Farmed Cervidae premises location data classified as private.
HF 2051 classifies location data for farms raising deer, elk, and similar animals (farmed Cervidae) as private information under Minnesota law. This bill directly affects farmed Cervidae operations and the Board of Animal Health, which collects and maintains this data. The key provision adds premises location, names, addresses, and identification numbers to the list of private data, restricting public access. The Board may only disclose this information for law enforcement, public health, or animal health/safety purposes. This changes how such data is handled, making it generally nonpublic unless specific disclosure conditions are met.
