Minnesota Statutes Civil Procedure (Ch. 540-552) § 549.18. Security for costs

When an action is begun in the district court by a plaintiff who is committed for a crime, or is a nonresident or a foreign corporation, or when such action is brought into the district court on appeal by defendant, such plaintiff shall file a bond to the court administrator, before service of summons, or in case of appeal within five days after perfecting the same, in the sum of at least $75, conditioned for the payment of all costs and disbursements that may be adjudged against the plaintiff. If, after the commencement of the action or the taking of an appeal, all parties plaintiff therein become nonresidents, or the sureties on the bond remove from the state or become insolvent, the court, on motion, may require such bond, or an additional bond, to be filed, conditioned as aforesaid. This section shall not apply to any action brought for the recovery of wages or claims for personal services.
