This bill establishes the position of a Common Interest Community Ombudsperson within the Minnesota Department of Commerce to facilitate dispute resolution between unit owners and associations in common interest communities. The ombudsperson will be appointed by the governor and must possess qualifications in dispute resolution, while being independent from any associations or management companies. The ombudsperson's duties include advocating for unit owners, compiling complaints, providing dispute resolution services, and maintaining a website with relevant information and resources. The ombudsperson is also required to report to legislative committees as necessary.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the classification of data maintained by the ombudsperson, designating it as private or nonpublic data, with specific conditions for its release. An appropriation from the general fund is allocated to establish and maintain the Office of the Common Interest Community Ombudsperson, with the effective date for the ombudsperson's establishment set for July 1, 2025, and the appropriation taking effect the day after final enactment.
