a full and accurate summary of any actions taken, and the
reasons therefor, including a description of each of the views expressed on any item and
the record of any roll call vote (reflected in the vote of each member on the question). All
documents considered in connection with any action shall be identified in such minutes.
The Interstate Commission shall collect standardized data concerning the interstate
movement of offenders as directed through its bylaws and rules which shall specify the data
to be collected, the means of collection, and data exchange and reporting requirements.

ARTICLE VIII

RULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
The Interstate Commission shall promulgate rules in order to effectively and
efficiently achieve the purposes of the compact, including transition rules governing
administration of the compact during the period in which it is being considered and
enacted by the states.
Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in this article and the bylaws
and rules adopted pursuant thereto. Such rulemaking shall substantially conform to the
principles of the federal Administrative Procedure Act, United States Code, title 5, section
551 et seq., and the federal Advisory Committee Act, United States Code, title 5, appendix
2, section 1 et seq., as may be amended (hereinafter "APA"). All rules and amendments
shall become binding as of the date specified in each rule or amendment.
If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states rejects a rule, by enactment
of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, then such rule
shall have no further force and effect in any compacting state.
When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission shall:
(1) publish the proposed rule stating with particularity the text of the rule which is
proposed and the reason for the proposed rule;
(2) allow persons to submit written data, facts, opinions, and arguments, which
information shall be publicly available;
(3) provide an opportunity for an informal hearing; and
(4) promulgate a final rule and its effective date, if appropriate, based on the
rulemaking record.
Not later than 60 days after a rule is promulgated, any interested person may file a
petition in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or in the federal
district court where the Interstate Commission's principal office is located for judicial
review of such rule. If the court finds that the Interstate Commission's action is not
supported by substantial evidence (as defined in the APA), in the rulemaking record, the
court shall hold the rule unlawful and set it aside. Subjects to be addressed within 12
months after the first meeting must, at a minimum, include:
(1) notice to victims and opportunity to be heard;
(2) offender registration and compliance;
(3) violations/returns;
(4) transfer procedures and forms;
(5) eligibility for transfer;
(6) collection of restitution and fees from offenders;
(7) data collection and reporting;
(8) the level of supervision to be provided by the receiving state;
(9) transition rules governing the operation of the compact and the Interstate
Commission during all or part of the period between the effective date of the compact and
the date on which the last eligible state adopts the compact; and
(10) mediation, arbitration, and dispute resolution.
The existing rules governing the operation of the previous compact superseded
by this act shall be null and void 12 months after the first meeting of the interstate
commission created hereunder.
Upon determination by the Interstate Commission that an emergency exists, it may
promulgate an emergency rule which shall become effective immediately upon adoption,
provided that the usual rulemaking procedures provided hereunder shall be retroactively
applied to said rule as soon as reasonably possible, in no event later than 90 days after the
effective date of the rule.

ARTICLE IX

OVERSIGHT, ENFORCEMENT, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section A. Oversight.
The Interstate Commission shall oversee the interstate movement of adult offenders
in the compacting states and shall monitor such activities being administered in
noncompacting states which may significantly affect compacting states.
The courts and executive agencies in each compacting state shall enforce this
compact and shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to effectuate the compact's
purposes and intent. In any judicial or administrative proceeding in a compacting
state pertaining to the subject matter of this compact which may affect the powers,
responsibilities, or actions of the Interstate Commission, the Interstate Commission shall
be entitled to receive all service of process in any such proceeding, and shall have standing
to intervene in the proceeding for all purposes.
Section B. Dispute resolution.
The compacting states shall report to the Interstate Commission on issues or
activities of concern to them, and cooperate with and support the Interstate Commission in
the discharge of its duties and responsibilities.
The Interstate Commission shall attempt to resolve any disputes or other issues
which are subject to the compact and which may arise among compacting states and
noncompacting states.

ARTICLE X

FINANCE
The Interstate Commission shall pay or provide for the payment of the reasonable
expenses of its establishment, organization, and ongoing activities.
The Interstate Commission shall levy on and collect an annual assessment from each
compacting state to cover the cost of the internal operations and activities of the Interstate
Commission and its staff, which must be in a total amount sufficient to cover the Interstate
Commission's annual budget as approved each year. The aggregate annual assessment
amount shall be allocated based upon a formula to be determined by the Interstate
Commission, taking into consideration the population of the state and the volume of
interstate movement of offenders in each compacting state and shall promulgate a rule
binding upon all compacting states, which governs said assessment.
The Interstate Commission shall not incur any obligations of any kind prior to
securing the funds adequate to meet the same; nor shall the Interstate Commission
pledge the credit of any of the compacting states, except by and with the authority of
the compacting state.
The Interstate Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and
disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the Interstate Commission shall be
subject to the audit and accounting procedures established under its bylaws. However,
all receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the Interstate Commission shall be
audited yearly by a certified or licensed public accountant and the report of the audit shall
be included in and become part of the annual report of the Interstate Commission.
Minnesota's annual assessment shall not exceed $50,000. The interstate compact
for adult offender supervision fund is established as a special fund in the Department of
Corrections. The fund consists of money appropriated for the purpose of meeting financial
obligations imposed on the state as a result of Minnesota's participation in this compact. An
assessment levied or any other financial obligation imposed under this compact is effective
against the state only to the extent that money to pay the assessment or meet the financial
obligation has been appropriated and deposited in the fund established in this paragraph.

ARTICLE XI

COMPACTING STATES, EFFECTIVE DATE, AND AMENDMENT
Any state, as defined in article II of this compact, is eligible to become a compacting
state. The compact shall become effective and binding upon legislative enactment of the
compact into law by no less than 35 of the states. The initial effective date shall be the
latter of July 1, 2001, or upon enactment into law by the 35th jurisdiction. Thereafter, it
shall become effective and binding, as to any other compacting state, upon enactment of
the compact into law by that state. The governors of nonmember states or their designees
will be invited to participate in Interstate Commission activities on a nonvoting basis prior
to adoption of the compact by all states and territories of the United States.
Amendments to the compact may be proposed by the Interstate Commission for
enactment by the compacting states. No amendment shall become effective and binding
upon the Interstate Commission and the compacting states unless and until it is enacted
into law by unanimous consent of the compacting states.

ARTICLE XII

WITHDRAWAL, DEFAULT, TERMINATION, AND JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT
Section A. Withdrawal.
Once effective, the compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each
and every compacting state, provided that a compacting state may withdraw from the
compact ("withdrawing state") by enacting a statute specifically repealing the statute
which enacted the compact into law.
The effective date of withdrawal is the effective date of the repeal.
The withdrawing state shall immediately notify the chairperson of the Interstate
Commission in writing upon the introduction of legislation repealing this compact in the
withdrawing state.
The Interstate Commission shall notify the other compacting states of the
withdrawing state's intent to withdraw within 60 days of its receipt thereof.
The withdrawing state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities
incurred through the effective date of withdrawal, including any obligations, the
performance of which extend beyond the effective date of withdrawal.
Reinstatement following withdrawal of any compacting state shall occur upon the
withdrawing state reenacting the compact or upon such later date as determined by the
Interstate Commission.
Section B. Default.
If the Interstate Commission determines that any compacting state has at any time
defaulted ("defaulting state") in the performance of any of its obligations or responsibilities
under this compact, the bylaws, or any duly promulgated rules, the Interstate Commission
may impose any or all of the following penalties:
(1) fines, fees, and costs in such amounts as are deemed to be reasonable as fixed by
the Interstate Commission;
(2) remedial training and technical assistance as directed by the Interstate
Commission; and/or
(3) suspension and termination of membership in the compact. Suspension shall be
imposed only after all other reasonable means of securing compliance under the bylaws
and rules have been exhausted. Immediate notice of suspension shall be given by the
Interstate Commission to the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer of the state,
the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council.
The grounds for default include, but are not limited to, failure of a compacting
state to perform such obligations or responsibilities imposed upon it by this compact,
Interstate Commission bylaws, or duly promulgated rules. The Interstate Commission
shall immediately notify the defaulting state in writing of the penalty imposed by the
Interstate Commission on the defaulting state pending a cure of the default. The Interstate
Commission shall stipulate the conditions and the time period within which the defaulting
state must cure its default. If the defaulting state fails to cure the default within the time
period specified by the Interstate Commission, in addition to any other penalties imposed
herein, the defaulting state may be terminated from the compact upon an affirmative vote
of a majority of the compacting states and all rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by
this compact shall be terminated from the effective date of suspension. Within 60 days
of the effective date of termination of a defaulting state, the Interstate Commission shall
notify the governor, the chief justice or chief judicial officer, the majority and minority
leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and the state council of such termination.
The defaulting state is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities
incurred through the effective date of termination, including any obligations, the
performance of which extends beyond the effective date of termination.
The Interstate Commission shall not bear any costs relating to the defaulting state
unless otherwise mutually agreed upon between the Interstate Commission and the
defaulting state. Reinstatement following termination of any compacting state requires
both a reenactment of the compact by the defaulting state and the approval of the Interstate
Commission pursuant to the rules.
Section C. Judicial enforcement.
The Interstate Commission may, by majority vote of the members, initiate legal
action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or, at the discretion
of the Interstate Commission, in the federal district where the Interstate Commission
has its offices to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact, or its duly
promulgated rules and bylaws, against any compacting state in default. In the event
judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such
litigation, including reasonable attorney fees.
Section D. Dissolution of compact.
The compact dissolves effective upon the date of the withdrawal or default of the
compacting state which reduces membership in the compact to one compacting state.
Upon the dissolution of this compact, the compact becomes null and void and shall
be of no further force or effect, and the business and affairs of the Interstate Commission
shall be wound up and any surplus funds shall be distributed in accordance with the bylaws.

ARTICLE XIII

SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION
The provisions of this compact shall be severable, and if any phrase, clause,
sentence, or provision is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the compact
shall be enforceable.
The provisions of this compact shall be liberally constructed to effectuate its purposes.

ARTICLE XIV

BINDING EFFECT OF COMPACT AND OTHER LAWS
Section A. Other laws.
Nothing herein prevents the enforcement of any other law of a compacting state
that is not inconsistent with this compact.
All compacting states' laws conflicting with this compact are superseded to the
extent of the conflict.
Section B. Binding effect of the compact.
All lawful actions of the Interstate Commission, including all rules and bylaws
promulgated by the Interstate Commission, are binding upon the compacting states.
All agreements between the Interstate Commission and the compacting states are
binding in accordance with their terms.
Upon the request of a party to a conflict over meaning or interpretation of Interstate
Commission actions, and upon a majority vote of the compacting states, the Interstate
Commission may issue advisory opinions regarding such meaning or interpretation.
In the event any provision of this compact exceeds the constitutional limits imposed
on the legislature of any compacting state, the obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction
sought to be conferred by such provision upon the Interstate Commission shall be
ineffective and such obligations, duties, powers, or jurisdiction shall remain in the
compacting state and shall be exercised by the agency thereof to which such obligations,
duties, powers, or jurisdiction are delegated by law in effect at the time this compact
becomes effective.

ARTICLE XV

ADMINISTRATION OF PAROLEE OR PROBATIONER
Section A. Retaking of parolee or probationer.
Where supervision of a parolee or probationer is being administered pursuant to
the Interstate Compact for Adult Supervision, the appropriate judicial or administrative
authorities in this state shall notify the compact administrator of the sending state
whenever, in their view, consideration should be given to retaking or reincarceration for a
parole or probation violation. Prior to the giving of any such notification, a hearing shall
be held in accordance with this article within a reasonable time, unless the parolee or
probationer waives such hearing. The appropriate officer or officers of this state shall as
soon as practicable, following termination of any such hearing, report to the sending state,
furnish a copy of the hearing record, and make recommendations regarding the disposition
to be made of the parolee or probationer by the sending state. Pending any proceeding
pursuant to this article When there is a risk to the offender or public safety, the appropriate
officers of this state may take custody of and detain the parolee or probationer involved for
a period not to exceed 12 business days prior to the a probable cause hearing and being
held, if it appears to the hearing officer or officers that retaking or reincarceration is likely
to follow, for such reasonable period after the hearing or waiver as may be necessary to
arrange for the retaking or reincarceration.
Section B. Hearing.
Any hearing pursuant to this article may be before any person authorized pursuant to
the laws of this state to hear cases of alleged parole or probation violations, except that no
hearing officer shall be the person making the allegation of violation.
Section C. Parolee and probationer hearing rights.
With respect to any hearing pursuant to this article, the parolee or probationer:
(1) shall have reasonable notice in writing of the nature and content of the allegations
to be made, including notice that its purpose is to determine whether there is probable
cause to believe that the parolee or probationer has committed a violation that may lead to
revocation of parole or probation;
(2) shall be permitted to advise with any person whose assistance the parolee or
probationer reasonably desires, prior to the hearing;
(3) shall have the right to confront and examine any persons who have made
allegations against the parolee or probationer, unless the hearing officer determines that
such confrontation would present a substantial present or subsequent danger of harm
to such person or persons; and
(4) may admit, deny, or explain the violation alleged and may present proof, including
affidavits and other evidence, in support of the parolee's or probationer's contentions.
Section D. Record.
A record of the proceedings shall be made and preserved.
Section E. Hearing; appropriate judicial officer.
In any case of alleged parole or probation violation by a person being supervised in
another state pursuant to the Interstate Compact for Adult Supervision, any appropriate
judicial or administrative officer or agency in another state is authorized to hold a hearing
on the alleged violation. Upon receipt of the record of a parole or probation violation
hearing held in another state pursuant to a statute substantially similar to this article,
such record shall have the same standing and effect as though the proceeding of which
it is a record was had before the appropriate officer or officers in this state, and any
recommendations contained in or accompanying the record shall be fully considered by
the appropriate officer or officers of this state in making disposition of the matter.

    Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 243.1606, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
    Subd. 3. Annual report. By March 1 of each year, the council shall report to
the governor and the chairs and ranking minority members of the senate and house of
representatives committees having jurisdiction over criminal justice policy on its activities
and along with providing a copy of the annual report published by the national commission
that includes the activities of the interstate commission and executive committee as
described in section 243.1605 for the preceding year. The report also must include an
assessment of how the interstate compact is functioning both within and without the state.

    Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260.51, is amended to read:
260.51 INTERSTATE COMPACT ON JUVENILES.
The governor is authorized and directed to execute a compact on behalf of this state
with any other state or states legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows:

INTERSTATE COMPACT ON JUVENILES

The contracting states solemnly agree:

ARTICLE I

That juveniles who are not under proper supervision and control, or who have
absconded, escaped or run away, are likely to endanger their own health, morals and
welfare, and the health, morals and welfare of others. The cooperation of the states
party to this compact is therefore necessary to provide for the welfare and protection of
juveniles and of the public with respect to
(1) cooperative supervision of delinquent juveniles on probation or parole;
(2) the return, from one state to another, of delinquent juveniles who have escaped
or absconded;
(3) the return, from one state to another of nondelinquent juveniles who have run
away from home; and
(4) additional measures for the protection of juveniles and of the public, which
any two or more of the party states may find desirable to undertake cooperatively.
In carrying out the provisions of this compact the party states shall be guided by the
noncriminal, reformative and protective policies which guide their laws concerning
delinquent, neglected or dependent juveniles generally. It shall be the policy of the states
party to this compact to cooperate and observe their respective responsibilities for the
prompt return and acceptance of juveniles and delinquent juveniles who become subject to
the provisions of this compact. The provisions of this compact shall be reasonably and
liberally construed to accomplish the foregoing purposes.

ARTICLE II

That all remedies and procedures provided by this compact shall be in addition to
and not in substitution for other rights, remedies and procedures, and shall not be in
derogation of parental rights and responsibilities.

ARTICLE III

That, for the purposes of this compact, "delinquent juvenile" means any juvenile
who has been adjudged delinquent and who, at the time the provisions of this compact are
invoked, is still subject to the jurisdiction of the court that has made such adjudication or
to the jurisdiction or supervision of an agency or institution pursuant to an order of such
court; "probation or parole" means any kind of conditional release of juveniles authorized
under the laws of the states party hereto; "court" means any court having jurisdiction
over delinquent, neglected or dependent children; "state" means any state, territory or
possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico; and "residence" or any variant thereof means a place at which a home or
regular place of abode is maintained.

ARTICLE IV

(a) That the parent, guardian, person or agency entitled to legal custody of a juvenile
who has not been adjudged delinquent but who has run away without the consent of such
parent, guardian, person or agency may petition the appropriate court in the demanding
state for the issuance of a requisition for his return. The petition shall state the name
and age of the juvenile, the name of the petitioner and the basis of entitlement to the
juvenile's custody, the circumstances of his running away, his location if known at the time
application is made, and such other facts as may tend to show that the juvenile who has run
away is endangering his own welfare or the welfare of others and is not an emancipated
minor. The petition shall be verified by affidavit, shall be executed in duplicate, and shall
be accompanied by two certified copies of the document or documents on which the
petitioner's entitlement to the juvenile's custody is based, such as birth records, letters of
guardianship, or custody decrees. Such further affidavits and other documents as may be
deemed proper may be submitted with such petition. The judge of the court to which this
application is made may hold a hearing thereon to determine whether for the purposes of
this compact the petitioner is entitled to the legal custody of the juvenile, whether or not it
appears that the juvenile has in fact run away without consent, whether or not he is an
emancipated minor, and whether or not it is in the best interest of the juvenile to compel
his return to the state. If the judge determines, either with or without a hearing, that the
juvenile should be returned, he shall present to the appropriate court or to the executive
authority of the state where the juvenile is alleged to be located, a written requisition
for the return of such juvenile. Such requisition shall set forth the name and age of the
juvenile, the determination of the court that the juvenile has run away without the consent
of a parent, guardian, person or agency entitled to his legal custody, and that it is in the
best interest and for the protection of such juvenile that he be returned. In the event that a
proceeding for the adjudication of the juvenile as a delinquent, neglected or dependent
juvenile is pending in the court at the time when such juvenile runs away, the court may
issue a requisition for the return of such juvenile upon its own motion, regardless of
the consent of the parent, guardian, person or agency entitled to legal custody, reciting
therein the nature and circumstances of the pending proceeding. The requisition shall in
every case be executed in duplicate and shall be signed by the judge. One copy of the
requisition shall be filed with the compact administrator of the demanding state, there to
remain on file subject to the provisions of law governing records of such court. Upon the
receipt of a requisition demanding the return of a juvenile who has run away, the court or
the executive authority to whom the requisition is addressed shall issue an order to any
peace officer or other appropriate person directing him to take into custody and detain
such juvenile. Such detention order must substantially recite the facts necessary to the
validity of its issuance hereunder. No juvenile detained upon such order shall be delivered
over to the officer whom the court demanding him shall have appointed to receive him,
unless he shall first be taken forthwith before a judge of a court in the state, who shall
inform him of the demand made for his return, and who may appoint counsel or guardian
ad litem for him. If the judge of such court shall find that the requisition is in order, he
shall deliver such juvenile over to the officer whom the court demanding him shall have
appointed to receive him. The judge, however, may fix a reasonable time to be allowed
for the purpose of testing the legality of the proceeding.
Upon reasonable information that a person is a juvenile who has run away from
another state party to this compact without the consent of a parent, guardian, person or
agency entitled to his legal custody, such juvenile may be taken into custody without a
requisition and brought forthwith before a judge of the appropriate court who may appoint
counsel or guardian ad litem for such juvenile and who shall determine after a hearing
whether sufficient cause exists to hold the person, subject to the order of the court, for
his own protection and welfare, for such a time not exceeding 90 days as will enable his
return to another state party to this compact pursuant to a requisition for his return from
a court of that state. If, at the time when a state seeks the return of a juvenile who has
run away, there is pending in the state wherein he is found any criminal charge, or any
proceeding to have him adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for an act committed in such
state, or if he is suspected of having committed within such state a criminal offense or
an act of juvenile delinquency, he shall not be returned without the consent of such state
until discharged from prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment, detention or
supervision for such offense or juvenile delinquency. The duly accredited officers of any
state party to this compact, upon the establishment of their authority and the identity of
the juvenile being returned, shall be permitted to transport such juvenile through any and
all states party to this compact, without interference. Upon his return to the state from
which he ran away, the juvenile shall be subject to such further proceedings as may be
appropriate under the laws of that state.
(b) That the state to which a juvenile is returned under this Article shall be
responsible for payment of the transportation costs of such return.
(c) That "juvenile" as used in this Article means any person who is a minor under
the law of the state of residence of the parent, guardian, person or agency entitled to
legal custody of such minor.

ARTICLE V

(a) That the appropriate person or authority from whose probation or parole
supervision a delinquent juvenile has absconded or from whose institutional custody he
has escaped shall present to the appropriate court or to the executive authority of the state
where the delinquent juvenile is alleged to be located a written requisition for the return of
such delinquent juvenile. Such requisition shall state the name and age of the delinquent
juvenile, the particulars of his adjudication as a delinquent juvenile, the circumstances of
the breach of the terms of his probation or parole or of his escape from an institution or
agency vested with his legal custody or supervision, and the location of such delinquent
juvenile, if known, at the time the requisition is made. The requisition shall be verified
by affidavit, shall be executed in duplicate, and shall be accompanied by two certified
copies of the judgment, formal adjudication, or order of commitment which subjects
such delinquent juvenile to probation or parole or to the legal custody of the institution
or agency concerned. Such further affidavits and other documents as may be deemed
proper may be submitted with such requisition. One copy of the requisition shall be filed
with the compact administrator of the demanding state, there to remain on file subject to
the provisions of law governing records of the appropriate court. Upon the receipt of a
requisition demanding the return of a delinquent juvenile who has absconded or escaped,
the court or the executive authority to whom the requisition is addressed shall issue an
order to any peace officer or other appropriate person directing him to take into custody
and detain such delinquent juvenile. Such detention order must substantially recite the
facts necessary to the validity of its issuance hereunder. No delinquent juvenile detained
upon such order shall be delivered over to the officer whom the appropriate person or
authority demanding him shall have appointed to receive him, unless he shall first be taken
forthwith before a judge of an appropriate court in the state, who shall inform him of
the demand made for his return and who may appoint counsel or guardian ad litem for
him. If the judge of such court shall find that the requisition is in order, he shall deliver
such delinquent juvenile over to the officer whom the appropriate person or authority
demanding him shall have appointed to receive him. The judge, however, may fix a
reasonable time to be allowed for the purpose of testing the legality of the proceeding.
Upon reasonable information that a person is a delinquent juvenile who has
absconded while on probation or parole, or escaped from an institution or agency vested
with his legal custody or supervision in any state party to this compact, such person may
be taken into custody in any other state party to this compact without a requisition. But
in such event, he must be taken forthwith before a judge of the appropriate court, who
may appoint counsel or guardian ad litem for such person and who shall determine, after
a hearing, whether sufficient cause exists to hold the person subject to the order of the
court for such a time, not exceeding 90 days, as will enable his detention under a detention
order issued on a requisition pursuant to this Article. If, at the time when a state seeks the
return of a delinquent juvenile who has either absconded while on probation or parole or
escaped from an institution or agency vested with his legal custody or supervision, there
is pending in the state wherein he is detained any criminal charge or any proceeding to
have him adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for an act committed in such state, or if he is
suspected of having committed within such state a criminal offense or an act of juvenile
delinquency, he shall not be returned without the consent of such state until discharged
from prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment, detention or supervision for
such offense or juvenile delinquency. The duly accredited officers of any state party to
this compact, upon the establishment of their authority and the identity of the delinquent
juvenile being returned, shall be permitted to transport such delinquent juvenile through
any and all states party to this compact, without interference. Upon his return to the state
from which he escaped or absconded, the delinquent juvenile shall be subject to such
further proceedings as may be appropriate under the laws of that state.
(b) That the state to which a delinquent juvenile is returned under this Article shall
be responsible for payment of the transportation costs of such return.

ARTICLE VI

That any delinquent juvenile who has absconded while on probation or parole, or
escaped from an institution or agency vested with his legal custody or supervision in any
state party to this compact, and any juvenile who has run away from any state party to
this compact, who is taken into custody without a requisition in another state party to
this compact under the provisions of Article IV(a) or of Article V(a), may consent to
his immediate return to the state from which he absconded, escaped or run away. Such
consent shall be given by the juvenile or delinquent juvenile and his counsel or guardian
ad litem if any, by executing or subscribing a writing, in the presence of a judge of the
appropriate court, which states that the juvenile or delinquent juvenile and his counsel or
guardian ad litem, if any, consent to his return to the demanding state. Before such consent
shall be executed or subscribed, however, the judge, in the presence of counsel or guardian
ad litem, if any, shall inform the juvenile or delinquent juvenile of his rights under this
compact. When the consent has been duly executed, it shall be forwarded to and filed with
the compact administrator of the state in which the court is located and the judge shall
direct the officer having the juvenile or delinquent juvenile in custody to deliver him to the
duly accredited officer or officers of the state demanding his return, and shall cause to be
delivered to such officer or officers a copy of the consent. The court may, however, upon
the request of the state to which the juvenile or delinquent juvenile is being returned, order
him to return unaccompanied to such state and shall provide him with a copy of such court
order; in such event a copy of the consent shall be forwarded to the compact administrator
of the state to which said juvenile or delinquent juvenile is ordered to return.

ARTICLE VII

(a) That the duly constituted judicial and administrative authorities of a state party to
this compact (herein called "sending state") may permit any delinquent juvenile within
such state, placed on probation or parole, to reside in any other state party to this compact
(herein called "receiving state") while on probation or parole, and the receiving state shall
accept such delinquent juvenile, if the parent, guardian or person entitled to the legal
custody of such delinquent juvenile is residing or undertakes to reside within the receiving
state. Before granting such permission, opportunity shall be given to the receiving state
to make such investigations as it deems necessary. The authorities of the sending state
shall send to the authorities of the receiving state copies of pertinent court orders, social
case studies and all other available information which may be of value to and assist the
receiving state in supervising a probationer or parolee under this compact. A receiving
state, in its discretion, may agree to accept supervision of a probationer or parolee in cases
where the parent, guardian or person entitled to legal custody of the delinquent juvenile
is not a resident of the receiving state, and if so accepted the sending state may transfer
supervision accordingly.
(b) That each receiving state will assume the duties of visitation and of supervision
over any such delinquent juvenile and in the exercise of those duties will be governed
by the same standards of visitation and supervision that prevail for its own delinquent
juveniles released on probation or parole.
(c) That, after consultation between the appropriate authorities of the sending state
and of the receiving state as to the desirability and necessity of returning such a delinquent
juvenile, the duly accredited officers of a sending state may enter a receiving state and
there apprehend and retake any such delinquent juvenile on probation or parole. For
that purpose, no formalities will be required, other than establishing the authority of
the officer and the identity of the delinquent juvenile to be retaken and returned. The
decision of the sending state to retake a delinquent juvenile on probation or parole shall
be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the receiving state, but if, at the time the
sending state seeks to retake a delinquent juvenile on probation or parole, there is pending
against him within the receiving state any criminal charge or any proceeding to have him
adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for any act committed in such state, or if he is suspected
of having committed within such state a criminal offense or an act of juvenile delinquency,
he shall not be returned without the consent of the receiving state until discharged from
prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment, detention or supervision for such
offense or juvenile delinquency. The duly accredited officers of the sending state shall be
permitted to transport delinquent juveniles being so returned through any and all states
partly to this compact, without interference.
(d) That the sending state shall be responsible under this Article for paying the
costs of transporting any delinquent juvenile to the receiving state or of returning any
delinquent juvenile to the sending state.

ARTICLE VIII

(a) That the provision of Articles IV(b), V(b), and VII(d) of this compact shall not
be construed to alter or affect any internal relationship among the departments, agencies
and officers of and in the government of a party state, or between a party state and its
subdivisions, as to the payment of costs, or responsibilities therefor.
(b) That nothing in this compact shall be construed to prevent any party state or
subdivision thereof from asserting any right against any person, agency or other entity
in regard to cost for which such party state or subdivision thereof may be responsible
pursuant to Article IV(b), V(b) or VII(d) of this compact.

ARTICLE IX

That, to every extent possible, it shall be the policy of states party to this compact that
no juvenile or delinquent juvenile shall be placed or detained in any prison, jail or lockup
nor be detained or transported in association with criminal, vicious or dissolute persons.

ARTICLE X

That the duly constituted administrative authorities of a state party to this compact
may enter into supplementary agreements with any other state or states party hereto for the
cooperative care, treatment and rehabilitation of delinquent juveniles whenever they shall
find that such agreements will improve the facilities or programs available for such care,
treatment and rehabilitation. Such care, treatment and rehabilitation may be provided in
an institution located within any state entering into such supplementary agreement. Such
supplementary agreement shall (1) provide the rates to be paid for the care, treatment and
custody of such delinquent juveniles, taking into consideration the character of facilities,
services and subsistence furnished; (2) provide that the delinquent juvenile shall be given
a court hearing prior to his being sent to another state for care, treatment and custody; (3)
provide that the state receiving such a delinquent juvenile in one of its institutions shall act
solely as agent for the state sending such delinquent juvenile; (4) provide that the sending
state shall at all times retain jurisdiction over delinquent juveniles sent to an institution in
another state; (5) provide for reasonable inspection of such institutions by the sending
state; (6) provide that the consent of the parent, guardian, person or agency entitled to the
legal custody of said delinquent juvenile shall be secured prior to his being sent to another
state; and (7) make provision for such other matters and details as shall be necessary to
protect the rights and equities of such delinquent juveniles and of the cooperating states.

ARTICLE XI

That any state party to this compact may accept any and all donations, gifts and
grants of money, equipment and services from the federal or any local government, or
any agency thereof and from any person, firm or corporation, for any of the purposes and
functions of this compact, and may receive and utilize the same subject to the terms,
conditions and regulations governing such donations, gifts and grants.

ARTICLE XII

That the governor of each state party to this compact shall designate an officer who,
acting jointly with like officers of other party states, shall promulgate rules and regulations
to carry out more effectively the terms and provisions of this compact.

ARTICLE XIII

That this compact shall become operative immediately upon its execution by any
state as between it and any other state or states so executing. When executed it shall have
the full force and effect of law within such state, the form of execution to be in accordance
with the laws of the executing state.

ARTICLE XIV

That this compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon each executing
state until renounced by it. Renunciation of this compact shall be by the same
authority which executed it, by sending six months' notice in writing of its intention to
withdraw from the compact to the other states party hereto. The duties and obligations
of a renouncing state under Article VII hereof shall continue as to parolees and
probationers residing therein at the time of withdrawal until retaken or finally discharged.
Supplementary agreements entered into under Article X hereof shall be subject to
renunciation as provided by such supplementary agreements, and shall not be subject to
the six months' renunciation notice of the present Article.

ARTICLE XV

That the provisions of this compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause,
sentence or provision of this compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of any
participating state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any government,
agency, person or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact
and the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance shall not
be affected thereby. If this compact shall be held contrary to the constitution of any state
participating therein, the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining
states and in full force and effect as to the state affected as to all severable matters.

ARTICLE XVI

(a) That this Article shall provide additional remedies, and shall be binding only as
among and between those party states which specifically execute the same.
(b) For the purposes of this Article, "child," as used herein, means any minor within
the jurisdictional age limits of any court in the home state.
(c) When any child is brought before a court of a state of which the child is not a
resident, and the state is willing to permit the child's return to the home state of the child,
the home state, upon being so advised by the state in which the proceeding is pending,
shall immediately institute proceedings to determine the residence and jurisdictional
facts as to the child in the home state, and upon finding that the child is in fact a resident
of that state and subject to the jurisdiction of the court thereof, shall within five days
authorize the return of the child to the home state, and to the parent or custodial agency
legally authorized to accept the custody in the home state, and at the expense of the state,
to be paid from the funds as the home state may procure, designate, or provide, prompt
action being of the essence.

ARTICLE XVII

(a) This Article shall provide additional remedies, and shall be binding only as
among and between those party states which specifically execute the same.
(b) All provisions and procedures of Articles V and VI of the Interstate Compact on
Juveniles shall be construed to apply to any juvenile charged with being a delinquent by
reason of a violation of any criminal law. Any juvenile, charged with being a delinquent
by reason of violating any criminal law shall be returned to the requesting state upon a
requisition to the state where the juvenile may be found. A petition in the case shall be
filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the requesting state where the violation of
criminal law is alleged to have been committed. The petition may be filed regardless
of whether the juvenile has left the state before or after the filing of the petition. The
requisition described in Article V of the compact shall be forwarded by the judge of the
court in which the petition has been filed.

    Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260.55, is amended to read:
260.55 EXPENSE OF RETURNING JUVENILES TO STATE, PAYMENT.
The expense of returning juveniles to this state pursuant to the Interstate Compact on
Juveniles shall be paid as follows:
(1) In the case of a runaway under Article IV, the court making the requisition shall
inquire summarily regarding the financial ability of the petitioner to bear the expense
and if it finds the petitioner is able to do so, shall order that the petitioner pay all such
expenses; otherwise the court shall arrange for the transportation at the expense of the
county and order that the county reimburse the person, if any, who returns the juvenile,
for actual and necessary expenses; and the court may order that the petitioner reimburse
the county for so much of said expense as the court finds the petitioner is able to pay. If
the petitioner fails, without good cause, or refuses to pay such sum, the petitioner may be
proceeded against for contempt.
(2) In the case of an escapee or absconder under Article V or Article VI, if the
juvenile is in the legal custody of the commissioner of corrections the commissioner shall
bear the expense of the juvenile's return; otherwise the appropriate court shall, on petition
of the person or agency entitled to the juvenile's custody or charged with the juvenile's
supervision, arrange for the transportation at the expense of the county and order that the
county reimburse the person, if any, who returns the juvenile, for actual and necessary
expenses. In this subsection "appropriate court" means the juvenile court which adjudged
the juvenile to be delinquent or, if the juvenile is under supervision for another state
under Article VII of the compact, then the juvenile court of the county of the juvenile's
residence during such supervision.
(3) In the case of a voluntary return of a runaway without requisition under Article
VI, the person entitled to the juvenile's legal custody shall pay the expense of transportation
and the actual and necessary expenses of the person, if any, who returns such juvenile;
but if financially unable to pay all the expenses the person may petition the juvenile court
of the county of the petitioner's residence for an order arranging for the transportation as
provided in paragraph (1). The court shall inquire summarily into the financial ability of
the petitioner and, if it finds the petitioner is unable to bear any or all of the expense, the
court shall arrange for such transportation at the expense of the county and shall order the
county to reimburse the person, if any, who returns the juvenile, for actual and necessary
expenses. The court may order that the petitioner reimburse the county for so much of
said expense as the court finds the petitioner is able to pay. A petitioner who fails, without
good cause, or refuses to pay such sum may be proceeded against for contempt.

    Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260.56, is amended to read:
260.56 COUNSEL OR GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOR JUVENILE, FEES.
Any judge of this state who appoints counsel or a guardian ad litem pursuant to the
provisions of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles may allow a reasonable fee on order
of the court. The costs of the counsel must be paid by the county and the cost of the
guardian ad litem, if any, must be paid by the state courts, except that the costs of counsel
to a guardian ad litem in the Eighth Judicial District shall be paid by the state courts
until the recommendations of the task force created in Laws 1999, chapter 216, article
7, section 42, are implemented.
