ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS FOR CERTAIN TRAFFIC OFFENSES.
Subdivision 1. Authority. (a) Except for peace officers employed by

lawful speed limit;
(2) fails to obey a stop
line in violation of section 169.30; or
(3) operates a vehicle that
is in violation of sections 169.46 to 169.68 and 169.69 to 169.75.
(c) The authority to issue

this subdivision.
(d) A peace officer who
issues an administrative citation for the infraction of speeding under ten miles
per hour over the speed limit must use the actual speed a violator's vehicle
was traveling at the time of the infraction and may not reduce the recorded
speed for purposes of qualifying the offense for an administrative citation. An administrative citation issued for
speeding must list the actual speed the vehicle was traveling at the time of
the infraction.
(e) A local unit of
government shall notify the commissioner of public safety after it passes a
resolution described in paragraph (a).
Subd. 2. Officer's

uniform administrative citation issued throughout the state by licensed peace
officers for violations of this section.
No other citation is authorized for violations of this section. The commissioner of public safety shall

necessary and proper. The uniform
administrative citation must include notification that the person has the right
to contest the citation.
Subd. 4. Right
to contest citation. (a) A
peace officer who issues an administrative citation must inform the vehicle
operator that the person has the right to contest the citation.

person must be allowed to challenge the citation before a neutral third

employ a person to hear and rule on challenges to administrative citations or

the service.
Journal of the House - 58th Day - Monday, May 18, 2009 - Top

must be credited to the general revenue fund of the local unit of government
that employs the peace officer who issued the citation, and one-third must be
transferred to the commissioner of finance to be deposited in the state general
fund. A local unit of government
receiving fine proceeds under this section must use at least one-half of the
funds for law enforcement purposes. The
funds must be used to supplement but not supplant any existing law enforcement
funding.
(c) For
fines collected under this section from administrative citations issued by

hearing officer and two-thirds must be transferred to the commissioner of
finance to be deposited in the state general fund.

this section may not be recorded by the Department of Public Safety on the
violator's driving record and does not constitute grounds for revocation or
suspension of the violator's driver's license.
Subd. 8. Administrative
penalty reporting. (a) A
county, statutory or home rule city, or town that employs peace officers who
issue administrative citations and that collects administrative fines under
this section must include that information and the amount collected as separate
categories in any financial report, summary, or audit.
(b) The
state auditor shall annually report to the commissioner of public safety
information concerning administrative fines collected by local units of
government under section 169.999. Upon
request, the commissioner of public safety shall report to the chairs and
ranking minority members of the senate and house of representatives committees
having jurisdiction over criminal justice policy and funding summarizing the
reports the commissioner received under this paragraph.
Subd. 9. Local
preemption. The authority to
issue an administrative citation is exclusively limited to those offenses
listed in subdivision 1. Notwithstanding
any contrary charter provision or ordinance, no statutory or home rule charter
city, county, or town may impose administrative penalties to enforce any other
provision of this chapter.
Sec.
7. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section
357.021, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

court administrator shall collect a $75 surcharge on every person convicted of
any felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or petty misdemeanor offense, other
than a violation of a law or ordinance relating to vehicle parking, for which
there shall be a $4 surcharge. In the
Second Judicial District, the court shall impose, and the court administrator
shall collect, an additional $1 surcharge on every person convicted of any
felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or petty misdemeanor offense, including
a violation of a law or ordinance relating to vehicle parking, if the Ramsey
County Board of Commissioners authorizes the $1 surcharge. The surcharge shall be imposed whether or not
the person is sentenced to imprisonment or the sentence is stayed. The surcharge shall not be imposed when a
person is convicted of a petty misdemeanor for which no fine is imposed.
Journal of the House - 58th Day - Monday, May 18, 2009 - Top
of Page 6910
(b) If the
court fails to impose a surcharge as required by this subdivision, the court administrator
shall show the imposition of the surcharge, collect the surcharge, and correct
the record.
(c) The
court may not waive payment of the surcharge required under this
subdivision. Upon a showing of indigency
or undue hardship upon the convicted person or the convicted person's immediate
family, the sentencing court may authorize payment of the surcharge in
installments.
(d) The
court administrator or other entity collecting a surcharge shall forward it to
the commissioner of finance.
(e) If the
convicted person is sentenced to imprisonment and has not paid the surcharge
before the term of imprisonment begins, the chief executive officer of the
correctional facility in which the convicted person is incarcerated shall
collect the surcharge from any earnings the inmate accrues from work performed
in the facility or while on conditional release. The chief executive officer shall forward the
amount collected to the commissioner of finance.
(f) The surcharge does not apply to administrative citations issued pursuant to section 169.999.
