Office of Administrative Hearings renaming to the Court of Administrative Hearings provision and remand opportunity provision
This bill renames Minnesota's "Office of Administrative Hearings" to "Court of Administrative Hearings" and adds a new procedural step allowing state agencies to request a case be sent back ("remanded") for reconsideration. Specifically, it creates a 45-day window after a hearing for agencies to formally ask for a remand, with the option for the chief judge to accept late requests if "good cause" is shown. The bill primarily changes administrative procedures for handling contested cases before state agencies, not the substantive outcomes of those cases. It affects how administrative law judges and state agencies process cases, but does not alter the rights of individuals or businesses involved in those cases.
