Commerce Fraud Bureau and automobile theft prevention program commissioner of commerce oversee designation

This bill designates the commissioner of commerce as the sole overseer of two existing programs: the Commerce Fraud Bureau (focused on insurance and financial crimes) and the automobile theft prevention program. It requires the Commerce Fraud Bureau to dedicate at least 70% of its efforts to investigating insurance fraud as defined in state law. The commissioner will now have full authority over both programs' operations, personnel, and oversight, replacing prior arrangements. These changes clarify the commissioner's direct responsibility for these initiatives under Minnesota Statutes.
