Bill > SF3606

This bill modifies how administrative hearings are conducted for human rights cases in Minnesota, specifically amending Minnesota Statutes, section 363A.29, subdivision 1. Previously, a determination issued by the commissioner could be heard as a contested case, and the administrative law judge's report was binding. This bill clarifies that a party contesting a commissioner's determination can request a hearing, and the commissioner must decide within 30 days whether to forward this request to the Court of Administrative Hearings, which will then schedule the hearing. The bill also removes language specifying where the hearing must be held, focusing instead on the process of forwarding the request and the subsequent conduct of the hearing according to established administrative procedures and appeal rights.
