Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 363A.28, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

(a) Consistent with paragraph (h), the commissioner shall
promptly inquire into the truth of the allegations of the charge. The commissioner shall

frivolous or without merit and shall dismiss those charges.

(b) The commissioner shall give priority to investigating and processing those charges,
in the order below, which the commissioner determines have the following characteristics:

(1) there is evidence of irreparable harm if immediate action is not taken;

(2) there is evidence that the respondent has intentionally engaged in a reprisal;

(3) a significant number of recent charges have been filed against the respondent;

(4) the respondent is a government entity;

(5) there is potential for broadly promoting the policies of this chapter; or

(6) the charge is supported by substantial and credible documentation, witnesses, or
other evidence.

The commissioner shall inform charging parties of these priorities and shall tell each
party if their charge is a priority case or not.

On other charges the commissioner shall make a determination within 12 months after
the charge was filed as to whether or not there is probable cause to credit the allegation of
unfair discriminatory practices.

(c) If the commissioner determines after investigation that no probable cause exists to
credit the allegations of the unfair discriminatory practice, the commissioner shall, within
ten days of the determination, serve upon the charging party and respondent written notice
of the determination. Within deleted text begin tendeleted text end new text begin 30new text end days after receipt of notice, the charging party may
request in writing, on forms prepared by the department, that the commissioner reconsider

after receipt of the request for reconsideration, and shall within ten days notify in writing

requiring the respondent to answer the allegations of the complaint at a hearing before an
administrative law judge at a time and place specified in the notice, not less than ten days
after service of said complaint. A copy of the notice shall be furnished to the charging party
and the attorney general.

(e) If, at any time after the filing of a charge, the commissioner has reason to believe
that a respondent has engaged in any unfair discriminatory practice, the commissioner may
file a petition in the district court in a county in which the subject of the complaint occurs,
or in a county in which a respondent resides or transacts business, seeking appropriate
temporary relief against the respondent, pending final determination of proceedings under
this chapter, including an order or decree restraining the respondent from doing or procuring
an act tending to render ineffectual an order the commissioner may enter with respect to
the complaint. The court shall have power to grant temporary relief or a restraining order
as it deems just and proper, but no relief or order extending beyond ten days shall be granted
except by consent of the respondent or after hearing upon notice to the respondent and a
finding by the court that there is reasonable cause to believe that the respondent has engaged
in a discriminatory practice. Except as modified by subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06,
subdivision 4, the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply to an application, and
the district court shall have authority to grant or deny the relief sought on conditions as it
deems just and equitable. All hearings under subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06,
subdivision 4, shall be given precedence as nearly as practicable over all other pending civil
actions.

(f) If a lessor, after engaging in a discriminatory practice defined in section 363A.09,
subdivision 1, clause (1), leases or rents a dwelling unit to a person who has no knowledge
of the practice or of the existence of a charge with respect to the practice, the lessor shall
be liable for actual damages sustained by a person by reason of a final order as provided in
subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, subdivision 4, requiring the person to be evicted
from the dwelling unit.

(g) In any complaint issued under subdivisions 1 to 9 and section 363A.06, subdivision
4, the commissioner may seek relief for a class of individuals affected by an unfair
discriminatory practice occurring on or after a date one year prior to the filing of the charge
from which the complaint originates.

(h) The commissioner may adopt policies to determine which charges are processed and
the order in which charges are processed based on their particular social or legal significance,
administrative convenience, difficulty of resolution, or other standard consistent with the
provisions of this chapter.

(i) The chief administrative law judge shall adopt policies to provide sanctions for
intentional and frivolous delay caused by any charging party or respondent in an investigation,
hearing, or any other aspect of proceedings before the department under this chapter.
