Subd. 4. [LOT NUMBER.] The property of each depositor must be specifically designated under a lot number, which must appear on the receipt for the purpose of identification.

Subd. 5. [CORRECTNESS OF RECEIPT.] Unless notice is given by the depositor to the warehouse operator in writing within 30 days after the date of mailing or delivery to the depositor of the warehouse receipt stating that there are errors or omissions in the list of goods and specifying them, the operator is entitled to assume that the list of goods on the warehouse receipt is a complete and correct list of goods tendered to the operator for storage under the terms and conditions of the contract and that the depositor has accepted all terms and conditions of the contract.

Subd. 6. [STORING ADDITIONAL GOODS.] If the depositor, subsequent to the original storing, places other goods with the warehouse operator for storage, the additional goods may come in under the same terms and conditions as if they were part of the original lot.

Subd. 7. [NOTICES TO DEPOSITOR.] Notices by the warehouse operator to the depositor pertaining to the goods, wares, or merchandise must be sent to the depositor at the address given at the time of depositing the goods, wares, or merchandise with the operator, unless written notice of a change of address is received by the operator from the depositor. Notices mailed by the operator to the last address given by the depositor constitute effective notice for all purposes.

Subd. 8. [LIABILITY LIMITATIONS; OTHER THAN HOUSEHOLD GOODS.] Unless otherwise specified by the depositor in writing, it is agreed and is prima facie proof that no piece, package, or complete article with its contents enumerated in the list of goods in the warehouse receipt of contract exceeds the sum of $50 in value. If the depositor declares in writing a higher valuation, the warehouse operator may charge a higher rate for storing the pieces, packages, or complete articles. Each operator must, upon the day of storage, clearly inform the depositor, in writing, that the depositor may declare a higher valuation.

Subd. 9. [LIABILITY LIMITATIONS; HOUSEHOLD GOODS.] (a) From and after the date of storage, the warehouse operator storing household goods must, on behalf of the depositor, cause the stored goods of the depositor to be insured at least in the amount of $1.25 per pound per article against loss from any peril covered by standard fire and extended coverage policies. The depositor must pay to the operator the cost of the insurance in addition to other warehousing charges. Provided, however, that the depositor may declare in writing that the value of the stored goods does not exceed 60 cents per pound per article, in which case the depositor is limited to that amount in the recovery of any damages against the warehouse operator.

(b) Warehouse operators whose charges for storage are not based upon actual weight, and who may not have available an actual weight figure, may use a weight figure obtained by application of the constructive weight rule in effect in the operator's tariff.

Journal of the House - 12th Day - Thursday, February 3, 2005 - Top of Page 198

All tariffs of rates and charges must contain terms and conditions under which the rates and charges are assessed.

Subd. 2. [RATE-MAKING PROCEDURE.] In order to ensure nondiscriminatory rates and charges for all depositors of household goods, the commissioner shall establish a collective rate-making procedure which will ensure the publication and maintenance of just and reasonable rates and charges under uniform, reasonably related rate structures. These procedures must provide for the joint consideration, initiation, and establishment of rates and charges and ensure that the respective revenues and expenses of household goods warehouse operators are ascertained. Any participating household goods warehouse operator party to a collectively mandated rate or charge has the right to petition the commissioner for the establishment of a rate or charge which deviates from the collectively set rate. Upon receiving the commissioner's approval, that household goods warehouse operator may proceed to establish the requested rate or charge. All household goods warehouse operators subject to rate regulation under this chapter must comply with the commissioner's rate-making procedures. No household goods warehouse operator shall undertake to perform any service or store any household goods until a schedule of rates has been filed and published in accordance with this chapter. In case of emergency, however, a service or storage not specifically covered by the schedules filed, may be performed or furnished at a reasonable rate, which must then be promptly filed, and which is subject to review in accordance with this chapter.

Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 231.18, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
