253D.07 PROCEEDINGS. Subdivision 1. Commitment generally. Before commitment proceedings are instituted, the facts shall first be submitted to the county attorney, who, if satisfied that good cause exists, will prepare the petition. The county attorney may request a prepetition screening report. The petition is to be executed by a person having knowledge of the facts and filed with the district court of the county of financial responsibility, as defined in section 253B.02, subdivision 4c, or the county where the respondent is present. If the respondent is in the custody of the commissioner of corrections, the petition may be filed in the county where the conviction for which the person is incarcerated was entered. Subd. 2. Petition. Upon the filing of a petition alleging that a proposed respondent is a sexually dangerous person or a person with a sexual psychopathic personality, all of the applicable procedures contained in sections 253B.07 and 253B.08 apply to the commitment proceeding. Subd. 3. Secure treatment facility. If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent is a sexually dangerous person or a person with a sexual psychopathic personality, the court shall commit the person to a secure treatment facility unless the person establishes by clear and convincing evidence that a less restrictive treatment program is available, is willing to accept the respondent under commitment, and is consistent with the person's treatment needs and the requirements of public safety. Subd. 4. Period of commitment. After a determination that a respondent is a sexually dangerous person or a person with a sexual psychopathic personality, the court shall order commitment for an indeterminate period of time and the committed person shall be transferred, provisionally discharged, or discharged, only as provided in this chapter. Subd. 5. Not to constitute defense. The existence in any person of a condition of a sexual psychopathic personality or the fact that a person is a sexually dangerous person shall not in any case constitute a defense to a charge of crime, nor relieve such person from liability to be tried upon a criminal charge.

The court may grant the motion if: (1) the Department of Corrections refers the case for commitment of a sexually dangerous person or a person with a sexual psychopathic personality; or (2) upon a showing that the requested category of data or records may be relevant to the determination by the county attorney or designee. The court shall decide a motion under this section within 48 hours after a hearing on the motion. Notice to the proposed committed person need not be given upon a showing that such notice may result in harm or harassment of interested persons or potential witnesses. Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 13 or other state law, a county attorney considering the civil commitment of a person under this chapter may obtain records and data from the Department of Corrections or any probation or parole agency in this state upon request, without a court order, for the purpose of determining whether good cause exists to file a petition and, if a petition is filed, to support the allegations set forth in the petition. At the time of the request for the records, the county attorney shall provide notice of the request to the person who is the subject of the records. Data collected pursuant to this section shall retain their original status and, if not public, are inadmissible in any court proceeding unrelated to civil commitment, unless otherwise permitted.

If the supreme court creates the judicial panel authorized by this section, all petitions for civil commitment brought under section 253D.07 shall be filed with the supreme court instead of with the district court in the county where the proposed patient is present, notwithstanding any provision of section 253D.07 to the contrary.
