Stay Safe MN Violations
While Minnesota expects that businesses and individuals will voluntarily comply with the requirements of the governor’s executive orders to keep their fellow Minnesotans safe, there are consequences for violation of these requirements. These consequences can include petty misdemeanor citations and fines for people, and criminal, civil and regulatory sanctions for businesses and their owners and managers. You may contact Carver County Sheriff’s Office or the applicable state agency to report violations by individuals or businesses.
