Bill > HF851

This bill modifies the definition of "public official" in a city or county for the purposes of data practices under Minnesota Statutes. It removes the population thresholds for certain positions, such as managers, chiefs, and department heads, to be considered public officials, making their data related to complaints or charges against them public. The bill also specifies the circumstances under which data relating to a complaint or charge against a public official becomes public, such as if the complaint results in disciplinary action or the employee resigns or is terminated while the complaint is pending.
