Bill > SF4575

This bill, titled the Generative Artificial Intelligence in Official Records Usage Prohibition Provision, establishes new rules for how government entities in Minnesota can use artificial intelligence (AI) when creating official records. It defines "artificial intelligence" as technology that can learn from input to generate outputs like content or decisions, specifically including generative AI used for writing, but excluding simple dictation or caption generation. An "official record" is defined as any documented information created, received, or kept by a government entity that shows its official actions or functions. The core provision prohibits government entities from using AI to create official records or even drafts of them. The bill also mandates that any drafts of official records must be kept for the same duration as the final record. Enforcement of this prohibition is granted to the attorney general, and individuals can also file civil lawsuits seeking court orders to ensure compliance, with prevailing plaintiffs eligible for attorney fees. Before suing, individuals must provide the government entity with 90 days' written notice of the alleged violation, giving the entity a chance to fix the issue.
