Bill > HF20

This bill clarifies the classification of certain data maintained by the Office of the Attorney General by amending Minnesota Statutes section 13.65, subdivision 1. Specifically, the bill adds the phrase "on individuals" to the existing law, which defines categories of private data. These categories include disciplinary proceeding records (except for public hearings), internal communications about administrative matters, consumer complaint data, investigative data related to potential litigation, and specific details collected by the Consumer Division's home protection hot line. The added language "on individuals" helps to more precisely define the scope of private data, ensuring that personal information remains protected. The bill includes an effective date provision stating that the amendment takes effect the day after final enactment, which means the change will become law immediately after it is signed by the appropriate government official. The purpose of this bill appears to be maintaining clarity and specificity in how sensitive personal information is classified and protected within the Attorney General's office.
