§ 15.411 PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS; NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY CLAUSES.
Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Definition. As used in this section, the term "public works contract" means a contract of the state, or a county, city, town, school district, special district, or any other political subdivision of the state, for the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of any building, structure, highway, bridge, viaduct, pipeline, railway, public works, or any other works dealing with construction. The term includes, but is not limited to, moving, demolition, or excavation performed in conjunction with the work specified in this subdivision.

§ Subd. 2. Unenforceability. Any clause in a public works contract that waives, releases, or extinguishes the rights of a contractor to seek recovery for costs or damages, or seek an equitable adjustment, for delays, disruption, or acceleration in performing the contract is void and unenforceable if the delay, disruption, or acceleration is caused by acts of the contracting public entity or persons acting on behalf of the public entity for which the public entity is legally responsible.

§ Subd. 3. Severability. When a contract contains a provision that is void and unenforceable under subdivision 2, that provision must be severed from the other provisions of the contract to the extent that it is void and unenforceable. The fact that the provision is void and unenforceable does not affect the other provisions of the contract.

§ Subd. 4. Scope and effect. Subdivision 2 does not make void and unenforceable any contract provision of a public works contract that: (1) requires notice of any delay, disruption, or acceleration by the party affected thereby; (2) provides for reasonable liquidated damages; or (3) provides for arbitration or any other procedure designed to settle contract disputes.

§ 171.35 LICENSE FOR INSTRUCTOR REQUIRED.
Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Licensure required. No person shall act as an instructor after January 1, 1968, unless such person has applied for and obtained a license from the commissioner. The commissioner shall issue or adopt rules governing the requirements for an instructor's license, which may include requirements concerning moral character, physical condition, knowledge of the courses of instruction and of motor vehicle laws and safety principles and practices, previous personnel and employment records, teaching experience and qualifications, and such other matters as the commissioner may prescribe, but the applicant shall not be required to have qualified for a teacher's certificate as required in the public school system.

§ Subd. 2. Records check for instructor applicant. (a) Before issuing a driving instructor license, the commissioner shall conduct a criminal history and driver's license records check of the applicant. The commissioner may also conduct the check at any time while a person is so licensed. The check must consist of a criminal history check of the state criminal records repository, a national criminal history check, and a check of the driver's license records system. The commissioner shall accept the applicant's signed informed consent form for the national criminal history check request, fingerprints, and required fees. The commissioner shall submit the applicant's signed informed consent form, fingerprints, and fees to the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, who is authorized to exchange the fingerprints with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain the applicant's national criminal history record information. The superintendent shall also retrieve Minnesota criminal history data and provide the results of both checks to the commissioner. Using the criminal history data provided by the superintendent, the commissioner shall determine whether the applicant is disqualified from licensure. The applicant's failure to cooperate with the commissioner in conducting the records check is reasonable cause to deny an application or suspend a driving instructor license. (b) The commissioner may issue to an otherwise qualified applicant a temporary driving instructor license, effective for no more than 180 days, upon presentation of (1) an affidavit by the applicant that the applicant has not been convicted of a gross misdemeanor or felony, and (2) a criminal history check from each state of residence. The criminal history check may be conducted and prepared by any public or private source acceptable to the commissioner. The commissioner may reissue the temporary endorsement if the national criminal records repository check is timely submitted but not completed within the 180-day period.

Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the state of Minnesota to provide a coordinated approach to the supervision, protection, and habilitation of its adult citizens with a developmental disability. In furtherance of this policy, sections 252A.01 to 252A.21 are enacted to authorize the commissioner of human services to: (1) supervise those adult citizens with a developmental disability who are unable to fully provide for their own needs and for whom no qualified person is willing and able to seek guardianship under sections 524.5-101 to 524.5-502 ; and (2) protect adults with a developmental disability from violation of their human and civil rights by ensuring that they receive the full range of needed social, financial, residential, and habilitative services to which they are lawfully entitled. (b) Public guardianship is the most restrictive form of guardianship and should be imposed only when less restrictive alternatives have been attempted and determined to be insufficient to meet the person's needs. Less restrictive alternatives include but are not limited to supported decision making, community or residential services, or appointment of a health care agent.

Until then, the issuer, nominated person, and the applicant do not derive under this section present or prospective rights forming the basis of a claim, defense, or excuse.

§ 297A.81 UNCOLLECTIBLE DEBTS; OFFSET AGAINST OTHER TAXES.
Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. General. The taxpayer may offset against the taxes payable for any reporting period the amount of taxes imposed by this chapter previously paid as a result of any transaction the consideration for which became a debt owed to the taxpayer that became uncollectible during the reporting period, but only in proportion to the portion of the debt that became uncollectible. Section 289A.40, subdivision 2 , applies to an offset under this section.

§ Subd. 2. Manner of allowing deduction for uncollectible debt. (a) Uncollectible debt is allowed as a deduction in the manner provided in this subdivision. (b) If the uncollectible debt arose with respect to a sale required to be included in gross receipts, subject to a tax imposed under chapter 297A, the entire amount of the debt remaining uncollected is allowed as a deduction. (c) If the uncollectible debt arose with respect to a sale partly subject to the tax imposed under chapter 297A and partly exempt, the amount of the uncollectible debt allowed as a deduction is the amount derived by multiplying the uncollectible debt by the percentage that the taxable sale bears to the total sales. (d) If the uncollectible debt arose with respect to two or more sales made at successive intervals, payments made before the date the debt became uncollectible must be applied first to the earliest sale upon which there is an unpaid balance, and to following sales in successive order. (e) If the books and records of the taxpayer claiming the bad debt allowance support an allocation of the bad debts among the member states of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement, such an allocation shall be allowed.

§ Subd. 3. Certified service provider. A certified service provider, as defined in section 297A.995, subdivision 2 , on behalf of a taxpayer who is its client, may offset against taxes as provided by this section.
