Penalties and remedies available for a violation of the Government Data Practices Act extended to a violation of the Official Records Act.

HF 390 extends the existing penalties and enforcement mechanisms for violating Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act to violations of the Official Records Act. This means government entities that fail to comply with official records laws (like improperly withholding or destroying public documents) will now face the same remedies, procedures, and penalties outlined in statutes 13.08, 13.085, and 13.09. The bill directly affects state and local government offices responsible for maintaining public records, ensuring consistent consequences for record-keeping violations. It does not create new penalties but applies current enforcement tools to a broader scope of government record handling.
