11.8APPLICABILITY OF MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCES

11.9    Section 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT.
11.10The legislature finds that emerging research on brain development indicates that
11.11adolescent brains, and thus adolescent intellectual and emotional capabilities, differ
11.12significantly from those of mature adults. It is appropriate to take these differences into
11.13consideration when sentencing extended jurisdiction juveniles and juveniles tried as
11.14adults. The legislature further finds that requiring mandatory minimum sentences for these
11.15juveniles prevents judges from taking these differences into consideration in appropriate
11.16circumstances. The legislature intends to eliminate the nondiscretionary application of
11.17mandatory minimum sentences to extended jurisdiction juveniles and to juveniles tried as
11.18adults, while continuing to apply all other adult sentencing provisions to these juveniles.

11.19    Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260B.125, is amended by adding a
11.20subdivision to read:
11.21    Subd. 11. Applicability of mandatory minimum sentences. Notwithstanding
11.22any other law to the contrary, when a person who has been convicted of an offense that
11.23has been certified under this section is sentenced, the sentencing court is not required
11.24to sentence the person under the terms of a mandatory minimum sentence that would
11.25otherwise be applicable to the offense.

11.26    Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 260B.130, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
11.27    Subd. 4. Disposition. (a) If an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution results in a
11.28guilty plea or finding of guilt, the court shall:
11.29(1) impose one or more juvenile dispositions under section 260B.198; and
11.30(2) impose an adult criminal sentence, the execution of which shall be stayed on
11.31the condition that the offender not violate the provisions of the disposition order and
11.32not commit a new offense.
12.1(b) If a child prosecuted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile after designation by
12.2the prosecutor in the delinquency petition is convicted of an offense after trial that is not
12.3an offense described in subdivision 1, clause (2), the court shall adjudicate the child
12.4delinquent and order a disposition under section 260B.198. If the extended jurisdiction
12.5juvenile proceeding results in a guilty plea for an offense not described in subdivision 1,
12.6clause (2), the court may impose a disposition under paragraph (a) if the child consents.
12.7(c) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, when imposing an adult sentence
12.8under paragraph (a), clause (2), the court is not required to sentence the child under the
12.9terms of a mandatory minimum sentence that would otherwise be applicable to the offense.
