Deposit limit on the consumer protection restitution account removed, and distribution limits set.
This bill removes the previous cap on how much money can be deposited into Minnesota's consumer protection restitution account, allowing the Attorney General to deposit 50% of all recovered funds from consumer enforcement actions. It also establishes new rules for distributing these funds, requiring that payments be made first to consumers with the oldest unpaid claims. Additionally, the bill sets a limit on individual payouts, capping the full amount at $50,000 or 50% of any amount exceeding that threshold. These changes directly affect the state's process for handling recovered funds and the compensation received by eligible consumers in Minnesota.
