HF 3875 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Judiciary policy bill.

This bill clarifies how courts publish notices and modifies several legal procedures in Minnesota, including changes to restitution rules, conciliation court jurisdiction, juror data collection, and no-fault arbitration thresholds. It expands the amount eligible for mandatory binding arbitration from $10,000 to $20,000 and updates how certain personal data, such as race and ethnicity information, is shared with the judicial branch for jury selection purposes. The legislation also allows district courts to publish their own notices online and adjusts the conciliation court's monetary limits for handling civil claims. Additionally, it clarifies how Social Security numbers and other sensitive driver data are shared with specific government agencies and modifies the expiration date for the Supreme Court Council on Child Protection.
