HF 3233 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Risk level III predatory offender name changes made public information.

HF 3233 requires courts to publicly disclose name changes for individuals classified as risk level III predatory offenders under Minnesota law. The bill amends statutes to mandate that courts report such name changes - including the offender's prior name, new name, Social Security number, date of birth, and last known address - to the Department of Corrections, state patrol, and local law enforcement for public disclosure. This applies specifically to offenders required to register under section 243.166, ensuring their name changes cannot evade public registration requirements. The policy directly affects high-risk offenders seeking name changes and law enforcement agencies responsible for maintaining public records. It does not alter registration duties but ensures name changes become part of publicly accessible offender information.
