Minnesota Statutes Public Welfare and Related Activities (Ch. 245-267) § 246B.08. Payment for care; order; action

The commissioner shall issue an order to the civilly committed sex offender or the guardian of the estate, if there is one, requiring the civilly committed sex offender or guardian to pay to the state the amounts determined, the total of which must not exceed the full cost of care. The order must specifically state the commissioner's determination and must be conclusive, unless appealed. If a civilly committed sex offender fails to pay the amount due, the attorney general, upon request of the commissioner, may institute, or direct the appropriate county attorney to institute, a civil action to recover the amount.
