PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS

 

Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 299A.42, is amended to read:

 

299A.42 [PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER'S BENEFIT ACCOUNT.]

 

The public safety officer's benefit account is created in the state treasury. Money in the account consists of money transferred and appropriated to that account. Money in the account that is not expended in the fiscal year in which it is transferred or appropriated does not revert to the general fund until claims for reimbursement under section 299A.465 that are submitted in that fiscal year are either paid or denied.

 

[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective the day following final enactment.

 

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 299A.44, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1. [PAYMENT REQUIRED.] (a) On certification to the governor by the commissioner of public safety that a public safety officer employed within this state has been killed in the line of duty, leaving a spouse or one or more eligible dependents, the commissioner of finance shall pay $100,000 from the public safety officer's benefit account, as follows:

 

(1) if there is no dependent child, to the spouse;

 

(2) if there is no spouse, to the dependent child or children in equal shares;

 

(3) if there are both a spouse and one or more dependent children, one-half to the spouse and one-half to the child or children, in equal shares;

 

(4) if there is no surviving spouse or dependent child or children, to the parent or parents dependent for support on the decedent, in equal shares; or


Journal of the House - 50th Day - Tuesday, May 6, 2003 - Top of Page 3365

(5) if there is no surviving spouse, dependent child, or dependent parent, then no payment may be made from the public safety officer's benefit fund to the public safety officer's estate.

 

(b) If there are both a spouse and one or more dependent children under age 18, the spouse, at the spouse's discretion, may spend a maximum of one-third of a child's share on medical or dental treatment for the child or the child's education. Expenditures under this paragraph on behalf of a child do not diminish the shares of any other children. In addition, a spouse, at the spouse's discretion, may expend money from a child's share to pay state and federal taxes on any interest accrued on the share.

 

[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective retroactively from July 1, 2002.

 

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 299A.465, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 4. [PUBLIC EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT.] A public employer subject to this section may annually apply to the commissioner of public safety for reimbursement to help defray a portion of its costs of complying with this section. Applications must be submitted by August 1 for claims relating to the preceding fiscal year. The commissioner shall provide reimbursement to the public employer out of the public safety officer's benefit account. Reimbursement may be less than the total claim and may be prorated based on the number of eligible peace officers, firefighters, and qualifying dependents. An individual share must not exceed the actual cost to a public employer to provide coverage for an individual under this section.

 

[EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective the day following final enactment.

 

Sec. 4. [APPROPRIATION.]

 

$344,000 is appropriated from the general fund in fiscal year 2003 to the commissioner of public safety for the purposes of this article. This is a onetime appropriation.

If this notice is not given, the commissioner shall issue an opinion within 20 days of receipt of the request.

 

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

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 13.072, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 2. [EFFECT.] Opinions issued by the commissioner under this section are not binding on the state agency, statewide system, government entity or political subdivision members of a body subject to chapter 13D whose data or performance of duties is the subject of the opinion, but an opinion described in subdivision 1, paragraph (a), must be given deference by a court in a proceeding involving the data.

This section does not preclude a person from bringing any other action under this chapter or other law in addition to or instead of requesting a written opinion. A government entity, members of a body subject to chapter 13D, or person that acts in conformity with a written opinion of the commissioner issued to the government entity, members, or person or to another party is not liable for compensatory or exemplary damages or awards of attorneys fees in actions under section 13.08 or for a penalty under section 13.09 or for fines, awards of attorney fees, or any other penalty under chapter 13D.

This penalty is payable to the state general fund and is in addition to damages under subdivision 1. The matter shall be heard as soon as possible. In an action involving a request for government data under section 13.03 or 13.04, the court may


Journal of the House - 50th Day - Tuesday, May 6, 2003 - Top of Page 3388

inspect in camera the government data in dispute, but shall conduct its hearing in public and in a manner that protects the security of data classified as not public. If the court issues an order to compel compliance under this subdivision, the court shall forward a copy of the order to the commissioner of administration.

 

(b) In determining whether to assess a civil penalty under this subdivision, the court shall consider whether the government entity has substantially complied with general data practices under this chapter, including but not limited to, whether the government entity has:

(1) The use of the social security number is continuous. If the use is stopped for any reason, subdivision 4 applies.

 

(2) The individual is provided an annual disclosure, commencing in 2005, that informs the individual that the individual has the right to stop the use of the individual's social security number in a manner prohibited by subdivision 4.

Subd. 7. [COORDINATION WITH OTHER LAW.] This section does not prevent the collection, use, or release of a social security number as required by state or federal law or the use of a social security number for internal verification or administrative purposes.

 

Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2002, section 13.37, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:
