Access by federal immigration officers to public postsecondary campuses limited, and access to educational data modified.
HF 3411 limits federal immigration officers' access to student data at Minnesota's public colleges and universities. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require a judicial order or subpoena before educational institutions can disclose student records to immigration authorities, specifically restricting access under federal law (20 U.S.C. § 1232g). It directly affects public postsecondary campuses and students by strengthening privacy protections for educational data. Key provisions update existing disclosure rules to explicitly block immigration-related data sharing without court authorization, aligning with federal student privacy standards while adding state-level safeguards. The bill does not alter funding, programs, or other campus operations.
