AI Summary
This bill, proposing to add Minnesota Statutes, chapter 13E, prohibits government entities from using generative artificial intelligence (AI), defined as machine-based technology that can generate outputs like content or decisions, to create or help create official government records, which are defined as recorded information documenting a government entity's official actions or functions. The bill mandates that drafts of official records must be kept for the same duration as the final record, and it provides enforcement mechanisms, allowing the attorney general to take action and individuals to file civil lawsuits for equitable or declaratory relief, with prevailing plaintiffs eligible for attorney fees and costs, provided they give the government entity 90 days' written notice of any alleged violation to allow for a cure.
