HF 4150 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Delegation of power by parent or guardian restricted.

This bill restricts how parents and guardians in Minnesota can delegate their legal authority over a child's care, custody, or property to another person. It requires that anyone receiving delegated powers must be a U.S. citizen and have no criminal convictions for crimes against minors. The law also mandates that parents notify other parents about power delegations unless specific exceptions apply, such as limited parenting time or existing protection orders. Professional guardians face stricter rules, including a 30-day limit on delegation and a requirement to submit the delegation to the court.
