HF 2300 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Judiciary finance bill.

HF 2300 modifies court procedures in St. Louis County, Minnesota. It clarifies where court documents must be filed for cases tried in Virginia and Hibbing (requiring filings at local court administrator offices rather than the county seat), adds plain-language notice requirements for child support orders, and updates conservatorship reporting rules to include contact information. The bill directly affects courts, legal professionals, and individuals involved in family law or conservatorship cases within St. Louis County. These changes aim to streamline administrative processes and improve clarity for court documents. The bill does not appropriate new funds but adjusts existing procedural requirements.
