The classification plan must be reviewed and approved by the commissioner of corrections.

Subp. 2.Separation of residents by gender.

There must be complete separation of living and sanitation facilities to the extent necessary to ensure a resident's privacy from residents of the opposite gender. Gender-appropriate program services must be provided to male and female residents separately when possible.

Subp. 3.Residents who may have sexually abusive behaviors.

The license holder must take special precautions when a resident is considered likely to have sexually abusive behavior.

The license holder's care for a resident likely to have sexually abusive behavior must protect the resident, other residents, staff, and the community. The license holder must consider the vulnerability of other residents in the facility.
