Statute of limitations for actions under the Minnesota Human Rights Act amended.

HF 2855 amends Minnesota's statute of limitations for discrimination claims under the Human Rights Act, extending the filing deadline from one year to ten years after the discriminatory practice occurs. This change directly affects individuals who experience employment, housing, or public accommodation discrimination by giving them significantly more time to file a civil lawsuit. The bill also adds that the ten-year period is suspended during voluntary dispute resolution processes (like mediation or arbitration) if both parties notify the Human Rights Department in writing. The amendment modifies Minnesota Statutes section 363A.28, subdivision 3, to reflect these changes to filing timelines and suspension rules.
