HF 2451 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Office of Administrative Hearings renamed Court of Administrative Hearings, and opportunity for remand provided.

This bill renames Minnesota's "Office of Administrative Hearings" to "Court of Administrative Hearings" in state statutes. It adds a new provision allowing state agencies to request "remand" (reconsideration of a case) within 45 days after a hearing ends, if they believe the administrative law judge's findings or recommendations need adjustment. The change clarifies that agencies must state reasons for requesting remand, and the chief administrative law judge may grant extensions for good cause. This affects administrative law judges, state agencies handling contested cases, and individuals involved in administrative hearings. The bill amends specific sections of Minnesota Statutes (14.48, 14.62) and repeals outdated sections (211B.06, 211B.08).
