Minn. Stat. § 363A § 363A.34
NOTICE OF APPEAL TO COMMISSIONER.
Operative Text
In any case that is appealed to the supreme court or the court of appeals in which an issue is raised under this chapter, the party raising the issue shall serve a copy of the notice of appeal on the commissioner. At the time of filing a notice of appeal or other papers, documents, or briefs in the case, a party shall file proof of service of the papers, documents, or briefs upon the commissioner.
Under Minn. Stat. § 363A.34, when a case involving a claim under Minnesota's Human Rights Act is appealed to the state supreme court or court of appeals, the party who raised the human-rights issue must serve a copy of the notice of appeal on the Commissioner of Human Rights. Additionally, whenever any party files appeal-related papers, documents, or briefs with the court, that party must also file proof showing that those materials were served on the Commissioner. This procedural requirement ensures the Commissioner stays informed of litigation that may affect the administration of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who are parties to an appeal involving a fair-housing or human-rights claim under Minn. Stat. § 363A.34 are generally expected to serve the Commissioner of Human Rights with a copy of the notice of appeal and to file proof of that service with the court. Compliant operators keep careful records of all service documentation submitted alongside briefs and other filings throughout the appellate process. Maintaining organized records of these procedural steps helps demonstrate adherence to the notice requirements of § 363A.34.

Tenants who raise a claim under Minnesota's Human Rights Act and pursue an appeal are entitled to know that Minn.
