22.35 	Sec. 5. [548.68] EFFECT OF REGISTRATION.
22.36 	(a) Subject to paragraph (b), a Canadian judgment registered under section 548.67 has 
22.37 	the same effect provided in section 548.60 for a judgment a court determines to be entitled 
22.38 	to recognition.
23.1 	(b) A Canadian judgment registered under section 548.67 may not be enforced by sale 
23.2 	or other disposition of property, or by seizure of property or garnishment, until 31 days after 
23.3 	notice under section 548.69 of registration is served. The court for cause may provide for 
23.4 	a shorter or longer time. This paragraph does not preclude use of relief available under law 
23.5 	of this state other than sections 548.64 to 548.74 to prevent dissipation, disposition, or 
23.6 	removal of property.

23.7 	Sec. 6. [548.69] NOTICE OF REGISTRATION.
23.8 	(a) A person that registers a Canadian judgment under section 548.67 shall cause notice 
23.9 	of registration to be served on the person against whom the judgment has been registered.
23.10 	(b) Notice under this section must be served in the same manner that a summons and 
23.11 	complaint must be served in an action seeking recognition under section 548.59 of a 
23.12 	foreign-country money judgment.
23.13 	(c) Notice under this section must include:
23.14 	(1) the date of registration and court in which the judgment was registered;
23.15 	(2) the docket number assigned to the registration;
23.16 	(3) the name and address of:
23.17 	(i) the person registering the judgment; and
23.18 	(ii) the person's attorney, if any;
23.19 	(4) a copy of the registration, including the documents required under section 548.67, 
23.20 	paragraph (b); and
23.21 	(5) a statement that:
23.22 	(i) the person against whom the judgment has been registered, not later than 30 days 
23.23 	after the date of service of notice, may petition the court to vacate the registration; and
23.24 	(ii) the court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time.
23.25 	(d) Proof of service of notice under this section must be filed with the court administrator.

23.26 	Sec. 7. [548.70] PETITION TO VACATE REGISTRATION.
23.27 	(a) Not later than 30 days after notice under section 548.69 is served, the person against 
23.28 	whom the judgment was registered may petition the court to vacate the registration. The 
23.29 	court for cause may provide for a shorter or longer time for filing the petition.
24.1 	(b) A petition under this section may assert only:
24.2 	(1) a ground that could be asserted to deny recognition of the judgment under sections 
24.3 	548.54 to 548.63; or
24.4 	(2) a failure to comply with a requirement of sections 548.64 to 548.74 for registration 
24.5 	of the judgment.
24.6 	(c) A petition filed under this section does not itself stay enforcement of the registered 
24.7 	judgment.
24.8 	(d) If the court grants a petition under this section, the registration is vacated, and any 
24.9 	act under the registration to enforce the registered judgment is void.
24.10 	(e) If the court grants a petition under this section on a ground under paragraph (b), 
24.11 	clause (1), the court also shall render a judgment denying recognition of the Canadian 
24.12 	judgment. A judgment rendered under this subsection has the same effect as a judgment 
24.13 	denying recognition to a judgment on the same ground under sections 548.54 to 548.63.

24.14 	Sec. 8. [548.71] STAY OF ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENT PENDING 
24.15 	DETERMINATION OF PETITION.
24.16 	A person that files a petition under section 548.70, paragraph (a), to vacate registration 
24.17 	of a Canadian judgment may request the court to stay enforcement of the judgment pending 
24.18 	determination of the petition. The court shall grant the stay if the person establishes a 
24.19 	likelihood of success on the merits with regard to a ground listed in section 548.70, paragraph 
24.20 	(b), for vacating a registration. The court may require the person to provide security in an 
24.21 	amount determined by the court as a condition of granting the stay.

24.22 	Sec. 9. [548.72] RELATIONSHIP TO UNIFORM FOREIGN-COUNTRY MONEY 
24.23 	JUDGMENTS RECOGNITION ACT.
24.24 	(a) Sections 548.64 to 548.74 supplement the Uniform Foreign-Country Money 
24.25 	Judgments Recognition Act, and sections 548.54 to 548.63, other than section 548.59, apply 
24.26 	to a registration under sections 548.64 to 548.74.
24.27 	(b) A person may seek recognition of a Canadian judgment described in section 548.66 
24.28 	either:
24.29 	(1) by registration under sections 548.64 to 548.74; or
24.30 	(2) under section 548.59.
25.1 	(c) Subject to paragraph (d), a person may not seek recognition in this state of the same 
25.2 	judgment or part of a judgment described in 548.66, paragraph (b) or (c), with regard to the 
25.3 	same person under both sections 548.59 and 548.64 to 548.74.
25.4 	(d) If the court grants a petition to vacate a registration solely on a ground under section 
25.5 	548.70, paragraph (b), clause (2), the person seeking registration may:
25.6 	(1) if the defect in the registration can be cured, file a new registration under sections 
25.7 	548.64 to 548.74; or
25.8 	(2) seek recognition of the judgment under section 548.59.

25.9 	Sec. 10. [548.73] UNIFORMITY OF APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION.
25.10 	In applying and construing this uniform act, consideration must be given to the need to 
25.11 	promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact it.

25.12 	Sec. 11. [548.74] TRANSITIONAL PROVISION.
25.13 	Sections 548.64 to 548.74 apply to the registration of a Canadian judgment entered in 
25.14 	a proceeding that is commenced in Canada on or after the effective date of sections 548.64 
25.15 	to 548.74.

25.16 	Sec. 12. EFFECTIVE DATE.
 25.17 	Sections 1 to 11 are effective January 1, 2023.

25.18 	ARTICLE 3
25.19 	HUMAN RIGHTS

25.20 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.03, is amended by adding a subdivision 
25.21 	to read:
25.22 		Subd. 36a.Race. "Race" is inclusive of traits associated with race, including but not 
25.23 	limited to hair texture and hair styles such as braids, locks, and twists.

25.24 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.08, is amended by adding a subdivision to 
25.25 	read:
25.26 		Subd. 8.Inquiries into pay history prohibited. (a) "Pay history" as used in this 
25.27 	subdivision means any prior or current wage, salary, earnings, benefits, or any other 
25.28 	compensation about an applicant for employment.
26.1 	(b) An employer, employment agency, or labor organization shall not inquire into, 
26.2 	consider, or require disclosure from any source the pay history of an applicant for 
26.3 	employment for the purpose of determining wages, salary, earnings, benefits, or other 
26.4 	compensation for that applicant. There is a rebuttable presumption that use of pay history 
26.5 	received on an applicant for employment to determine the future wages, salary, earnings, 
26.6 	benefits, or other compensation for that applicant is an unfair discriminatory employment 
26.7 	practice under subdivisions 1 to 3. The general prohibition against inquiring into the pay 
26.8 	history of an applicant does not apply if the job applicant's pay history is a matter of public 
26.9 	record under federal or state law, unless the employer, employment agency, or labor 
26.10 	organization sought access to those public records with the intent of obtaining pay history 
26.11 	of the applicant for the purpose of determining wages, salary, earnings, benefits, or other 
26.12 	compensation for that applicant.
26.13 	(c) Nothing in this subdivision shall prevent an applicant for employment from voluntarily 
26.14 	and without prompting disclosing pay history for the purposes of negotiating wages, salary, 
26.15 	benefits, or other compensation. If an applicant for employment voluntarily and without 
26.16 	prompting discloses pay history to a prospective employer, employment agency, or labor 
26.17 	organization, nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit that employer, employment agency, 
26.18 	or labor organization from considering or acting on that voluntarily disclosed salary history 
26.19 	information to support a wage or salary higher than initially offered by the employer, 
26.20 	employment agency, or labor organization.
26.21 	(d) Nothing in this subdivision limits, prohibits, or prevents a person from bringing a 
26.22 	charge, grievance, or any other cause of action alleging wage discrimination because of 
26.23 	race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, marital status, status with 
26.24 	regard to public assistance, familial status, membership or activity in a local commission, 
26.25 	disability, sexual orientation, or age, as otherwise provided in this chapter.
26.26 	(e) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent an employer from:
26.27 	(1) providing information about the wages, benefits, compensation, or salary offered in 
26.28 	relation to a position; or
26.29 	(2) inquiring about or otherwise engaging in discussions with an applicant about the 
26.30 	applicant's expectations or requests with respect to wages, salary, benefits, or other 
26.31 	compensation.

26.32 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective January 1, 2023. For employment covered 
26.33 	by collective bargaining agreements, this section is not effective until the date of 
27.1 	implementation of the applicable collective bargaining agreement that is after January 1, 
27.2 	2023.

27.3 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.11, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
27.4 		Subd. 2.General prohibitions. This subdivision lists general prohibitions against 
27.5 	discrimination on the basis of disability. For purposes of this subdivision, "individual" or 
27.6 	"class of individuals" refers to the clients or customers of the covered public accommodation 
27.7 	that enter into the contractual, licensing, or other arrangement.
27.8 	(1) It is discriminatory to:
27.9 	(i) subject an individual or class of individuals on the basis of a disability of that 
27.10 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, to a 
27.11 	denial of the opportunity of the individual or class to participate in or benefit from the goods, 
27.12 	services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of an entity;
27.13 	(ii) afford an individual or class of individuals on the basis of the disability of that 
27.14 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, with 
27.15 	the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the goods, services, facilities, privileges, 
27.16 	advantages, or accommodations that are not equal to those afforded to other individuals; 
27.17 	and
27.18 	(iii) provide an individual or class of individuals, on the basis of a disability of that 
27.19 	individual or class, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, with 
27.20 	goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations that are different or 
27.21 	separate from those provided to other individuals, unless the action is necessary to provide 
27.22 	the individual or class of individuals with goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, 
27.23 	or accommodations, or other opportunities that are as effective as those provided to others.; 
27.24 	and
27.25 	(iv) not provide a deaf or hard-of-hearing individual or class of deaf or hard-of-hearing 
27.26 	individuals with closed-captioned television when television services are provided to other 
27.27 	individuals.
27.28 	(2) Goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations must be 
27.29 	afforded to an individual with a disability in the most integrated setting appropriate to the 
27.30 	needs of the individual.
27.31 	(3) Notwithstanding the existence of separate or different programs or activities provided 
27.32 	in accordance with sections 363A.08 to 363A.19, and 363A.28, subdivision 10, the individual 
28.1 	with a disability may not be denied the opportunity to participate in the programs or activities 
28.2 	that are not separate or different.
28.3 	(4) An individual or entity may not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, 
28.4 	use standards or criteria and methods of administration:
28.5 	(i) that have the effect of discriminating on the basis of disability; or
28.6 	(ii) that perpetuate the discrimination of others who are subject to common administrative 
28.7 	control.

28.8 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.21, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
28.9 		Subdivision 1.Housing. The provisions of section 363A.09 shall not apply to:
28.10 	(1) rooms in a temporary or permanent residence home run by a nonprofit organization, 
28.11 	if the discrimination is by sex; or
28.12 	(2) the rental by a resident owner or occupier of a one-family accommodation of a room 
28.13 	or rooms in the accommodation to another person or persons if the discrimination is by sex, 
28.14 	marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, or disability. Except 
28.15 	as provided elsewhere in this chapter or other state or federal law, no person or group of 
28.16 	persons selling, renting, or leasing property is required to modify the property in any way, 
28.17 	or exercise a higher degree of care for a person having a disability than for a person who 
28.18 	does not have a disability; nor shall this chapter be construed to relieve any person or persons 
28.19 	of any obligations generally imposed on all persons regardless of any disability in a written 
28.20 	lease, rental agreement, or contract of purchase or sale, or to forbid distinctions based on 
28.21 	the inability to fulfill the terms and conditions, including financial obligations of the lease, 
28.22 	agreement, or contract; or.
28.23 	(3) the rental by a resident owner of a unit in a dwelling containing not more than two 
28.24 	units, if the discrimination is on the basis of sexual orientation.

28.25 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2021 Supplement, section 363A.50, is amended to read:

29.15 	(2) any entity responsible for matching anatomical gift donors to potential recipients.
29.16 	(e) "Disability" has the meaning given in section 363A.03, subdivision 12.
29.17 	(f) "Organ transplant" means the transplantation or infusion of a part of a human body 
29.18 	into the body of another for the purpose of treating or curing a medical condition.
29.19 	(g) "Qualified individual" means an individual who, with or without available support 
29.20 	networks, the provision of auxiliary aids and services, or reasonable modifications to policies 
29.21 	or practices, meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of an anatomical 
29.22 	gift.
29.23 	(h) "Reasonable modifications" include, but are not limited to:
29.24 	(1) communication with individuals responsible for supporting an individual with 
29.25 	postsurgical and post-transplantation care, including medication; and
29.26 	(2) consideration of support networks available to the individual, including family, 
29.27 	friends, and home and community-based services, including home and community-based 
29.28 	services funded through Medicaid, Medicare, another health plan in which the individual 
29.29 	is enrolled, or any program or source of funding available to the individual, in determining

30.1 	(i) "Supported decision making" has the meaning given in section 524.5-102, subdivision 
30.2 	16a.

30.4 	a qualified individual's race, ethnicity, mental disability, or physical disability:
30.5 	(1) deem an individual ineligible to receive an anatomical gift or organ transplant;

30.18 	an individualized evaluation of the potential recipient to be medically significant to the 
30.19 	provision of the anatomical gift or organ transplant. The provisions of this section may not 
30.20 	be deemed to require referrals or recommendations for, or the performance of, organ 
30.21 	transplants that are not medically appropriate given the individual's overall health condition.
30.22 	(c) If an individual has the necessary support system to assist the individual in complying 
30.23 	with post-transplant medical requirements, an individual's inability to independently comply

30.25 	paragraph (b).
30.26 	(d) A covered entity must make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, or 
30.27 	procedures, when such modifications are necessary to make services such as 
30.28 	transplantation-related counseling, information, coverage, or treatment available to qualified 
30.29 	individuals with disabilities, unless the entity can demonstrate that making such modifications 
30.30 	would fundamentally alter the nature of such services.
30.31 	(e) A covered entity must take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no qualified 
30.32 	individual with a disability is denied services such as transplantation-related counseling, 
30.33 	information, coverage, or treatment because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, 
31.1 	unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature 
31.2 	of the services being offered or result in an undue burden. A covered entity is not required 
31.3 	to provide supported decision-making services.
31.4 	(f) A covered entity must otherwise comply with the requirements of Titles II and III of 
31.5 	the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act 
31.6 	Amendments Act of 2008, and the Minnesota Human Rights Act.

32.27 	to read:
32.28 		Subd. 8.Administrative forfeiture procedure. (a) A motor vehicle used to commit a 
32.29 	designated offense or used in conduct resulting in a designated license revocation is subject 
32.30 	to administrative forfeiture under this subdivision.
33.1 	(b) Within 60 days from when a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within 
33.2 	a reasonable time after seizure, the appropriate agency shall serve the driver or operator of 
33.3 	the vehicle with a notice of the seizure and intent to forfeit the vehicle. Additionally, when 
33.4 	a motor vehicle is seized under subdivision 2, or within a reasonable time after that, all 
33.5 	persons known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest in the vehicle must 
33.6 	be notified of the seizure and the intent to forfeit the vehicle. For those vehicles required to 
33.7 	be registered under chapter 168, the notification to a person known to have a security interest 
33.8 	in the vehicle is required only if the vehicle is registered under chapter 168 and the interest 
33.9 	is listed on the vehicle's title. Upon motion by the appropriate agency or prosecuting 
33.10 	authority, a court may extend the time period for sending notice for a period not to exceed 
33.11 	90 days for good cause shown. Notice mailed by certified mail to the address shown in 
33.12 	Department of Public Safety records is sufficient notice to the registered owner of the 
33.13 	vehicle. For motor vehicles not required to be registered under chapter 168, notice mailed 
33.14 	by certified mail to the address shown in the applicable filing or registration for the vehicle 
33.15 	is sufficient notice to a person known to have an ownership, possessory, or security interest 
33.16 	in the vehicle. Otherwise, notice may be given in the manner provided by law for service 
33.17 	of a summons in a civil action.
33.18 	(c) The notice must be in writing and contain:
33.19 	(1) a description of the vehicle seized;
33.20 	(2) the date of seizure; and
33.21 	(3) notice of the right to obtain judicial review of the forfeiture and of the procedure for 
33.22 	obtaining that judicial review, printed in English. This requirement does not preclude the 
33.23 	appropriate agency from printing the notice in other languages in addition to English.
33.24 	Substantially the following language must appear conspicuously in the notice:
33.25 	"WARNING: If you were the person arrested when the property was seized, you will 
33.26 	automatically lose the above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do 
33.27 	not file a lawsuit and serve the prosecuting authority within 60 days. You may file your 
33.28 	lawsuit in conciliation court if the property is worth $15,000 or less; otherwise, you must 
33.29 	file in district court. You do not have to pay a filing fee for your lawsuit.
33.30 	WARNING: If you have an ownership interest in the above-described property and were 
33.31 	not the person arrested when the property was seized, you will automatically lose the 
33.32 	above-described property and the right to be heard in court if you do not notify the 
33.33 	prosecuting authority of your interest in writing within 60 days."
34.1 	(d) If notice is not sent in accordance with paragraph (b), and no time extension is granted 
34.2 	or the extension period has expired, the appropriate agency shall return the vehicle to the 
34.3 	owner. An agency's return of property due to lack of proper notice does not restrict the 
34.4 	agency's authority to commence a forfeiture proceeding at a later time.
34.5 	(e) Within 60 days following service of a notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
34.6 	subdivision, a claimant may file a demand for a judicial determination of the forfeiture. The 
34.7 	demand must be in the form of a civil complaint and must be filed with the court 
34.8 	administrator in the county in which the seizure occurred, together with proof of service of 
34.9 	a copy of the complaint on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the forfeiture. 
34.10 	The claimant may serve the complaint by certified mail or any means permitted by court 
34.11 	rules. If the value of the seized property is $15,000 or less, the claimant may file an action 
34.12 	in conciliation court for recovery of the seized vehicle. A copy of the conciliation court 
34.13 	statement of claim must may be served personally or by mail as permitted by the Rules of 
34.14 	Conciliation Court Procedure on the prosecuting authority having jurisdiction over the 
34.15 	forfeiture within 60 days following service of the notice of seizure and forfeiture under this 
34.16 	subdivision. The claimant does not have to pay the court filing fee.
34.17 	No responsive pleading is required of the prosecuting authority and no court fees may 
34.18 	be charged for the prosecuting authority's appearance in the matter. The prosecuting authority 
34.19 	may appear for the appropriate agency. Pleadings, filings, and methods of service are 
34.20 	governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure and, where applicable, by the Rules of Conciliation 
34.21 	Court Procedure.
34.22 	(f) The complaint must be captioned in the name of the claimant as plaintiff and the 
34.23 	seized vehicle as defendant, and must state with specificity the grounds on which the claimant 
34.24 	alleges the vehicle was improperly seized, the claimant's interest in the vehicle seized, and 
34.25 	any affirmative defenses the claimant may have. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, 
34.26 	an action for the return of a vehicle seized under this section may not be maintained by or 
34.27 	on behalf of any person who has been served with a notice of seizure and forfeiture unless 
34.28 	the person has complied with this subdivision.
34.29 	(g) If the claimant makes a timely demand for a judicial determination under this 
34.30 	subdivision, the forfeiture proceedings must be conducted as provided under subdivision 
34.31 	9.

34.32 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

35.1 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 259.11, is amended to read:
35.2 	259.11 ORDER; FILING COPIES.
35.3 	(a) Upon meeting the requirements of section 259.10, the court shall grant the application 
35.4 	unless: (1) it finds that there is an intent to defraud or mislead; (2) section 259.13 prohibits 
35.5 	granting the name change; or (3) in the case of the change of a minor child's name, the court 
35.6 	finds that such name change is not in the best interests of the child. The court shall set forth 
35.7 	in the order the name and age of the applicant's spouse and each child of the applicant, if 
35.8 	any, and shall state a description of the lands, if any, in which the applicant and the spouse 
35.9 	and children, if any, claim to have an interest. The court administrator shall file such order, 
35.10 	and record the same in the judgment book. If lands be described therein, a certified copy of 
35.11 	the order shall be filed for record, by the applicant, with the county recorder of each county 
35.12 	wherein any of the same are situated. Before doing so the court administrator shall present 
35.13 	the same to the county auditor who shall enter the change of name in the auditor's official 
35.14 	records and note upon the instrument, over an official signature, the words "change of name 
35.15 	recorded." Any such order shall not be filed, nor any certified copy thereof be issued, until 
35.16 	the applicant shall have paid to the county recorder and court administrator the fee required 
35.17 	by law. No application shall be denied on the basis of the marital status of the applicant.
35.18 	(b) When a person applies for a name change, the court shall determine whether the 
35.19 	person has a criminal history in this or any other state. The court may conduct a search of 
35.20 	national records through the Federal Bureau of Investigation by submitting a set of 
35.21 	fingerprints and the appropriate fee to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. If it is 
35.22 	determined that the person has a criminal history in this or any other state, the court shall, 
35.23 	within ten days after the name change application is granted, report the name change to the 
35.24 	Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The person whose name is changed shall also report the 
35.25 	change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension within ten days. The court granting the 
35.26 	name change application must explain this reporting duty in its order. Any person required 
35.27 	to report the person's name change to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who fails to 
35.28 	report the name change as required under this paragraph is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
35.29 	(c) Paragraph (b) does not apply to either:
35.30 	(1) a request for a name change as part of an application for a marriage license under 
35.31 	section 517.08; or
35.32 	(2) a request for a name change in conjunction with a marriage dissolution under section 
35.33 	518.27; or
35.34 	(3) a request for a name change filed under section 259.14.

36.1 	Sec. 5. [259.14] POSTDISSOLUTION NAME CHANGE.
36.2 	(a) A person who has resided in this state for at least six months and obtained the person's 
36.3 	most recent final marriage dissolution from a district court in this state may apply to the 
36.4 	district court in the county where the person resides to change the person's name to the legal 
36.5 	name on the person's birth certificate. A person applying for a name change must submit a 
36.6 	certified copy of the certificate of dissolution issued pursuant to section 518.148 and a 
36.7 	certified copy of the person's birth certificate.
36.8 	(b) A court shall not require a person applying for a name change to pay filing fees for 
36.9 	an application submitted pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding section 259.10, a court 
36.10 	shall not require the person applying for a name change to provide proof of the person's 
36.11 	identity by two witnesses unless the proof of identity is necessary to determine whether the 
36.12 	person has an intent to defraud or mislead the court.
36.13 	(c) Upon meeting the requirements of this section, the court shall grant the application 
36.14 	for a name change unless the court finds that (1) the person has an intent to defraud or 
36.15 	mislead the court; or (2) section 259.13 prohibits granting the name change. The court shall 
36.16 	notify the person applying for a name change that using a different surname without 
36.17 	complying with section 259.13, if applicable, is a gross misdemeanor.
