§ 241.275 PRODUCTIVE DAY INITIATIVE PROGRAMS; CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES.
Status: repealed

§ Subdivision 1. Program establishment. (a) As used in this section, "correctional facility" includes a community-based day program in which an adult or juvenile offender is placed as part of a sentence or disposition order, if the program provides close supervision of offenders through such means as electronic monitoring and drug and alcohol testing. (b) All counties are encouraged to establish a productive day initiative program for adult and juvenile offenders under their jurisdiction. The productive day program shall be designed to motivate offenders to develop basic life and work skills through training and education, thereby creating opportunities for offenders to achieve more successful integration into the community upon their release.

§ Subd. 2. Program components. The productive day initiative programs may include, but are not limited to, components described in paragraphs (a) to (c). (a) The initiative programs may contain programs designed to promote the offender's self-esteem, self-discipline, and economic self-sufficiency by providing structured training and education with respect to basic life skills, including hygiene, personal financial budgeting, literacy, and conflict management. (b) The programs may contain individualized educational, vocational, and work programs designed to productively occupy an offender for at least eight hours a day. (c) The program administrators may develop correctional industry programs, including marketing efforts to attract work opportunities both inside correctional facilities and outside in the community. Program options may include expanding and reorganizing on-site industry programs, locating off-site industry work areas, community service work programs, and employment programs. To develop innovative work programs, program administrators may enlist members of the business and labor community to help target possible productive enterprises for offender work programs. (d) Whenever offenders are assigned to work within the correctional facility or with any state department or agency, local unit of government, or other government subdivision, the program administrator must certify to the appropriate bargaining agent that work performed by offenders will not result in the displacement of current employed workers or workers on seasonal layoff or layoff from a substantially equivalent position, including partial displacement such as reduction in hours of work other than overtime work, wages, or other employment benefits.

§ Subd. 3. Eligibility. The administrators of each productive day program shall develop criteria for offender eligibility for the program.

§ Subd. 4. Evaluation. The administrators of each of the productive day initiative programs shall develop program evaluation tools to monitor the success of the programs.

The early voting official must confirm that the voter's registration is current in the statewide voter registration system and that the voter has not already cast a ballot in the election. If the voter's status is challenged, the voter may resolve the challenge as provided in section 204C.12 . An individual who is not registered to vote must register and a voter whose name or address has changed must update the voter's registration in the manner provided in section 201.061, subdivision 3. A voter who has already cast a ballot in the election must not be provided with a ballot. (b) Each voter must sign the certification provided in section 204C.10 . The signature of an individual on the voter's certificate and the issuance of a ballot to the individual is evidence of the intent of the individual to vote at that election. After the voter signs the certification, two early voting officials must initial the ballot and issue it to the voter. The voter must immediately retire to a voting station or other designated location in the polling place to mark the ballot. The voter must not take a ballot from the polling place. If the voter spoils the ballot, the voter may return it to the early voting official in exchange for a new ballot. After completing the ballot, the voter must deposit the ballot into the ballot counter and ballot box. The early voting official must immediately record that the voter has voted in the manner provided in section 203B.121, subdivision 3 .

§ Subd. 3. Processing of ballots. Each day when early voting occurs, the early voting officials must: (1) remove and secure ballots cast, noting the date, voting location, and number of ballots cast; (2) without inspecting the ballots, ensure that the number of ballots removed from the ballot box is equal to the number of voter certificates that were signed by voters in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); and (3) seal and secure all voted and unvoted ballots present in that location at the end of the day. The ballot board must count the ballots after the polls have closed on election day following the procedures in section 203B.121, subdivision 5 , paragraph (b).
