The league must keep each application for at least six months and must notify an applicant when a position, for which the applicant is qualified, becomes available.
Subd. 3. Comparable worth. The league is a political subdivision under sections 471.992 to 471.999. A cause of action against the league does not arise before August 1, 1989, for failure to comply with sections 471.992 to 471.999.
