Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to elections; improving access to voter reports in a timely manner; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 201.091, subdivision 5.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Minnesota state law regarding voter list access by reducing the time frame for county auditors and the secretary of state to provide copies of public information lists to registered voters from ten days to two business days after receiving a written or electronic request. The bill maintains the existing requirement that requestors must pay for reproduction costs, and continues to mandate that these lists be available for free public inspection. It also preserves the existing prohibition on using list information for purposes unrelated to elections, political activities, or law enforcement. The change is designed to improve the timeliness of voter report access, making public voter information more quickly available to registered Minnesota voters while maintaining existing protections about list usage. The amendment will take effect the day after it is finally enacted.
