Upon a third violation by the same person connected with the same governing body, such person shall forfeit any further right to serve on such governing body or in any other capacity with such public body for a period of time equal to the term of office such person was then serving. The court determining the merits of any action in connection with any alleged third violation shall receive competent, relevant evidence in connection therewith and, upon finding as to the occurrence of a separate third violation, unrelated to the previous violations issue its order declaring the position vacant and notify the appointing authority or clerk of the governing body. As soon as practicable thereafter the appointing authority or the governing body shall fill the position as in the case of any other vacancy.

[STUDY AND RECOMMENDATIONS.] (a) The director, in consultation with the commissioner, manufacturers, packagers, recyclers, public and private solid waste managers, environmental groups, and other interested persons, shall undertake a continuing study of: (1) the feasibility and prudence of implementing sections 115A.561, requiring recycled content in limited types of material and containers; 116F.12, prohibiting management of waste transport packaging as part of other solid waste; and 116F.13, establishing guidelines for use of disposable packaging; and (2) any other issues determined by the director to be relevant to encouraging and achieving the maximum reduction of packaging in the solid waste stream that is feasible and prudent. (b) In determining the feasibility and prudence of implementing the sections listed in paragraph (a), the director also shall study the effects of minimum recycled content requirements, regulation of transport packaging, and guidelines for and regulation of disposable packaging in other states and other nations. (c) For recycled content requirements, the director also shall analyze the extent to which products and packaging are or reasonably can be made available with significant postconsumer material content in light of existing and developing technologies and in light of the direct and indirect costs of postconsumer material in relation to direct and indirect costs of virgin material. If the director finds that postconsumer content requirements are feasible and prudent and may be effective in encouraging markets for recycled materials, the director periodically may recommend to the legislative commission on waste management minimum postconsumer material content standards for specific types of products or packaging sufficient to significantly increase market demand for recyclable materials that are technologically and economically feasible and prudent. Specifically, the director shall determine whether the postconsumer material standards established in section 115A.561 are appropriate and achievable and shall recommend to the legislative commission on waste management, as part of the report required in section 115A.5501, subdivision 4, that each individual standard take effect, be further studied, or be reduced, increased, or repealed. (d) For regulation of management of waste transport packaging, the director shall study the most efficient design and use of transport packaging, how waste transport packaging is presently managed, how generators of waste transport packaging can manage the packaging by reuse and recycling rather than by destruction of the packaging or by landfilling it. The director shall make recommendations to packagers, transporters, and receivers of items in transport packaging on how best to design and use transport packaging and how to manage waste packaging outside the solid waste management system. The director periodically may recommend to the legislative commission appropriate regulation of transport packaging. Specifically, the director shall recommend to the legislative commission on waste management, as part of the report required in section 115A.5501, subdivision 4, whether the transport packaging prohibition in section 116F.12 should be implemented, further studied, adjusted, or repealed. (e) For discardable packaging, the director shall determine whether packagers are making progress toward meeting the proposed guidelines in section 116F.13. The director specifically shall recommend, as part of the report required under section 115A.5501, subdivision 4, whether to adjust, provide enforcement of, repeal, or let stand the guidelines for discardable packaging in section 116F.13. The director periodically shall recommend to the legislative commission on waste management how to significantly reduce the use of discardable packaging and the presence of discardable packaging in solid waste. The director shall consider all means of achieving reduction in both the quantity and toxicity of discardable packaging in use and in the solid waste stream, including requirements for and/or prohibitions on the use of certain materials in the manufacture of disposable packaging, prohibitions on the use of discardable packaging when appropriate, requirements for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to collect discardable packaging, advance disposal or recycling fees on discardable packaging, mandatory recycling of discardable packaging, and any other means of achieving reduction proposed by any interested person. At a minimum, the recommendations must include: (1) how, by 2000, to reduce by at least 50 percent over 1995 levels the amount of discardable packaging in solid waste delivered to solid waste composting, incineration, refuse-derived fuel, and disposal facilities; (2) how to reduce, to the greatest extent technically feasible, the presence of any materials or combinations of materials in discardable packaging that are toxic, may combine with other materials during a waste management process to become toxic, or make the packaging impossible, difficult, or costly to recycle; and (3) how to ensure that any additional costs incurred to redesign packaging, recycle increased quantities or types of materials, and administer any necessary government programs to oversee production, use, sale, and management of discardable packaging be recovered from the manufacture, use, and sale of the packaging, and not from state or local revenue or from the solid waste management system itself. Subd. 2. [PERIODIC AND SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS.] (a) Until July 1, 1996, any periodic recommendations made by the director under subdivision 1 may not include making any of the provisions of section 115A.561, 116F.12, or 116F.13 more stringent or enforcing any of those provisions. (b) As part of the report required on July 1, 1996, under section 115A.5501, subdivision 4, the director shall specifically recommend implementation and enforcement of sections 115A.561, 116F.12, and/or 116F.13, with appropriate alterations, if the director finds that: (1) the 25 percent packaging reduction goal in section 115A.5501 has not been met; (2) continuing significant reduction of packaging in the waste stream will be adversely affected if one or more of those sections is not implemented; (3) in relation to section 115A.561, implementation of recycled content standards will encourage or stabilize markets for recyclable materials; (4) in relation to section 116F.12, there remains a significant quantity of transport packaging in the waste stream and it is unlikely to be reduced by at least 75 percent of 1995 levels by January 1, 1998; or (5) in relation to section 116F.13, random sampling shows that less than 50 percent of consumer packaging available in retail stores in the state substantially complies with the discardable packaging guidelines. Subd. 3. [EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS.] The provisions of sections 115A.561, relating to recycled content in materials and packaging; 116F.12, relating to management of transport packaging; and 116F.13, relating to discardable packaging are advisory only until the legislature acts to make them enforceable. Neither the director, the commissioner, the attorney general, a county attorney, or any other person may enforce any of the provisions in any of those sections without legislative direction to enforce them. Sec. 10. [115A.561] [RECYCLED CONTENT IN CERTAIN PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING.] Subdivision 1. [MINIMUM RECYCLED CONTENT.] (a) Newsprint that is distributed for sale to or use by consumers in this state must contain a minimum percentage of postconsumer material of 50 percent by January 1, 2000, unless the newsprint is consumed by a printer who prints less than 10,000 copies each month of all publications printed by that printer on newsprint, in which case, the newsprint must contain a minimum percentage of postconsumer material of 30 percent by January 1, 2000. (b) Glass packaging that is distributed for sale or use, including sale to or use by consumers of products contained in the glass packaging who reside in this state, must contain a minimum percentage of postconsumer material of 50 percent by January 1, 2000. (c) A rigid plastic container that is distributed for sale or use, including sale to or use by a consumer of a product contained in the container who resides in this state, must contain a minimum of 25 percent postconsumer material by January 1, 2000. For the purposes of this paragraph, "rigid plastic container" means a formed or molded container composed predominantly of plastic resin and having a relatively inflexible finite shape or form intended primarily as a single service container with a capacity of eight ounces or more, but less than five gallons. (d) Paperboard packaging, excluding corrugated paperboard packaging, that is distributed for sale or use, including sale to or use by a consumer of a product contained in the packaging who resides in this state, must contain a minimum percentage of postconsumer material of 50 percent by January 1, 2000. Subd. 2. [EFFECT.] Under section 115A.5502, subdivision 3, this section is advisory only and is unenforceable unless the legislature acts affirmatively to make it enforceable. Sec. 11. [116F.10] [DEFINITIONS.] Unless otherwise provided, the definitions in section 115A.03 apply to this chapter. Sec. 12. [116F.11] [PACKAGING PRACTICES; PREFERENCES; GOALS.] Packaging forms a substantial portion of solid waste and contributes to environmental degradation and the costs of managing solid waste. It is imperative to reduce the amount and toxicity of packaging that must be managed as solid waste. In order to achieve significant reduction of packaging in solid waste and to assist packagers and others to meet the packaging reduction goal in section 115A.5501, the goal of the state is that items be distributed without any packaging where feasible and, only when necessary to protect health and safety or product integrity, with the minimal amount of packaging possible. The following categories of packaging are listed in order of preference for use by all persons who find it necessary to package items for distribution or use in the state: (1) minimal packaging that contains no intentionally introduced toxic materials and that is designed to be and actually is reused for its original purpose at least five times; (2) minimal packaging that contains no intentionally introduced toxic materials and that consists of at least 50 percent postconsumer material as defined in section 115A.03, subdivision 24b; (3) minimal packaging that contains no intentionally introduced toxic materials, that is recyclable, and is regularly collected through recycling collection programs available to at least 75 percent of the residents of the state; (4) minimal packaging that does not comply with clauses (1) to (3) because it is required under federal or state law and for which there does not exist a commercially feasible alternative that does comply with clauses (1) to (3); (5) packaging that contains no intentionally introduced toxic materials but does not comply with clauses (1) to (4); and (6) all other packaging. It is the further goal of this chapter that the packaging described in clauses (5) and (6) no longer be in use for any purpose after December 31, 1999. Sec. 13. [116F.12] [TRANSPORT PACKAGING.] Subdivision 1. [DEFINITION.] "Transport packaging" means packaging as defined in section 115A.03, subdivision 22b, that is used primarily for transportation of products prior to final sale or delivery, whichever occurs later, of the products to their ultimate consumers. Transport packaging includes, but is not limited to, crates, barrels, boxes, pallets, and packing materials that are or may be removed prior to final sale or delivery of a product to a consumer. Subd. 2. [PROHIBITION.] (a) Beginning January 1, 1998, a person may not place transport packaging in: (1) mixed municipal solid waste, industrial waste, medical waste, or construction debris; (2) a resource recovery facility other than for reuse or recycling; or (3) a disposal facility. (b) For the purposes of paragraph (a), transport packaging may be delivered to a resource recovery facility or a disposal facility for reuse or recycling as long as the packaging is not placed in that portion of the facility that composts waste, burns waste, processes waste into refuse-derived fuel, or disposes of waste. Subd. 3. [EFFECT.] Under section 115A.5502, subdivision 3, this section is advisory only and is unenforceable unless the legislature acts affirmatively to make it enforceable. Sec. 14. [116F.13] [DISCARDABLE PACKAGING.] Subdivision 1. [DEFINITIONS.] For the purposes of this section: (1) "discardable packaging" means packaging that is not transport packaging as defined in section 116F.12 or reusable packaging; (2) "recyclable packaging" means packaging made of a material that is collected either: (i) through recycling collection programs available to 75 percent of the state's residents; or (ii) by a collection program established by a manufacturer or distributor of the product contained in the packaging that is designed to collect and recycle a minimum of 60 percent of the packaging; and (3) "reusable packaging" means packaging that is designed to be reused for its original purpose at least five times and for which systems for return and reuse are in operation statewide. Subd. 2. [GUIDELINES.] For a consumer product sold or otherwise distributed for use in this state, the person who packages the product shall, to the extent practical: (1) use the minimal amount of packaging necessary to protect the product; (2) use recyclable packaging; (3) use packaging that, all layers taken together, meets or exceeds the postconsumer material content requirements in section 115A.561 for the packaging specified in that section and contains the maximum reasonably feasible postconsumer content for packaging not specified in that section; and (4) label, in compliance with section 325E.41, the outermost layer of packaging to clearly inform the consumer prior to purchase of the ways in which the packaging, taken as a whole, complies with clauses (1) to (3). Subd. 3. [EFFECT.] Under section 115A.5502, subdivision 3, this section is advisory only and is unenforceable unless the legislature acts affirmatively to make it enforceable. Sec. 15. [116F.20] [REFUSAL TO STOCK PRODUCTS IN REUSABLE CONTAINERS.] Subdivision 1. [DEFINITION.] For purposes of this section, "reusable container" means a container that is designed to be and actually is reused at least five times for its original purpose by any number of persons who are in the business of placing contents in the container. Subd. 2. [ANTICOMPETITIVE CONDUCT PROHIBITED.] A retailer or wholesaler may not refuse, after request by a manufacturer, bottler, or distributor, to stock a product, including a food or a beverage, for sale because the product is packaged in reusable containers. A person who violates this subdivision engages in anticompetitive conduct by excluding the manufacturer's, bottler's, or distributor's products that utilize reusable containers from fair competition with products packaged in discardable packaging. Subd. 3. [BURDEN OF PROOF.] A retailer or wholesaler who refuses to stock a product for sale that is packaged in reusable containers and who is accused of anticompetitive conduct under this section has the burden of proving that the product was refused for reasons other than that it is packaged in reusable containers. Subd. 4. [ENFORCEMENT; REMEDIES.] The attorney general may enforce this section under section 8.31. In addition, a person who would suffer injury from a threatened violation of this section or who does suffer injury from an actual violation of this section may bring an action to enjoin the threatened or actual violation and may recover actual damages, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees from the violator.

[DECEPTIVE CLAIMS; ADOPTION OF FEDERAL GUIDES.] A manufacturer, packager, wholesaler, or retailer who makes, in any manner, an environmental claim for a product, including for the product's packaging, for sale or distribution in this state shall comply with the guides for the use of environmental marketing claims that were issued by the Federal Trade Commission on July 28, 1992, as revised. Subd. 2. [ENFORCEMENT.] A person who violates this section is subject to the penalties and remedies in section 8.31, including a private right of action. Sec. 17. [PILOT PROJECTS; SCHOOL MILK.] The director of the office of waste management shall use a portion of the funds available in fiscal year 1995 for grants under Minnesota Statutes, section 115A.55, for pilot projects to determine the feasibility of long-term use of refillable milk containers for use in schools. The director shall make grants for pilot projects to at least one school or school district located in the metropolitan area, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 473.121, and one school or school district located outside the metropolitan area. Sec. 18. [BEVERAGE CONTAINERS; STUDY AND REPORT.] By December 1, 1994, the director of the office of waste management shall prepare and submit to the legislative commission on waste management a report that analyzes the costs and benefits of discardable beverage containers in relation to the costs and benefits of reusable beverage containers. The director may rely on existing analyses of the advantages and disadvantages of disposable containers and reusable containers and existing analyses of container deposit systems in operation in other states. The director shall analyze at least the effects of discardable and reusable containers on labor and the availability of jobs related to those containers, on breweries, dairies, and other bottlers in the state, on other businesses in the state including retailers, on public health and the environment, and on solid waste management systems. Sec. 19. [WOOD WASTE AND WOOD PRODUCTS RESIDUE; MARKETING PLAN.] By January 1, 1996, the director of the office of waste management, in consultation with wood products manufacturers, users of transport packaging made of wood or wood products, consumers including reusers and recyclers of wood waste and wood products residue, the commissioners of the departments of trade and economic development, public service, and natural resources, the Minnesota technical assistance program, the University of Minnesota extension service, and other interested persons, shall develop a statewide wood waste and wood products residue marketing plan. The plan must: (1) identify generators of wood waste and wood products residue; (2) identify existing and potential markets for wood waste and wood products residue; (3) provide guidelines for the collection, transportation, storage, processing, and reuse or recycling of wood waste and wood products residue; and (4) recommend to the legislative commission on waste management any legislation necessary to encourage development of greater capacity in the state to reuse and recycle wood waste and wood products residue to ensure that those items are managed to maximize their environmental and economic benefits to society. The director shall develop the marketing plan in light of the prohibition on placing transport packaging made of wood or wood products in solid waste or in a solid waste facility under Minnesota Statutes, section 116F.12. The director may include in the marketing plan a recommendation to adjust that prohibition if necessary to implement a sound marketing system for wood waste and wood products residue. Sec. 20. [APPROPRIATION.] $150,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the director of the office of waste management to be available until expended for the purpose of conducting the annual solid waste composition studies required under section 7 and to undertake studies required under section 9."

[NO JUVENILE COURT JURISDICTION OVER CERTAIN OFFENDERS.] Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the juvenile court lacks jurisdiction over proceedings concerning a child described in section 260.015, subdivision 5, paragraph (b). The district court has original and exclusive jurisdiction in criminal proceedings concerning a child described in section 260.015, subdivision 5, paragraph (b). Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 260.115, subdivision 1, is amended to read: Subdivision 1.

Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 1992, section 260.125, is amended to read: 260.125 [REFERENCE FOR PROSECUTION CERTIFICATION TO DISTRICT COURT.] Subdivision 1. When a child is alleged to have violated a state or local law or ordinance committed, after becoming 14 years of age, an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult, the juvenile court may enter an order referring certifying the alleged violation proceeding to the appropriate prosecuting authority district court for action under the criminal laws in force governing the commission of and punishment for violations of statutes or local laws or ordinances. The prosecuting authority to whom the matter is referred shall within the time specified in the order of reference, which time shall not exceed 90 days, file with the court making the order of reference notice of intent to prosecute or not to prosecute. If the prosecuting authority files notice of intent not to prosecute or fails to act within the time specified, the court shall proceed as if no order of reference had been made. If such prosecuting authority files with the court notice of intent to prosecute the jurisdiction of the juvenile court in the matter is terminated. Subd. 2. [ORDER OF REFERENCE CERTIFICATION; REQUIREMENTS.] Except as provided in subdivision 3a or 3b, the juvenile court may order a reference certification to district court only if: (a) (1) a petition has been filed in accordance with the provisions of section 260.131; (b) (2) a motion for certification has been filed by the prosecuting authority; (3) notice has been given in accordance with the provisions of sections 260.135 and 260.141; (c) (4) a hearing has been held in accordance with the provisions of section 260.155 within 30 days of the filing of the reference certification motion, unless good cause is shown by the prosecution or the child as to why the hearing should not be held within this period in which case the hearing shall be held within 90 days of the filing of the motion; and (d) (5) the court finds that (1) there is probable cause, as defined by the rules of criminal procedure promulgated pursuant to section 480.059, to believe the child committed the offense alleged by delinquency petition; and (2) (6) the court finds either: (i) that the presumption of certification created by subdivision 2a applies and the child has not rebutted the presumption by clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court serves public safety; or (ii) that the presumption of certification does not apply and the prosecuting authority has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the child is not suitable to treatment or that the retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court does not serve public safety is not served under the provisions of laws relating to juvenile courts. If the court finds that the prosecutor has not demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in juvenile court does not serve public safety, the court shall retain the proceeding in juvenile court. Subd. 2a. [PRESUMPTION OF CERTIFICATION.] It is presumed that a proceeding involving an offense committed by a child will be certified to district court if: (1) the child was 16 or 17 years old at the time of the offense; and (2) the delinquency petition alleges that the child committed an offense that would result in a presumptive commitment to prison under the sentencing guidelines and applicable statutes. If the court determines that probable cause exists to believe the child committed the alleged offense, the burden is on the child to rebut this presumption by demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that retaining the proceeding in the juvenile court serves public safety. If the court finds that the child has not rebutted the presumption by clear and convincing evidence, the court shall certify the child to district court. Subd. 2b. [PUBLIC SAFETY.] In determining whether the public safety is served by certifying a child to district court, the court shall consider the following factors: (1) the seriousness of the alleged offense in terms of community protection, including the existence of any aggravating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the use of a firearm, and the impact on any victim; (2) the culpability of the child in committing the alleged offense, including the level of the child's participation in planning and carrying out the offense and the existence of any mitigating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines; (3) whether the child committed the alleged offense as a member of a group whose members have been involved in repeated, joint, adjudicated felony-level behavior; (4) the child's prior record of delinquency; (5) the child's programming history, including the child's past willingness to participate meaningfully in available programming; (6) the adequacy of the punishment available in the juvenile justice system; and (7) the dispositional options available for the child. In considering these factors, the court shall give greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the child's prior record of delinquency than to the other factors listed in this subdivision. Subd. 3. [PRIMA FACIE CASE.] A prima facie case that the public safety is not served or that the child is not suitable for treatment shall have been established if the child was at least 16 years of age at the time of the alleged offense and: (1) is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed an aggravated felony against the person and (a) in committing the offense, the child acted with particular cruelty or disregard for the life or safety of another; or (b) the offense involved a high degree of sophistication or planning by the juvenile; or (c) the juvenile, at the time of the offense, used, whether by brandishing, displaying, threatening with, or otherwise employing, a firearm; or (2) is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed murder in the first degree; or (3) is alleged by delinquency petition (a) to have committed the delinquent act of escape from confinement to a state juvenile correctional facility or a local juvenile correctional facility and (b) to have committed an offense as part of, or subsequent to, escape from custody that would be a felony listed in section 609.11, subdivision 9, if committed by an adult; or (4) has been found by the court, pursuant to an admission in court or after trial, to have committed an offense within the preceding 24 months which would be a felony if committed by an adult, and is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed murder in the second or third degree, manslaughter in the first degree, criminal sexual conduct in the first degree or assault in the first degree; or (5) has been found by the court, pursuant to an admission in court or after trial, to have committed two offenses, not in the same behavioral incident, within the preceding 24 months which would be felonies if committed by an adult, and is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed manslaughter in the second degree, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, arson in the first degree, aggravated robbery, or assault in the second degree; or (6) has been found by the court, pursuant to an admission in court or after trial, to have committed two offenses, not in the same behavioral incident, within the preceding 24 months, one or both of which would be the felony of burglary of a dwelling if committed by an adult, and the child is alleged by the delinquency petition to have committed another burglary of a dwelling. For purposes of this subdivision, "dwelling" means a building which is, in whole or in part, usually occupied by one or more persons living there at night; or (7) has previously been found by the court, pursuant to an admission in court or after trial, to have committed three offenses, none in the same behavioral incident, within the preceding 24 months which would be felonies if committed by an adult, and is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed any felony other than those described in clause (2), (4), or (5); or (8) is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed an aggravated felony against the person, other than a violation of section 609.713, in furtherance of criminal activity by an organized gang; or (9) has previously been found by the court, pursuant to an admission in court or after trial, to have committed an offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult, and is alleged by delinquency petition to have committed a felony-level violation of chapter 152 involving the unlawful sale or possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance, while in a park zone or a school zone as defined in section 152.01, subdivisions 12a and 14a.

For the purposes of this subdivision, an "organized gang" means an association of five or more persons, with an established hierarchy, formed to encourage members of the association to perpetrate crimes or to provide support to members of the association who do commit crimes. Subd. 3a. [PRIOR REFERENCE CERTIFICATION; EXCEPTION.] Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 2, and 3 2a, and 2b, the court shall order a reference certification in any felony case where if the prosecutor shows that the child has been previously referred for prosecution prosecuted on a felony charge by an order of reference certification issued pursuant to either a hearing held under subdivision 2 or pursuant to the waiver of the right to such a hearing, other than a prior reference certification in the same case. This subdivision only applies if the child is convicted of the offense or offenses for which the child was prosecuted pursuant to the order of reference certification or of a lesser included lesser-included offense which is a felony. This subdivision does not apply to juvenile offenders who are subject to criminal court jurisdiction under section 609.055. Subd. 3b. [ADULT CHARGED WITH JUVENILE OFFENSE.] The juvenile court has jurisdiction to hold a certification hearing on motion of the prosecuting authority to certify the matter to district court if: (1) an adult is alleged to have committed an offense before the adult's 18th birthday; and (2) a petition is filed under section 260.131 after the adult's 19th birthday and before expiration of the time for filing under section 628.26. The court may not certify the matter to district court under this subdivision if the adult demonstrates that the delay was purposefully caused by the state in order to gain an unfair advantage. Subd. 4. [EFFECT OF ORDER.] When the juvenile court enters an order referring certifying an alleged violation to a prosecuting authority district court, the prosecuting authority shall proceed with the case as if the jurisdiction of the juvenile court had never attached. Subd. 5. [WRITTEN FINDINGS; OPTIONS.] The court shall decide whether to order certification to district court within 15 days after the certification hearing was completed, unless additional time is needed, in which case the court may extend the period up to another 15 days. If the juvenile court orders a reference for prosecution certification, and the presumption described in subdivision 2a does not apply, the order shall contain in writing, findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why the child is not suitable to treatment or the public safety is not served under by retaining the provisions of laws relating to proceeding in the juvenile courts court. If the juvenile court, after a hearing conducted pursuant to subdivision 2, decides not to order a reference for prosecution certification to district court, the decision shall contain, in writing, findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why a reference for prosecution certification is not ordered. If the juvenile court decides not to order certification in a case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a applies, the court shall designate the child a serious youthful offender and include in its decision written findings of fact and conclusions of law as to why the retention of the proceeding in juvenile court serves public safety, with specific reference to the factors listed in subdivision 2b. If the court decides not to order certification in a case in which the presumption described in subdivision 2a does not apply, the court may designate the child a serious youthful offender. Subd. 6. [FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.] When a motion for certification has been filed in a case in which the petition alleges that the child committed murder in the first degree, the prosecuting authority shall present the case to the grand jury for consideration of indictment under chapter 628 within 14 days after the petition was filed. Subd. 7. [INAPPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN OFFENDERS.] This section does not apply to a child described in section 260.015, subdivision 5, paragraph (b). Sec. 15.

Subd. 2. [PROCEEDINGS.] A child who is a serious youthful offender has the right to a trial by jury and to the effective assistance of counsel, as described in section 260.155, subdivision 2. Subd. 3. [DISPOSITION.] (a) If a serious youthful offender proceeding results in a guilty plea or finding of guilt, the court shall: (1) impose one or more juvenile dispositions under section 260.185; and (2) impose an adult criminal sentence, the execution of which shall be stayed on the condition that the offender not violate the provisions of the disposition order and not commit a new offense. (b) If a child designated as a serious youthful offender in the delinquency petition is convicted of an offense that would not result in a presumptive commitment to prison under the sentencing guidelines and applicable statutes, the court shall adjudicate the child delinquent and order a disposition under section 260.185. Subd. 4. [EXECUTION OF ADULT SENTENCE.] When it appears that a person convicted as a serious youthful offender has violated the conditions of the stayed sentence, or is alleged to have committed a new offense, the court may, without notice, revoke the stay and probation and direct that the offender be taken into immediate custody. The court shall notify the offender in writing of the reasons alleged to exist for revocation of the stay of execution of the adult sentence. If the offender challenges the reasons, the court shall hold a summary hearing on the issue at which the offender is entitled to be heard and represented by counsel. After the hearing, if the court finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay of execution of sentence, the court shall treat the offender as an adult and order any of the adult sanctions authorized by section 609.14, subdivision 3. If the offender was convicted of an offense described in subdivision 1, clause (2), and the court finds that reasons exist to revoke the stay, the court must order execution of the previously-imposed sentence unless the court makes written findings regarding the mitigating factors that justify continuing the stay.

(d) Traffic investigation reports are open to inspection by a person who has sustained physical harm or economic loss as a result of the traffic accident. Identifying information on juveniles who are parties to traffic accidents may be disclosed as authorized under section 13.82, subdivision 4, and accident reports required under section 169.09 may be released under section 169.09, subdivision 13, unless the information would identify a juvenile who was taken into custody or who is suspected of committing an offense that would be a crime if committed by an adult, or would associate a juvenile with the offense, and the offense is not a minor petty misdemeanor-level traffic offense under section 260.193. (e) Peace officer records of children who are or may be delinquent or who may be engaged in criminal activity may be disseminated to school officials without a juvenile court order when the information in the records is pertinent and necessary to maintaining order and safety in the school building and on school property. A school official who receives peace officer records under this paragraph may use the information only for the purpose of maintaining order and safety in the school building and on school property. The classification of the data while in the hands of the school official is governed by section 13.03, subdivision 4. When records are disseminated under this paragraph, the law enforcement agency must notify the parent or guardian of the subject of the record that the information has been shared with school officials. As used in this paragraph, "school" means a public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school. Sec. 25.

Court jurisdiction under section 260.015, subdivision 2a, clause (12), may not continue past the child's 17th birthday. Sec. 27.

[17B.042] [PROTEIN ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT; COMMISSIONER MAY PROVIDE BY LEASE.] Subdivision 1. [EQUIPMENT LEASING PROGRAM; PURPOSE.] The legislature finds that Minnesota wheat producers face a critical problem because country elevators currently use a wide variety of technologies, brands, and models of wheat protein analysis equipment. Inaccurate and inconsistent protein readings on wheat samples result in the loss of millions of dollars of income each year for farmers, and contribute to further decline in the economic base of Minnesota's rural communities. The legislature further finds that country elevators often lack the resources to acquire adequate, reliable protein testing equipment on their own. It is therefore found to be in the public interest for the commissioner of agriculture to establish a voluntary program to lease to country elevators, at cost, high quality wheat protein testing equipment. Subd. 2. [SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT; PILOT LEASING PROGRAM.] Not later than April 1, 1995, the commissioner shall evaluate available wheat protein analysis equipment and determine a brand and model to be used in the pilot lease program. Selection may be made on the basis of competitive bid price but must also take into consideration operational factors such as reliability, replicability, durability, ease of calibration and use, and the availability of comprehensive operator training. Subd. 3. [PARTICIPATION IN PILOT EQUIPMENT LEASE PROGRAM; ELIGIBILITY.] The commissioner shall designate up to eight counties in which to implement the pilot equipment lease program. Subd. 4. [TERMS OF LEASE.] The commissioner shall establish terms and conditions of the protein equipment test program so that the cost of equipment will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the equipment.
