Bill > HF1569

This bill amends the Minnesota Statutes to modify the definition of "public official" in a city or county. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) Expanding the definition of "public official" to include certain positions in cities with a population over 7,500 and counties with a population over 5,000, such as managers, chiefs, department heads, and equivalent positions. 2) Specifying that data relating to complaints or charges against these newly defined "public officials" are public only if the complaint or charge results in disciplinary action or the employee resigns/is terminated while the complaint is pending. This change aims to increase transparency around complaints and disciplinary actions involving certain local government officials.
