Data practices modification

SF 2089 amends Minnesota law to improve how individuals can correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by government agencies. It directly affects Minnesota residents whose data is maintained by public entities, such as in driver's license records or health department files. The bill requires agencies to correct or destroy disputed data within 30 days of a written request or explain why the data is accurate, with a 60-day appeal option to the commissioner if unresolved. If data is successfully challenged, agencies must complete, correct, or destroy it without regard to other record retention rules, while keeping only a summary of the dispute for records. This creates a clear, time-bound process for individuals to fix errors in government-held information.
