HF 3863 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public library access by officials engaged in immigration enforcement limited.

This bill restricts access to Minnesota public libraries by federal, state, or local officials conducting immigration enforcement activities. It requires library staff to deny entry unless the official presents a valid judicial warrant, and mandates that staff request identification and limit access only to areas specified in the warrant. Additionally, the bill requires library employees to immediately notify their city mayor, county board representative, or regional system board when granting such entry, while allowing officials to enter for educational or library program administration. The law applies to all public libraries in the state and takes effect immediately upon final enactment.
