6.2of imprisonment that the court may impose on a person convicted of violating this section,
6.3the court shall impose a fine of not less than $200 nor more than the maximum amount

6.9of demand to the court administrator. The required proof of insurance may be sent by mail
6.10by the driver as long as it is received no later than the date and time specified in the
6.11citation for the driver's first court appearance. If a citation is issued, no person shall be
6.12convicted of violating this section if the court administrator receives the required proof of
6.13insurance no later than the date and time specified in the citation for the driver's first court
6.14appearance. If the charge is made other than by citation, no person shall be convicted of

9.10    Subdivision 1. General rule. Except as provided in subdivision 2, an alleged
9.11misdemeanor violation must be treated as a petty misdemeanor if the prosecuting attorney
9.12believes that it is in the interest of justice that the defendant not be imprisoned if convicted
9.13and certifies that belief to the court at or before the time of arraignment or pretrial hearing,
9.14and the court approves of the certification motion. Prior to the appointment of a public
9.15defender to represent a defendant charged with a misdemeanor, the court shall inquire of
9.16the prosecutor whether the prosecutor intends to certify the case as a petty misdemeanor.
9.17The defendant's consent to the certification is not required. When an offense is certified
9.18as a petty misdemeanor under this section, the defendant's eligibility for court-appointed
9.19counsel must be evaluated as though the offense were a misdemeanor defendant is not
9.20eligible for the appointment of a public defender.

9.24representation by counsel, may at any time request the court in which the matter is pending,
9.25or the court in which the conviction occurred, to appoint a public defender to represent the
9.26person. In a proceeding defined by clause (2) of section 611.14, clause (2), application for
9.27the appointment of a public defender may also be made to a judge of the Supreme Court.

9.28    Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 611.17, is amended to read:
9.29611.17 FINANCIAL INQUIRY; STATEMENTS; CO-PAYMENT;
9.30STANDARDS FOR DISTRICT PUBLIC DEFENSE ELIGIBILITY.
9.31    (a) Each judicial district must screen requests for representation by the district public
9.32defender. A defendant is financially unable to obtain counsel if:
10.1    (1) the defendant, or any dependent of the defendant who resides in the same
10.2household as the defendant, receives means-tested governmental benefits; or is charged
10.3with a misdemeanor and has an annual household income not greater than 125 percent of
10.4the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the United States
10.5Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of United States Code,
10.6title 42, section 9902(2);
10.7(2) the defendant is charged with a gross misdemeanor and has an annual household
10.8income not greater than 150 percent of the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the
10.9Federal Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under
10.10the authority of United States Code, title 42, section 9902(2);
10.11(3) the defendant is charged with a felony and has an annual household income not
10.12greater than 175 percent of the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal
10.13Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the
10.14authority of United States Code, title 42, section 9902(2); or
10.15    (2) (4) the court determines that the defendant, through any combination of liquid
10.16assets and current income, would be unable to pay the reasonable costs charged by private
10.17counsel in that judicial district for a defense of the same matter.
10.18    (b) Upon a request for the appointment of counsel, the court shall make an
10.19appropriate inquiry into the determination of financial circumstances eligibility under
10.20paragraph (a) of the applicant, who shall submit a financial statement under oath or
10.21affirmation setting forth the applicant's assets and liabilities, including the value of any
10.22real property owned by the applicant, whether homestead or otherwise, less the amount of
10.23any encumbrances on the real property, the source or sources of income, and any other
10.24information required by the court. The applicant shall be under a continuing duty while
10.25represented by a public defender to disclose any changes in the applicant's financial
10.26circumstances that might be relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a public defender.
10.27The state public defender shall furnish appropriate forms for the financial statements,
10.28which must be used by the district courts throughout the state. The forms must contain
10.29conspicuous notice of the applicant's continuing duty to disclose to the court changes in
10.30the applicant's financial circumstances. The forms must also contain conspicuous notice
10.31of the applicant's obligation to make a co-payment for the services of the district public
10.32defender, as specified under paragraph (c). The information contained in the statement
10.33shall be confidential and for the exclusive use of the court and the public defender
10.34appointed by the court to represent the applicant except for any prosecution under
10.35section 609.48. A refusal to execute the financial statement or produce financial records
10.36constitutes a waiver of the right to the appointment of a public defender. The court shall
11.1not appoint a district public defender to a defendant who is financially able to retain
11.2private counsel but refuses to do so.
11.3    An inquiry to determine financial eligibility of a defendant for the appointment of
11.4the district public defender shall be made whenever possible prior to the court appearance
11.5and by such persons as the court may direct. This inquiry may be combined with the
11.6prerelease investigation provided for in Minnesota Rule of Criminal Procedure 6.02,
11.7subdivision 3. In no case shall the district public defender be required to perform this
11.8inquiry or investigate the defendant's assets or eligibility. The court has the sole duty to
11.9conduct a financial inquiry. The inquiry must include the following:
11.10    (1) the liquidity of real estate assets, including the defendant's homestead;
11.11    (2) any assets that can be readily converted to cash or used to secure a debt;
11.12    (3) the determination of whether the transfer of an asset is voidable as a fraudulent
11.13conveyance; and
11.14    (4) the value of all property transfers occurring on or after the date of the alleged
11.15offense. The burden is on the accused to show that the accused is financially unable
11.16to afford counsel. Defendants who fail to provide information necessary to determine
11.17eligibility shall be deemed ineligible. The court must not appoint the district public
11.18defender as advisory counsel.
11.19    (c) Upon disposition of the case, an individual who has received public defender
11.20services shall pay to the court a $75 co-payment for representation provided by a public
11.21defender, unless the co-payment is, or has been, reduced in part or waived by the court.
11.22    The co-payment must be credited to the general fund. If a term of probation is
11.23imposed as a part of an offender's sentence, the co-payment required by this section must
11.24not be made a condition of probation. The co-payment required by this section is a civil
11.25obligation and must not be made a condition of a criminal sentence.
11.26(d) The court shall not appoint a public defender to a defendant who is financially
11.27able to retain counsel but refuses to do so, refuses to execute the financial statement or
11.28refuses to provide information necessary to determine financial eligibility under this
11.29section, or waives appointment of a public defender under section 611.19.

11.30    Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 611.18, is amended to read:
11.31611.18 APPOINTMENT OF PUBLIC DEFENDER.
11.32If it appears to a court that a person requesting the appointment of counsel satisfies
11.33the requirements of this chapter, the court shall order the appropriate public defender to
11.34represent the person at all further stages of the proceeding through appeal, if any. For a
11.35person appealing from a conviction, or a person pursuing a postconviction proceeding
12.1and who has not already had a direct appeal of the conviction, according to the standards
12.2of sections 611.14, clause (2), and 611.25, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (2), the
12.3state chief appellate public defender shall be appointed. For a person covered by section
12.4611.14 , clause (1), a (3), or (4), the chief district public defender shall be appointed to
12.5represent that person. If (a) conflicting interests exist, (b) the district public defender for
12.6any other reason is unable to act, or (c) the interests of justice require, the state public
12.7defender may be ordered to represent a person. When the state public defender is directed
12.8by a court to represent a defendant or other person, the state public defender may assign
12.9the representation to any district public defender. If at any stage of the proceedings,
