Technical and housekeeping changes made to various provisions governing or administered by the Department of Commerce, and administrative rulemaking authorized.

HF 2398 makes technical and administrative updates to several Minnesota statutes governing the Department of Commerce, focusing on clarifying existing rules rather than creating new policies. It adjusts the technology surcharge for licenses requiring continuing education (capping it at $40 per two-year period and requiring fund balance adjustments to stay under $2 million), clarifies notice requirements for financial institutions when transferring or closing deposit accounts (mandating 30 days' notice except in fraud cases), and authorizes the Department to use administrative rules to manage permissible investments for money transmission companies. These changes aim to improve regulatory clarity and efficiency for licensees, financial institutions, and money transmission companies. The bill does not introduce new substantive requirements but streamlines existing administrative processes.
