HF 4513 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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.
