PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

 

 

      The following communications were received:

 

 

STATE OF MINNESOTA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

SAINT PAUL 55155

 

May 10, 2017

 

The Honorable Kurt Daudt

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

 

Dear Speaker Daudt:

 

I have vetoed and am returning H. F. No. 809, Chapter No. 31.

 

House File 809 infringes upon women's basic right to health and safety – a right of every woman, regardless of the type of health insurance she has.  The law already states that state funding may only be used for abortions in cases of rape or incest, for health or therapeutic reasons, and when a woman's life is in danger.  This bill would interfere with critical medical decisions that should be made between a woman and her doctor.

 

All women deserve to be healthy and safe.  I will not approve a bill that infringes upon Minnesotans' Constitutionally-protected rights, discriminates against women because of their socioeconomic status, or does not protect their health and safety.

 

 

                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

 

                                                                                                                                Mark Dayton

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

SAINT PAUL 55155

 

May 10, 2017

 

The Honorable Kurt Daudt

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

 

Dear Speaker Daudt:

 

I have vetoed and am returning H. F. No. 812, Chapter No. 33, a bill which would impose licensure requirements only upon facilities performing abortions.


Journal of the House - 53rd Day - Thursday, May 11, 2017 - Top of Page 5693

This bill would impose new requirements on clinics that perform ten or more abortions per month.  The licensure criteria in the bill are overly broad and unnecessary.  Its supporters cite lack of statutory authority for the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to regulate or license clinics.  However, MDH believes that current professional licensing standards provide sufficient oversight to protect the health and safety of Minnesotans.

 

Furthermore, the licensure application process outlined in the bill requires MDH to collect information about clinic workers, but fails to protect the privacy of those workers.  This requirement appears to target health professionals who provide abortion services.

 

Health care research, findings, and conclusions are best left to experts, who are trained to make medical, not political, decisions, and who are in the best position to protect a woman's health.

 

Our place is not between a woman and her doctor.

 

 

                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

 

                                                                                                                                Mark Dayton

                                                                                                                                Governor

Reported the same back with the following amendments:

 

Page 6, after line 1, insert:

 

"Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 2016, section 260C.007, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 6.  Child in need of protection or services.  "Child in need of protection or services" means a child who is in need of protection or services because the child:

 

(1) is abandoned or without parent, guardian, or custodian;

 

(2)(i) has been a victim of physical or sexual abuse as defined in section 626.556, subdivision 2, (ii) resides with or has resided with a victim of child abuse as defined in subdivision 5 or domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13, (iii) resides with or would reside with a perpetrator of domestic child abuse as defined in subdivision 13 or child abuse as defined in subdivision 5 or 13, or (iv) is a victim of emotional maltreatment as defined in subdivision 15;

(4) is without the special care made necessary by a physical, mental, or emotional condition because the child's parent, guardian, or custodian is unable or unwilling to provide that care;

 

(5) is medically neglected, which includes, but is not limited to, the withholding of medically indicated treatment from a disabled infant with a life-threatening condition.  The term "withholding of medically indicated treatment" means the failure to respond to the infant's life-threatening conditions by providing treatment, including appropriate nutrition, hydration, and medication which, in the treating physician's or physicians' reasonable medical judgment, will be most likely to be effective in ameliorating or correcting all conditions, except that the term does not include the failure to provide treatment other than appropriate nutrition, hydration, or medication to an infant when, in the treating physician's or physicians' reasonable medical judgment:

 

(i) the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose;


Journal of the House - 53rd Day - Thursday, May 11, 2017 - Top of Page 5695

(ii) the provision of the treatment would merely prolong dying, not be effective in ameliorating or correcting all of the infant's life-threatening conditions, or otherwise be futile in terms of the survival of the infant; or

 

(iii) the provision of the treatment would be virtually futile in terms of the survival of the infant and the treatment itself under the circumstances would be inhumane;

 

(6) is one whose parent, guardian, or other custodian for good cause desires to be relieved of the child's care and custody, including a child who entered foster care under a voluntary placement agreement between the parent and the responsible social services agency under section 260C.227;

 

(7) has been placed for adoption or care in violation of law;

 

(8) is without proper parental care because of the emotional, mental, or physical disability, or state of immaturity of the child's parent, guardian, or other custodian;

 

(9) is one whose behavior, condition, or environment is such as to be injurious or dangerous to the child or others.  An injurious or dangerous environment may include, but is not limited to, the exposure of a child to criminal activity in the child's home;

 

(10) is experiencing growth delays, which may be referred to as failure to thrive, that have been diagnosed by a physician and are due to parental neglect;

 

(11) is a sexually exploited youth;

 

(12) has committed a delinquent act or a juvenile petty offense before becoming ten years old;

 

(13) is a runaway;

 

(14) is a habitual truant;

 

(15) has been found incompetent to proceed or has been found not guilty by reason of mental illness or mental deficiency in connection with a delinquency proceeding, a certification under section 260B.125, an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, or a proceeding involving a juvenile petty offense; or

 

(16) has a parent whose parental rights to one or more other children were involuntarily terminated or whose custodial rights to another child have been involuntarily transferred to a relative and there is a case plan prepared by the responsible social services agency documenting a compelling reason why filing the termination of parental rights petition under section 260C.503, subdivision 2, is not in the best interests of the child.; or

 

(17) is a victim of female genital mutilation in violation of section 609.2245, subdivision 1."

Journal of the House - 53rd Day - Thursday, May 11, 2017 - Top of Page 5696

(2) the parent, guardian, or other person legally responsible or charged with the care or custody of a minor who knowingly allows the circumcision, excision, or infibulation, in whole or in part, of the labia majora, labia minora, or clitoris of the female minor, or any other harmful procedure to the female genitalia for nonmedical purposes, including but not limited to pricking, piercing, incising, scraping, and cauterization of the female minor's genitals.
