Bill > SF2643

This bill modifies Minnesota's motor vehicle accident reporting requirements and introduces provisions for law enforcement to share certain data with contracted service providers. Specifically, the bill defines a new term "contracted service provider" as an entity authorized by a government agency to help generate, collect, manage, and disseminate crash reports or data. The bill expands the existing accident reporting framework by allowing peace officers to retain local copies of accident reports and permitting reporting agencies to provide non-personal data from accident reports to contracted service providers under strict conditions. These providers must be in the business of collecting accident and vehicle damage information and can only use the data to provide vehicle history information, not to identify individuals. The changes aim to streamline accident reporting processes and provide more efficient access to non-personal accident data while maintaining stringent privacy protections. All the modifications will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving agencies time to prepare for the new requirements.
