Statute of limitations for actions under the Minnesota Human Rights Act modified.

This bill extends the time limit for filing discrimination claims under Minnesota's Human Rights Act from one year to ten years after the alleged incident occurs. It directly affects individuals who believe they have experienced unfair discrimination in employment, housing, or public accommodations, as well as employers and organizations that may face such claims. The key provision changes the filing deadline in the relevant state statute and suspends this time limit during dispute resolution processes like mediation or arbitration, preventing the deadline from expiring while parties attempt to resolve issues informally. Additionally, the bill requires respondents to notify relevant parties if they participate in dispute resolution before a formal charge is filed, with penalties for failing to provide this notification.
