Bill > SF2051

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to expand the definition of "judicial official" to include county attorneys and their office employees, providing them with additional privacy protections. Specifically, the bill adds county attorneys and county attorney office employees to the list of individuals whose personal information is restricted from public dissemination. The personal information that remains protected includes residential addresses of the official and their family members, non-official telephone numbers and email addresses, names of the official's children, and details about children's schools or care facilities when combined with identifying information. The bill maintains existing exceptions that allow publicly available information (such as data from government records or widely distributed media) to remain accessible. This change aims to protect the privacy and potentially the safety of county attorneys and their staff by limiting public access to their personal contact and family information, recognizing the sensitive nature of their work in the legal system.
