This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 357.021, subdivision 1a, to exempt the Office of Ombudsperson for American Indian Families from court fee requirements. The new legal language specifies that no fees are required from this office, in addition to other existing exemptions for various public authorities in specific legal actions, such as child support enforcement and civil commitment.

Furthermore, the bill updates the list of actions for which no fees are required by including amendments to the chapters referenced. Specifically, it adds chapter 257 and sections 524.5-201 to 524.5-317 to the list of exemptions, while also maintaining existing exemptions for actions related to child support, civil commitment, and public conservatorship. This change aims to alleviate financial burdens on the Office of Ombudsperson for American Indian Families, allowing it to better serve its constituents.
