Bill > SF1634

This bill modifies the definition of a "public official" in cities and counties under Minnesota's public data law. It expands the definition to include certain high-level employees in all political subdivisions, not just those with populations over 7,500 (for cities) or 5,000 (for counties). This means that data related to complaints or charges against these employees will be public, unless it would jeopardize an active investigation or reveal confidential sources. The bill also clarifies the conditions under which data on such complaints or charges becomes public.
