Bill > HF1578

This bill amends Minnesota law to expand protections for personal information of county attorneys and their office employees, adding them to the list of judicial officials whose personal details are safeguarded from public dissemination. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "judicial official" to include county attorneys and their staff, ensuring their residential addresses, non-work contact information, children's names, and details about their children's schools or childcare facilities cannot be publicly shared. The law defines "personal information" as specific private details that could potentially compromise the safety or privacy of judicial officials and their families. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow "publicly available information" to remain accessible, which includes details lawfully available through government records or widely distributed media. This modification aims to protect county attorneys and their employees from potential risks associated with the public disclosure of sensitive personal information, extending privacy protections already afforded to other judicial branch employees.
