Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to data practices; making all towns subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.02, subdivision 11.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act by modifying the definition of "political subdivision" in state statutes. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously limited the definition of "town" to only those towns located in the metropolitan area and exercising powers under a specific chapter of law. The revised definition now includes all towns, along with counties, cities, school districts, special districts, and various governmental boards and commissions. The bill also maintains existing language that extends the definition to include certain nonprofit corporations and social service agencies that perform contracted government services and handle individual data. By broadening the definition, the bill appears to ensure consistent data practices regulations apply to towns across Minnesota, regardless of their location or specific governmental powers.
