Bill > SF730

This bill clarifies the classification of certain data maintained by the Minnesota Attorney General's Office by amending an existing statute about government data practices. Specifically, the bill adds the phrase "on individuals" to the existing law, which describes various types of private data held by the Attorney General's Office. The types of private data include disciplinary proceeding records, 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. These data are classified as private, meaning they are not publicly accessible, and typically contain sensitive personal information about individuals. The bill includes a provision that makes the amendment effective the day after it is formally enacted, which is a standard legal mechanism for implementing statutory changes. The purpose appears to be to provide more explicit language about the nature of the private data and to ensure clarity in how such information is classified and protected.
