Bill > SF2568

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the rules for attorneys accessing electronic court records through the Minnesota Government Access system. Currently, attorneys licensed in Minnesota can apply for an account to access electronic court records in state district courts. The proposed changes clarify that Government Access must provide an account to qualifying attorneys and distinguish between different types of attorneys' access. Specifically, attorneys employed by government agencies or civil legal services will continue to have free access to case documents and information, while private attorneys will now be required to pay a fee set by the judicial branch to view and print case documents. The bill aims to standardize and regulate court record access for attorneys, ensuring that private attorneys contribute financially to the system while maintaining their ability to retrieve necessary legal documents electronically.
