MN HF3041

Removes the requirement for "debt qualification plans" and replaces them with general "agreements" between the commissioner of revenue and referring agencies (courts, local governments, state colleges, universities).

Transfers debt collection authority solely to the commissioner of revenue, eliminating the commissioner of management and budget from collection authority and contracting responsibilities.

Requires referring agencies to notify debtors at least 20 days before debt referral and inform them of collection costs and their right to cancellation of those costs.

Allows cancellation of collection costs when debtors have household income below twice the federal poverty line, establish reasonable cause for non-payment, have a good faith dispute, or when costs were already added by the referring agency.

Removes the Minnesota collection enterprise from the definition of "claimant agency" in the tax levy statute, eliminating its authority to collect costs imposed under debt collection law.
