AI Summary
This bill expands protections for personal information, such as residential addresses and personal phone numbers, to include current and former members of the Minnesota legislature, similar to existing protections for judicial officials. It redefines "judicial official" to "covered official" to encompass legislators and clarifies what constitutes "personal information" and "publicly available information" for these individuals. Additionally, the bill establishes a legislative task force to study and recommend improvements to privacy protections for all Minnesota government officials, with a report due by January 15, 2027, and appropriates funds for its operation. The revisor of statutes is also instructed to update terminology and renumber relevant sections of law to reflect these changes.
