SF 4825 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Delegation of power restriction by parent or guardian

This bill updates Minnesota's laws on how parents and guardians can temporarily delegate their authority over a child's care, custody, or property to another person. It sets different time limits for delegation depending on whether the delegator is a parent or a professional guardian, with parents allowed up to one year and professional guardians limited to 30 days. The law also requires parents to notify other parents about delegations unless there are existing restrictions on parenting time or protective orders in place. Additionally, the bill adds new requirements that anyone receiving delegated powers must be a U.S. citizen and must not have been charged with or convicted of certain crimes against minors.
