Deposit limit on consumer protection restitution account removed, and distribution limits set.
This bill modifies how money recovered in consumer protection cases is handled in Minnesota by removing a previous cap on deposits and establishing new limits on how much individual consumers can receive. It requires that 50% of recovered funds be deposited into the consumer protection restitution account without a dollar limit, while the remaining 50% goes to the state's general fund. The law also sets distribution rules so that eligible consumers can receive up to $50,000 in full compensation, or 50% of any amount exceeding that threshold. These changes affect the Minnesota Attorney General's office and consumers who have received restitution orders for consumer protection violations.
