MN HF4129

Extends the statute of limitations for filing unfair discriminatory practice claims under the Minnesota Human Rights Act from one year to ten years after the occurrence of the practice

Claims may be filed as a civil action, with a local commission, or with the commissioner within the new ten-year window

Suspends the ten-year limitation period while parties are voluntarily engaged in dispute resolution processes, including arbitration, conciliation, mediation, grievance procedures, or school board sexual harassment/violence policy proceedings

Respondents who participate in dispute resolution before a charge is filed must notify the department and charging party of the process dates; failure to do so bars them from raising a statute of limitations defense unless ten years plus the suspension period has passed
