No-cost contract with a non-profit organization in the state claims and municipality tort claims liability limitations inclusion provision
This bill updates Minnesota's liability limits for tort claims involving nonprofit organizations that provide goods or services to state agencies or municipalities through no-cost contracts. It establishes that when a nonprofit operates under such an arrangement, the state and municipal liability caps for claims arising from a single occurrence are set at $1,000,000, matching the existing limit for other government operations. The legislation defines a no-cost contract as an agreement where the nonprofit provides services without charging the government entity, and it applies to nonprofits involved in outdoor recreational activities funded or permitted by the state or local government. This change ensures consistent liability protections for government partners working with nonprofits without financial compensation.
