Bill > HF389

This bill requires that meetings of the Minnesota Historical Society's executive council involving discussions about state-owned historic sites, historic places, or National Register of Historic Places sites must be open to the public under Minnesota's open meeting laws (chapter 13D). Additionally, the bill mandates that all data maintained by the Minnesota Historical Society related to these state-owned historic properties must be classified as public data, which means the information can be accessed and reviewed by the general public. The bill introduces these transparency requirements by adding a new section to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 138, specifically addressing how the Minnesota Historical Society handles information and conducts meetings about state-owned historic properties. This legislation aims to increase public access to information about historically significant state-owned sites and ensure that discussions about these properties are conducted with transparency.
