This bill updates terminology and references related to domestic abuse programs and battered women, and also provides protections for research data on individuals. Specifically, it changes the term "battered women" to "domestic abuse victims" throughout Minnesota Statutes to reflect more current and inclusive language. It also adds provisions to protect the privacy of individuals participating in research conducted by the Office of Justice Programs, classifying their personal information and unique identification numbers as private data. Additionally, the bill establishes new offices and duties related to missing and murdered Indigenous relatives and missing and murdered Black women and girls, including providing case support to victims and their families, and clarifies that data collected by these offices related to case support is considered private.
