Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Standard and liability. A director shall discharge the duties of the position of director in good faith, in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the cooperative, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances.

§ Subd. 2. Reliance. (a) A director is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers or employees of the cooperative who the director reasonably believes to be liable and competent in the matters presented; (2) counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence; or (3) a committee of the board upon which the director does not serve, duly established by the board, as to matters within its designated authority, if the director reasonably believes the committee to merit confidence. (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to a director who has knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes the reliance otherwise permitted by paragraph (a) unwarranted.

§ Subd. 3. Presumption of assent and dissent. A director who is present at a meeting of the board when an action is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present is presumed to have assented to the action approved, unless the director: (1) objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate in the meeting after the objection, in which case the director is not considered to be present at the meeting for any purpose of this chapter; (2) votes against the action at the meeting; or (3) is prohibited by a conflict of interest from voting on the action.

§ Subd. 4. Considerations. In discharging the duties of the position of director, a director may, in considering the best interests of the cooperative, consider the interests of the cooperative's employees, customers, suppliers, and creditors, the economy of the state, and long-term as well as short-term interests of the cooperative and its patron members, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the cooperative.

§ Subd. 5. Relation to other law. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a director of a cooperative organized and operating under this chapter is governed by the standard of conduct under this section.

Status: in_force

A person who asks to be excused from attending and testifying or from producing any books, papers, records, correspondence, or other documents at any hearing on the ground that the testimony or evidence required may tend to incriminate or subject the person to a penalty or forfeiture, who is nevertheless directed to give the testimony or produce the evidence, shall comply with the direction.

§ 35.0662 TEMPORARY EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS HEARING.
Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Grounds. If the board determines that a person is not reasonably likely to abide by the disease control measures established by the board, the board may request a court hearing to determine if the emergency temporary restrictions should continue. The court shall schedule the hearing as expeditiously as possible. When the board requests a court hearing under this section, restrictions under section 35.0661, subdivision 3 , continue to apply to the person until the court has held the temporary emergency restrictions hearing and issues an order.

§ Subd. 2. Time of notice. If the board requests a court hearing pursuant to this section, notice of the hearing must be served upon the person or persons to be restricted at least 24 hours before the hearing.

§ Subd. 3. Contents of notice. The notice must contain the following information: (1) the time, date, and place of the hearing; (2) the grounds and underlying facts upon which continued restrictions are sought; (3) the person's right to appear by electronic means at the hearing and the right to have a representative appear in person at the hearing; (4) the person's right to present and cross-examine witnesses; and (5) the person's right to counsel, including the right, if the person is indigent, to representation by counsel designated by the court or county of venue.

§ Subd. 4. Order for continued temporary restrictions. The court may order the continued restriction on the movement of the person if it finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that travel outside of the quarantine zone by the person would pose an imminent threat of transporting a dangerous, infectious, or communicable disease outside of the boundaries of the quarantine zone. If the person agrees to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form referred to in section 35.0661, subdivision 3 , the temporary restrictions must not continue longer than 30 days. If the person refuses to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form, the temporary restrictions may continue for a longer time specified by the court. Refusal by the person to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form constitutes a knowing violation of section 35.0661 and subjects the person to the penalties specified in section 35.96 .

§ Subd. 2. Prescription expiration date. A prescription written by an optometrist or physician must expire two years after it is written, unless a different expiration date is warranted by the patient's ocular health.

An optometrist or physician must promptly respond to any request received from a physician, optometrist, optician, or contact lens retailer to verify a patient's prescription information in order for the person requesting the information to accurately dispense the contact lenses. Verification must be requested by telephone, fax, or through electronic communications during the prescriber's normal business hours. Consistently failing to respond to verification requests within a reasonable period of time is grounds for disciplinary action by the respective regulatory board.

§ Subd. 4. Prohibited conduct. When filling a contact lens prescription, no optometrist, physician, or contact lens retailer may: (1) substitute or in any way dispense a different contact lens than the contact lens ordered on the prescription; (2) dispense a contact lens for a period of time beyond the written expiration date; or (3) dispense contact lenses that are not based on prescription parameters pursuant to a valid prescription.

§ Subd. 2. 180-day time limit.
