Minnesota Statutes State Agencies (Ch. 14-15A) § 15.992. Time limitation

Subdivision 1. Deadline for action. Unless a shorter period is provided by law, all state agencies that must act on a customer's application for a license shall take final action on it within 60 days after the customer's submission of a completed application to the responsible agency or within 60 days after the customer has been provided with a work plan under section 15.991, subdivision 2, paragraph (c), whichever is later. If action on the application is not completed within 60 days, the license is deemed to be granted. The time period specified in this subdivision does not begin to run until the customer has completed any required application in complete, correct form and has provided any additional required information or documentation.

Subd. 2. Longer time limits. An agency may provide for a longer time for the conclusion of action on an application, by itself and by another agency or agencies, if:

Subd. 3. Exclusions. This section does not apply to an application requiring one or more public hearings or an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment worksheet.

Subd. 4. Compliance. When a license is deemed granted under subdivision 1, this section does not limit the right of an agency to suspend, limit, revoke, or change a license for failure of the customer to comply with applicable laws or rules.

Subd. 5. Limit on review. A decision of an agency under subdivision 2 that a time longer than 60 days is needed to complete action on an application is not subject to judicial review.
