Bill > HF1836

This bill modifies Minnesota's data practices law by updating the procedure for individuals to contest the accuracy or completeness of public or private data about themselves. The bill clarifies the process for challenging data, including the requirement for a responsible authority to respond within 30 days by either correcting inaccurate or incomplete data or notifying the individual of the data's accuracy. It expands the appeals process by allowing individuals to appeal a determination to the commissioner within 60 days, with the commissioner first attempting to resolve disputes through education, conference, conciliation, or persuasion. The bill also introduces new provisions that allow responsible authorities to submit private data to the commissioner during an appeal, with specific rules about data classification and disclosure. Additionally, the bill provides that data successfully challenged by an individual must be completed, corrected, or destroyed by a government entity, and allows the entity to retain a copy of the resolution order or a summary of the dispute. The modifications aim to provide more transparency and clarity in how government entities handle and respond to challenges to individual data accuracy.
