129.21     (2) has required the site's property owner to remediate the

130.5   paragraph (c).  
130.6      (c) A mortgagee is not responsible for cleanup costs under

131.1      (f) Loans must be made only to recipients with clandestine 
131.2   lab ordinances that address remediation.

132.14     (1) state that a nuisance as defined in subdivision 2 is 
132.15  maintained or permitted in the building and must specify the 
132.16  kind or kinds of nuisance being maintained or permitted; 
132.17     (2) summarize the evidence that a nuisance is maintained or

132.21     (3) inform the recipient that failure to abate the conduct 
132.22  constituting the nuisance or to otherwise resolve the matter 
132.23  with the prosecuting attorney within 30 days of service of the

132.25  district court that could, among other remedies, result in 
132.26  enjoining the use of the building for any purpose for one year 
132.27  or, in the case of a tenant, could result in cancellation of the 
132.28  lease; and 
132.29     (4) inform the owner of the options available under section 
132.30  617.85.

132.35     617.85 [NUISANCE; MOTION TO CANCEL LEASE.] 
132.36     Where notice is provided under section 617.81, subdivision 
133.1   4, that an abatement of a nuisance is sought and the 
133.2   circumstances that are the basis for the requested abatement 
133.3   involved the acts of a commercial or residential tenant or 
133.4   lessee of part or all of a building, the owner of the building

133.7   motion to cancel the lease or otherwise secure restitution of 
133.8   the premises from the tenant or lessee who has maintained or 
133.9   conducted the nuisance.  The owner may assign to the prosecuting 
133.10  attorney the right to file this motion.  In addition to the 
133.11  grounds provided in chapter 566, the maintaining or conducting 
133.12  of a nuisance as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, by a

133.24  maintained or conducted a nuisance in any portion of the 
133.25  building, the court shall order cancellation of the lease or 
133.26  tenancy and grant restitution of the premises to the owner.  The 
133.27  court must not order abatement of the premises if the court:  
133.28     (a) cancels a lease or tenancy and grants restitution of 
133.29  that portion of the premises to the owner; and 
133.30     (b) further finds that the act or acts constituting the 
133.31  nuisance as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, were 
133.32  committed by the tenant or lessee whose lease or tenancy has 
133.33  been canceled pursuant to this section and the tenant or lessee

134.7   (2), electronically or by the Internet.  By February 1, 2006, 
134.8   the commissioner shall report its findings to the legislature.  
134.9   The report may include a proposal to enable pharmacies to switch 
134.10  from written logs to electronic logs that are compatible with 
134.11  the proposed system, and suggested statutory changes and a cost 
134.12  estimate to accomplish this. 
134.13     Sec. 20.  [BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICINE REPORT, PRECURSOR 
134.14  ANIMAL PRODUCTS.]

134.30  (b), and subdivision 3, as amended by this article, that relate

134.32  intent to manufacture methamphetamine and the penalties for 
134.33  doing this into a new section of law codified as Minnesota 
134.34  Statutes, section 152.0262.  The revisor shall make any 
134.35  necessary technical changes, including, but not limited to, 
134.36  changes to statutory cross-references, to Minnesota Statutes, 
135.1   section 152.021, and any other statutory sections to accomplish
