Government entities prohibited from requesting or obtaining reverse-location information, uses of reverse-location data by various entities prohibited, and civil cause of action provided when data is obtained by a government entity.

HF 103 prohibits Minnesota government entities (like police or local agencies) from requesting or obtaining "reverse-location data" (information tracking device locations, such as cell tower pings or GPS) without a court order, except during declared emergencies. It bans using such data in criminal cases, prevents courts from issuing related orders, and stops government entities from seeking this data through informal requests. The bill also allows individuals to sue if government entities improperly obtain this location data. This directly affects law enforcement, government agencies, and tech companies holding location information.
