Minn. Stat. § 62H.15: LACK OF KNOWLEDGE NOT A DEFENSE.

(a) Lack of knowledge or intent to deceive with respect to the organization or status of insurance coverage of a reportable MEWA, employee leasing firm, or collectively bargained arrangement is not a defense to a violation of sections 62H.10 to 62H.17.

(b) A filing under sections 62H.10 to 62H.17 is solely for the purpose of providing information to the commissioner. Sections 62H.10 to 62H.17 and a filing under those sections do not authorize or license a reportable MEWA, employee leasing firm, collectively bargained arrangement, or any other arrangement to engage in business in this state if otherwise prohibited by law.
