HF 414 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Filing fee for data practices complaints reduced.

HF 414 reduces the filing fee for complaints about government data practices in Minnesota from $1,000 to $200. This bill directly affects individuals or organizations filing formal complaints alleging violations of Minnesota's data practices laws against government entities. The key change is the reduced fee requirement for submitting a written complaint under Minnesota Statutes § 13.085, which must detail factual claims of legal violations. The bill does not alter complaint procedures, deadlines, or other requirements beyond the fee amount. This change aims to lower barriers for those seeking to address potential government data misuse.
