Minn. R. 8420.0910
At the request of a local government unit against which a compensation action is brought based at least in part on the local government unit's application of Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.222, 103G.2241, 103G.2242, 103G.237, or 103G.2372, or rules adopted by the board to implement these sections, the state, through the attorney general, must intervene in the action on behalf of the local government unit and is thereafter considered a defendant in the action. A local government unit making a request under this subpart must provide the attorney general with a copy of the complaint as soon as possible after being served. If requested by the attorney general, the court must grant additional time to file an answer equal to the time between service of the complaint on the local government unit and receipt of the complaint by the attorney general.
The state is liable for costs, damages, fees, and compensation awarded in the action based on the local government unit's adoption or implementation of standards that are required by state law, as determined by the court. The local government unit is liable for costs, damages, fees, and compensation awarded in the action based on local standards that are more restrictive than state law and rules.
For purposes of this part, "compensation action" means an action in which the plaintiff seeks compensation for taking private property under the state or federal constitution.
