Bill > SF2906

This bill requires employees of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) who serve the public to provide alternative contact information when their usual means of contact are unavailable. Specifically, if a DNR employee whose job involves direct public service cannot be reached through standard communication channels, they must offer either an alternative method of contact for themselves or provide contact information for another DNR employee who can provide the same service. The bill importantly clarifies that employees are not obligated to share private personal contact details. This provision aims to ensure that members of the public can still access necessary services and communicate with DNR employees even when standard communication methods are temporarily disrupted. The proposed change would be added as a new subdivision (Subdivision 5) to Minnesota Statutes section 84.083, which governs DNR employee practices and public interactions.
