Subp. 2. Filing with state.

A document is filed upon its receipt by the division by 4:30 p.m. on an open state business day. Documents received after 4:30 p.m. are considered filed on the next open state business day. A party is authorized to file a document with the division by facsimile if the document is 15 pages or less in length.

When the quality or authenticity of a document filed by facsimile or electronic transmission is not at issue, the party shall not also file the original document.
