Bill > SF3836

This bill makes changes to how data related to firearm permits is handled in Minnesota, specifically regarding its classification as public information 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 data, meaning it can be accessed by the public. Furthermore, 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 will also become public. The bill also extends the retention period for certain firearm permit data for individuals who have had their permits denied, revoked, or voided, or who have died under the aforementioned circumstances, requiring this data to be kept for at least six years. This aims to provide greater transparency and ensure that relevant information is retained for a longer duration in specific, sensitive cases.
