Bill > HF3406

This bill makes changes to how data related to firearm permits is handled in Minnesota, specifically regarding what information is considered public and how long it must be kept. It amends existing laws to classify data about the revocation, suspension, or voiding of a permit to carry a firearm as public information, meaning it can be accessed by the public. Additionally, it specifies that if an individual permit holder dies by suicide with a firearm or as a result of being shot by a peace officer, data about their permit becomes public. The bill also extends the retention period for certain firearm permit records held by sheriffs, requiring them to keep records for at least six years for individuals who have had their permit denied, revoked, or voided, or for those who die under the specific circumstances mentioned above, rather than purging them annually as previously required. This change aims to ensure that information related to individuals who have had their firearm permits affected by serious events or legal prohibitions is retained for a longer duration.
